- Supercritical fluids (SCFs) are a safer, eco-friendly alternative to harmful solvents in drug nanoparticle preparation, enhancing drug solubility.
- The study focuses on using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO) to improve the solubility of the chemotherapeutic drug Letrozole (LET) through machine learning models.
- The research compares several models, finding the RBF-SVM model to be the best performer with a high degree of accuracy (R-squared = 0.9947) and minimal prediction error (0.1289).
