In the last few decades, hot-melt extrusion (HME) has emerged as a rapidly growing technology in the pharmaceutical industry, due to its various advantages over other fabrication routes for drug delivery systems. After the introduction of the ‘quality by design’ (QbD) approach by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), many research studies have focused on implementing process analytical technology (PAT), including near-infrared (NIR), Raman, and UV–Vis, coupled with various machine learning algorithms, to monitor and control the HME process in real time. This review gives a comprehensive overview of the application of machine learning algorithms for HME processes, with a focus on pharmaceutical HME applications. The main current challenges in the application of machine learning algorithms for pharmaceutical processes are discussed, with potential future directions for the industry.

Crystal engineering technique has been widely explored in recent times to bring about changes in crystallinity which aids to achieve various goals such as solubility enhancement, stability and in vivo bioavailability without altering the chemical properties of the drug. Cocrystallisation is one of the crystal engineering approaches where the drug and an inert coformer are linked together by hydrogen bonding forming supramolecular homosynthon or heterosynthon using solvent-based or solvent-free techniques. Processing of active pharmaceutical ingredients with inert water-soluble coformers yields multicomponent crystalline cocrystals with high-performance characteristics and enhanced flow properties. Due to the emerging need of the industry for greener techniques, hot melt extrusion (HME), a continuous and solvent-free process is emerging as a field of interest in the mechanochemical synthesis of various pharmaceutical dosage forms such as solid dispersions, implants, ointments, and cocrystals. The current review emphasizes the role of HME as a cocrystallization technique for drugs to tailor-make their properties and ease of formulation. The distinct feature of HME is phase control during the process of cocrystallization. Furthermore, the selection of appropriate coformers with desirable water-solubility and stability features makes HME amenable to cocrystallization of versatile actives yielding suitable dosage forms. The application of process analytical technology further adds ease of monitoring during HME in cocrystallization approaches. Due to these salient features of HME, it can act as a prospective technique for cocrystallization of versatile drugs thus yielding dosage forms with desirable solubility and stability features.
