I am trying to fit my in-vitro dissolution data to the Weibull
Equation. Is
it possible to use WinNonlin. If yes, how do I?
If not, is there any other method.
Also, I have come across different Weibull equations (at least three)
and
I'm not sure which one I should use.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks,
Sumithra

GastroPlus provides both Weibull and tabulated options for
released/dissolution.
The Weibull function we use is:
% released = 100 * (1 - exp[ - (t-Tlag)^b / A] )
where T = time lag, h
A = time scale, h
b = shaping parameter

The following URL leads to a simple Excel spreadsheet for fitting a
Weibull
to in vitro dissolution data. Use the Excel addin optimizer (under
Tools/Solver) to fit any or all of the three Weibull parameters.

Hi,
please find the code for Weibull model in WNL
note that if you want to use empirical models for analysis of
dissolution data, try also Logistic, Hill, Morgan, Richards, Hopfenberg
(is a mechanistic but in some instances can be used as empirical).
