β¦ Synopsis
Models used in the description of diffusion processes were applied to drug release from semisolids. Two models, an exponential model for finite systems and a nonexponential model for semi-infinite and infinite systems, are evaluated for their suitability in describing literature data for release of substances from semisolids. The regression lines calculated for these data are evaluated using analysis of variance and examination of residuals. Evaluation of these models using these data indicates that the exponential model derived for finite systems is applicable in all the literature cases while the nonexponential model has restricted applicability.
