This article provides a new innovative tool for pharmaceutical preformulation to predict whether a disintegrant excipient or mixture of powder containing API+excipients is suitable to obtain a bucodispersible tablet by direct compression or not. This innovative tool is the new model SeDeM-ODT that provides the Index of Good Compressibility and Bucodispersibility (IGCB index), which is based on the previous SeDeM expert system that indicates the aptitude of a powder to be compressed. The IGCB index is composed of six main factors (from 15 pharmaceutical raw parameters), which indicate whether a mixture of powder has the aptitude to be compressed by direct compression and at the same time indicates whether these tablets are suitable to be used as a bucodispersible tablet (disintegration time lower than 3 min).
