ABSTRACT

Artificial Neural Network is being used in most of the scientific fields including drug discovery; however there is scanty reports on the application of Artificial Neural Network in the spectrophotometric analysis of multi-component formulations. This review is focused on the basics of Artificial Neural Network and its applications in the simultaneous quantitative analysis of multi-component samples. Application of Artificial Neural Network in simultaneous analysis gives a simple, rapid, accurate method for the estimation of multi-component samples.

Keywords: Artificial neural network, Simultaneous analysis, Principal component artificial neural network, Backpropagation, UV spectroscopy, Kinetic spectroscopy.
