Typically, surfactant and/or polymers are added in the dispersion medium of the suspension during processing for stabilization purposes. However, current formulation investigations with milling are heavily based on prior expertise and trial-and-error approaches. Various interacting parameters such as the milling bead size, stabilizer type and concentration have confounded the investigation of milling process. The present study systematically exploited statistical and machine learning (ML) strategies to understand the relationship between suspension characteristics and formulation parameters under full-factorial milling experiments. Stabilizer concentration was identified as a significant factor (p \u003C 0.001) for median suspension diameter (D50). A formulation stability classification ML model with high prediction accuracy (0.91) and F1-score (0.91) under 10-fold cross-validation was constructed based on 72 formulation datapoints. Model interpretation through Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) revealed the prominent impact of stabilizer concentration and milling bead size on formulation stability. The present work demonstrated the potential to achieve a deeper understanding of the design and optimization of nano- and microsuspensions through explainable ML modelling on formulation screening data. |  |\n\n1. Introduction  \nTo overcome suboptimal treatment outcome of long-term or chronic conditions (e.g., schizophrenia or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)) and poor patient compliance due to frequent administration, several formulation strategies have been investigated (Park et al., 2013; Okoli et al., 2022). Among these, long-acting injectables (LAIs) have clinically been shown to prolong the release of an active pharmaceutical compound for weeks to months by a single injection. LAIs are based on different formulation techniques, where aqueous suspensions containing crystalline drug particles can be engineered to release the active compound for a predefined plasma-concentration profile, within a safe therapeutic range, by controlling the sizes of the drug particles (Park et al., 2013; Owen & Rannard, 2016; Pacchiarotti et al., 2019; Nkanga et al., 2020; Bao et al., 2021; Okoli et al., 2022; Wilkinson et al., 2022;  \nBauer et al., 2023; Holm et al., 2023; Alidori et al., 2024).  \nThe manufacturing of nano-and microsuspensions is often prepared by the highly efficient wet bead media milling (i.e., top-down size reduction approach) which reduces the size of larger drug particles into smaller particles by the friction from mechanical forces generated by milling beads while suspended in an aqueous stabilizer vehicle (Verma et al., 2009;
