How the AI revolution can accelerate early drug discovery

Drug Target Review

Complex challenges such as metabolic stability or absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion (ADME) properties could be better predicted, accurately filtering out poor candidates and streamlining discovery. To really benefit from AI, the pharmaceutical industry must be more open to data sharing.

However, more de novo designed molecules in this “beyond the Rule of 5 chemical space” have emerged, with the first in this class, plerixafor , approved in oncology in 2008. Not only this, the reduction in rotatable bonds and consequent reduction in susceptibility to metabolism is an additional benefit [4].
