“AI will not replace drug discovery scientists, but drug discovery scientists who use AI will replace those who don’t” – comment during EFMC meeting 2018 Progressing a drug molecule from concept to commercialisation typically takes 10-15 years and has high associated costs of up to $2 billion per launched drug, if all failures are factored in.

Now >20% of all commercialised medicines in the pharmaceutical industry contain a fluorine atom [2]. This was surprising given that replacement of a phenyl with a pyrimidine and fluorination of aryl or heteroaryl rings are techniques often used to increase metabolic stability. Benjamin M. Bourgeois, James A. Elizabeth A.

Most pharmaceutical compounds tend to have solubilities somewhere between 1 and 500 µM. I wrote more about the problems with this dataset in a Practical Cheminformatics post in 2018. Over the last 40 years, the pharmaceutical industry has developed a wide range of invitro and invivo assays for assessing the safety of drug candidates.
