The evolution of AI in drug discovery: learning from history’s mistakes (Part 2)

Drug Target Review

To understand the significance of this goal, it is important to recognise the current drug development process. This uncertainty contributes to the high failure rate and enormous costs of drug development. Currently, understanding these aspects requires extensive animal testing followed by human trials.

Separating the Hype from the Hyperbole Surrounding FDORA’s Alternatives to Animal Testing under the FD&C Act

FDA Law Blog: Drug Discovery

Since 1962, the FD&C Act has authorized FDA to require that sponsors of clinical trials submit data from “preclinical tests (including tests on animals)” in order to demonstrate that their drug is safe enough to advance to testing in humans. FDORA § 3209(a)(1). FDORA § 3209(a)(2). 42 U.S.C. §

In Silico for Drug Discovery

biobide

The in silico method represents an increasing role in drug discovery as technology becomes more sophisticated. It is fast becoming a cost-effective and efficient alternative to animal testing. It can be used in all stages of drug discovery, from screening to pre-clinical trials and greatly reduces drug development time.
