How the AI revolution can accelerate early drug discovery

Drug Target Review

How AI/ML technology has accelerated drug discovery Although AI for drug discovery (AIDD) can be viewed as being in the initial phases of development and acceptance, compounds discovered using AIDD platforms are already entering clinical trials. To really benefit from AI, the pharmaceutical industry must be more open to data sharing.

Metabolism of macrocyclic drugs

Metabolite Tales Blog

Still, of the 34 macrocycles currently in clinical trials, only 18% are de novo designed. Not only this, the reduction in rotatable bonds and consequent reduction in susceptibility to metabolism is an additional benefit [4]. Several metabolites were observed with an S -oxide and an acyl glucuronide being major human metabolites.
