Latest inventions in science and technology AI framework developed to simplify drug synthesis Researchers at the Wadhwani School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at IIT-Madras and The Ohio State University developed the framework. The framework is designed to generate drug-like molecules that are easier to synthesise in a laboratory. The AI framework is called PURE – Policy-guided Unbiased Representations for Structure Constrained Molecular Generation. Purpose and Function Designed to generate drug-like molecules that are easier to synthesise in laboratories. Aims to simplify and accelerate the early stages of drug discovery. Benefits Can reduce the time and cost of early-stage drug development, which often spans several years or decades and costs millions of dollars. Has potential applications in combating drug resistance, particularly in cancer and infectious diseases. The findings were published in the Journal for Cheminformatics.
