Most cancers medication by pc — Science Information, February 23, 1974
Chemists usually have to kind a lot of compounds based on whether or not or not they possess a given property.… [Researchers] have been engaged on a method of getting computer systems to show themselves how one can resolve such issues. The latest experiments point out that the method [based on pattern recognition] could also be helpful find most cancers medication.

Fashionable computer systems can do greater than sift via identified compounds. With superior synthetic intelligence, computer systems are serving to scientists design novel molecules and predict how these compounds will react with proteins within the physique, presumably resulting in new most cancers remedies (SN: 10/18/18). The know-how is promising however nonetheless in its early days. In the end, most drug candidates will nonetheless falter in individuals, some scientists warning. In 2021, the worldwide biotech firm Exscientia launched the first trial of an AI-developed most cancers drug. However the firm shelved the drug in 2023 after it proved to be ineffective. Different AI most cancers medication are in varied phases of testing.
