Using AI to find new pharmaceutical applications for natural products
Artificial intelligence (AI) is able to recognize the biological activity of natural products in a targeted manner, as researchers at ETH Zurich have demonstrated. Moreover, AI helps to find molecules that have the same effect as a natural substance but are easier to manufacture. This opens up huge possibilities for drug discovery, which also have potential to rewrite the rulebook for pharmaceutical research.
Nature has a vast store of medicinal substances.
Over 50 percent of all drugs today are inspired by nature.
