Summary

This systematic review examines how artificial intelligence is transforming drug discovery and development across various stages, from hit identification to lead optimization. The study analyzes research published between 2015-2025 and categorizes AI applications by methodology, clinical phase, and therapeutic area. The review demonstrates that AI—particularly machine learning (40.9%) and molecular modeling/simulation (20.7%)—significantly accelerates drug discovery timelines and improves clinical outcomes. The findings highlight AI's growing role in enhancing the speed and precision of identifying drug candidates and optimizing their efficacy across multiple therapeutic domains.
