Artificial intelligence in anti-obesity drug discovery: unlocking next-generation therapeutics
Obesity, a multifactorial disease linked to severe health risks, requires innovative treatments beyond lifestyle changes and current medications. Existing anti-obesity drugs face limitations regarding efficacy, side effects, weight regain and high costs. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a pivotal tool in drug discovery, expediting the identification of novel drug candidates and optimizing treatment strategies. This review examines AI’s potential in developing next-generation anti-obesity therapeutics, with a focus on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and their role in discovering anti-obesity peptides. Additionally, it explores integration challenges and offers future perspectives on leveraging AI to reshape the landscape of anti-obesity drug discovery.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
