Application and design of artificial intelligence in computer-aided drug design for ischemic stroke
The development of drugs for ischemic stroke has long been plagued by the dilemma of high investment, high attrition, and low translational success rates. This narrative review summarizes the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in ischemic stroke drug design, specifically encompassing intelligent target mining, the generation and optimization of lead compounds, early prediction of pharmacokinetics/toxicity (ADMET), and the optimization of clinical trial protocols. Although AI-aided drug design has progressed from a theoretical concept to practical validation, significant challenges remain in data quality, model interpretability, and clinical translation. However, with ongoing efforts such as the construction of high-quality multimodal databases and the advancement of explainable AI models, artificial intelligence holds considerable promise for continuously driving the discovery of novel therapeutics for stroke treatment.
