3Z ehf and Biotx.ai AG have established a strategic partnership to help advance the development of drugs for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to entice. On the exhibition floor at the 2023 Congress of the European Academy of Neurology, one company’s booth featured “Mindart” technology. A passersby could answer a short series of prompts, and get a unique image based on the input made by generative AI. Entertainment aside, medically speaking, AI applications “are still research,” Riccardo Soffietti told his audience at one of several sessions devoted to AI. “But obviously, research is the future.”

Poolbeg Pharma plc has announced the discovery of multiple influenza drug targets through an artificial intelligence (AI)-led program.

Delta4 GmbH has announced the identification of a potential new therapeutic option for the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).

Iktos SA and Curreio Inc. have established a collaboration agreement using artificial intelligence (AI) for new drug design. Under this collaboration, Iktos will leverage its de novo generative design technology in combination with Curreio’s cryo-electron microscopy (EM) platform to facilitate the rapid design of novel preclinical drug candidates for an undisclosed target.

Despite the title of the Sunday, June 4 lead-off presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting in Chicago, there was little room left for doubt about the increasingly important place of artificial intelligence (AI) in drug development. The program, Artificial Intelligence for Drug Development: Fad or Future, ultimately pointed to a positive future, with the only faddish part being discarded approaches that no longer work.

Xtalpi Inc. has entered into an artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery collaboration with Eli Lilly & Co. The collaboration, valued at up to $250 million in upfront and milestone payments, will leverage Xtalpi’s integrated AI capabilities and robotics platform to de novo design and deliver drug candidates for an undisclosed target. Xtalpi seeks to deliver a novel compound, which Lilly will pursue in clinical and commercial development.
