Accelerating Drug Discovery with AI — Small Molecules and Beyond

Machine learning and AI are transforming drug discovery, impacting areas like target assessment, chemical space exploration, and compound optimization. At AstraZeneca, AI technologies such as protein folding and REINVENT push the boundaries of protein structure prediction and molecular ideation.

Further, the field is advancing with PROTACs (proteolytic targeting chimeras), which leverage the cellular degradation process for targeted protein degradation, potentially offering advantages over traditional inhibitors. Based on public data from PROTAC-DB and PROTACpedia we are building ML/AI models to help up enhance degradation efficiency predictions.

By addressing current challenges and using advanced techniques, AI continues to expand the scope and efficiency of drug discovery.

Comparing the Performance of BioSolveIT and Alternative Technologies
August 4, 2026 09:21 CEST
Chemical Space DockingĀ® (C-S-D) is designed for computationally efficient structure-based exploration of ultra-large Chemical Spaces. But how does it compare with other approaches? When searching ultra-large Chemical Spaces, computational efficiency and algorithmic strategies are crucial if trillions of compounds are to be screened for potential candidates. The approaches used to...

New Publication: Strategies for Identifying Molecules of Interest in Large Chemical Spaces
July 14, 2026 11:25 CEST
In collaboration with Pfizer, our team recently published a study in the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling. The work represents fundamental research into molecular similarity, extended to ultra-large, combinatorial Chemical Spaces. Read the Full Publication (Open Access) Which Central Questions Were Addressed? Which similarity-score thresholds are meaningful? How do...
