Transforming Pharmaceutics and Pharmacology: The Pivotal Role of Artificial Intelligence in Shaping the Future of Drug Development

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping the landscape of pharmaceutics and pharmacology by introducing innovative methodologies for drug discovery, development, and personalized medicine. With AI's capability to process and analyze large datasets, its application in predicting drug interactions, identifying novel drug candidates, and optimizing formulations is revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry. AI-driven technologies, such as machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, have the potential to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with drug development while enhancing the precision and efficacy of treatments. This review explores the various applications of AI in pharmaceutics and pharmacology, discussing its role in drug design, formulation development, pharmacokinetics, and personalized medicine. Furthermore, it examines the challenges and ethical considerations that arise as AI continues to integrate into these fields, highlighting its transformative potential and future directions
