Can artificial intelligence help craft new medicines?

Drug Discovery World

Here, new bioassay technologies helped testing, but more definite answers were required. Expression patterns, proteomic profiles, bioassay results, and structures could now be captured en masse in normal and disease conditions. Thus, there was a dire need for new and effective drug targets.

Accelerating NDA filing through faster carcinogenicity assessment

Drug Discovery World

Carcinogenicity testing For decades, the two-year rodent bioassay has been the regulatory standard used to determine the carcinogenic potential of new drugs. This process historically involved lifetime carcinogenicity bioassays in two species. Figure 1: Comparing Carcinogenicity Testing Timelines in Transgenic vs. Standard Mice.
