Abstract

Artificial Intelligence simply called AI is a branch of computer science which uses computer programming languages to fix some problems. Now-a-days it widely evolved in the areas of Pharmacy, Health care, medicine. Etc. The field of computer science is increasing daily the applications of AI also increasing. Drug discovery and development takes much time and money. To create a small drug molecule it will takes billions of dollars. To reduce these problems AI was used in phamra industries. Drug development and discovery are increasingly relying heavily on AI. AI is used throughout, from the initial phase of target selection to the conclusion of marketing, saving time and money. In this review, deals about the different phases of drug discovery and development like target identification, protein- drug interactions, lead optimization, QSAR studies, molecular docking and virtual screening, clinical trails, Phytochemical screening, binding affinity, toxicity studies. In these, various AI applications uses were mentioned. Not only drug discovery process AI also used in different fields of pharma sectors.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI), computer science, drug discovery, drug interactions, target, lead, QSAR, docking, virtual screening, clinical trails.
