headline: AI-enabled drug and molecular discovery: computational methods, platforms, and translational horizons
dek: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with bioinformatics has initiated a transformative shift in drug discovery, redefining how pharmaceutical research and development are conducted. This review examines both the current state and emerging prospects of AI-driven strategies across the drug discovery pipeline, from target identification and molecular design to clinical applications. Advances in machine learning, deep learning, graph neural networks, transformers, foundation models, and quantum computing…

problem_reading: AI integration in drug discovery still limited by data quality and bias, lack of transparency and interpretability, high computational demands, and privacy and fairness risks.
problem_evidence: significant challenges remain, including issues of data quality and bias | model transparency and interpretability, computational resource demands
quick_read: Published December 12, 2025 as a peer-reviewed review, the article synthesizes how AI and bioinformatics are being applied across pharmaceutical R&D, from target identification to clinical use. It highlights advances in deep learning, graph networks, transformers, foundation models, and tools like AlphaFold, RFdiffusion, and AlphaFold3, reporting observed capabilities such as large-scale structure prediction and workflow compression from five years to 12-18 months.

The findings matter because faster, cheaper discovery could affect medicine development and patient access, but the review itself frames these gains against unresolved issues that determine whether lab advances reach patients. It points to data quality, bias, interpretability, compute requirements, and ethical concerns as gaps that must be addressed for responsible and reproducible clinical translation.
limitation: Review notes persistent barriers to translation including data quality and bias, model interpretability, compute demands, and privacy and fairness concerns.
tag: Evidence-backed problem
key_points: Review covers AI across drug discovery pipeline from target identification and molecular design to clinical applications. | Market context: AI in pharmaceuticals valued at $1.8 billion in 2023, projected to reach $13.1 billion by 2030. | Landmark tools cited include AlphaFold with over 200 million predicted structures, plus RFdiffusion and AlphaFold3 for de novo design and multi-omics integration. | Conventional drug development baseline noted as 12.5 years and over $2 billion per drug, framing AI efficiency claims.
rundown: The review surveys machine learning, deep learning, graph neural networks, transformers, foundation models, and quantum computing applied to target identification, molecular design, and clinical translation, citing AlphaFold's 200 million predicted structures and over 20,000 citations as a paradigm shift.

It quantifies conventional development at 12.5 years and over $2 billion per drug, contrasts AI workflows that compress discovery to 12-18 months and cut costs up to 40%, and projects market growth from $1.8 billion in 2023 to $13.1 billion by 2030 at 18.8% CAGR.
