Role of AI in PKPD studies. Pharmacokinetic studies include absorption (A), distribution (D), metabolism (M), and excretion (E) studies. A pharmacodynamic study includes the drug’s effect on the target. Understanding the effect of drug molecules and their distribution requires a large number of calculations. A smaller miscalculation or missed dataset may lead to a huge error that may be critical. AI helps to accelerate complicated calculations without missing datasets and provides more accurate, faster, and cost-effective results. It converts complicated data into easily understandable and representable graphs, which might help to identify the root cause of the problem. It can also help to minimize animal studies by calculating the impact of different conditions such as enzymes, diseased conditions, dosing differences, patient data, etc., in different animals and reduce the number of animals required for clinical trials.
