AI-driven <i>de novo</i> design of BRAF inhibitors with enhanced binding affinity and optimized drug-likeness

This work highlights a reproducible, integrated AI-driven workflow demonstration for targeted inhibitor generation. The generated inhibitors exhibit favorable drug-like properties and inhibitory activity, offering a scalable solution for designing safer cancer therapies. Experimental validation is needed to address potential discrepancies between computational predictions and biological behavior.

Abstract

This work highlights a reproducible, integrated AI-driven workflow demonstration for targeted inhibitor generation. The generated inhibitors exhibit favorable drug-like properties and inhibitory activity, offering a scalable solution for designing safer cancer therapies. Experimental validation is needed to address potential discrepancies between computational predictions and biological behavior.
