Explainable AI predicts how plant compounds may cross intestinal barriers
PharmacyChemistryMedicine
THE AI ANGLE
Predicting intestinal absorption of plant compoundsResearchers built machine learning models to predict how plant compounds cross the intestinal barrier using their chemical structures. The system identifies which molecular features drive permeability and efflux. Scientists can now prioritize candidate drug molecules and functional food ingredients before running laboratory cell assays.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
The models predicted permeability and efflux accurately, but transepithelial electrical resistance proved harder to forecast consistently.Read the original at medicalxpress.com Generate teaching or study materials
