<p>MIT and other researchers developed a multipronged strategy to identify the transporters used by different drugs. Their approach, which makes use of both tissue models and machine-learning algorithms, has already revealed that a commonly prescribed antibiotic and a blood-thinner can interfere with each other.</p>
A new AI strategy can identify transporters used by different drugs. The approach has already revealed that a commonly prescribed antibiotic and a blood-thinner can interfere with each other.
Any drug that is taken orally must pass through the lining of the digestive tract. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many drugs, it’s unknown which of those transporters they use to exit the digestive tract.
By using only the most valuable data, ‘active’ machine learning algorithms can help identify the next class of molecular therapeutics
