Article Abstract

The integration of machine learning (ML) and high-throughput experimentation (HTE) is rapidly transforming research practices in synthetic chemistry. Traditional trial-and-error methods, historically slow and labour-intensive, are being replaced by automated, predictive workflows that significantly accelerate the optimization of chemical reactions. This review highlights the foundational principles and recent advancements in ML and HTE, while emphasizing automation, parallelization, and miniaturization across different systems and their adaptation in autonomous laboratories. Case studies illustrate successful application of ML and HTE in synthetic chemistry, underscoring the enhanced efficiency, and precision through this synergy. The review concludes by addressing current challenges and future directions, outlining how ongoing developments in automation, robotics, and AI/ML-driven experimentation will shape the future landscape of chemistry research.

Traditional drug discovery methods like high-throughput screening and molecular docking are slow and costly. This study introduces a machine learning framework to predict bioactivity (pIC₅₀) and identify key molecular properties and structural features for targeting Trypanothione reductase (TR), Protein kinase C theta (PKC-θ), and Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) using data from the ChEMBL database. Molecular fingerprints, generated via PaDEL-Descriptor and RDKit, encoded structural features as binary vectors.

Drug absorption significantly influences pharmacokinetics. Accurately predicting human oral bioavailability (HOB) is essential for optimizing drug candidates and improving clinical success rates. The traditional method based on experiment is a common way to obtain HOB, but the experimental method is time-consuming and costly.

This study explores how differences in colors presented separately to each eye (binocular color differences) can be identified through EEG signals, a method of recording electrical activity from the brain. Four distinct levels of green-red color differences, defined in the CIELAB color space with constant luminance and chroma, are investigated in this study. Analysis of Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) revealed a significant decrease in the amplitude of the P300 component as binocular color differences increased, suggesting a measurable brain response to these differences.

Background And Objectives: Older adults living with dementia are a heterogeneous group, which can make studying optimal medication management challenging. Unsupervised machine learning is a group of computing methods that rely on unlabeled data-that is, where the algorithm itself is discovering patterns without the need for researchers to label the data with a known outcome. These methods may help us to better understand complex prescribing patterns in this population.
