Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Pharmacokinetic studies encompass the examination of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of bioactive compounds. The pharmacokinetics of drugs exert a substantial influence on their efficacy and safety. Consequently, the investigation of pharmacokinetics holds great importance. However, laboratory-based assessment necessitates the use of numerous animals, various materials, and significant time. To mitigate these challenges, alternative methods such as artificial intelligence have emerged as a promising approach. This systematic review aims to review existing studies, focusing on the application of artificial intelligence tools in predicting the pharmacokinetics of drugs.
