Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that builds an artificial system with certain intelligence and uses computer software and hardware to simulate intelligent human behavior. When combined with drug research and development, AI can considerably shorten this cycle, improve research efficiency, and minimize costs. The use of machine learning to discover novel materials and predict material properties has become a new research direction. On the basis of the current status of worldwide research on the combination of AI and crystal form and cocrystal, this mini-review analyzes and explores the application of AI in polymorphism prediction, crystal structure analysis, crystal property prediction, cocrystal former (CCF) screening, cocrystal composition prediction, and cocrystal formation prediction. This study provides insights into the future applications of AI in related fields.

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
Polymer Classification: Crystallinity
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...
