The rapid transition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the pharmacy sciences is among the most evolutionary developments in medical and drug research history. Pharmaceutical Frontiers: Integrating Artificial Intelligence Across Drug Discovery, Development, and Dosage is conceptualized as a progressive and accessible resource, designed to explore how AI technologies are making a real impact on the whole pharmaceutical ecosystem - from natural product discovery to patient-centered medicine, from formulation innovation to regulatory strategies. This book bridges a sound foundational AI concept with real-world Pharmacy and Pharmaceuticals applications, offering readers a clear grasp of core concepts of AI and its implementation in pharmaceutical research and practice. Also, readers will journey from a clear introduction to AI in pharmacy to advanced topics such as AI in pharmacognosy and natural product research, and how AI accelerates the discovery of compounds and the prediction of bioactivity.
