Abstract
Natural microtubule inhibitors, such as paclitaxel and ixabepilone, are key sources of novel medications, which have a considerable influence on anti-tumor chemotherapy. Natural product chemists have been encouraged to create novel methodologies for screening the new generation of microtubule inhibitors from the enormous natural product library. There have been major advancements in the use of artificial intelligence in medication discovery recently. Deep learning algorithms, in particular, have shown promise in terms of swiftly screening effective leads from huge compound libraries and producing novel compounds with desirable features. We used a deep neural network to search for potent β-microtubule inhibitors in natural goods. Eleutherobin, bruceine D (BD), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) are three highly effective natural compounds that have been found as β-microtubule inhibitors. In conclusion, this paper describes the use of deep learning to screen for effective β-microtubule inhibitors. This research also demonstrates the promising possibility of employing deep learning to develop drugs from natural products for a wider range of disorders.
