Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Models for Predicting Drug-Induced Kidney Injury in Small Molecules.

Background/objectives: Drug-Induced Kidney Injury (DIKI) presents a significant challenge in drug development, often leading to clinical-stage failures. The early prediction of DIKI risk can improve drug safety and development efficiency. Existing models tend to focus on physicochemical properties alone, often overlooking drug-target interactions crucial for DIKI.
