Intellomx Launches Swarm-Based AI Platform to Accelerate and De-Risk Novel Target and Drug Discovery

Intellomx announces its' new Pilot platform, delivering rapid identification of novel drugs arising from its therapeutic target identification capability.

CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM, April 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intellomx (Intelligent OMICS Ltd) today announced the deployment of Intellomx Pilot, delivering rapid identification of novel drugs arising from its existing precision therapeutic target identification capability, offering pharmaceutical innovators a powerful tool to streamline and de-risk the drug discovery process.

Intellomx Pilot represents a major leap forward in virtual drug screening. Pilot rapidly identifies pharmacophoric features within AI-predicted targets and performs high-throughput docking simulations across a chemical space of over 500 million small molecules. This enables fast, structure-informed hit identification and lead optimization, with a strong emphasis on drug-likeness, target selectivity, and minimized off-target risks.

Built on proprietary Swarm-Based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technology, the Intellomx I³ (“Intuitive Informed Intelligence”) platform processes and integrates multi-omics data – including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics – to uncover disease-specific targets with high confidence.

Using Intellomx Pilot, these targets are docked with small molecules exhibiting favourable binding affinities and then evaluated for druggability using predictive indices and cross-referenced across physiological states to eliminate candidates associated with essential normal functions. Intellomx Pilot integrates docking simulations and evaluates molecular characteristics to assess drug-likeness, facilitating hit identification and optimization.

“Our I³ platform has consistently demonstrated high precision in identifying novel disease-modifying targets,” said Professor Graham Ball, Chief Scientific Officer at Intellomx. “With the integration of our new Pilot technology, we now offer an end-to-end AI solution that delivers both first-in-class targets and candidate molecules capable of modulating them – all virtually, and all before entering the lab.”

This combined capability significantly reduces the uncertainty, research time and cost typically associated with early-stage drug development, offering pharma R&D teams a preclinical advantage that can reshape project timelines and resource allocation.
