Abstract

AIAltMed is a cutting-edge platform designed for drug discovery and repurposing. It utilizes Tanimoto similarity to identify structurally similar non-medicinal compounds to known medicinal ones. This preprint introduces AIAltMed, discusses the concept of `AI-driven alternative medicine,' evaluates Tanimoto similarity's advantages and limitations, and details the system's architecture. Furthermore, it explores the benefits of extending the system to include PubChem and outlines a corresponding implementation strategy.
