Abstract

High throughput experimentation (HTE) is a common practice in the pharmaceutical industry. Medicinal chemists design reaction arrays to optimize the yield of couplings between building blocks and/or pharmacophores. Popular reactions attempted by medicinal chemists include the amide coupling, Suzuki coupling, and Buchwald-Hartwig coupling. We show how the artificial intelligence (AI) language model ChatGPT can automatically formulate reaction arrays for these common reactions based on the literature corpus it was trained on. Furthermore, we showcase how ChatGPT results can be directly translated into inputs for the HTE management software phactor, which enables automated execution and analysis of assays. This workflow is experimentally demonstrated.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
