Deep learning (DL) has catalyzed a paradigm shift, offering unprecedented computational capabilities to accelerate this process. This review systematically summarizes advancements in DL methodologies for drug discovery. First, the critical data foundations, Molecular Representation Learning, and core architectures underpinning artificial intelligence (AI)-driven therapeutics are elucidated, with a particular emphasis on the evolution of generative AI frameworks (such as Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and diffusion models) for chemical space exploration. Subsequently, diverse DL applications across the discovery pipeline are investigated, encompassing target identification, virtual screening,\n                    <jats:italic>de novo<\/jats:italic>\n                    molecular design, retrosynthetic analysis, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profiling, and drug repurposing. Furthermore, persistent challenges, particularly data scarcity, model opacity, experimental validation bottlenecks, and escalating computational resource requirements, are critically evaluated. To bridge the gap between\n                    <jats:italic>in silico<\/jats:italic>\n                    predictions, chemical synthesis, and biological reality, emerging solutions such as federated learning, causality-aware Explainable AI (XAI), closed-loop autonomous laboratories, and efficiency-oriented algorithmic strategies are explored. Ultimately, this article provides strategic insights into leveraging DL, underscoring its transformative potential in driving next-generation medicinal and therapeutic innovation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2026.1927954","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T09:17:36Z","timestamp":1788945456000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Artificial intelligence-driven drug discovery: a deep learning paradigm shift in pharmaceutical research and development"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xueyuan","family":"Bi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy, Honghui Hospital, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University","place":["Xi\u2019an, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yangyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Electronic Information, Yan\u2019an University","place":["Yan\u2019an, Shaanxi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jihan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yan\u2019an Medical College of Yan\u2019an University","place":["Yan\u2019an, Shaanxi, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cuicui","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science and Education, Honghui Hospital, Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University","place":["Xi\u2019an, China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1186\/s13321-022-00623-6","article-title":"Designing optimized drug candidates with generative adversarial network","volume":"14","author":"Abbasi","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
