This peer-reviewed study presents an artificial intelligence and AutoML-based QSPR framework for predicting human intestinal absorption (HIA) of serotonergic drug candidates. The authors developed a two-stage modeling pipeline combining classification and regression models to improve prediction reliability for oral drug screening. Built with automated machine learning and validated using cross-validation and external datasets, the system demonstrates strong performance in identifying highly permeable compounds. The research highlights how machine learning, predictive analytics, and explainable AI can support early-stage drug discovery and ADME analysis.
