Modern drug discovery is driven by high demand in the pharmaceutical industry to test growing libraries of compounds against potential targets. High-throughput screening (HTS) is characterized by fully automated experimentation that leverages robotic liquid handling systems, analytical techniques, and advanced computing and statistics, including the recent integration of artificial intelligence. To align with this trend, it is crucial to develop and implement new HTS platforms that offer improved predictivity and physiological relevance. In recent years, microphysiological systems, commonly known as organ-on-chip (OoC) systems, have progressed from a theoretical concept to a powerful alternative to conventional in vitro and animal models. High-throughput OoC (HT-OoC) systems could represent the disruptive technology sought by pharmaceutical companies to address their enormous research and development (R&D) expenses. In this study, we provide a brief overview of commercial products utilizing modern HT-OoC systems in drug discovery and development. Additionally, we discuss recent trends in R&D aimed at industrialization.
