description Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are highly effective at passing through eukaryotic membranes with various cargo molecules, like drugs, proteins, nucleic acids, and nanoparticles, without causing significant harm. Creating drug delivery systems with CPP is associated with cancer, genetic disorders, and diabetes due to their unique chemical properties. Wet lab experiments in drug discovery methodologies are time-consuming and expensive. Machine learning (ML) techniques can enhance and accelerate the drug discovery process with accurate and intricate data quality. ML classifiers, such as support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDT), and different types of artificial neural networks (ANN), are commonly used for CPP prediction with cross-validation performance evaluation. Functional CPP prediction is improved by using these ML strategies by using CPP datasets produced by high-throughput sequencing and computational methods. This review focuses on several ML-based CPP prediction tools. We discussed the CPP mechanism to understand the basic functioning of CPPs through cells. A comparative analysis of diverse CPP prediction methods was conducted based on their algorithms, dataset size, feature encoding, software utilities, assessment metrics, and prediction scores. The performance of the CPP prediction was evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) on independent datasets. In conclusion, this review will encourage the use of ML algorithms for finding effective CPPs, which will have a positive impact on future research on drug delivery and therapeutics.
