Redwood AI Announces Collaboration with Resilience Biosciences Inc. to Advance AI-Assisted Small-Molecule Drug Development

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2026 / Redwood AI Corp. (CSE:AIRX)(OTCQB:RDWCF)(Frankfurt:Y0N, WKN: A422EZ) ("Redwood" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a collaboration with Resilience Biosciences Inc. ("Resilience" or "RBI"), a Vancouver-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, to support the development and evaluation of AI-assisted computational chemistry workflows for small-molecule drug development. The collaboration will allow Resilience to use Redwood's AI platform to explore new drug-like molecules more efficiently, with a focus on identifying useful chemical designs that may facilitate development, manufacture, and intellectual property evaluation.

Redwood believes this collaboration represents an important application of artificial intelligence in the life sciences sector, where computational tools can help scientific teams evaluate broader areas of chemical space more efficiently, identify structurally relevant candidates, and support more informed decision-making in early-stage drug development. The collaboration is focused on applying Redwood's computational chemistry, cheminformatics, and synthetic route design capabilities to assist Resilience's small-molecule discovery and development efforts. The work is expected to include support for systematic derivative generation, preliminary patentability and freedom-to-operate workflow support, and retrosynthetic analysis for potential drug candidates.

As part of the collaboration, Redwood will work with Resilience to evaluate and co-develop a synthetic assistance workflow aimed at supporting the modification of core drug scaffolds and the identification of novel chemical space. The platform is intended to help streamline early scientific analysis by combining in-silico synthesis planning tools with expert review from experienced synthetic chemists.

"Small-molecule development requires a careful balance of creativity, scientific rigour, synthetic feasibility, and intellectual property awareness. Our goal is to give research teams better tools to explore chemical possibilities in a structured, secure, and scalable way. This collaboration demonstrates how AI can be applied to practical, IP-aware chemistry workflows that support a more efficient path from early molecular ideas to development-ready opportunities," stated Louis Dron, Chief Executive Officer.

Resilience is developing non-opioid therapeutics for opioid withdrawal, withdrawal-associated pain, and related neurocognitive symptoms. Redwood's work under the collaboration is specifically scoped to small-molecule chemistry support and is designed to complement Resilience's internal scientific and development activities.

"This collaboration with Redwood aligns closely with RBI's long-term strategy of building an integrated translational platform focused on next-generation therapeutics for addiction, pain, and neuropsychiatric disorders," said Matthew Roberts, Chief Operations Advisor at Resilience Biosciences.

"This collaboration with Redwood is aimed at strengthening the scientific, operational, and drug development capabilities that support RBI's expanding portfolio of non-opioid therapeutic programs," stated Prof. Anthony Phillips, CEO at Resilience Biosciences.

The Company believes that AI-assisted chemistry workflows can play a meaningful role in accelerating early discovery work by helping teams generate and assess candidate structures, evaluate synthetic practicality, and better organize complex scientific inputs before downstream experimental and legal review.
