Abstract
Inflammation is a biological resistant response to harmful stimuli, such as infection, damaged cells, toxic chemicals, or tissue injuries. Inflammation eradicates pathogenic microorganisms or irritants and facilitates tissue repair. Prolonged inflammation can result in chronic inflammatory diseases. In the last decade, peptide therapeutics have gained significant attention due to their high specificity in targeting affected cells without affecting healthy cells. Motivated by the significance of peptide-based therapies, Anti-inflammatory peptides (AIPs) related models have become increasingly popular due to their significant characteristics. The systematic experimental identifying methods for AIPs deals with various problems of the existing in-vitro methods. Hence, to develop an accurate and reliable prediction of AIPs, numerous computational models have been developed. These models demonstrate high diversity in their datasets, feature representation, feature selection, model training, and evaluation methods. In this study, we conducted an extensive survey of the existing models for discriminating AIPs and point out the differences between these approaches. We evaluate the prediction results of the models based on independent tests and AUC values. Moreover, we emphasize the challenges and prospects in this field, paving the way for developing more effective prediction models that can enhance the predictive outcomes in predicting AIPs.
