Follow up: Compound data sets and software tools for chemoinformatics and medicinal chemistry applications: update and data transfer.

ABSTRACT: In 2012, we reported 30 compound data sets and/or programs developed in our laboratory in a data article and made them freely available to the scientific community to support chemoinformatics and computational medicinal chemistry applications. These data sets and computational tools were provided for download from our website. Since publication of this data article, we have generated 13 new data sets with which we further extend our collection of publicly available data and tools. Due to changes in web servers and website architectures, data accessibility has recently been limited at times. Therefore, we have also transferred our data sets and tools to a public repository to ensure full and stable accessibility. To aid in data selection, we have classified the data sets according to scientific subject areas. Herein, we describe new data sets, introduce the data organization scheme, summarize the database content and provide detailed access information in ZENODO (doi: 10.5281/zenodo.8451 and doi:10.5281/zenodo.8455).

Project description:Background:For evaluating the fate of xenobiotics in the environment, a variety of degradation or environmental metabolism experiments are routinely conducted. The data generated in such experiments are evaluated by optimizing the parameters of kinetic models in a way that the model simulation fits the data. No comparison of the main software tools currently in use has been published to date. This article shows a comparison of numerical results as well as an overall, somewhat subjective comparison based on a scoring system using a set of criteria. The scoring was separately performed for two types of uses. Uses of type I are routine evaluations involving standard kinetic models and up to three metabolites in a single compartment. Evaluations involving non-standard model components, more than three metabolites or more than a single compartment belong to use type II. For use type I, usability is most important, while the flexibility of the model definition is most important for use type II. Results:Test datasets were assembled that can be used to compare the numerical results for different software tools. These datasets can also be used to ensure that no unintended or erroneous behaviour is introduced in newer versions. In the comparison of numerical results, good agreement between the parameter estimates was observed for datasets with up to three metabolites. For the now unmaintained reference software DegKinManager/ModelMaker, and for OpenModel which is still under development, user options were identified that should be taken care of in order to obtain results that are as reliable as possible. Based on the scoring system mentioned above, the software tools gmkin, KinGUII and CAKE received the best scores for use type I. Out of the 15 software packages compared with respect to use type II, again gmkin and KinGUII were the first two, followed by the script based tool mkin, which is the technical basis for gmkin, and by OpenModel. Conclusions:Based on the evaluation using the system of criteria mentioned above and the comparison of numerical results for the suite of test datasets, the software tools gmkin, KinGUII and CAKE are recommended for use type I, and gmkin and KinGUII for use type II. For users that prefer to work with scripts instead of graphical user interfaces, mkin is recommended. For future software evaluations, it is recommended to include a measure for the total time that a typical user needs for a kinetic evaluation into the scoring scheme. It is the hope of the authors that the publication of test data, source code and overall rankings foster the evolution of useful and reliable software in the field.
