A Computational Approach for the Prediction of HIV Resistance Based on Amino Acid and Nucleotide Descriptors.

ABSTRACT: The high variability of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an important cause of HIV resistance to reverse transcriptase and protease inhibitors. There are many variants of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) that can be used to model sequence-resistance relationships. Machine learning methods are widely and successfully used in new drug discovery. An emerging body of data regarding the interactions of small drug-like molecules with their protein targets provides the possibility of building models on "structure-property" relationships and analyzing the performance of various machine-learning techniques. In our research, we analyze several different types of descriptors in order to predict the resistance of HIV reverse transcriptase and protease to the marketed antiretroviral drugs using the Random Forest approach. First, we represented amino acid sequences as a set of short peptide fragments, which included several amino acid residues. Second, we represented nucleotide sequences as a set of fragments, which included several nucleotides. We compared these two approaches using open data from the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database. We have determined the factors that modulate the performance of prediction: in particular, we observed that the prediction performance was more sensitive to certain drugs than a type of the descriptor used.

Project description:BackgroundPoor oral bioavailability is an important parameter accounting for the failure of the drug candidates. Approximately, 50% of developing drugs fail because of unfavorable oral bioavailability. In silico prediction of oral bioavailability (%F) based on physiochemical properties are highly needed. Although many computational models have been developed to predict oral bioavailability, their accuracy remains low with a significant number of false positives. In this study, we present an oral bioavailability model based on systems biological approach, using a machine learning algorithm coupled with an optimal discriminative set of physiochemical properties.ResultsThe models were developed based on computationally derived 247 physicochemical descriptors from 2279 molecules, among which 969, 605 and 705 molecules were corresponds to oral bioavailability, intestinal absorption (HIA) and caco-2 permeability data set, respectively. The partial least squares discriminate analysis showed 49 descriptors of HIA and 50 descriptors of caco-2 are the major contributing descriptors in classifying into groups. Of these descriptors, 47 descriptors were commonly associated to HIA and caco-2, which suggests to play a vital role in classifying oral bioavailability. To determine the best machine learning algorithm, 21 classifiers were compared using a bioavailability data set of 969 molecules with 47 descriptors. Each molecule in the data set was represented by a set of 47 physiochemical properties with the functional relevance labeled as (+bioavailability/-bioavailability) to indicate good-bioavailability/poor-bioavailability molecules. The best-performing algorithm was the logistic algorithm. The correlation based feature selection (CFS) algorithm was implemented, which confirms that these 47 descriptors are the fundamental descriptors for oral bioavailability prediction.ConclusionThe logistic algorithm with 47 selected descriptors correctly predicted the oral bioavailability, with a predictive accuracy of more than 71%. Overall, the method captures the fundamental molecular descriptors, that can be used as an entity to facilitate prediction of oral bioavailability.
