Additive Dose Response Models: Defining Synergy.


ABSTRACT: In synergy studies, one focuses on compound combinations that promise a synergistic or antagonistic effect. With the help of high-throughput techniques, a huge amount of compound combinations can be screened and filtered for suitable candidates for a more detailed analysis. Those promising candidates are chosen based on the deviance between a measured response and an expected non-interactive response. A non-interactive response is based on a principle of no interaction, such as Loewe Additivity or Bliss Independence. In a previous study, we introduced, an explicit formulation of the hitherto implicitly defined Loewe Additivity, the so-called Explicit Mean Equation. In the current study we show that this Explicit Mean Equation outperforms the original implicit formulation of Loewe Additivity and Bliss Independence when measuring synergy in terms of the deviance between measured and expected response, called the lack-of-fit. Further, we show that computing synergy as lack-of-fit outperforms a parametric approach. We show this on two datasets of compound combinations that are categorized into synergistic, non-interactive, and antagonistic.
