Project description:Organic synthesis remains a major challenge in drug discovery. Although a plethora of machine learning models have been proposed as solutions in the literature, they suffer from being opaque black-boxes. It is neither clear if the models are making correct predictions because they inferred the salient chemistry, nor is it clear which training data they are relying on to reach a prediction. This opaqueness hinders both model developers and users. In this paper, we quantitatively interpret the Molecular Transformer, the state-of-the-art model for reaction prediction. We develop a framework to attribute predicted reaction outcomes both to specific parts of reactants, and to reactions in the training set. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to retrieve evidence for predicted reaction outcomes, and understand counterintuitive predictions by scrutinising the data. Additionally, we identify Clever Hans predictions where the correct prediction is reached for the wrong reason due to dataset bias. We present a new debiased dataset that provides a more realistic assessment of model performance, which we propose as the new standard benchmark for comparing reaction prediction models.

Project description:Increasing age is a risk factor for many diseases; therefore developing pharmacological interventions that slow down ageing and consequently postpone the onset of many age-related diseases is highly desirable. In this work we analyse data from the DrugAge database, which contains chemical compounds and their effect on the lifespan of model organisms. Predictive models were built using the machine learning method random forests to predict whether or not a chemical compound will increase Caenorhabditis elegans' lifespan, using as features Gene Ontology (GO) terms annotated for proteins targeted by the compounds and chemical descriptors calculated from each compound's chemical structure. The model with the best predictive accuracy used both biological and chemical features, achieving a prediction accuracy of 80%. The top 20 most important GO terms include those related to mitochondrial processes, to enzymatic and immunological processes, and terms related to metabolic and transport processes. We applied our best model to predict compounds which are more likely to increase C. elegans' lifespan in the DGIdb database, where the effect of the compounds on an organism's lifespan is unknown. The top hit compounds can be broadly divided into four groups: compounds affecting mitochondria, compounds for cancer treatment, anti-inflammatories, and compounds for gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapies.

Project description:Different types of chemicals and products may exhibit various health risks when administered into the human body. For toxicity reasons, the number of new drugs entering the market through the conventional drug development process has been reduced over the years. However, with the advent of big data and artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques have emerged as a potential solution for predicting toxicity and ensuring efficient drug development and chemical safety. An ML model for toxicity prediction can reduce experimental costs and time while addressing ethical concerns by drastically reducing the need for animals and clinical trials. Herein, MolToxPred, an ML-based tool, has been developed using a stacked model approach to predict the potential toxicity of small molecules and metabolites. The stacked model consists of random forest, multi-layer perceptron, and LightGBM as base classifiers and Logistic Regression as the meta classifier. For training and validation purposes, a comprehensive set of toxic and non-toxic molecules is curated. Different structural and physicochemical-based features in the form of molecular descriptors and fingerprints were employed. MolToxPred utilizes a comprehensive feature selection process and optimizes its hyperparameters through Bayesian optimization with stratified 5-fold cross-validation. In the evaluation phase, MolToxPred achieved an AUROC of 87.76% on the test set and 88.84% on an external validation set. The McNemar test was used as the post-hoc test to determine if the stacked models' performance was significantly different compared to the base learners. The developed stacked model outperformed its base classifiers and an existing tool in the literature, reaffirming its better performance. The hypothesis is that the incorporation of a diverse set of data, the subsequent feature selection, and a stacked ensemble approach give MolToxPred the edge over other methods. In addition to this, an attempt has been made to identify structural alerts responsible for endpoints of the Tox21 data to determine the association of a molecule with a plausible downstream pathway of action. MolToxPred may be helpful for drug discovery and regulatory pipelines in pharmaceutical and other industries for in silico toxicity prediction of small molecule candidates.

Project description:The structure of genetic interaction networks predicts that, analogous to synthetic lethal interactions between non-essential genes, combinations of compounds with latent activities may exhibit potent synergism. To test this hypothesis, we generated a chemical-genetic matrix of 195 diverse yeast deletion strains treated with 4,915 compounds. This approach uncovered 1,221 genotype-specific inhibitors, which we termed cryptagens. Synergism between 8,128 structurally disparate cryptagen pairs was assessed experimentally and used to benchmark predictive algorithms. A model based on the chemical-genetic matrix and the genetic interaction network failed to accurately predict synergism. However, a combined random forest and Naive Bayesian learner that associated chemical structural features with genotype-specific growth inhibition had strong predictive power. This approach identified previously unknown compound combinations that exhibited species-selective toxicity toward human fungal pathogens. This work demonstrates that machine learning methods trained on unbiased chemical-genetic interaction data may be widely applicable for the discovery of synergistic combinations in different species.

Project description:Neurotoxicity is one of the main causes of drug withdrawal, and the biological experimental methods of detecting neurotoxic toxicity are time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the existing computational prediction models of neurotoxicity still have some shortcomings. In response to these shortcomings, we collected a large number of data set of neurotoxicity and used PyBioMed molecular descriptors and eight machine learning algorithms to construct regression prediction models of chemical neurotoxicity. Through the cross-validation and test set validation of the models, it was found that the extra-trees regressor model had the best predictive effect on neurotoxicity ([Formula: see text] = 0.784). In addition, we get the applicability domain of the models by calculating the standard deviation distance and the lever distance of the training set. We also found that some molecular descriptors are closely related to neurotoxicity by calculating the contribution of the molecular descriptors to the models. Considering the accuracy of the regression models, we recommend using the extra-trees regressor model to predict the chemical autonomic neurotoxicity.

Project description:Machine learning has been extensively applied in small molecule analysis to predict a wide range of molecular properties and processes including mass spectrometry fragmentation or chromatographic retention time. However, current approaches for retention time prediction lack sufficient accuracy due to limited available experimental data. Here we introduce the METLIN small molecule retention time (SMRT) dataset, an experimentally acquired reverse-phase chromatography retention time dataset covering up to 80,038 small molecules. To demonstrate the utility of this dataset, we deployed a deep learning model for retention time prediction applied to small molecule annotation. Results showed that in 70[Formula: see text] of the cases, the correct molecular identity was ranked among the top 3 candidates based on their predicted retention time. We anticipate that this dataset will enable the community to apply machine learning or first principles strategies to generate better models for retention time prediction.

Project description:BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a globally prevalent disease closely associated with hypertension. To date, no predictive model for OSA-related hypertension has been established. We aimed to use machine learning (ML) to construct a model to analyze risk factors and predict OSA-related hypertension.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively collected the clinical data of OSA patients diagnosed by polysomnography from October 2019 to December 2021 and randomly divided them into training and validation sets. A total of 1,493 OSA patients with 27 variables were included. Independent risk factors for the risk of OSA-related hypertension were screened by the multifactorial logistic regression models. Six ML algorithms, including the logistic regression (LR), the gradient boosting machine (GBM), the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), bootstrapped aggregating (Bagging), and the multilayer perceptron (MLP), were used to develop the model on the training set. The validation set was used to tune the model hyperparameters to determine the final prediction model. We compared the accuracy and discrimination of the models to identify the best machine learning algorithm for predicting OSA-related hypertension. In addition, a web-based tool was developed to promote its clinical application. We used permutation importance and Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) to determine the importance of the selected features and interpret the ML models.ResultsA total of 18 variables were selected for the models. The GBM model achieved the most extraordinary discriminatory ability (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.873, accuracy = 0.885, sensitivity = 0.713), and on the basis of this model, an online tool was built to help clinicians optimize OSA-related hypertension patient diagnosis. Finally, age, family history of hypertension, minimum arterial oxygen saturation, body mass index, and percentage of time of SaO2 < 90% were revealed by the SHAP method as the top five critical variables contributing to the diagnosis of OSA-related hypertension.ConclusionWe established a risk prediction model for OSA-related hypertension patients using the ML method and demonstrated that among the six ML models, the gradient boosting machine model performs best. This prediction model could help to identify high-risk OSA-related hypertension patients, provide early and individualized diagnoses and treatment plans, protect patients from the serious consequences of OSA-related hypertension, and minimize the burden on society.
