Class imbalance learning with Bayesian optimization applied in drug discovery.

ABSTRACT: Machine intelligence (MI), including machine learning and deep learning, have been regarded as promising methods to reduce the prohibitively high cost of drug development. However, a dilemma within MI has limited its wide application: machine learning models are easier to interpret but yield worse predictive performance than deep learning models. Therefore, we propose a pipeline called Class Imbalance Learning with Bayesian Optimization (CILBO) to improve the performance of machine learning models in drug discovery. To demonstrate the efficacy of the CILBO pipeline, we developed an example model to predict antibacterial candidates. Comparison of the antibacterial prediction performance between our model and a well-known deep learning model published by Stokes et al. suggests that our model can perform as well as the deep learning model in drug activity prediction. The CILBO pipeline we propose provides a simple, alternative approach to accelerate preliminary screenings and decrease the cost of drug discovery.

Project description:Different experiments of differing fidelities are commonly used in the search for new drug molecules. In classic experimental funnels, libraries of molecules undergo sequential rounds of virtual, coarse, and refined experimental screenings, with each level balanced between the cost of experiments and the number of molecules screened. Bayesian optimization offers an alternative approach, using iterative experiments to locate optimal molecules with fewer experiments than large-scale screening, but without the ability to weigh the costs and benefits of different types of experiments. In this work, we combine the multifidelity approach of the experimental funnel with Bayesian optimization to search for drug molecules iteratively, taking full advantage of different types of experiments, their costs, and the quality of the data they produce. We first demonstrate the utility of the multifidelity Bayesian optimization (MF-BO) approach on a series of drug targets with data reported in ChEMBL, emphasizing what properties of the chemical search space result in substantial acceleration with MF-BO. Then we integrate the MF-BO experiment selection algorithm into an autonomous molecular discovery platform to illustrate the prospective search for new histone deacetylase inhibitors using docking scores, single-point percent inhibitions, and dose-response IC50 values as low-, medium-, and high-fidelity experiments. A chemical search space with appropriate diversity and fidelity correlation for use with MF-BO was constructed with a genetic generative algorithm. The MF-BO integrated platform then docked more than 3,500 molecules, automatically synthesized and screened more than 120 molecules for percent inhibition, and selected a handful of molecules for manual evaluation at the highest fidelity. Many of the molecules screened have never been reported in any capacity. At the end of the search, several new histone deacetylase inhibitors were found with submicromolar inhibition, free of problematic hydroxamate moieties that constrain the use of current inhibitors.
