| Metabolism | CYP2C19-inh | PKCSM | Active | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | CYP2C19 inhibitor: Cytochrome P450 substrate 2C19 isoform: The prediction is based on molecular properties (Molecular Weight; Heavy Atom count; LogP; Heteroatoms count; Rotatable Bonds count; Ring count; TPSA; Labute ASA; Fluorine atom Count; Toxicophore [1-36]; Pharmacophore count) calculated using the RDKit cheminformatics toolkit and used for training the predictive models. Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). Cytochrome P450 is an important detoxification enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver. It oxidises xenobiotics to facilitate their excretion. Many drugs are deactivated by the cytochrome P450’s, and some can be activated by it. Inhibitors of this enzyme, such as grapefruit juice, can affect drug metabolism and are contraindicated. It is therefore important to assess a compound’s ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450. Model for CYP2C19 inhibitor was built using from over 14576 compounds whose ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450 2C19 has been determined. A compound is considered to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor if the concentration required to lead to 50% inhibition is less than 10 uM. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: The predictors will assess a given molecule to determine whether it is likely going to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, for a given isoform. | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). The Intestine is normally the primary site for absorption of a drug from an orally administered solution. This method is built to predict the proportion of compounds that were absorbed through the human small intestine. How to interpret the results: For a given compound it predicts the percentage that will be absorbed through the human intestine. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based on train/test approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. The Human Intestinal Absorption (HIA) model is based on 552 drug information. How to interpret the results: For a given compound it predicts the percentage that will be absorbed through the human intestine. | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

A compound was assigned as a CYP inhibitor if the AC50 (the compound concentration leads to 50% of the activity of an inhibition control) value was 10 μM, and it was considered as a noninhibitor if AC50 was >57 μM. In addition, a compound was regarded as a CYP inhibitor if it has the PubChem activity score between 40 and 100, and as a noninhibitor if it has PubChem activity score equal to 0. Three subgroups of CYP substrates were collected by Carbon-Mangles et al., including 2d6, 2c9, and 3a4.[2] The models were built by by MACCS fingerprints and Support vector machine. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

This method is built to predict the proportion of compounds that were absorbed through the human small intestine. The entire dataset were collected from Shen et al. (2010), which included 578 compounds (500 HIA+ and 78 HIA- compounds). How to interpret the results: For a given compound it predicts the percentage that will be absorbed through the human intestine. If a compound with the HIA% is less than 30%, it is labeled as -, otherwise it is labeled as Active. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

For those endpoints predicted by the regression models concrete predictive values are provided. To obtain robust and accurate prediction models, the model training process was repeated ten times with random data splitting.

The inhibitor of P-glycoprotein. The P-glycoprotein, also known as MDR1 or 2 ABCB1, is a membrane protein member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters superfamily. It is probably the most promiscuous efflux transporter, since it recognizes a number of structurally different and apparently unrelated xenobiotics; notably, many of them are also CYP3A4 substrates. This model is based on 2209 (1315/894) Total molecules, 1764 (1051/713) in the training set, 222 (132/90) test set, and 223 (132/91) validation set drug like molecules. Leave-cluster-out validation of classification models was used for model validation.

Based on the chemical nature of biotransformation, the process of drug metabolism reactions can be divided into two broad categories: phase I (oxidative reactions) and phase II (conjugative reactions). The human cytochrome P450 family (phase I enzymes) contains 57 isozymes and these isozymes metabolize approximately two-thirds of known drugs in human with 80% of this attribute to five isozymes––1A2, 3A4, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6. Most of these CYPs responsible for phase I reactions are concentrated in the liver. This model is based on 12635 (5876 positive /6759 negative) Total molecules, with 10111 (4702/5425) in the training set, 1261 (588/673) test set, and 1263 (586/677) validation set drug like molecules. Leave-cluster-out validation of classification models was used for model validation. How to interpret: Category 0: Non-substrate / Non-inhibitor; Category 1: substrate / inhibitor. The output value is the probability of being substrate / inhibitor, within the range of 0 to 1. Empirical decision: If the prediction >= 0.5 the endpoint is considered “active”.

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). The cytochrome P450’s are responsible for metabolism of many drugs. However inhibitors of the P450’s can dramatically alter the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. It is therefore important to assess whether a given compound is likely to be a cytochrome P450 substrate. The two main isoforms responsible for drug metabolism are 2D6 and 3A4. These models were built using 671 compounds whose metabolism by each cytochrome P450 isoform has been measured. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models How to interpret the results: The predictor will assess whether a given molecule is likely to be metabolized by either P450. Qualitative information were changed: "Yes" was replaced to "Active" and "No" prediction was replaced to "-". | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

| Metabolism | HLM | vNN-ADMET | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | HLM: Human liver microsomal stability. The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is widely used to develop QSAR models (Zheng and Tropsha, 2000). An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. The human liver is the most important organ for drug metabolism. For a drug to achieve effective therapeutic concentrations in the body, it cannot be metabolized too rapidly by the liver. Otherwise, it would need to be administered at high doses, which are associated with high toxicity. To identify and exclude rapidly metabolized compounds (Di et al., 2003), pharmaceutical companies commonly use the human liver microsomal (HLM) stability assay. This has led to the accumulation of a substantial body of HLM stability data in publicly accessible databases. However, our knowledge of how enzymes in the HLM assay metabolize drugs remains fragmentary. Therefore, we examined whether the vNN method could effectively predict drugs that are rapidly metabolized by the liver. We retrieved HLM data from the ChEMBL database (Bento et al., 2014), manually curated the data, and classified compounds as stable or unstable based on the reported half-life [T1/2 > 30 min was considered stable, and T1/2 < 30 min unstable (Liu et al., 2015)]. The final dataset contained 3,219 compounds. Of these, we classified 2,047 as stable and 1,166 as unstable. The HLM model performed with an overall accuracy of 81%; sensitivity and specificity values of 71 and 87%, respectively; and a high kappa value of 0.60. The HLM model reliably predicted 91% of the compounds in the HLM dataset when using 10-fold CV. Results were adapted and the “Yes” and “No” indicators were changed respectively to “Active” and “-“. | doi: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00889. | |

The prediction is based on Multi-task Graph Attention (MGA) framework MGA is composed of input, Relation graph convolution network (RGCN) layers, attention layer and fully-connected (FC) layers. In the Input, a node represents the information of an atom, and after passing RGCN layers, the node represents general features of circular substructure centered on the atom. RGCN is an extension of the standard graph convolution network (GCN) by introducing edge features to enrich the messages used to update the hidden states in the network. Attention layers can assign different attention weights to different substructures, and then generate the customized fingerprints (CFP) from the general features for a specific task. The prediction results are mainly displayed in the tabular format in the browser, with the 2D molecular structure and a radar plot summarizing the physicochemical quality of the compound. For those endpoints predicted by the regression models concrete predictive values are provided. To obtain robust and accurate prediction models, the model training process was repeated ten times with random data splitting. The best performing models were incorporated into the online platform, and different performance measures for the training test regression model: R-square (R2) of 0.934, mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.140, and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.105. Madin−Darby Canine Kidney cells (MDCK) have been developed as an in vitro model for permeability screening. Its apparent permeability coefficient, Papp, is widely considered to be the in vitro gold standard for assessing the uptake efficiency of chemicals into the body. Papp values of MDCK cell lines are also used to estimate the effect of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This model is based on 1140 Total molecules (positive/Negative), with 912 in the training set (positive/Negative), 114 test set (positive/Negative), and 114 validation set (positive/Negative) drug like molecules with MDCK permeability values and predicts the logarithm of the apparent permeability coefficient (log Papp; log cm/s). How to interpret: The unit of predicted MDCK permeability is cm/s. A compound is considered to have a high passive MDCK permeability for a Papp > 20 x 10-6 cm/s, medium permeability for 2-20 x 10-6cm/s, low permeability for < 2 x 10-6cm/s. Empirical decision: >2 x 10-6cm/s: excellent (green), otherwise: poor (red). | doi: 10.1093/nar/gkab255 | |

The models return “Yes” or “No” if the molecule under investigation has higher probability to be respectively inhibitor or non-inhibitor of a given CYP. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of proteins that play an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics (Brown et al., 2008). A drug should not be rapidly metabolized by CYPs if it is to maintain an effective concentration. In addition, it should not inhibit drug-metabolizing CYPs, because such an effect could elevate the concentration of a co-administered drug and potentially lead to drug overdose—an effect known as a drug-drug interaction.

| Transporter | Pgp Inhibitor | vNN-ADMET | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | Pgp inhibitors: P-glycoprotein inhibitors. The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is widely used to develop QSAR models (Zheng and Tropsha, 2000). An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an essential cell membrane protein that extracts many foreign substances from the cell (Ambudkar et al., 2003). As such, it is a critical determinant of the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. Cancer cells often overexpress Pgp, which increases the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from the cell and prevents treatment by reducing the effective intracellular concentrations of such agents—a phenomenon known as multidrug resistance (Borst and Elferink, 2002). For this reason, identifying compounds that can either be transported out of the cell by Pgp (substrates) or impair Pgp function (inhibitors) is of great interest. vNN method based on dataset included 1,319 inhibitors and 937 non-inhibitors. We classified the Pgp inhibitors and non-inhibitors as positives and negatives, espectively. Overall accuracy of 85%, when using 10-fold CV, with corresponding kappa value of 0.66. These models reliably predicted 76% of the compounds in their datasets to be Pgp inhibitors.

| Transporter | MATE1-inh | ADMETSAR | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | MATE1 is an apically expressed poly-specific proton antiporter which mediates the efflux of diverse substrates, primarily organic cations, in the kidney and the liver. Following its relatively recent discovery, MATE1 has rapidly emerged as an important transporter in the renal and biliary excretion of endogenous and exogenous organic cations, particularly metformin. It appears that clinical inhibitors of organic cation transporters (OCTs) are also potent inhibitors of MATEs, and therefore modulation of the activity of both OCTs and MATEs, or predominantly of MATEs, may better describe DDIs currently ascribed to OCTs. The major focus of investigation for MATE1 has been on its role in renal drug disposition and elimination, notably on the renal elimination of metformin and the renal toxicity of cisplatin. Various studies of the impact of functional gene polymorphisms of MATE1, MATE2K, OCT1, and OCT2 on metformin pharmacokinetics, efficacy and safety, as well as preclinical assessments in Mate1 knockout mice, imply a significant role for these transporters. The recent FDA regulatory guideline now recommends evaluation of MATE1-mediated drug interactions for NCEs that undergo significant renal elimination. The human multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE) transporter 1 contributes to the tissue distribution and excretion of many drugs. Inhibition of MATE1 may result in potential drug–drug interactions (DDIs) and alterations in drug exposure and accumulation in various tissues. In total 80 inhibitors and 738 non inhibitors were collected and the model was built by SubFP and random forest. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). Cytochrome P450 is an important detoxification enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver. It oxidises xenobiotics to facilitate their excretion. Many drugs are deactivated by the cytochrome P450’s, and some can be activated by it. Inhibitors of this enzyme, such as grapefruit juice, can affect drug metabolism and are contraindicated. It is therefore important to assess a compound’s ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450. Model for CYP1A2 inhibitor was built using from over 14903 compounds whose ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450 1A2 has been determined. A compound is considered to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor if the concentration required to lead to 50% inhibition is less than 10 uM. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models.

| Transporter | BSEP-inh | ADMETSAR | Active | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | ABCB11, more commonly referred to as BSEP (Bile Salt Export Pump) is a uni-directional, ATP-dependent efflux transporter that plays an important role in the elimination of bile salts from the hepatocyte into the bile canaliculi for export into the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). It is almost exclusively expressed in the liver, with much lower levels reported in the kidney. It is mainly of relevance to hepatotoxicity, as BSEP inhibition by a drug and/or its metabolites can result in the buildup of bile salts in the liver, which can lead to cholestasis and drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Compared to other drug transporters there are only few identified drug substrates and inhibitors of BSEP; thus, its involvement in drug-drug interactions (DDI) is very limited. The relevance of in vitro BSEP inhibition as a predictor of clinical outcomes is not clearly established, but whenever cholestatic liver injury is observed in clinical or preclinical trials, characterization of BSEP interactions should be considered. In contrast with the FDA guidance, the EMA guidance recommends consideration of in vitro BSEP inhibition testing for NCEs. In total 317 inhibitors and 290 noninhibitors were collected and the model was built by AtomParis and Support vector machine. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). The cytochrome P450’s are responsible for metabolism of many drugs. However inhibitors of the P450’s can dramatically alter the pharmacokinetics of these drugs. It is therefore important to assess whether a given compound is likely to be a cytochrome P450 substrate. The two main isoforms responsible for drug metabolism are 2D6 and 3A4. These models were built using 671 compounds whose metabolism by each cytochrome P450 isoform has been measured. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models How to interpret the results: The predictor will assess whether a given molecule is likely to be metabolized by either P450.

CACO-2: Before an oral drug reaches the systemic circulation, it must pass through intestinal cell membranes via passive diffusion, carrier-mediated uptake or active transport processes. The human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines (Caco-2), as an alternative approach for the human intestinal epithelium, has been commonly used to estimate in vivo drug permeability due to their morphological and functional similarities.

| Excretion | T1/2 | VEGA | 6.7764 | h | This study addresses the development of QSAR models for the prediction of total body elimination half-lives. The first aim of this work is the creation of statistically valid and predictive models for the prediction of half-lives in human; the second aim is to show how QSAR predictions can be used for the refinement of chemical screening procedures for hazard assessment. kT (h-1) rate was converted to normalized biotransformation half-life value (HLT, h), and then expressed in base 10 log units LogHLT. The dataset was taken from literature (J.A. Arnot, T.N. Brown, F. Wania, Estimating screening-level organic chemical half-lives in human. Environ Sci Technol. 2014; 48:723-730) The HL dataset consists of the union of several datasets to obtain a variety of discrete organic chemical structures with a range of HL values. The final data set is composed of 1105 chemicals with molar mass ranging from 30 (formaldehyde) to 960 (decabromodiphenyl ether) g/mol. The HLs span approximately 7.5 orders of magnitude from 0.05 h (0.002d) for nitroglycerin to 2 × 106 h (83 000 d) for 2,3,4,5,2′,3′,5′,6′-octachlorobiphenyl with a median of 7.6 h (0.32 d). The corresponding rate constants range from 14/h (330/d) to 3.5 × 10–7/h (8.3 × 10–6)/d with a median of 0.091/h (2.2/d). Eighty percent of the chemicals in the HLT QSAR data set are pharmaceuticals (measured HLT) and 20% are environmental contaminants (estimated or assumed to approximate HLT). The range of LogHLTare -1.30 / 6.30 for the training set and -1.08 / 5.83 for the test set. After successful validation, the model has been retrained on the entire dataset for implementation. Dataset was splitted in training (552) and test set (553). For more details see section 6.6 and 7.6 of QMRF. LogHLT (total elimination half-life in human) OLS-MLR method.

| Transporter | Pgp substrate | vNN-ADMET | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | Pgp substrates: P-glycoprotein substrates. The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is widely used to develop QSAR models (Zheng and Tropsha, 2000). An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is an essential cell membrane protein that extracts many foreign substances from the cell (Ambudkar et al., 2003). As such, it is a critical determinant of the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. Cancer cells often overexpress Pgp, which increases the efflux of chemotherapeutic agents from the cell and prevents treatment by reducing the effective intracellular concentrations of such agents—a phenomenon known as multidrug resistance (Borst and Elferink, 2002). For this reason, identifying compounds that can either be transported out of the cell by Pgp (substrates) or impair Pgp function (inhibitors) is of great interest. vNN method is based on dataset included measurements for 422 substrates and 400 non-substrates. We classified the Pgp substrates and non-substrates as positives and negatives, respectively. Overall accuracy of 79%, when using 10-fold CV, with corresponding kappa value of 0.58. These model reliably predicted 65% of the compounds in their datasets to be Pgp substrates. | doi: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00889. | |

In the Input, a node represents the information of an atom, and after passing RGCN layers, the node represents general features of circular substructure centered on the atom. RGCN is an extension of the standard graph convolution network (GCN) by introducing edge features to enrich the messages used to update the hidden states in the network. Attention layers can assign different attention weights to different substructures, and then generate the customized fingerprints (CFP) from the general features for a specific task. The prediction results are mainly displayed in the tabular format in the browser, with the 2D molecular structure and a radar plot summarizing the physicochemical quality of the compound. For those endpoints predicted by the regression models concrete predictive values are provided. To obtain robust and accurate prediction models, the model training process was repeated ten times with random data splitting. The best performing models were incorporated into the online platform, and different performance of classification models in training and validation sets: AUC: 0.967, ACC: 0.904, SP: 0.911, Sen: 0.894, MCC: 0.801. Based on the chemical nature of biotransformation, the process of drug metabolism reactions can be divided into two broad categories: phase I (oxidative reactions) and phase II (conjugative reactions). The human cytochrome P450 family (phase I enzymes) contains 57 isozymes and these isozymes metabolize approximately two-thirds of known drugs in human with 80% of this attribute to five isozymes––1A2, 3A4, 2C9, 2C19 and 2D6. Most of these CYPs responsible for phase I reactions are concentrated in the liver. This model is based on 811 (325/486) Total molecules, with 647 (259/388) in the training set, 82 (33/49) test set, and 82 (33/49) validation set drug like molecules. Leave-cluster-out validation of classification models was used for model validation. How to interpret: Category 0: Non-substrate / Non-inhibitor; Category 1: substrate / inhibitor.

Volume Distribution. The VD is a theoretical concept that connects the administered dose with the actual initial concentration present in the circulation and it is an important parameter to describe the in vivo distribution for drugs. In practical, we can speculate the distribution characters for an unknown compound according to its VD value, such as its condition binding to plasma protein, its distribution amount in body fluid and its uptake amount in tissues. This model is based on 1086 Total molecules, with 872 in the training set, 107 test set, and 107 validation set drug like molecules.

| Transporter | OATP1B3-inh | ADMETSAR | Active | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | OATP1B3 is an uptake transporter exclusively expressed in the liver on the sinusoidal (basolateral) side of centrilobular hepatocytes. In conjunction with OATP1B1, it is responsible for the hepatic uptake of some important drug classes, notably statins, for the uptake of bile acids (in conjunction with OATP1B1 and NTCP) and bilirubin, as well as some other endogenous molecules. It is a mediator of drug interactions, but as it shares many substrates and inhibitors with another major hepatic uptake transporter, OATP1B1, its role may not be fully appreciated. The FDA and EMA recommend in vitro testing of OATP1B3 interactions for drug candidates that are eliminated in part via the liver and/or will be co-administered with OATP1B3 substrates. OATP1B3i was trained by 1743 inhibitors and 130 noninhibitors with Morgan fingerprint and random forest. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

In similar contexts, SVM was found to perform better than other machine-learning algorithms for binary classification (Mishra et al. 2010). The models return “Yes” or “No” if the molecule under investigation has higher probability to be respectively inhibitor or non-inhibitor of a given CYP. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of proteins that play an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics (Brown et al., 2008). A drug should not be rapidly metabolized by CYPs if it is to maintain an effective concentration. In addition, it should not inhibit drug-metabolizing CYPs, because such an effect could elevate the concentration of a co-administered drug and potentially lead to drug overdose—an effect known as a drug-drug interaction.

| Transporter | OCT1-inh | ADMETSAR | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | OCT1 is primarily a hepatic uptake transporter, expressed on the sinusoidal membrane (blood side) of hepatocytes. It plays a key role in the disposition and hepatic clearance of mostly cationic drugs and endogenous compounds. It functions in conjunction with MATE1 that facilitates the biliary elimination of OCT1 substrates transported into the liver. Metformin is an important clinical substrate of OCT1. Genetic polymorphisms of OCT1 are associated with altered metformin pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy, but the contributions of other cation transporters and their functional SNPs are also important. Since the discovery of MATEs, DDIs ascribed to OCTs are being re-evaluated, and it is likely that some interactions may be re-assigned to MATEs. Regardless of this, the role of OCT1 as the first step in active hepatic extraction of cationic drugs remains important. Current FDA and EMA guidances do not specifically recommend evaluation of OCT1 liabilities, although investigation of OCT2 or OCTs in general is advised. It is appropriate to consider evaluating OCT1 interactions for drugs that are likely to be co-administered with OCT/MATE substrates, particularly metformin. Although there is no guidance for MATEs either, simultaneous evaluation of their interactions is also advisable. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). Organic Cation Transporter 2 is a renal uptake transporter that plays an important role in disposition and renal clearance of drugs and endogenous compounds. OCT2 substrates also have the potential for adverse interactions with coadministered OCT2 inhibitors. Assessing a candidate’s potential to be transported by OCT2 provides useful information regarding not only its clearance but potential contraindications. This model was built using 906 compounds whose transport by OCT2 has been experimentally measured. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: The predictor will assess whether a given molecule is likely to be an OCT2 substrate. Qualitative information were changed: "Yes" was replaced to "Active" and "No" prediction was replaced to "-". | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

The prediction is based on molecular properties (Molecular Weight; Heavy Atom count; LogP; Heteroatoms count; Rotatable Bonds count; Ring count; TPSA; Labute ASA; Fluorine atom Count; Toxicophore [1-36]; Pharmacophore count) calculated using the RDKit cheminformatics toolkit and used for training the predictive models. Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). Measuring blood brain permeability can difficult with confounding factors. The blood-brain permeability-surface area product (logPS) is a more direct measurement. It is obtained from in situ brain perfusions with the compound directly injected into the carotid artery. This lacks the systemic distribution effects which may distort brain penetration. This predictive model was built using 153 compounds whose logPS has been experimentally measured. PS (measured in the unit mL/min/g brain). [PS = −F ln(1 – (Kin/F))] where F is the cerebral blood or perfusion flow rate and Kin is the unidirectional transfer constant.

An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of proteins that play an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics (Brown et al., 2008). A drug should not be rapidly metabolized by CYPs if it is to maintain an effective concentration. In addition, it should not inhibit drug-metabolizing CYPs, because such an effect could elevate the concentration of a co-administered drug and potentially lead to drug overdose—an effect known as a drug-drug interaction.

The prediction is based on Multi-task Graph Attention (MGA) framework MGA is composed of input, Relation graph convolution network (RGCN) layers, attention layer and fully-connected (FC) layers. In the Input, a node represents the information of an atom, and after passing RGCN layers, the node represents general features of circular substructure centered on the atom. RGCN is an extension of the standard graph convolution network (GCN) by introducing edge features to enrich the messages used to update the hidden states in the network. Attention layers can assign different attention weights to different substructures, and then generate the customized fingerprints (CFP) from the general features for a specific task.

For those endpoints predicted by the regression models concrete predictive values are provided. To obtain robust and accurate prediction models, the model training process was repeated ten times with random data splitting.

Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). The brain is protected from exogenous compounds by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The ability of a drug to cross into the brain is an important parameter to consider to help reduce side effects and toxicities or to improve the efficacy of drugs whose pharmacological activity is within the brain. Blood-brain permeability is measured in vivo in animal models as logBB, the logarithmic ratio of brain to plasma drug concentrations. LogBB = log (C brain/ C blood). This predictive model was built using 320 compounds whose logBB has been experimentally measured. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 10-fold cv. approach.

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). Cytochrome P450 is an important detoxification enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver. It oxidises xenobiotics to facilitate their excretion. Many drugs are deactivated by the cytochrome P450’s, and some can be activated by it. Inhibitors of this enzyme, such as grapefruit juice, can affect drug metabolism and are contraindicated. It is therefore important to assess a compound’s ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450.

A compound is considered to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor if the concentration required to lead to 50% inhibition is less than 10 uM. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: The predictors will assess a given molecule to determine whether it is likely going to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, for a given isoform.

The Support Vector Machin (SVM) method (SVM) Cortes, C. & Vapnik, V. (1995) on meticulously cleansed large datasets of known inhibitors/non-inhibitors. In similar contexts, SVM was found to perform better than other machine-learning algorithms for binary classification (Mishra et al. 2010). The models return “Yes” or “No” if the molecule under investigation has higher probability to be respectively inhibitor or non-inhibitor of a given CYP.

Key-endpoint to predict the bioaccumulation and the pharmacokinetics in humans and animals, since other organ: blood affinities can be estimated as a function of this parameter. 101 in vivo data of Kab measured in rats retrieved from one review and several paper in literature ([5]-[10]) The dataset contains mono-constituent organic chemicals belonging to different categories and uses: drugs, plant protection products, polychlorinated biphenyls, volatile organic compounds. All chemicals’ names were converted in SMILES using the CIR and REST node of KNIME v 3.5.1; CAS were retrieved form ChemIDplus and PubChem. Consistence among the CAS numbers, the chemical names and chemical structures of all substances were checked. All structures were standardized and normalized. All duplicates were removed. The experimental data (in vivo tissue: plasma partition coefficients) were converted in adipose tissue: blood partition coefficient by dividing the partition coefficients determined in plasma by the blood-to-plasma ration. Due to the lack of experimental values of the blood-to-plasma ratio, we considered this value equal to 0.55 for acid drugs and equal to 1 for the remaining chemicals. All the values of KAB were changed to their base-10 logarithms. Dataset were split into training (63) and test (38) according to three criteria: 1) The covered range of the experimental activity 2) The chemical structures representativeness (using PCA on Padel descriptors) 3) A balanced distribution between training and test set chemicals with respect to their ionisation state.

| Transporter | BRCP-inh | ADMETSAR | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | ABCG2, more commonly referred to as BCRP (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein), is an efflux transporter that serves two major drug transport functions. Firstly, it restricts the distribution of its substrates into organs such as the brain, testes, placenta, and across the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Secondly, it eliminates its substrates from excretory organs, mediating both biliary and renal excretion, and occasionally direct gut secretion. Although less well studied than e.g. MDR1, BCRP is generally co-expressed with MDR1, and shares many of its substrates, inhibitors and inducers. Of its known substrates, rosuvastatin has been implicated in DDI, especially with perpetrator drugs that also inhibit OATPs (e.g. cyclosporine). It is probable that a synergy exists between the action of BCRP, MDR1, and the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP3A4, particularly in the GIT. BCRP is included in the list of important drug transporters that both the FDA and EMA consider necessary to investigate regarding liabilities for NCEs. Drugs whose ADME, and bioavailability in particular, is influenced by BCRP may require clinical investigation to reveal a potential DDI with potent clinical BCRP inhibitors. For instance, since the GIT absorption of rosuvastatin is modulated by BCRP, it may be necessary to study the impact of BCRP inhibitors on the oral absorption of rosuvastatin. Because of the potential synergy between BCRP, CYP3A4, and MDR1, a clinical investigation examining the contribution of both drug transporters and enzymes to drug ADME may be necessary. In total 432 inhibitors and 538 noninhibitors were collected and the model was built by AtomPairs fingerprint and Support vector machine. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

The prediction is based on molecular properties (Molecular Weight; Heavy Atom count; LogP; Heteroatoms count; Rotatable Bonds count; Ring count; TPSA; Labute ASA; Fluorine atom Count; Toxicophore [1-36]; Pharmacophore count) calculated using the RDKit cheminformatics toolkit and used for training the predictive models. Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). The steady state volume of distribution (VDss) is the theoretical volume that the total dose of a drug would need to be uniformly distributed to give the same concentration as in blood plasma. The higher the VD is, the more of a drug is distributed in tissue rather than plasma. It can be affected by renal failure and dehydration. This predictive model was built using the calculated steady state volume of distribution (VDss) in humans from 670 drugs. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based on Leave-one-out cv and Train/test approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. The predicted logarithm of VDss of a given compound is given as the log L/kg. How to interpret the results: VDss is considered low if below 0.71 L/kg (log VDss < -0.15) and high if above 2.81 L/kg (log VDss > 0.45). | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |
| Transporter | OATP1B1-inh | ADMETSAR | Active | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | OATP1B1 is an uptake transporter exclusively expressed on the sinusoidal side of hepatocytes. It is responsible for the hepatic uptake of drugs and endogenous compounds from the blood. OATP1B1 substrates often, but by no means always, contain a carboxylic acid moiety. Some important therapeutic drugs, most notably HMG-CoA inhibitors also known as statins, are substrates and/or inhibitors of OATP1B1. Inhibition of OATP1B1 can result in supra-proportional systemic exposure of the victim drug. This is particularly important for members of the statin class of medicines, where elevated blood concentrations due to inhibition of hepatic uptake can result in myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Complex drug interactions involving OATP1B1, other uptake and efflux transporters, and drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) have been described, as have clinically important genetic polymorphisms, resulting in label recommendations, dose adjustments, and product withdrawals. The FDA and EMA recommend in vitro testing of OATP1B1 interactions for drug candidates that are eliminated in part via the liver and/or will be co-administered with OATP1B1 substrates .OATP1B1i was trained by 1657 inhibitors and 198 noninhibitors with Morgan fingerprint and support vector machine. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | |

The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based on 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. The P-glycoprotein is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. It functions as a biological barrier by extruding toxins and xenobiotics out of cells. P-glycoprotein transport screening is performed using transgenic mdr knockout mice and in vitro cell systems. This model was built using 332 compounds that have been characterized for their ability to be transported by Pgp. How to interpret the results: The model predicts whether a given compound is likely to be a substrate of Pgp or not. | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of proteins that play an important role in the metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics (Brown et al., 2008). A drug should not be rapidly metabolized by CYPs if it is to maintain an effective concentration. In addition, it should not inhibit drug-metabolizing CYPs, because such an effect could elevate the concentration of a co-administered drug and potentially lead to drug overdose—an effect known as a drug-drug interaction.

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). Cytochrome P450 is an important detoxification enzyme in the body, mainly found in the liver. It oxidises xenobiotics to facilitate their excretion. Many drugs are deactivated by the cytochrome P450’s, and some can be activated by it. Inhibitors of this enzyme, such as grapefruit juice, can affect drug metabolism and are contraindicated. It is therefore important to assess a compound’s ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450. Model for CYP2D6 inhibitor was built using from over 14741 compounds whose ability to inhibit the cytochrome P450 2D6 has been determined. A compound is considered to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor if the concentration required to lead to 50% inhibition is less than 10 uM. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: The predictors will assess a given molecule to determine whether it is likely going to be a cytochrome P450 inhibitor, for a given isoform.

This model is based on 674 drug like molecules with Caco-2 permeability values and predicts the logarithm of the apparent permeability coefficient (log Papp; log cm/s). How to interpret: A compound is considered to have a high Caco-2 permeability if it has a Papp > 8 x 10-6 cm/s.

| Transporter | OCT2-inh | ADMETSAR | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | OCT2 is a primarily renal uptake transporter that is expressed on the basolateral (blood) side of proximal tubule cells. It plays a key role in the disposition and renal clearance of mostly cationic drugs and endogenous compounds. It functions in conjunction with MATE1 and MATE2-K which facilitate the elimination of OCT2 substrates into the urine. Important clinical substrates include metformin and cisplatin. Gene polymorphisms of OCT2 are associated with altered metformin and cisplatin pharmacokinetics and toxicity, but the role of other cation transporters, and their functional SNPs are also important. Since the discovery of MATEs, DDIs ascribed to OCT2 are being re-evaluated, and it is likely that some interactions may be re-assigned to MATEs. Regardless of this, the role of OCT2 as the first step in active renal secretion of cationic drugs remains important. Current FDA and EMA guidelines recommend evaluation of OCT2 liabilities for drugs with high renal elimination, or which are likely to be co-administered with OCT2 substrates such as metformin. Simultaneous evaluation of MATE interactions is also advisable. In total 244 inhibitors and 633 noninhibitors were collected and the model was built by MACCS fingerprint and random forest. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 |

The antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway plays an important role in the amelioration of oxidative stress. The CellSensor ARE-bla HepG2 cell line (Invitrogen) can be used for analyzing the Nrf2/antioxidant response signaling pathway. Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2) and Nrf1 are transcription factors that bind to AREs and activate these genes. Traditional multitask graph neural network (GNN) methods usually handle homogeneous tasks, such as pure regression or classification tasks. However, in ADMET prediction, both regression tasks and classification tasks are needed. Therefore, a multi-task graph attention (MGA) framework was used to simultaneously learn the regression and classification tasks for ADMET predictions in this study.

However, in ADMET prediction, both regression tasks and classification tasks are needed. Therefore, a multi-task graph attention (MGA) framework was used to simultaneously learn the regression and classification tasks for ADMET predictions in this study. Result interpretation: Category 1: actives ; Category 0: inactives. The output value is the probability of being actives within the range of 0 to 1. Empirical decision: If the prediction is upper or equal to 0.5 the molecules is considered as “Active”. If not the molecules is noted “-“. | doi: 10.1093/nar/gkab255 | ||

An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. We developed a cytotoxicity prediction model, using a training dataset of in vitro toxicity against HepG2 cells for 6,097 structurally diverse compounds, which we collected from Chemical European Biology Laboratory (ChEMBL) (Bento et al., 2014). In developing our model, we considered compounds with an IC50 of 10 μM or less in the in vitro assay as cytotoxic. We classified cytotoxic compounds as positives and non-toxic compounds as negatives. The cytotoxicity model performed well, with an overall accuracy of 84% and a kappa value of 0.64. Because compounds in the dataset achieved only sparse coverage of the chemical space, the model only predicted compounds that were well represented in the dataset.

In the Input, a node represents the information of an atom, and after passing RGCN layers, the node represents general features of circular substructure centered on the atom. RGCN is an extension of the standard graph convolution network (GCN) by introducing edge features to enrich the messages used to update the hidden states in the network. Attention layers can assign different attention weights to different substructures, and then generate the customized fingerprints (CFP) from the general features for a specific task. The prediction results are mainly displayed in the tabular format in the browser, with the 2D molecular structure and a radar plot summarizing the physicochemical quality of the compound. For those endpoints predicted by the regression models concrete predictive values are provided. To obtain robust and accurate prediction models, the model training process was repeated ten times with random data splitting. The best performing models were incorporated into the online platform, and different performance of classification models in training and validation sets: AUC: 0.869, ACC: 0.787, SP: 0.766, Sen: 0.810, MCC: 0.575.

We considered only data referring to 90 days of oral administration in rats and rejected reproductive toxicity studies. It is to be noted that the exchange of the 90-day study by shorter testing is an attractive alternative. Taking into account this circumstance, values for 28 days of treatment were considered but, in order to have consistent data, they were divided by a factor of 3, as specified by the scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) in order to approximate the 90-day NOAEL. After the above selection, about four hundreds of various substances with small molecules (e.g., 2–3 atoms) and vice versa with extremely large molecules (e.g., 100 or more atoms), molecules with specific groups, such as [N+], [NH4+], [nH], etc., and substances with molecules containing many various cycles / heterocycles were remained. Under such circumstances, the following limitations were used in the selection of compounds for the work set: (i) too large and, vice versa, too small molecules were removed (practically, molecules which can be represented by SMILES with length less than 70 and larger than 10 symbols, were selected); (ii) molecules which have only one cycles or have no cycles at all were selected; and (iii) molecules with special groups (indicated by square brackets) were removed from the work set.

Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). It is important to consider the toxic potency of a potential compound. The lethal dosage values (LD50) are a standard measurement of acute toxicity used to assess the relative toxicity of different molecules. The LD50 is the amount of a compound given all at once that causes the death of 50% of a group of test animals.

| Endocrine Disruption | PPARg | ADMETLAB2 | - | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | PPAR-gamma: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are lipid-activated transcription factors of the nuclear receptor superfamily with three distinct subtypes namely PPAR alpha, PPAR delta (also called PPAR beta) and PPAR gamma (PPARg). All these subtypes heterodimerize with Retinoid X receptor (RXR) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. PPAR-gamma receptor (glitazone receptor) is involved in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Traditional multitask graph neural network (GNN) methods usually handle homogeneous tasks, such as pure regression or classification tasks. However, in ADMET prediction, both regression tasks and classification tasks are needed. Therefore, a multi-task graph attention (MGA) framework was used to simultaneously learn the regression and classification tasks for ADMET predictions in this study. Result interpretation: Category 1: actives ; Category 0: inactives. The output value is the probability of being actives within the range of 0 to 1.

| Human toxicology | MRTD | vNN-ADMET | 7.4 | mg/Kg of bw /day | MRTD: maximum recommended therapeutic dose (MRTD). The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is widely used to develop QSAR models (Zheng and Tropsha, 2000). An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. Maximum recommended therapeutic dose: A basic principle of toxicology is that “the dose makes the poison.” For most drugs, the therapeutic dose is limited by toxicity, and the maximum recommended therapeutic dose (MRTD) is an estimated upper daily dose that is safe (Contrera et al., 2004). Investigators carry out toxicological experiments on animals to determine the toxic effects of a drug and the initial dose for human clinical trials. Unfortunately, there is a lack of correlation between animal and human toxicity data. Therefore, we investigated whether the vNN method could predict the MRTD values of new compounds based on known human MRTD data. If so, the values could be used to estimate the starting dose in phase I clinical trials, while significantly reducing the number of animals used in preliminary toxicology studies. Maximum Recommended Therapeutic Dose: MRTD values publically disclosed by the FDA, mostly of single-day oral doses for an average adult with a body weight of 60 kg, for 1,220 compounds (most of which are small organic drugs). For modeling purposes we converted the MRTD unit from mg/kg-body weight/day to mol/kg-body weight/day via the molecular weight of the compound. However, the predicted values on the website are reported in mg/day based upon an average adult weighing 60 kg. We used an external test set of 160 compounds, which was collected by the FDA for validation. The total dataset for our model contained 1,184 compounds (Liu et al., 2012). The MRTD model reliably predicted 69% of the FDA MRTD dataset, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient (R) of 0.79 between the predicted and measured log(MRTD) values, and a mean deviation (mDev) of 0.56 log units, using 40-fold CV (Liu et al., 2012). To facilitate the comparison between tool predictions, the data expressed in mg/day for an adult of 60 kg were transformed in mg/Kg of BW/day. | doi: 10.3389/fphar.2017.00889. | ||

As cancer cells divide rapidly and during every cell division they need to duplicate their genome by DNA replication. The failure to do so results in the cancer cell death. Based on this concept, many chemotherapeutic agents were developed but have limitations such as low efficacy and severe side effects etc. Enhanced Level of Genome Instability Gene 1 (ELG1; human ATAD5) protein levels increase in response to various types of DNA damage. Traditional multitask graph neural network (GNN) methods usually handle homogeneous tasks, such as pure regression or classification tasks. However, in ADMET prediction, both regression tasks and classification tasks are needed. Therefore, a multi-task graph attention (MGA) framework was used to simultaneously learn the regression and classification tasks for ADMET predictions in this study. Result interpretation: Category 1: actives ; Category 0: inactives. The output value is the probability of being actives within the range of 0 to 1. Empirical decision: If the prediction is upper or equal to 0.5 the molecules is considered as “Active”. If not the molecules is noted “-“. | doi: 10.1093/nar/gkab255 | |

All the datasets were collected from Tox21 and random under-sampling technique was used to achieve a balanced dataset for model training. A multi-label model was developped by combining the best single-label model of each target and the resulting model can be used to distinguish whether certain endocrine disrupting chemicals can simultaneously modulate multiple receptors related to ED. Finally, all the binary models and multi-label model were respectively evaluated by corresponding single-label test sets and a multi-label test set with reasonable reliability. | DOI: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bty707 | ||

| Organ toxicology | Hepatotoxicity | DILI | vNN-ADMET | Active | Active/"-" = Inactive/Not predicted | DILI: The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) method is widely used to develop QSAR models (Zheng and Tropsha, 2000). An alternative approach is to use a predetermined similarity criterion, vNN method, which uses all nearest neighbors that meet a structural similarity criterion to define the model's applicability domain (Liu et al., 2012, 2015; Liu and Wallqvist, 2014). When no nearest neighbor meets the criterion, the vNN method makes no prediction. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been one of the most commonly cited reason for drug withdrawals from the market. This application predicts whether a compound could cause DILI. The dataset of 1,431 compounds was obtained from four sources used by Xu et al. This dataset contains both pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals; Prediction classified a compound as causing DILI if it was associated with a high risk of DILI and not if there was no such risk.

Two different algorithms, Random Forest and Logistic Regression, did the qualitative predictions (classification tasks). The Ames test is a widely employed method to assess a compounds mutagenic potential using bacteria. A positive test indicates that the compound is mutagenic and therefore may act as a carcinogen. This predictive model was built on the results of over 8445 compounds Ames tests. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 5-fold cv approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: It predicts whether a given compound is likely to be Ames positive and hence mutagenic. | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 | |

Two different algorithms, Gaussian Processes and Model Tree Regression did the quantitative predictions (regression tasks). The maximum recommended tolerated dose (MRTD) provides an estimate of the toxic dose threshold of chemicals in humans. The model is trained using 1222 experimental data points from human clinical trials and predicts the logarithm of the MRTD (log mg/kg/day). This will help guide the maximum recommended starting dose for pharmaceuticals in phase I clinical trials, which are currently based on extrapolations from animal data. The best performing predictor in each task was chosen based 10-fold CV approach. The Weka toolkit was used for training and testing the models. How to interpret the results: For a given compound, a MRTD of less than or equal to 0.477 log(mg/kg/day) is considered low, and high if greater than 0.477 log(mg/kg/day). To facilitate the comparison between tool predictions, the data expressed in log(mg/kg/day) were transformed in mg/Kg of BW/day. | doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.5b00104 |
