We can combine Perturbation Theory (PT) and Machine Learning (ML) model to seek PTML models useful to explore the effect over drug activity of changes or (perturbations) in multiple parameters or experimental conditions cj. This include changes in drug chemical structure or assay conditions like c0 = the biological parameter used (Ki, IC50, etc.), c1 = drug target, c2 = organism of assay, c3 = cell line, etc. In this work used PTML techniques to explore the Big Data set of >800000 preclinical assays of drugs. These assays reported in CheMBL involved drugs targeting proteins related to G-protein signaling pathways. The data set included 343,738 drugs, 185 experimental parameters, 56 organisms of assay, 52 cellular lines, 592 target proteins. The model predicted correctly 85.4% of control cases (Specificity) and 95.8% of active compounds in training series (Sensitivity). The model also predicted correctly 95.8% and 85.4% cases in external validation series.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
