    <p>Objective: Network-based approaches emerged as powerful tools for studying complex diseases. Our intention in this article was to raise awareness of the benefits of new therapeutic strategy in biological networks context and provide an introduction to this topic.</p><p>Methods: This article will discuss the rational for network intervention, and outline some of the important aspects of deciphering targets activities in the network and future embodiments of network intervention. We also present examples of network intervention based on the strategies these approaches use.</p><p>Results: Network intervention seeks for target combinations to perturb a specific subset of nodes in disease networks to inhibit the bypass mechanisms at systems level. Experimental results derived from our studies are discussed, with conclusions that lead to future research directions. A simple diagram is designed to give a way to find the minimum number of external input required for a network intervention based on the graph theory and get the analytical value of the least input.</p><p>Conclusion: Creating network intervention that addresses blindness and unthinking action in this way could, therefore, provide more benefit than multi-target therapy. We hope that this article will give readers an appreciation for a new therapeutic strategy that has been proposed for improving clinical benefit by adopting network-based approaches as well as insight into their properties.</p

    Structural Analysis and Prediction of Hematotoxicity Using Deep Learning Approaches

    Hematotoxicity has been becoming a serious but overlooked toxicity in drug discovery. However, only a few in silico models have been reported for the prediction of hematotoxicity. In this study, we constructed a high-quality dataset comprising 759 hematotoxic compounds and 1623 nonhematotoxic compounds and then established a series of classification models based on a combination of seven machine learning (ML) algorithms and nine molecular representations. The results based on two data partitioning strategies and applicability domain (AD) analysis illustrate that the best prediction model based on Attentive FP yielded a balanced accuracy (BA) of 72.6%, an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 76.8% for the validation set, and a BA of 69.2%, an AUC of 75.9% for the test set. In addition, compared with existing filtering rules and models, our model achieved the highest BA value of 67.5% for the external validation set. Additionally, the shapley additive explanation (SHAP) and atom heatmap approaches were utilized to discover the important features and structural fragments related to hematotoxicity, which could offer helpful tips to detect undesired positive substances. Furthermore, matched molecular pair analysis (MMPA) and representative substructure derivation technique were employed to further characterize and investigate the transformation principles and distinctive structural features of hematotoxic chemicals. We believe that the novel graph-based deep learning algorithms and insightful interpretation presented in this study can be used as a trustworthy and effective tool to assess hematotoxicity in the development of new drugs

    ADME Properties Evaluation in Drug Discovery: Prediction of Caco‑2 Cell Permeability Using a Combination of NSGA-II and Boosting

    No full text
    The Caco-2 cell monolayer model is a popular surrogate in predicting the <i>in vitro</i> human intestinal permeability of a drug due to its morphological and functional similarity with human enterocytes. A quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) study was carried out to predict Caco-2 cell permeability of a large data set consisting of 1272 compounds. Four different methods including multivariate linear regression (MLR), partial least-squares (PLS), support vector machine (SVM) regression and Boosting were employed to build prediction models with 30 molecular descriptors selected by nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). The best Boosting model was obtained finally with <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.97, RMSE<sub>F</sub> = 0.12, <i>Q</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.83, RMSE<sub>CV</sub> = 0.31 for the training set and <i>R</i><sub>T</sub><sup>2</sup> = 0.81, RMSE<sub>T</sub> = 0.31 for the test set. A series of validation methods were used to assess the robustness and predictive ability of our model according to the OECD principles and then define its applicability domain. Compared with the reported QSAR/QSPR models about Caco-2 cell permeability, our model exhibits certain advantage in database size and prediction accuracy to some extent. Finally, we found that the polar volume, the hydrogen bond donor, the surface area and some other descriptors can influence the Caco-2 permeability to some extent. These results suggest that the proposed model is a good tool for predicting the permeability of drug candidates and to perform virtual screening in the early stage of drug development
