Virtual Screening of Pharmaceutical Compounds with hERG Inhibitory Activity (Cardiotoxicity) using Ensemble Learning
In silico prediction of cardiotoxicity with high sensitivity and specificity for potential drug molecules can be of immense value. Hence, building machine learning classification models, based on some features extracted from the molecular structure of drugs, which are capable of efficiently predicting cardiotoxicity is critical. In this paper, we consider the application of various machine learning approaches, and then propose an ensemble classifier for the prediction of molecular activity on a Drug Discovery Hackathon (DDH) (1st reference) dataset. We have used only 2-D descriptors of SMILE notations for our prediction. Our ensemble classification uses 5 classifiers (2 Random Forest Classifiers, 2 Support Vector Machines and a Dense Neural Network) and uses Max-Voting technique and Weighted-Average technique for final decision.

Virtual screening of DrugBank database for hERG blockers using topological Laplacian-assisted AI models
The human {\it ether-a-go-go} (hERG) potassium channel (K$_\text{v}11.1$) plays a critical role in mediating cardiac action potential. The blockade of this ion channel can potentially lead fatal disorder and/or long QT s…
Drug DiscoveryCardioGenAI: A Machine Learning-Based Framework for Re-Engineering Drugs for Reduced hERG Liability
The link between in vitro hERG ion channel inhibition and subsequent in vivo QT interval prolongation, a critical risk factor for the development of arrythmias such as Torsade de Pointes, is so well established that in v…
Drug DiscoveryToxicBlend: Virtual Screening of Toxic Compounds with Ensemble Predictors
Timely assessment of compound toxicity is one of the biggest challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry today. A significant proportion of compounds identified as potential leads are ultimately discarded due to the to…
Drug DiscoveryPredictionAPEX: Approximate-but-exhaustive search for ultra-large combinatorial synthesis libraries
Make-on-demand combinatorial synthesis libraries (CSLs) like Enamine REAL have significantly enabled drug discovery efforts. However, their large size presents a challenge for virtual screening, where the goal is to iden…
Drug DiscoveryToxTree: descriptor-based machine learning models for both hERG and Nav1.5 cardiotoxicity liability predictions
Drug-mediated blockade of the voltage-gated potassium channel(hERG) and the voltage-gated sodium channel (Nav1.5) can lead to severe cardiovascular complications. This rising concern has been reflected in the drug develo…
