RESUMO

Motivation: Current covalent docking tools have limitations that make them difficult to use for performing large-scale structure-based covalent virtual screening (VS). They require time-consuming tasks for the preparation of proteins and compounds (standardization, filtering according to the type of warheads), as well as for setting up covalent reactions. We have developed a toolkit to help accelerate drug discovery projects in the phases of hit identification by VS of ultra-large covalent libraries and hit expansion by exploration of the binding of known covalent compounds. With this application note, we offer the community a toolkit for performing automated covalent docking in a fast and efficient way. Results: The toolkit comprises a KNIME workflow for ligand preparation and a Python program to perform the covalent docking of ligands with the GOLD docking engine running in a parallelized fashion. Availability and implementation: The KNIME workflow entitled 'Evotec_Covalent_Processing_forGOLD.knwf' for the preparation of the ligands is available in the KNIME Hub https://hub.knime.com/emilie_pihan/spaces. Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics Advances online.

RESUMO

The technological advances of the past century, marked by the computer revolution and the advent of high-throughput screening technologies in drug discovery, opened the path to the computational analysis and visualization of bioactive molecules. For this purpose, it became necessary to represent molecules in a syntax that would be readable by computers and understandable by scientists of various fields. A large number of chemical representations have been developed over the years, their numerosity being due to the fast development of computers and the complexity of producing a representation that encompasses all structural and chemical characteristics. We present here some of the most popular electronic molecular and macromolecular representations used in drug discovery, many of which are based on graph representations. Furthermore, we describe applications of these representations in AI-driven drug discovery. Our aim is to provide a brief guide on structural representations that are essential to the practice of AI in drug discovery. This review serves as a guide for researchers who have little experience with the handling of chemical representations and plan to work on applications at the interface of these fields.

RESUMO

In recent years, the development of high-throughput screening (HTS) technologies and their establishment in an industrialized environment have given scientists the possibility to test millions of molecules and profile them against a multitude of biological targets in a short period of time, generating data in a much faster pace and with a higher quality than before. Besides the structure activity data from traditional bioassays, more complex assays such as transcriptomics profiling or imaging have also been established as routine profiling experiments thanks to the advancement of Next Generation Sequencing or automated microscopy technologies. In industrial pharmaceutical research, these technologies are typically established in conjunction with automated platforms in order to enable efficient handling of screening collections of thousands to millions of compounds. To exploit the ever-growing amount of data that are generated by these approaches, computational techniques are constantly evolving. In this regard, artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning and machine learning methods play a key role in cheminformatics and bio-image analytics fields to address activity prediction, scaffold hopping, de novo molecule design, reaction/retrosynthesis predictions, or high content screening analysis. Herein we summarize the current state of analyzing large-scale compound data in industrial pharmaceutical research and describe the impact it has had on the drug discovery process over the last two decades, with a specific focus on deep-learning technologies.

RESUMO

A significant challenge in high-throughput screening (HTS) campaigns is the identification of assay technology interference compounds. A Compound Interfering with an Assay Technology (CIAT) gives false readouts in many assays. CIATs are often considered viable hits and investigated in follow-up studies, thus impeding research and wasting resources. In this study, we developed a machine-learning (ML) model to predict CIATs for three assay technologies. The model was trained on known CIATs and non-CIATs (NCIATs) identified in artefact assays and described by their 2D structural descriptors. Usual methods identifying CIATs are based on statistical analysis of historical primary screening data and do not consider experimental assays identifying CIATs. Our results show successful prediction of CIATs for existing and novel compounds and provide a complementary and wider set of predicted CIATs compared to BSF, a published structure-independent model, and to the PAINS substructural filters. Our analysis is an example of how well-curated datasets can provide powerful predictive models despite their relatively small size.
