Hybrid Improved Grey Wolf Support Vector Regression Algorithm for Modeling Solubilities of APIs in Pure Ionic Liquids: σ-Profile Descriptors.

The objective of this study was to model the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in different ionic liquids (ILs) based on the σ-moments of cations, anions, and APIs that were used as molecular descriptors calculated using the σ-profiles of three categories of descriptors based on conductor-like screening model for real solvents. The database of 83 API-ILs systems composed of 14 APIs, 12 cations, and 7 anions (25 ILs combinations) was collected as 850 data points at different temperature ranges. A hybrid Improved Grey Wolf Support vector regression, abbreviated as I-GWO-SVR(r), algorithm was selected as the learning method. Based on a comprehensive comparison with 11 different models, various statistical factors, and graphical analyses, including an external validation test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and sensitivity analysis, the capability and validity of the proposed approach have been assessed and verified. The overall study confirmed that the proposed new model provided the best results in terms of predicting the solubility of APIs in ILs.

QSPR Modelling of the Solubility of Drug and Drug-like Compounds in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide.

Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling was investigated to predict drug and drug-like compounds solubility in supercritical carbon dioxide. A dataset of 148 drug\drug-like compounds, accounting for 3971 experimental data points (EDPs), was collected and used for modelling the relationship between selected molecular descriptors and solubility fraction data achieved by a nonlinear approach (Artificial neural network, ANN) based on molecular descriptors. Experimental solubility data for a given drug were published as a function of temperature and pressure. In the present study, 11 significant PaDEL descriptors (AATS3v, MATS2e, GATS4c, GATS3v, GATS4e, GATS3 s, nBondsM, AVP-0, SHBd, MLogP, and MLFER_S), the temperature and the pressure were statistically proved to be sufficient inputs. The architecture of the optimized model was found to be {13,10,1}. Several statistical metrics, including average absolute relative deviation (AARD=3.7748 %), root mean square error (RMSE=0.5162), coefficient of correlation (r=0.9761), coefficient of determination (R2 =0.9528), and robustise (Q2 =0.9528) were used to validate the obtained model. The model was also subjected to an external test by using 143 EDPs. Sensitivity analysis and domain of application were examined. The overall results confirmed that the optimized ANN-QSPR model is suitable for the correlation and prediction of this property.
