ADME/Tox models 15 yrs on: Then & Now• Datasets very small < 100 cpds• Heavy focus on P450• Models rarely used • Very limited number of
properties addressed• Few tools / agorithms used• Limited access to models
• Much bigger datasets > 1000s cpds >10,000
• Broader range of models• Models more widely used and
reported• More accessible models• Pharma making data available
70 hERG models (Villoutreix and
Taboroureau 2015) 19 protein binding models
(Lambrinidis et al 2015) 40 BBB models upto 2009
The Opportunity
•Get pharmas to use open source molecular descriptors and algorithms
•Benefit from initial work done by Pfizer/CDD
•Avoid repetition of open source tools vs commercial tools comparisons
•Change the mindset from real data to virtual data – confirm predictions
•ADME/Tox is precompetitive
•Expand the chemical space and predictivity of models
•Share models with collaborators – Companies could share data as models

The big idea (2009)
Challenge..There is limited access to ADME/Tox
data and models needed for R&D
How could a company share data but keep the
structures proprietary?
Sharing models means both parties use costly
software
What about open source tools?
Pfizer had never considered this - So we proposed a
study and Rishi Gupta generated models

• What can be developed with very large training and test sets?
• HLM training 50,000 testing 25,000 molecules
• training 194,000 and testing 39,000
• MDCK training 25,000 testing 25,000
• MDR training 25,000 testing 18,400
• Open molecular descriptors / models vs commercial descriptors
• Examples – Metabolic Stability

Overlap in Chemistry space
• Examples – P-gp

Open source descriptors CDK and C5.0 algorithm
~60,000 molecules with P-gp efflux data from Pfizer
MDR <2.5 (low risk) (N = 14,175) MDR > 2.5 (high risk) (N = 10,820)
Test set MDR <2.5 (N = 10,441) > 2.5 (N = 7972)

How do we share them?
How do we use Them?
Open Extended Connectivity Fingerprints
ECFP_6 FCFP_6• Collected,
deduplicated, hashed
• Sparse integers
• Invented for Pipeline Pilot: public method, proprietary details
• Often used with Bayesian models: many published papers
• Built a new implementation: open source, Java, CDK– stable: fingerprints don't change with each new toolkit release
– well defined: easy to document precise steps
– easy to port: already migrated to iOS (Objective-C) for TB Mobile app
• Provides core basis feature for CDD open source model serviceClark et al., J Cheminform 6:38 2014

Machine Learning – Different tools• Models generated using : molecular
function class fingerprints of maximum
diameter 6 (FCFP_6), AlogP, molecular
weight, number of rotatable bonds,
number of rings, number of aromatic
rings, number of hydrogen bond
acceptors, number of hydrogen bond
donors, and molecular fractional polar
surface area.
• Models were validated using five-fold
cross validation (leave out 20% of the
database).
• Bayesian, Support Vector Machine and
Recursive Partitioning Forest and single
tree models built.
• RP Forest and RP Single Tree models
used the standard protocol in Discovery
Studio.
• 5-fold cross validation or leave out 50%
x 100 fold cross validation was used to
calculate the ROC for the models

Summary and Next Steps
• Shown that open source models/ descriptors comparable to previously published models with commercial software
• Implemented Bayesian machine learning in CDD Vault• Can be used on private or public data• Can enable sharing of models in CDD Vault• Enabled export of models – can use models in 3rd part mobile apps or
other tools• Demonstrated various ADME/Tox models and transporters
• Additional work with Dr. Joel Freundlich and Dr Alex Perryman on microsomal stability models
• Provide more information on models and predictions• Visualize training set molecules vs test compounds• Use a model to predict compounds and then test them
