Drug Design with Artificial Intelligence Methods

  • Reference work entry

Definition of theSubject

Drug design and development represents a complex andexpensive process that is based on the creative application ofscientific results from various disciplines, including genomics,chemistry, biology, computational chemistry, pharmacology,toxicology, and clinical studies. The average cost of bringinga new drug to market is currently around US$800 million,with a large part of the cost coming from chemicalcompounds that fail in different stages ofdevelopment. Computational simulation of biochemical processesmay guide the drug discovery process through reliable in silicomodels of biochemical properties (aqueous solubility,octanol‐water partition, intestinal absorption,blood‐brain barrier transport, excretion), prediction ofenzyme‐ligand interactions, simulations of cells, tissuesand organisms. In this chapter we review the most importantapplications of artificial intelligence instructure‐activity relationships (SAR) and quantitativestructure‐activity relationships...

Ant colony optimization:

Ant colony optimization (ACO) is an agent‐based algorithm procedure inspired by the function of ant colonies and the ants search for the optimum path to food sources. The virtual agents are called artificial ants or ants, and the optimization problem is represented as a trial and error search for the optimum path on a weighted graph. The pheromone that is deposited by ants on the trail is represented as weights for graph components (vertices or edges). Each ant generates a solution by moving on the graph and by selecting the next step based on the pheromone level. The pheromone level is updated after each cycle (when all ants found a solution) by adding a pheromone quantity proportional to the quality of the solutions to which it belongs.

Antigen:

An antigen is a molecule (chemical compound, protein or polysaccharide) that induces an immune response. Each pathogen contains specific antigens that are recognized by the immune system. The antigen region that is recognized by the immune system is called an epitope.

Antibody:

An antibody (or immunoglobulin) is a protein used by the immune system to identify bacteria, viruses and other pathogens or foreign molecules. The antibody region that binds antigens is extremely variable, thus allowing the immune system to recognize a large diversity of pathogens. The ability to recognize antigens is improved through successive cycles of antigen presentation, antibody cloning, and hypermutation of the variable region of the antibody.

Artificial immune systems:

Artificial immune systems (AIS) represent a class of optimization algorithms inspired by the components and mechanisms of the biological immune system. AIS simulate the learning and memory capabilities of the immune system to develop computational algorithms for pattern recognition, function optimization, classification, process control, and intrusion detection.

Genetic algorithms:

Genetic algorithms (GA) solve high‐dimensional problems through a Darwinian evolution of a population of individuals, in which each individual (chromosome) represents a possible solution. Depending on the type of the optimization problem, chromosomes may represent the solution in a binary, continuous, or hybrid encoding. Each chromosome has a fitness value that measures the quality of the solution. A population of parents evolves to a generation of children by crossover and mutation.

Particle swarm optimization:

Swarm intelligence (SI) represents a group of distributed intelligence algorithms that solve optimization problems by applying processes inspired by swarming, herding, and flocking of various species. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) simulates the swarming behaviors observed in swarms of bees, flocks of birds, or schools of fish. PSO considers a swarm of particles that start from a random position and have a random velocity. At each step a particle moves to a new position that is determined by its own experience (the best past position) and by the memory of the best particle in the swarm. PSO may be applied to both binary and continuous optimization problems, and its main strength is a fast convergence.

Quantitative structure‐activity relationships:

Quantitative structure‐activity relationships (QSAR ) represent regression models that define quantitative correlations between the chemical structure of molecules and their physical properties (boiling point, melting point, aqueous solubility), chemical properties and reactivities (chromatographic retention, reaction rate), or biological activities (cell growth inhibition, enzyme inhibition, lethal dose). The fundamental hypotheses of QSAR are that similar chemicals have similar properties, and that small structural changes result in small changes in property values. The general form of a QSAR equation is \( { P(i)=f(\mathbf{SD}_{i}) } \), where P(i) is a physical, chemical, or biological property of compound i, \( { \mathbf{SD}_{i} } \) is a vector of structural descriptors of i, and f is a mathematical function such as linear regression, partial least squares, artificial neural networks, or support vector machines. A QSAR model for a property P is based on a dataset of chemical compounds with known values for the property P, and a matrix of structural descriptors computed for all chemicals. The learning (training) of the QSAR model is the process of determining the optimum parameters of the regression function f. After the training phase, a QSAR model may be used to predict the property P for novel compounds that are not present in the learning set of molecules.

Structural descriptor:

A structural descriptor (SD) is a numerical value computed from the chemical structure of a molecule, which is invariant to the numbering of the atoms in the molecule. Structural descriptors may be classified as constitutional (counts of molecular fragments, such as rings, functional groups, or atom pairs), topological indices (computed from the molecular graph), geometrical (volume, surface, charged‐surface), quantum (atomic charges, energies of molecular orbitals), and molecular field (such as those used in CoMFA, CoMSIA, or CoRSA).

Structure‐activity relationships:

Structure‐activity relationships (SAR ) represent classification models that can discriminate between sets of chemicals that belong to different classes of biological activities, usually active/inactive towards a certain biological receptor. The general form of a SAR equation is \( { C(i)= f(\mathbf{SD}_{i}) } \), where C(i) is the activity class of compound i (active/inactive, inhibitor/non‐inhibitor, ligand/non‐ligand), \( { \mathbf{SD}_{i} } \) is a vector of structural descriptors of i, and f is a classification function such as k‑nearest neighbors, linear discriminant analysis, random trees, random forests, Bayesian networks, artificial neural networks, or support vector machines.
