Abstract

Early in silico assessment of the potential of a series of compounds to deliver a drug is one of the major challenges in computer-assisted drug design. The goal is to identify the right chemical series of compounds out of a large chemical space to then subsequently prioritize the molecules with the highest potential to become a drug. Although multiple approaches to assess compounds have been developed over decades, the quality of these predictors is often not good enough and compounds that agree with the respective estimates are not necessarily druglike. Here, we report a novel deep learning approach that leverages large-scale predictions of ∼100 ADMET assays to assess the potential of a compound to become a relevant drug candidate. The resulting score, which we termed bPK score, substantially outperforms previous approaches and showed strong discriminative performance on data sets where previous approaches did not.
