QSARs to Predict Extent of Drug Biotransformation in Humans Na’ngono Manga, Judith C. Duffy, Phil H. Rowe, Mark T.D. Cronin, School of Pharmacy and Chemistry Liverpool John Moores University
Introduction • Project failures mainly attributed to pharmacokinetic problems • Increasing effort placed into forecasting pharmacokinetic properties of drugs • Most work has focussed on absorption, transporters, metabolism enzymes and blood brain barrier
Aims of Study • To model extent of drug biotransformation in humans as a composite process, using urinary excretion of unchanged drug • To develop a transparent QSAR model in rational manner accepting non-linear nature of data
Methods • Source of Data • Training set: 160; Test set: 40 drugs • Molecular weight capped at 500 • Response data • Cumulative amount of unchanged drug excreted in the urineexpressed as percent of i.v. dose • Data categorised into low, medium, high • No boundary values assigned a priori
Methods • Physico-chemical properties calculated: • log P, pKa, log D • Structural and topological parameters • Molecular orbital (AM1) properties • Statistics: • Stepwise LDA • Recursive partitioning
Local Models of the Data • Drugs with log D6.5 > 0.3 removed • Attempt to build local models on remaining classified data: • 1- Low vs. high urinary excretion compounds • 2 - Low vs. medium • 3 - Medium vs. high
Low (< 10%) vs. High (> 75 %) Urinary Excretion W = 1.11 {7.07 + 27.7 Sacid + 21.7 SHBD – 23.6 SOH} – 17 SQ7 + 15.5
Modelling Whole Data Set Compounds with log D6.5 > 0.3 assumed to have low urinary excretion
Discriminant Function Developed for Drugs with log D6.5 < 0.3
Classifications from LDA were Subjected to Recursive Partitioning For compounds with W 47 satisfactory decision tree resulted: Urinary Excretion 38% if Total Energy > 15, or if HB < 2, or If –27919 < EE < -19320, OrIf IP < 8.96 or IP > 9.78 Otherwise Urinary Excretion > 38%
Decision Tree for Whole Data Set > 0.3 Log D6.5 Excretion < 25% > 47 Discriminant Function Excretion > 38% Recursive Partitioning Excretion 38% Excretion > 38%
Decision Level Decision Level Ratio of correct Ratio of correct Percentage Percentage Compounds misclassified as extensively metabolised Compounds misclassified as extensively metabolised Compounds misclassified as moderately/poorly metabolised Compounds misclassified as moderately/poorly metabolised Level 1 Level 1 70/73 compounds 70/73 compounds 95% 95% 3 3 0 0 Level 2 Level 2 31/36 31/36 86% 86% 0 0 5 5 Level3 Level3 45/51 45/51 88% 88% 5 5 1 1 Overall Overall 146/160 146/160 91% 91% 9 9 6 6 Classification and Validation Using Test Set
Discussion • Hybrid metabolism data can be modelled adequately • Model uses descriptors related to metabolism • Weakness in drugs with medium urinary excretion and drugs with long half-lives
