PharmaMiner Analysis of 3D arrangements of pharmacophoric features in compound collections Flexible definition of features of interest (donor, acceptor, hydrophobic core, etc.) Classification and clustering of arrangements
Applications of PharmaMiner • What makes compounds active against a target? • Develop pharmacophore models based on results • What features impart specific biological activity (e.g., BBB permeability)? • Screen compounds for specific arrangements • Query for combination of properties and arrangements • Diversity analysis in 3D space • Scaffold hopping
Key Benefits • Only automatic tool that analyzes the 3D space of pharmacophores • Identification of activity against a target based on a set of actives and inactives (clustering) • Unique exploration of the pharmacophore space through biological activity (classification) • Unique querying for proximity and distance from clusters • Specification of toxicity, absorption, side-effects
Validation Studies Activity prediction of cancer datasets
Pharmacophoric Features: Cancer Datasets • Cations • Anions • Hydrogen Bond Donors • Hydrogen Bond Acceptors • Hydrophobic Centers • Aromatic Rings
Results: Cancer Datasets • Many clusters show significant behavior • Examples of some positive clusters
Results: Cancer Datasets • Clusters involving anions show strong negative significance: • However, typically Acceptor-Acceptor-Anion clusters also contained a positive cluster indicating a certain structure that occurs frequently in active molecules
Prediction Pipeline Extract all pharmacophoric triangles K-medoid clustering Significant cluster centers Molecular DB Triangles Classification Model Feature Vector Vector representation of molecules Result SVM with MinMax kernel
Complementary to GraphSig • Pharmacophoric atoms vs. atom types • E.g., N-O-N and N-O-O get clustered together due to similar pharmacophoric type • Graph based approach allows more flexibility and computational efficiency • 3D analysis has better accuracy • Possible to combine the two techniques
