CYP450-mediated metabolism of drug-like molecules Charles Bergeron , Jed Zaretzki,, Curt Breneman, and Kristin Bennett NIH Molecular Roadmaps Initiative 1P20H6003899-01 • Motivation • Identify the problem • Customized Machine Learning Method • Results • Conclusions
Clozaril pill Clozapine molecule Drug Metabolism • The rate limiting step in the metabolism of drugs by enzyme cytochrome CYP3A4 is hydrogen atom abstraction (removal).
Motivation: Why is this important? • CYP450 isozymes metabolize the majority of drugs in clinical use • 3A4, 2D6, and 2C9 respectively metabolize 50%, 25%, and 16% of drugs on the market • Prediction of metabolic sites on lead candidates can circumvent metabolic liabilities later in the discovery pipeline, as well as aid pro-drug design. • While In vitro techniques are increasingly high throughput, the in silicoidentification of metabolic liability early on in the drug discovery process will allow for the prevention of taking forward certain drug candidates
Identifying the problem • Developing a predictive model of regioselective metabolism by a CYP 450 isozyme • Issues: • For a given molecule, only the site of metabolism with the fastest reaction rate is known • There is no information about relative rates of metabolism for other sites on the molecule • Relative reaction rates between different molecules are unknown
Identifying the Problem: A racing metaphor FINISH Race 1 Race 2 Race 3 OXIDIZE Molecule of Lidocaine
Representation: Identifying distinct regions of a molecule - Metabolophores • Topologically equivalent groups of hydrogens are identified, where abstraction of any member of the group results in the same metabolite.

Results: Comparison with other methods • Our descriptors and modeling techniques take advantage the inherent molecule /metabolophore structure of the problem to effectively utilize limited experimental information. • Results statistically equivalent to previously published results • Predictions published by Sheridan utilize methods proprietary to Merck, while Metasite is a commercial product. • We are developing our method into publically available tool for online metabolic site predictions.
Results in Blind test for Major Pharmaceutical Company “Long story short, we're very impressed with the predictions for this preliminary test set of 20 compounds. If we had not had experimental data yet for these compounds, the predictions would have been very useful in directing our chemistry teams to the major or minor metabolic hot-spot for a large majority of the compounds.” (85% accuracy)
Conclusions and Directions: • Most accurate public domain method for hydrogen abstraction (online prototype). • Metabolite can be accurately determine using predicted metabalophore. • Customize machine learning to the task • Model enhancements: Nonlinear Kernel function, Multi-task learning across isozymes, Multi-level model • Algorithm enhancements: New faster class of nonsmoothnonconvex bundle methods for multiple instance learning.

Tackling Tuberculosis • More than 8 million new cases, 2.5 million deaths a year worldwide • WHO: 1/3 of world population is infected • Strong association with HIV epidemics, poverty • Emergence of multidrug-resistant strains • Extremely difficult to control • Goal:Use DNA fingerprinting of TB bacteria totrack spread of TB, detect new outbreaks, guide control efforts
Genotyping helps TB Control Two students/employees sick with TB. TB Controller: Find source(s) of infection in order to identify people who need treatment and stop future transmission. Genotype TB bacteria to see if patients are part of the same outbreak. 20
Identify the Problems Extract information valuable to TB control efforts in NYC beyond “match or no match” • Determine major phylogenetic lineages • Visualize genotype and patient information to find “clusters of interest” (outbreaks) • Spoligoforests • Patient/genotype clusters
Use M. Tuberculosis Complex DNA fingerprinting • Insertion sequence 6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (IS6110-RFLP) • Polymorphic GC-rich sequence – RFLP • Spacer oligonucleotide typing (Spoligotyping) • Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU) • Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) • Large sequence polymorphism (LSP) • Spoligotyping + MIRU - • Routinely collected nationwide as part of TB surveillance data. New York City also has IS6110-RFLP Need to culture for several weeks PCR based
NYC Data from 2001-2008 • 4984 Patients • 137 Countries • 793 Spoligotypes, • 2648 RFLPs • 3235 Distinct Genotypes • 594 “Named” Clusters MIRU also available but incomplete
DNA Fingerprint: Spoligotyping • Direct repeats (DR) separated by variable spacers • Contiguous on chromosome, order well conserved • Forty three spacers used • Presence of a spacer is detected: 1- present ( ), 0 - absent ( ) spacer spacer DR DR spacer spacer DR DR DR DVR Strain Binary description of spoligotypes M. tuberculosis Beijing M. bovis
Major Genetic Lineages • Major genetic lineages as determined LSPs and SNPs widely accepted • How do you determine these based only on spoligotyes/MIRU? Lineages in NYC
Evolution of Spoligotypes • Mtb highly clonal. Evolution of spoligotypes is slow. • One or more contiguous spacers are lost in one evolutionary event. • Distinctphylogeographicgroups. • Dollo Parsimony Assumption: Once lost, spacers are never regained Strain Binary description of spoligotypes East Asian M. bovis Indo-Oceanic
TB-LinRules: DeterminesLineages Precise rules use two types of features Deletion of contiguous spacers MIRU Locus 24 If MIRU 24 >1 then ancestral otherwise modern.
