The availability of computers has brought novel prospects in drug design. Neural networks (NN) were an early tool that cheminformatics tested for converting data into drugs. However, the initial interest faded for almost two decades. The recent succe...
The ability to predict chemical reactivity of a molecule is highly desirable in drug discovery, both ex vivo (synthetic route planning, formulation, stability) and in vivo: metabolic reactions determine pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and potentia...

The estimation of chemical reaction properties such as activation energies, rates, or yields is a central topic of computational chemistry. In contrast to molecular properties, where machine learning approaches such as graph convolutional neural netw...
The introduction of a new drug to the commercial market follows a complex and long process that typically spans over several years and entails large monetary costs due to a high attrition rate. Because of this, there is an urgent need to improve this...
Chemical-induced hematotoxicity is an important concern in the drug discovery, since it can often be fatal when it happens. It is quite useful for us to give special attention to chemicals which can cause hematotoxicity. In the present study, we focu...
DGAT1 plays a crucial controlling role in triglyceride biosynthetic pathways, which makes it an attractive therapeutic target for obesity. Thus, development of DGAT1 inhibitors with novel chemical scaffolds is desired and important in the drug discov...
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, representing 60-70% of dementia cases. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) cleaves the ester bonds in acetylcholine and plays an important role in the termination of acetylcholine activity a...
The question of molecular similarity is core in cheminformatics and is usually assessed via a comparison based on vectors of properties or molecular fingerprints. We recently exploited variational autoencoders to embed 6M molecules in a chemical spa...
