The versatility of similarity searching and quantitative structure-activity relationships to model the activity of compound sets within given bioactivity ranges (i.e., interpolation) is well established. However, their relative performance in the com...
Identifying drug-target interactions will greatly narrow down the scope of search of candidate medications, and thus can serve as the vital first step in drug discovery. Considering that in vitro experiments are extremely costly and time-consuming, h...

The new wave of successful generative models in machine learning has increased the interest in deep learning driven de novo drug design. However, method comparison is difficult because of various flaws of the currently employed evaluation metrics. We...
Designing a new drug is a lengthy and expensive process. As the space of potential molecules is very large ( Polishchuk , P. G. ; Madzhidov , T. I. ; Varnek , A. Estimation of the size of drug-like chemical space based on GDB-17 data . J. Comput.-Aid...

The majority of computational methods for predicting toxicity of chemicals are typically based on "nonmechanistic" cheminformatics solutions, relying on an arsenal of QSAR descriptors, often vaguely associated with chemical structures, and typically ...
Computational drug repositioning requires assessment of the functional similarities among compounds. Here, we report a new method for measuring compound functional similarity based on gene expression data. This approach takes advantage of deep neural...
