Use of machine learning approaches for novel drug discovery.

Expert opinion on drug discovery
INTRODUCTION: The use of computational tools in the early stages of drug development has increased in recent decades. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been of special interest, since they can be applied in several steps of the drug discovery met...

Predicting selective liver X receptor β agonists using multiple machine learning methods.

Molecular bioSystems
Liver X receptor (LXR) α and β are cholesterol sensors; they respond to excess cholesterol and stimulate reverse cholesterol transport. Activating LXRs represents a promising therapeutic option for dyslipidemia. However, activating LXRα may cause unw...

Unsupervised Structure Detection in Biomedical Data.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
A major challenge in computational biology is to find simple representations of high-dimensional data that best reveal the underlying structure. In this work, we present an intuitive and easy-to-implement method based on ranked neighborhood compariso...

Artificial Neural Network Methods Applied to Drug Discovery for Neglected Diseases.

Combinatorial chemistry & high throughput screening
Among the chemometric tools used in rational drug design, we find artificial neural network methods (ANNs), a statistical learning algorithm similar to the human brain, to be quite powerful. Some ANN applications use biological and molecular data of ...

A lazy learning-based QSAR classification study for screening potential histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) inhibitors.

SAR and QSAR in environmental research
Histone deacetylases 8 (HDAC8) is an enzyme repressing the transcription of various genes including tumour suppressor gene and has already become a target of human cancer treatment. In an effort to facilitate the discovery of HDAC8 inhibitors, two qu...

Architecture and biological applications of artificial neural networks: a tuberculosis perspective.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
Advancement of science and technology has prompted researchers to develop new intelligent systems that can solve a variety of problems such as pattern recognition, prediction, and optimization. The ability of the human brain to learn in a fashion tha...

AutoWeka: toward an automated data mining software for QSAR and QSPR studies.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
UNLABELLED: In biology and chemistry, a key goal is to discover novel compounds affording potent biological activity or chemical properties. This could be achieved through a chemical intuition-driven trial-and-error process or via data-driven predict...
