Enhancing the understandings on SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M) mutants from molecular dynamics and machine learning.

International journal of biological macromolecules
While star drugs like Paxlovid have shown remarkable performance in combating SARS-CoV-2, we still face serious challenges such as viral mutants and resistance. In this study, we employ a computational framework combining molecular dynamics (MD) simu...

A deep learning model for structure-based bioactivity optimization and its application in the bioactivity optimization of a SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitor.

European journal of medicinal chemistry
Bioactivity optimization is a crucial and technical task in the early stages of drug discovery, traditionally carried out through iterative substituent optimization, a process that is often both time-consuming and expensive. To address this challenge...

Machine Learning-Guided Screening and Molecular Docking for Proposing Naturally Derived Drug Candidates Against MERS-CoV 3CL Protease.

International journal of molecular sciences
In this study, we utilized machine learning techniques to identify potential inhibitors of the MERS-CoV 3CL protease. Among the models evaluated, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm exhibited the highest predictive performance, achieving an accuracy of ...

Enhancing HCV NS3 Inhibitor Classification with Optimized Molecular Fingerprints Using Random Forest.

International journal of molecular sciences
The classification of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 inhibitors is essential for identifying potential antiviral agents through computational methods. This study aims to develop an optimized machine learning (ML) model using random forest (RF) and molec...

Rational design and synthesis of pyrazole derivatives as potential SARS-CoV-2 M inhibitors: An integrated approach merging combinatorial chemistry, molecular docking, and deep learning.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry
The global impact of SARS-CoV-2 has highlighted the urgent need for novel antiviral therapies. This study integrates combinatorial chemistry, molecular docking, and deep learning to design, evaluate and synthesize new pyrazole derivatives as potentia...

Applications of Machine Learning Approaches for the Discovery of SARS-CoV-2 PLpro Inhibitors.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
The global impact of SARS-CoV-2 highlights the need for treatments beyond vaccination, given the limited availability of effective medications. While Pfizer introduced , an FDA-approved antiviral targeting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro), this st...

Machine-Learning Approach to Identify Potential Dengue Virus Protease Inhibitors: A Computational Perspective.

The journal of physical chemistry. B
The global prevalence of dengue virus (DENV), a widespread flavivirus, has led to varied epidemiological impacts, economic burdens, and health consequences. The alarming increase in infections is exacerbated by the absence of approved antiviral agent...

A SAR and QSAR study on 3CLpro inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 using machine learning methods.

SAR and QSAR in environmental research
The 3C-like Proteinase (3CLpro) of novel coronaviruses is intricately linked to viral replication, making it a crucial target for antiviral agents. In this study, we employed two fingerprint descriptors (ECFP_4 and MACCS) to comprehensively character...

Machine learning-based QSAR and LB-PaCS-MD guided design of SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus had led to profound respiratory health implications. This study focused on designing organoselenium-based inhibitors targeting the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M). The ligand-bi...

Discovery of Covalent Lead Compounds Targeting 3CL Protease with a Lateral Interactions Spiking Neural Network.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Covalent drugs exhibit advantages in that noncovalent drugs cannot match, and covalent docking is an important method for screening covalent lead compounds. However, it is difficult for covalent docking to screen covalent compounds on a large scale b...
