ABSTRACT
Tissue-to-blood partition coefficients (Ptb) are key parameters for assessing toxicokinetics of xenobiotics in organisms, yet their experimental data were lacking. Experimental methods for measuring Ptb values are inefficient, underscoring the urgent need for prediction models. However, most existing models failed to fully exploit Ptb data from diverse sources, and their applicability domain (AD) was limited. The current study developed a multimodal model capable of processing and integrating textual (categorical features) and numerical information (molecular descriptors/fingerprints) to simultaneously predict Ptb values across various species, tissues, blood matrices, and measurement methods. Artificial neural network algorithms with embedding layers were used for the multimodal modeling. The corresponding unimodal models were developed for comparison. Results showed that the multimodal model outperformed unimodal models. To enhance the reliability of the model, a method considering categorical features, weighted molecular similarity density, and weighted inconsistency in molecular activities of structure-activity landscapes was used to characterize the AD. The model constrained by the AD exhibited better prediction accuracy for the validation set, with the determination coefficient, root mean-square error, and mean absolute error being 0.843, 0.276, and 0.213 log units, respectively. The multimodal model coupled with the AD characterization can serve as an efficient tool for internal exposure assessment of chemicals.
