ABSTRACT
In drug candidate design, clearance is one of the most crucial pharmacokinetic parameters to consider. Recent advancements in machine learning techniques coupled with the growing accumulation of drug data have paved the way for the construction of computational models to predict drug clearance. However, concerns persist regarding the reliability of data collected from public sources, and a majority of current in silico quantitative structure-property relationship models tend to neglect the influence of molecular chirality. In this study, we meticulously examined human liver microsome (HLM) data from public databases and constructed two distinct data sets with varying HLM data quantity and quality. Two baseline models (RF and DNN) and three chirality-focused GNNs (DMPNN, TetraDMPNN, and ChIRo) were proposed, and their performance on HLM data was evaluated and compared with each other. The TetraDMPNN model, which leverages chirality from 2D structure, exhibited the best performance with a test R2 of 0.639 and a test root-mean-squared error of 0.429. The applicability domain of the model was also defined by using a molecular similarity-based method. Our research indicates that graph neural networks capable of capturing molecular chirality have significant potential for practical application and can deliver superior performance.
