17. Bayesian machine learning Ekins, Williams and Xu, Drug Metab Dispos 38: 2302-2308, 2010 Bayesian classification is a simple probabilistic classification model. It is based on Bayes’ theorem h is the hypothesis or model d is the observed data p ( h ) is the prior belief (probability of hypothesis h before observing any data) p ( d ) is the data evidence (marginal probability of the data) p ( d|h ) is the likelihood (probability of data d if hypothesis h is true) p ( h|d ) is the posterior probability (probability of hypothesis h being true given the observed data d ) A weight is calculated for each feature using a Laplacian-adjusted probability estimate to account for the different sampling frequencies of different features. The weights are summed to provide a probability estimate

18. Features in DILI + Ekins, Williams and Xu, Drug Metab Dispos 38: 2302-2308, 2010 Avoid Long aliphatic chains Phenols Ketones Diols  -methyl styrene Conjugated structures Cyclohexenones Amides ?

24. SMARTS FIlters Smartsfilter kindly provided by Dr. Jeremy Yang (University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, http://pasilla.health.unm.edu/tomcat/biocomp/smartsfilter). Substructure Alerts used to filter libraries – remove reactive groups etc. Ekins, Williams and Xu, Drug Metab Dispos 38: 2302-2308, 2010

25. SMARTS Filters vs Rule of 5 Ekins and Freundlich, Pharm Res, In press 2011 Correlation between the number of SMARTS filter failures and the number of Lipinski violations for different types of rules sets with FDA drug set from CDD (N = 2804) Suggests # of Lipinski violations may also be an indicator of undesirable chemical features that result in reactivity

28. MRP BCRP P-gp Molecule Databases In vitro testing hPEPT Transporter Pharmacophores or other model types Feedback of new substrates or inhibitors In silico and in vitro screening for Transporters Ekins, in Ecker G and Chiba P, Transporters as drug carriers, John Wiley and Sons.

30. Possible Association between Clinical Rhabdomyolysis and hOCTN2 Inhibition Diao, Ekins, and Polli, Pharm Res, 26, 1890, (2009)

31. +ve -ve hOCTN2 quantitative pharmacophore and Bayesian model Diao et al., Mol Pharm, 7: 2120-2131, 2010 r = 0.89 vinblastine cetirizine emetine

32. hOCTN2 quantitative pharmacophore and Bayesian model Bayesian Model - Leaving 50% out 97 times external ROC 0.90 internal ROC 0.79 concordance 73.4%; specificity 88.2%; sensitivity 64.2%. Lab test set (N = 27) Bayesian model has better correct predictions (> 80%) and lower false positives and negatives than pharmacophore (> 70%) Predictions for literature test set (N=32) not as good as in house – mean max Tanimoto similarity were ~ 0.6 Diao et al., Mol Pharm, 7: 2120-2131, 2010 PCA used to assess training and test set overlap

33. Among the 21 drugs associated with rhabdomyolysis or carnitine deficiency, 14 (66.7%) provided a C max/ K i ratio higher than 0.0025. Among 25 drugs that were not associated with rhabdomyolysis or carnitine deficiency, only 9 (36.0%) showed a C max / K i ratio higher than 0.0025. Rhabdomyolysis or carnitine deficiency was associated with a C max / K i value above 0.0025 (Pearson’s chi-square test p = 0.0382). limitations of C max / K i serving as a predictor for rhabdomyolysis -- C max / K i does not consider the effects of drug tissue distribution or plasma protein binding. hOCTN2 association with rhabdomyolysis Diao et al., Mol Pharm, 7: 2120-2131, 2010
