Preclinical Research Chemoinformatic approaches have an essential role in the systematic description and visualization of the chemical space for drug discovery projects. These methods enable the quantitative comparison of general screening collections and the systematic classification of approved drugs and databases annotated with biological activity to define biologically and medicinally relevant chemical spaces. Profiling of chemical diversity, molecular complexity, and physicochemical properties of compound libraries using chemoinformatic approaches provide a solid basis to generate hypothesis of how to interrogate novel areas of chemical space for enhanced drug discovery. This commentary is focused on the application of chemoinformatic approaches to mine, and to navigate the chemical space of compound collections. The discussion is centered on the concept of chemical space, types of compound libraries used in drug discovery programs, applications of chemical space mining and visualization using chemoinformatic methods, and strategies to expand the pharmaceutical relevant chemical space with emphasis on the notion of molecular complexity.

Introduction: Even though there have been substantial advances in our understanding of biological systems, research in drug discovery is only just now beginning to utilize this type of information. The single-target paradigm, which exemplifies the reductionist approach, remains a mainstay of drug research today. A deeper view of the complexity involved in drug discovery is necessary to advance on this field. Areas covered: This perspective provides a summary of research areas where cheminformatics has played a key role in drug discovery, including of the available resources as well as a personal perspective of the challenges still faced in the field. Expert opinion: Although great strides have been made in the handling and analysis of biological and pharmacological data, more must be done to link the data to biological pathways. This is crucial if one is to understand how drugs modify disease phenotypes, although this will involve a shift from the single drug/single target paradigm that remains a mainstay of drug research. Moreover, such a shift would require an increased awareness of the role of physiology in the mechanism of drug action, which will require the introduction of new mathematical, computer, and biological methods for chemoinformaticians to be trained in.

Computational prediction of drug-target interactions (DTIs) and drug repositioning provides a low-cost and high-efficiency approach for drug discovery and development. The traditional social network-derived methods based on the naive DTI topology information cannot predict potential targets for new chemical entities or failed drugs in clinical trials. There are currently millions of commercially available molecules with biologically relevant representations in chemical databases. It is urgent to develop novel computational approaches to predict targets for new chemical entities and failed drugs on a large scale. In this study, we developed a useful tool, namely substructure-drug-target network-based inference (SDTNBI), to prioritize potential targets for old drugs, failed drugs and new chemical entities. SDTNBI incorporates network and chemoinformatics to bridge the gap between new chemical entities and known DTI network. High performance was yielded in 10-fold and leave-one-out cross validations using four benchmark data sets, covering G protein-coupled receptors, kinases, ion channels and nuclear receptors. Furthermore, the highest areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.797 and 0.863 for two external validation sets, respectively. Finally, we identified thousands of new potential DTIs via implementing SDTNBI on a global network. As a proof-of-principle, we showcased the use of SDTNBI to identify novel anticancer indications for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by inhibiting AKR1C3, CA9 or CA12. In summary, SDTNBI is a powerful network-based approach that predicts potential targets for new chemical entities on a large scale and will provide a new tool for DTI prediction and drug repositioning. The program and predicted DTIs are available on request.

Data science is becoming a mainstay in research. Despite this, very few STEM graduates matriculate with basic formal training in programming. The current lesson plan was developed to introduce undergraduates studying chemistry or biology to chemoinformatics and data science in medicinal chemistry. The objective of this lesson plan is to introduce students to common techniques used in analyzing medicinal chemistry data sets, such as visualizing chemical space, filtering to molecules that observe the Lipinski rules of drug-likeness, and principal component analysis. The content provided in this lesson plan is intended to serve as a tutorial-based reference for aspiring researchers. The lesson plan is split into two three-hour class sessions, each with an introductory slide deck, Python notebook consisting of several modules, and lab report template. During this activity, students learned to parse medicinal chemistry data sets with Python, perform simple machine learning analyses, and develop interactive graphs. During each session, students complete the Python notebook protocol and fill out a lab report template after a short lecture. By the end of the lesson plan, students were able to generate and manipulate various plots of chemical space and they reported having increased confidence in their understanding of chemistry, Python, and data science.

With the advent of significant establishment and development of Internet facilities and computational infrastructure, an overview on bio/chemoinformatics is presented along with its multidisciplinary facts, promises and challenges. The Government of India has paved the way for more profound research in biological field with the use of computational facilities and schemes/projects to collaborate with scientists from different disciplines. Simultaneously, the growth of available biomedical data has provided fresh insight into the nature of redundant and compensatory data. Today, bioinformatics research in India is characterized by a powerful grid computing systems, great variety of biological questions addressed and the close collaborations between scientists and clinicians, with a full spectrum of focuses ranging from database building and methods development to biological discoveries. In fact, this outlook provides a resourceful platform highlighting the funding agencies, institutes and industries working in this direction, which would certainly be of great help to students seeking their career in bioinformatics. Thus, in short, this review highlights the current bio/chemoinformatics trend, educations, status, diverse applicability and demands for further development.

In this paper, we report on the development of a genetic algorithm (GA) for pattern recognition analysis of multivariate chemical data. The GA identifies feature subsets that optimize the separation of the classes in a plot of the two or three largest principal components of the data. Because principal components maximize variance, the bulk of the information encoded by the selected features is about differences between classes in the data set. The principal component (PC) plot function as embedded information filter. Sets of features are selected based on their principal component plots, with a good principal component plot generated by features whose variance or information is primarily about differences between classes in the data set. This limits the GA to search for these types of feature subsets, significantly reducing the size of the search space. In addition, the pattern recognition GA focuses on those classes and/or samples that are difficult to classify by boosting their weights over successive generation using a perceptron to team the class and sample weights. Samples that consistently classify correctly are not as heavily weighted in the analysis as samples that are difficult to classify. The pattern recognition GA integrates aspects of artificial intelligence and evolutionary computations to yield a "smart" one-pass procedure for feature selection. The efficacy and efficiency of the pattern recognition GA is demonstrated via problems: from chemical communication and environmental analysis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

PAMs new in town! An effective, combined bioinformatics and chemoinformatics approach was applied to the design of novel asymmetric bivalent α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with marked potency in?vitro and efficacy in?vivo for preventing neuroapoptosis. The novel chemotype could provide pharmacological probes and potential therapeutic agents for glutamatergic hypofunction and its related neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Over the past similar to 25 years, chemoinformatics has evolved as a scientific discipline, with a strong foundation in pharmaceutical research and scientific roots that can be traced back to the late 1950s. It covers a wide methodological spectrum and is perhaps best positioned in the greater context of chemical information science. Herein, the chemoinformatics discipline is delineated, characteristic (and partly problematic) features are discussed, and a global view of the field is provided, emphasizing key developments.

In chemoinformatics, artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow a symbiosis with open science (OS). Such a close AI-OS interaction brings substantial practical benefits in research, scientific dissemination, and education, to name a few areas. The AI-OS symbiosis can be further enhanced by combining sufficient substantive expertise, mathematical and statistical knowledge, and coding skills. This Viewpoint discusses the benefits of the smooth and productive interaction between AI, OS, and open data. We also present a short list of misconceptions and pitfalls surrounding AI-OS and propose correct responses and behaviors agreed upon by field experts. In addition, we provide suggestions to continue enhancing the positive contributions of the AI-OS symbiosis towards chemoinformatics.
