Using silico approaches, we prioritized 73 combinations 32 potential activity SARS-CoV-2 and then tested them vitro. Sixteen synergistic eight antagonistic...
Many of the structures in PubChem are annotated with activities determined high-throughput screening (HTS) assays. Because nature these assays, activity data typically strongly imbalanced, a small number active compounds contrasting very large inactive compounds. We have used several such imbalanced HTS assays to test and develop strategies efficiently build robust QSAR models from sets. Different descriptor types [Quantitative Neighborhoods Atoms (QNA) "biological" descriptors] were...

Abstract Assessment of the interactions between a drug and its protein target in physiologically relevant cellular environment constitutes major challenge pre-clinical discovery space. The Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA) enables such an assessment by quantifying changes thermal stability proteins upon ligand binding intact cells. Here, we present development validation homogeneous, standardized, target-independent, high-throughput (384- 1536-well formats) CETSA platform that uses split...
Computational methods to predict molecular properties regarding safety and toxicology represent alternative approaches expedite drug development, screen environmental chemicals, thus significantly reduce associated time costs. There is a strong need interest in the development of computational that yield reliable predictions toxicity, many approaches, including recently introduced deep neural networks, have been leveraged towards this goal. Herein, we report on collection, curation,...
