Abstract
Computer-aided Prediction of Biological Activity Spectra as a way to creating new effective and safe medicines

Vladimir Poroikov, Institute of Biomedical Chemistry of Rus. Acad. Med. Sci., Moscow, 119121 Russia


Today the number of unique chemical compounds available for screening on a commercial basis is about twenty million. The number of potential pharmacological targets is quickly growing due to the achievements of "omic"-sciences and bioinformatics. Despite the development of new ultra-HTS technologies, a breach between the number of available compounds and ability to test them against all known targets is permanently increasing. By using computer prediction of biological activity spectra on the basis of accumulated information about targets and ligands, this breach can be reduced significantly. As a result, new knowledge about structure-activity relationships will be obtained for compounds under study, and the risk to miss useful pharmacological or dangerous adverse/toxic effects will be considerably decreased. We developed the computer program PASS (http://ibmc.msk.ru/PASS), which predicts more than 1000 kinds of biological activity on the basis of structural formula of chemical compounds with average accuracy ~85% (LOO CV). PASS predictions for ~250000 compounds from the open NCI database are available from the NCI web-site http://cactus.nci.nih.gov/ncidb2/. It was shown that application of PASS increases the number of active "hits" in the selected sub-set of compounds up to ~17 times [1]. Based on PASS predictions, new angiogenesis inhibitors [1], anxiolytics [2], cognition enhancers [3], antileishmanials [4], and other new biologically active compounds were found. The academic community may use PASS via the Internet for free, to estimate biological activity spectra of their compounds either already synthesized or virtually designed, or just planned for synthesis [5]. About 3000 researchers obtained the predicted biological activity spectra for ~ 50000 chemical compounds, which provided them criteria for selection of the most prospective "candidates".
