Abstract:



The Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a transcriptional regulator of cytochrome P450 3A4, P-glycoprotein and many other genes involved in metabolism and excretion. Studies have used machine learning methods to predict PXR agonist activity for drugs but none have been made publically available.

We utilized 203 PXR agonists (EC50 for < 10 mM) with the Ligand Activity by Surface Similarity Order (LASSO) method, a ligand-based tool focused on similarity of biomolecular activity rather than structural similarity. Twenty five models were built using 8 -128 agonists. The models were tested using identification of agonists not in the training set or using 3k, 8k and 24k drug-like decoys including PXR inactive compounds (N=228). We found 64-128 actives provided acceptable enrichment factors of 10% in the top 1% of compounds screened. The best model will be deployed in ChemSpider.com, enabling prediction of PXR agonist activity for almost 20 million compounds in the database.
