Abstract

The Mane plant (Vitex pinnata L.) is traditionally used as medicine in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This study aimed to predict the pharmacokinetic parameters of compounds in the ethanolic extract of Mane leaf (EEML), including the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET), by in-silico approach. The method used was to analyze the compounds using a web-predictor server and molecular docking. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis of EEML showed the presence of active compounds, including phytol (60.93%), acorenol (8.56%), n-hexadecanoic acid (4.89%), trans-Z-alpha-bisabolene epoxide (2.7%) and cedrane (2.03%). Lipinski's rule of five states that all compounds had a deviation of less than 2. Pharmacokinetic parameters suggested that phytol was moderately absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and had a toxicity level of 5 with lethal doses (LD50) >5000 mg/kg. Molecular docking results showed that phytol could be used against the targeted enzyme Staphylococcus aureus. In conclusion, our study suggests that the active compounds of EEML may have potential as a drug candidate.

Abstract

This study explores the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies using genetic algorithm (GA) and LightGBM to search for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease. The study uses a dataset of 6,157 AChE inhibitors and their IC50 values. A LightGBM model is trained and evaluated for classification performance. The results show that the LightGBM model achieved high performance on the training and testing set, with an accuracy of 92.49% and 82.47%, respectively. This study demonstrates the potential of GA and LightGBM in the drug discovery process for AChE inhibitors in Alzheimer's disease. The findings contribute to the drug discovery process by providing insights about AChE inhibitors that allow more efficient screening of potential compounds and accelerate the identification of promising candidates for development and therapeutic use.

Abstract

Inflammatory diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular conditions are driven by overproduction of leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent inflammatory mediator. Leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4H) plays a critical role in converting leukotriene A4 into LTB4, making it a prime target for drug discovery. Despite ongoing efforts, developing effective LTA4H inhibitors has been challenging due to the complex binding properties of the enzyme and the structural diversity of potential inhibitors. Traditional drug discovery methods, like high-throughput screening (HTS), are often time-consuming and inefficient, prompting the need for more advanced approaches. Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling, enhanced by ensemble machine learning techniques, provides a promising solution by enabling accurate prediction of compound bioactivity based on molecular descriptors. In this study, six ensemble machine learning methods—AdaBoost, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, LightGBM, Random Forest, and XGBoost—were employed to classify LTA4H inhibitors. The dataset, comprising 636 compounds labeled as active or inactive based on pIC50 values, was processed to extract 450 molecular descriptors after feature engineering. The results show that the LightGBM model achieved the highest classification accuracy (83.59%) and Area Under the Curve (AUC) value (0.901), outperforming other models. XGBoost and Random Forest also demonstrated strong performance, with AUC values of 0.890 and 0.895, respectively. The high sensitivity (95.24%) of the XGBoost model highlights its ability to accurately identify active compounds, though it exhibited slightly lower specificity (61.36%), indicating a higher false-positive rate. These findings suggest that ensemble machine learning models, particularly LightGBM, are highly effective in predicting bioactivity, offering valuable tools for early-stage drug discovery. The results indicate that ensemble methods significantly enhance QSAR model accuracy, making them viable for identifying promising LTA4H inhibitors, potentially accelerating the development of anti-inflammatory therapies.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, with the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques playing a key role in its progression. Beta-Secretase 1 (BACE1) is a crucial enzyme in Aβ production, making it a prime therapeutic target for AD treatment. However, designing effective BACE1 inhibitors has been challenging due to poor selectivity and limited blood-brain barrier permeability. To address these challenges, we employed a machine learning approach using Support Vector Regression (SVR) in a Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model to predict the inhibitory activity of potential BACE1 inhibitors. Our model, trained on a dataset of 7,298 compounds from the ChEMBL database, accurately predicted pIC50 values using molecular descriptors, achieving an R² of 0.690 on the testing set. The model's performance demonstrates its utility in prioritizing drug candidates, potentially accelerating drug discovery. This study highlights the effectiveness of computational approaches in optimizing drug discovery and suggests that further refinement could enhance the model’s predictive power for AD therapeutics.

Abstract

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, primarily managed by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Carbonic Anhydrase-II (CA-II) inhibitors play a crucial role in this treatment by reducing aqueous humor production. However, existing CA-II inhibitors often suffer from poor selectivity, side effects, and limited bioavailability, highlighting the need for more efficient and targeted drug discovery approaches. This study uses machine learning-driven Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling to predict CA-II inhibition based on molecular descriptors, significantly enhancing screening efficiency over traditional experimental methods. By evaluating multiple machine learning models, including Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, and Random Forest, we identify SVM as the most effective classifier, achieving the highest accuracy (83.70%) and F1-score (89.36%). Class imbalance remains challenging despite high sensitivity, necessitating further improvements through resampling and hyperparameter optimization. Our findings underscore the potential of machine learning-based virtual screening in accelerating CA-II inhibitor identification and advocate for integrating AI-driven approaches with traditional drug discovery techniques. Future directions include deep learning enhancements and hybrid machine learning-docking frameworks to improve prediction accuracy and facilitate the development of more potent and selective glaucoma treatments.

Abstract

Cancer remains a major global health burden, with angiogenesis playing a central role in tumor growth and progression. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is a key mediator of angiogenesis and an attractive therapeutic target, but existing inhibitors are limited by reduced efficacy, toxicity, and resistance, creating a need for more effective predictive models in drug discovery. In this study, an interpretable machine learning based QSAR approach was developed using a curated dataset of 10,221 VEGFR-2 inhibitors from ChEMBL represented by 164 molecular descriptors. Four algorithms, kNN, AdaBoost, Random Forest, and XGBoost, were compared, and XGBoost achieved the best results with an accuracy of 83.67 percent, sensitivity of 91.38 percent, specificity of 71.73 percent, F1-score of 87.17 percent, and AUC of 0.9009. Model interpretation with LIME identified molecular descriptors related to hydrogen bonding, electrostatics, and lipophilicity as key contributors to activity. These results indicate that interpretable ensemble models can combine strong predictive performance with mechanistic insights, supporting rational design and optimization of novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors for anticancer therapy.
