An automated PLS search for biologically relevant QSAR descriptors
Abstract
An automated PLS engine, WB-PLS, was applied to 1632 QSAR series with at least 25 compounds per series extracted from WOMBAT (WOrld of Molecular BioAcTivity). WB-PLS extracts a single Y variable per series, as well as pre-computed X variables from a table. The table contained 2D descriptors, the drug-like MDL 320 keys as implemented in the Mesa A&C Fingerprint module, and in-house generated topological-pharmacophore SMARTS counts and fingerprints. Each descriptor type was treated as a block, with or without scaling. Cross-validation, variable importance on projections (VIP) above 0.8 and q2 > or = 0.3 were applied for model significance. Among cross-validation methods, leave-one-in-seven-out (CV7) is a better measure of model significance, compared to leave-one-out (measuring redundancy) and leave-half-out (too restrictive). SMARTS counts overlap with 2D descriptors (having a more quantitative nature), whereas MDL keys overlap with in-house fingerprints (both are more qualitative). The SMARTS counts is the most effective descriptor system, when compared to the other three. At the individual level, size-related descriptors and topological indices (in the 2D property space), and branched SMARTS, aromatic and ring atom types and halogens are found to be most relevant according to the VIP criterion.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
