Computer systems for the prediction of xenobiotic metabolism
Abstract
The aim of pharmaceutical research and development is to ensure a continuing pipeline of new chemical entities (NCEs) displaying high therapeutic efficacy with few or no side effects. Failure of promising lead candidates late in the drug discovery processes is regarded as commercially unacceptable in today's increasingly competitive business environment. An inappropriate ADME/Toxicity profile in humans is the major cause of failure of lead candidates in late clinical stages of drug development. Combinatorial chemistry techniques coupled with high throughput screening protocols means that pharmaceutical companies are now dealing with an unprecedented number of NCEs on an annual basis. As a consequence, screening for undesirable ADME/Toxicity properties in the early stages of drug development, preferably pre-synthesis, is now considered the essential paradigm. In silico assessment of NCEs is rapidly emerging as the next wave of technology for early ADME/Toxicity prediction. In this review, we discuss the major commercially available products for the assessing the potential metabolic activity of xenobiotic substances in mammalian systems.

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.
