The current methodology describes a computational strategy of predicting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) binders for five well studied targets representing M. tuberculosis proteome encompassing most of the known mechanisms of action. The diversity of the targets was affirmed by their active site analysis and structural studies. The current approach employed pharmacophore searching, docking and clustering techniques in tandem and was validated by enrichment studies using the available Schrodinger data set consisting of 1000 decoys. The application of this methodology was demonstrated by predicting potential molecular targets for fifty newly synthesized compounds. Cross docking studies on the targets were carried out with 4512 known inhibitors utilizing a high performance computing platform to reveal underlying affinity and promiscuity patterns. Optimum binding energy range for all targets as determined by high throughput docking was found to be -3 to -13 kcal/mol.</p>10aBinding energy10adocking10aMycobacterium tuberculosis10aopen source drug discovery (OSDD)10apharmacophore10astructure based drug design (SBDD)1 aVyas, Renu1 aKarthikeyan, Muthukumarasamy1 aNainaru, Ganesh1 aMuthukrishnan, Murugan  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/pharmacophore-and-docking-based-virtual-screening-validated-mycobacterium-tuberculosis-002881nas a2200325   4500008004100000022001400041245011500055210006900170260011100239300001200350490000700362520173200369653001702101653001902118653001902137653002002156653003402176653001602210653001502226653002102241653001802262653001602280100001502296700001802311700001502329700002302344700003302367700002602400856012902426       2015                        eng d  a1386-207300aStudy of applications of machine learning based classification methods for virtual screening of lead molecules0 aStudy of applications of machine learning based classification m  aEXECUTIVE STE Y-2, PO BOX 7917, SAIF ZONE, 1200 BR SHARJAH, U ARAB EMIRATESbBENTHAM SCIENCE PUBL LTDcAUG  a658-6720 v183 a<p>The ligand-based virtual screening of combinatorial libraries employs a number of statistical modeling and machine learning methods. A comprehensive analysis of the application of these methods for the diversity oriented virtual screening of biological targets/drug classes is presented here. A number of classification models have been built using three types of inputs namely structure based descriptors, molecular fingerprints and therapeutic category for performing virtual screening. The activity and affinity descriptors of a set of inhibitors of four target classes DHFR, COX, LOX and NMDA have been utilized to train a total of six classifiers viz. Artificial Neural Network (ANN), k nearest neighbor (k-NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes (NB), Decision Tree - (DT) and Random Forest - (RF). Among these classifiers, the ANN was found as the best classifier with an AUC of 0.9 irrespective of the target. New molecular fingerprints based on pharmacophore, toxicophore and chemophore (PTC), were used to build the ANN models for each dataset. A good accuracy of 87.27% was obtained using 296 chemophoric binary fingerprints for the COX-LOX inhibitors compared to pharmacophoric (67.82 %) and toxicophoric (70.64 %). The methodology was validated on the classical Ames mutagenecity dataset of 4337 molecules. To evaluate it further, selectivity and promiscuity of molecules from five drug classes viz. anti-anginal, anti-convulsant, anti-depressant, anti-arrhythmic and anti-diabetic were studied. The TPC fingerprints computed for each category were able to capture the drug-class specific features using the k-NN classifier. These models can be useful for selecting optimal molecules for drug design.</p>10aAnti-anginal10aanti-arrythmic10aanti-bacterial10aanti-convulsant10aanti-depressant anti-diabetic10abinary QSAR10achemophore10amachine learning10apharmacophore10atoxicophore1 aVyas, Renu1 aBapat, Sanket1 aJain, Esha1 aTambe, Sanjeev, S.1 aKarthikeyan, Muthukumarasamy1 aKulkarni, Bhaskar, D.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/study-applications-machine-learning-based-classification-methods-virtual-screening-lead-0
