Machine Learning-Based Virtual Screening and Molecular Simulation Approaches Identified Novel Potential Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) is a promising target for cancer treatment, developing new effective CDK2 inhibitors is of great significance in anticancer therapy. The involvement of CDK2 in tumorigenesis has been debated, but recent evidence suggests that specifically inhibiting CDK2 could be beneficial in treating certain tumors. This approach remains attractive in the development of anticancer drugs. Several small-molecule inhibitors targeting CDK2 have reached clinical trials, but a selective inhibitor for CDK2 is yet to be discovered. In this study, we conducted machine learning-based drug designing to search for a drug candidate for CDK2. Machine learning models, including k-NN, SVM, RF, and GNB, were created to detect active and inactive inhibitors for a CDK2 drug target. The mode
