Pruned Machine Learning Models to Predict Aqueous Solubility.

ABSTRACT: Solubility is a key metric for therapeutic compounds. Conversely, insoluble compounds cloud the accuracy of assays at all stages of chemical biology and drug discovery. Herein, we disclose naïve Bayesian classifier models to predict aqueous solubility. Publicly accessible aqueous solubility data were used to create two full, or nonpruned, training sets. These two sets were also combined to create a full fused set, and a training set comprised of a literature collation of solubility data was also considered as a reference. We tested different extents of data pruning on the training sets and constructed machine learning models that were evaluated with two independent, external test sets that contained compounds that were different from the training sets. The best pruned and fused model was s
