ABSTRACT: By combining a Message-Passing Graph Neural Network (MPGNN) and a Forward fully connected Neural Network (FNN) with an integrated gradients explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) method, the authors developed MolGrad and tested it on a number of ADME predictive tasks such as plasma protein binding prediction as the case for this model. MolGrad incorporates explainable features to facilitate interpretation of the predictions. In this model, they train MolGrad with data from a Plasma-protein binding assay (PPB) to predict the fraction bound in plasma of small molecules. Implementation of this model code by Ersilia is available here:

Graph neural networks are able to solve certain drug discovery tasks such as molecular property prediction and <i>de novo</i> molecule generation. However, these models are considered "black-box" and "hard-to-debug". This study aimed to improve modeling transparency for rational molecular design by applying the integrated gradients explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) approach for graph neural network models. Models were trained for predicting plasma protein binding, hERG channel inhibition ...[more]
