Abstract

to reach its site at a sufficiently high concentration. Furthermore, for the compound to be safely administered, it must avoid side-effects (off-target activity), drug-drug interactions and non-specific or idiosyncratic toxicities at the therapeutic dose. 1 A similar narrative can be found in agrochemical discovery, where an organism (fungi, insect or weed) needs to be selectively targeted and human toxicity avoided. 2 In both disciplines, the early phases in the discovery process include the identification of a suitable molecule for posterior optimization. As a rule of thumb, the wider the explored chemical space (i.e. synthesized and tested in relevant biological assays), the higher chances of finding a compound displaying high affinity molecule to the target protein of interest.

Drug discovery suffers from high attrition as compounds initially deemed as promising can later show ineffectiveness or toxicity due to a poor understanding of their activity profile. In this work we describe a deep self-normalizing neural network model for the prediction of molecular pathway association and evaluate its performance, showing an AUC ranging from 0.69 to 0.91 on a set of compounds extracted from ChEMBL and from 0.81 to 0.83 on an external dataset provided by Novartis. We finally discuss the applicability of the proposed model in the domain of lead discovery. A usable application is available via PlayMolecule.org.

Introduction

The identification of a chemical which specifically binds with high affinity to a target protein is not a trivial task given that the chemical space is estimated to be composed of around 1060 different molecules. 3 In the context of high-throughput and phenotypic screening for lead discovery, pharmacologically active com-

A drug discovery project might take more than ten years to successfully find a molecule suitable for clinical use. Drug candidates must be potent against the intended target(s) and have appropriate pharmacokinetic properties

pounds for a desired target (hits) are regularly obscured by a large number of molecules acting though unspecific or not desired mechanism of action. The latter compounds may also have an identical assay readout as the desired target modulators, for instance through sharing a common signaling pathway with the desired target or with a target regulating an essential biological system function. Interpretation and deconvolution of the effect of a compound in a cell-based or more complex phenotypic assay is a time consuming process and it may be hard to differentiate a pharmacologically relevant target mediated effect from simple toxic compounds.

ery applications. Many other reported methods in the literature exploit different sources of information. Hu et. al. 11 and Gao et. al 12 use chemical-chemical, chemical-protein and protein-protein annotations extracted from the STITCH 13 and STRING 14 databases in order to map 4366 and 3348 diffferent compounds, respectively, into 11 pathway classes, the second focusing particularly in yeast enzymes. A clear disadvantage of the latter methods is, therefore, their dependency on interaction information. Ma et. al , 15,16 Song et. al. 17 and Chen et. al 18 on the other hand, use transcriptome data to reflect pathway interference through gene expression levels. Similarly, these approaches are limited to work only when expression data is available. Common to all of the methods reported so far, leveraging data from available comprehensive pathway databases such as KEGG 19 and Reactome, 20 is their focus on a small subset of pathways and a very limited selection of training ligands and their lack of an accessible and computationally efficient implementation of the final model, which in turn reduces their applicability in drug discovery programs at scale.

Computational methods that enable the classification of the biological target or pathway that molecules are likely to hit would facilitate assay result analysis and, most importantly, fast off-target prediction for de-prioritization of compounds with known and unwanted mechanisms of action. In recent years, large-scale data integration (protein-protein interaction data-sets) from various pathway resources has taken a big step forward, 4 and so has research for modelling drug-pathway interactions using machine-learning approaches. Cai et. al. 5 and Lu et.al 6 proposed a nearest neighbour algorithm and an AdaBoost model, 7 respectively, and functional groups as descriptors, to classify 2764 compounds into 11 pathway classes. Macchiarulo et. al. 8 used a random forest (RF) model 9 and 32 physiochemical descriptors to classify 681 ligands into 52 individual and 7 class pathways. A limitation of the previously cited methods is that they did not take into account compound interference with several biological pathways (i.e. polypharmacology). Hamdalla et. al. 10 use a substructure matching and nearest neighbour approach against a reference scaffold database to map 3190 ligands into their corresponding individual and class pathways, and take into account multifunction compounds. However, their implementation requires the predicted number of pathways per compound to be pre-specified by the user and is currently very computationally expensive, rendering it impractical in large-scale drug discov-

The availability of information-rich pathway databases along with the one available in Uniprot 21 and ChEMBL 22 offers the possibility to map assay-tested molecules to their corresponding interfering pathways, making them ideal for building large-scale predictive machine-learning (ML) models. Applications of such models in the discovery of biologically active molecules are several: • identification of chemicals that have a high probability of targeting one or a selected set of (disease relevant) biological pathways. We believe this feature could find an application in the virtual screening of large databases of chemicals to discover compounds that may modulate disease impaired specific pathways. The same information can also be used as an enabler to discard (or de-prioritize testing of) compounds impairing pathways linked

to the occurrence of toxic effects in clinical trials 23 or undesired modes of action.

KEGG. For each of these genes, expressed protein Uniprot identifiers were associated, leading to 8482 individual proteins. Ligands for these Uniprot accession numbers were then queried in the ChEMBL database, selecting those with an activity threshold of at least 5.5 pK units (referred here as ChEMBL active ligands). Pathways for which no ligands were found were removed, leading to a total of 299 individual pathways and 200035 associated active ligands. For the Reactome database, we used the provided mapping system applying a similar approach where from the lowest pathway hierarchy levels the Uniprot identifiers are retrieved. This procedure lead to the identification of 1797 pathways and 11077 associated Uniprot identifiers. Identically, ligands were extracted from ChEMBL using the same threshold, and dropping pathways for which no associated ligands are found, leading to a total of 219408 ligands and 1155 associated pathways. Similarly, subsets of Kd as well as IC50 measurements from the Novartis dataset were discretized. Two sets consisting of approximately 300.000 compounds each, containing only compounds acting in at least one pathway in their corresponding pathway database were retrieved. An exhaustive list of pathways for both databases is provided in Tables S1 and S2.

• identification of chemicals that are not active in multiple biological pathways. Such molecules have been categorized as dark chemical matter (DCM) by Novartis. 24 Assuming that the physico-chemical properties of a set of compounds are suitable to reach cellular targets, these may possess a unique activity in a yet to discover protein (or assay to test) and cleaner safety profile, thus making them valuable starting points in lead optimization efforts. • target deconvolution for compounds with a demonstrated phenotipic activity but unknown mechanism of action. The tool can identify the most likely pathways and therefore targets that the molecule could be interfering with. In this work we have developed and made available for public use a deep-learning model, based on self-normalizing neural networks 25 for pathway identification of molecular compounds using the KEGG and Reactome databases. To the best of our knowledge, this the most extensive approach to date for this task, both in terms of training samples and number of pathways predicted and evaluated.

The amount of pathways a single ligand intervenes in and the amount of ligands a single pathway affects (ligand and pathway cardinalities, respectively) is provided in Figure 1. The average ligand cardinality in ChEMBL for KEGG is 11.43, while for Reactome is 8.95, due to the higher number of unique pathways that are reported in the latter. In the Novartis dataset however, the average ligand cardinality for KEGG is 26.39 and for Reactome is 22.44. Ligand diversity, defined as the number of unique different label sets (i.e pathway combinations) that appear in the ChEMBL extracted data is 39692 and 46787 for KEGG and Reactome, respectively.

Materials We use two different biological pathway databases, mainly the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) release 87.0, and Reactome v.65, while ligand data comes from the ChEMBL database v.24 and an external dataset consisting of approximately 1.25 million assay response measurements supplied by Novartis. Being the goal of this work to enable the classification of chemicals that are likely to interact with biological pathways, we queried associated genes for each of the 328 individual Homo Sapiens curated pathways reported in

Multilabel classification Traditional binary (or multiclass, by extension) classification exclusively assumes a single target label per instance, that is, if X = Rd is the feature space, and Y = {0, 1} the target space, its goal is to learn a function f : X → Y from a training set {(xi , yi )}ni=1 , where xi ∈ X and yi ∈ Y. Since a single ligand may play a role in several pathways, the presented problem instead falls naturally into the multilabel classification machine-learning framework. 27 In the latter, our target space becomes Y = {y1 , y2 , ..., yq }, where q is the possible number of labels, and the task becomes to learn a function h : X → 2Y . In our case, h is fully parametrized by a deep self-normalizing neural network that we describe in its corresponding subsection.

This is not surprising and is supported by the fact that significant chemical and pharmaceutical resources have been spent on cancer research and G protein-coupled Receptors (GPCRs) represent an important share of the current drug targets. 26 This inherent experimental bias could potentially later translate into model performance, as significantly more data is available for some pathways than others.

Featurization For ligand representation we use standard Extended Connectivity Fingerprints (ECFP4) as available in the rdkit software 33 with a size of 1024 bits and a radius size of 2 bonds. We note that more modern ligand representations for machine-learning tasks are nowadays available, namely those based on graph convolution. 34 These, in our experiments, were harder to calibrate, and significantly more computationally expensive to train than standard fingerprints. For the sake of simplicity and prediction speed we decided to use the latter in the final model. We also acknowledge that while fingerprints are widely used in many computational chemistry tasks, their interpretation when used in machine-learning based predictors

Methods In this section we detail how we first adapt the task of identifying pathways for a ligand to a multilabel classification problem, to then discuss details on the chosen network architecture.

is harder to deconvolute against others, such as simple physiochemical properties. In this particular case, as we are using neural-network based models, conditional interpretation of the output based on the input becomes arduous, since learnable weights move in a high dimensional space.

It should be noted that one important reason for the choice of neural-network based models in this work is scalability; while other popular machine-learning algorithms such as RFs can also tackle multilabel classification problems, and in fact, one can achieve similar levels of performance as the models proposed here, the former entail expensive memory and disk space requirements when the number of labels is large, as their implementation is based on the binary relevance method. 42 Neural networks, on the other hand, scale particularly well in these instances, providing small and well-performing models that can be deployed in production with relative ease.

Self-normalizing neural networks Deep learning 35,36 approaches have revolutionized computer vision through the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) 37 and natural language processing via recurrent neural networks (RNNs). 38 Success stories for tabular data, with regular, fully forward neural networks (FNNs), however, are scarcer, with most researchers and engineers opting for other statistical models such as RFs and gradient boosting machines (GBMs). 39 In fact, in contrast with modern deep learning architectures, most successful FNNs tend to be relatively shallow. One of the reason deeper architectures are more performant in CNN-based computer vision tasks is batch normalization, 40 which ensures zero-mean and unit variance neuron activations. Self-normalizing neural networks (SNNs) tackle this problem by the use of the SELU activation function, which pushes neuron activation to zero mean and unit variance, enabling the efficient training of deeper fully connected architectures while avoiding exploding or vanishing gradients. The SELU activation function is given by: SELU (x) = β (max{0, x}+ min{0, α (exp(x) − 1)}) ,

Independent models were trained for each database, with the proposed feed-forward neural-network architecture featuring 4 hidden layers with SELU activation, 512 units each, after applying batch normalization to the input. An alpha dropout layer is applied before the final layer, with standard probability 0 α . The final layer features as many nodes as labels present in the KEGG and Reactome sets, that is 299 and 1155 units respectively, with sigmoid activation, each one representing the probability of a pathway being active for a ligand. We did not see any significant experimental improvements by adding extra layers or modifying the number of neurons per layer.

Validation procedure and metrics We validate our model using k-fold cross validation, with k = 10, using two different types of splits, the first random and the second using chemical scaffold information. This means that the training data is split into k parts, trained on k − 1 and evaluated on the remaining, with results averaged over the k leftover sets. In the random split, ligands are randomly assigned to a split, while for the scaffold split, the assignment is performed by a clustering procedure using the k-means algorithm on ECFP4 fingerprints. The latter type of split is also commonly known as clustered cross validation, 43 and it typically shows less overconfident

with α ≈ 1.6733 and β ≈ 1.0507. Dropout 41 is a commonly used technique in deep learning applications, since it tends to provide better network generalization capabilities by randomly setting some of the activations to zero during training. In order to preserve the activation mean when using the SELU activation, an alpha-dropout technique is used, which 0 randomly sets activations to α = −βα instead.

performance estimations. Both splits represent different realities and applicability scenarios, as the results using the first would only be valid for test ligands that fall into the training chemical manifold, while the second one represents performance for ligands falling outside this space. For further evaluation, we take a temporal split validation procedure 44 for the ligands provided by Novartis, where the first 90% of the ligands are used for training and the remaining 10% for testing. Although inductive and confirmation bias may generate similar molecules over time, we believe this procedure depicts another useful validation scenario. 45

where yi and hi is a single binary label and prediction for a single example, respectively. For the task of multilabel classification, the loss is both averaged over the set of possible labels and the batch to obtain a single estimate. In order to avoid overfitting issues while ensuring the best performance possible, a 10% validation set is extracted in each training split, and evaluated after each epoch, reducing the optimizer’s learning rate by an order of magnitude if no improvement is found after 5 consecutive ones.

Results

In order to validate the results obtained in the next section, we use several common multilabel classification metrics, which for the most part are generalizations of their binary classification counterparts. An extensive explanation of these metrics is provided in the Supporting Information. We note that comparison of the proposed approach against existing methods for pathway association is difficult as (i) all previous approaches consider a much lower number of pathway classes to be predicted, (ii) many do not take into account multifunction compounds, 5,6,8 (iii) others use external information, either provided by interaction databases 11,12 or transcriptomic data 15,16 or (iv) they require the number of predicted pathways to be pre-specified by the user, their algorithmic implementation does not provide a probability (or score) estimate for which the same evaluation metrics used here can be computed and is computationally expensive to be applied in large-scale scenarios. 10

Classification results Multilabel classification performances (see Methods section for details) for both the models built from ChEMBL data for KEGG and Reactome are presented in Table 3. We propose different analysis to evaluate their performance, such as the area under the curve (AUC), defined as the probability of ranking a positive example higher than a negative, ranging from 0.69 to 0.91, coverage, defined as the number of positions necessary in the ranked scores to cover all true labels, ranging from 41.31 to 157.1 and F1-scores, defined as the geometric average of recall and precision, ranging from 0.45 to 0.67. As expected, performance numbers in the scaffold split are less optimistic than in the random split, since it represents a scenario where test ligands are significantly different to those ones seen by the model during training. A similar narrative can be seen in the temporal split procedure applied in the set provided by Novartis (Table 4), with lower AUCs, coverages and F1-scores than the ones reported in the random split for the ChEMBL data, although in occasions better than the scaffold split procedure. Contrary to binary classification, where it is common to focus on a few classification metrics, such as AUC and F1-score, multilabel classification is harder to evaluate, and therefore additional metrics are provided to depict other aspects of model performance. Overall, results suggest that all trained models achieve

Training We train for 20 epochs using the Adam optimizer 46 with a starting learning rate of 10−4 , momentum parameters β1 = 0.9, β2 = 0.999, a batch size of 128 samples and the binary crossentropy loss function, defined by: L(yi , hi ) = yi log(hi ) + (1 − yi ) log(1 − hi ), (2)

pathway modulator ligands, 13831 (29.5%) and 13463 (28.7%) were found to be active in experimental tests. Out of the same subset, 6175 (13.2%) and 5513 (11.8%) had a reported associated target protein. The remainder were hits from a various set of phenotypic screenings and no mechanism of action is reported. Besides validating the fact that the model is able to classify active chemical matter, the analysis highlights that compounds defined as DCM within a defined set of assays might be found active in others, including phenotypic screening based ones.

Dark chemical matter classification We next applied our ChEMBL trained models to profile 139352 dark chemical matter (DCM) compounds reported by Wassermann et al., 24 defined as those showing no activity in at least 100 selected set of assays from the Novartis screening platform. Out of the 139352 initial compounds in this set, those that could either not be read by rdkit or were present in our training sets were discarded for evaluation, for a total of 122210 and 119964 filtered compounds for the KEGG and Reactome models respectively.

Randomly picked examples of these true positives reported by the models are reported in Figure 2. For instance, ChEMBL374810 is known to target the EGFR tyrosine kinase 48 and the Reactome model enables its classification as a kinase signaling cascade interfering agent. For compounds ChEMBL2141422, ChEMBL1887894, ChEMBL1481218, ChEMBL1879772 and ChEMBL1505678 very little information is known in terms of biological activity in the literature and therefore its assessment would be relevant in targets already present in the reported pathways. It has to be said that a visual inspection of the deorphanized dark chemical matter showed that some compounds might be active in phenotypic screening due to the enhanced chemical reactivity associated with specific moieties (i.e. michael acceptors, activated thioethers) and not for specifically binding to a target protein and exerting a pharamacologically relevant effect 49 (i.e. ChEMBL1543346, ChEMBL1543346 and ChEMBL1543346).

As previously reported, 24 a great number of unknown (or not publicly reported) biochemical pathways associated phenotypic responses exist for a big number of species of relevant agrochemical and pharmaceutical interest. By definition, DCM compounds are likely to also be inactive in a more comprehensive set of biochemical pathways. Despite the skepticism regarding the existence of truly inactive chemical matter, 75333 (61.6%) and 73030 (60.9%) of the DCM compounds were classified as inactive in all modelled pathways for the KEGG and Reactome models respectively, using a 0.5 probability threshold. Results from this classification show the tendency of DCM compounds to be inactive against multiple human targets and pathways and not just the single set of 100 assays reported in the original paper. In our view, the predicted data highlights that using DCM for a screening campaign on a newly discovered target involved in key biological processes might lead to a low hit rate.

Finally, in order to assess the capability of the model to identify molecules which are experimentally known to impair cell viability though specific or unspecific mechanism we compare the results obtained with other three datasets, the first being a small set of 160 compounds covering more than 40 different target kinases (Tocriscreen kinase inhibitor toolbox I & II), 50 the second being a subset of the Novartis-GNF malaria box dataset 51 (here named as Novartis Phenotypic), consisting of 399 compounds

The in-silico pipeline could also be an enabler to deorphanize such compounds. 47 We therefore checked whether all ligands with at least one predicted pathway in the DCM set were present in ChEMBL and active in any reported assay using the same thresholds detailed in the Materials section. Out of the 46877 (KEGG model) and 46934 (Reactome model) predicted

Results on this comparison can be seen in Figure 3 for the KEGG and Reactome databases respectively. It can be appreciated that the trained models have a tendency to assign fewer pathways in the DCM set than in the other three, as the latter distributions are heavier tailed. Using a significance level of α = 0.05, we perform a two-sample independent Mann Whitney’s U test to test whether it is equally likely that a randomly selected number of predicted pathways value from the DCM set will be less than its counterpart from the other reported sets, respectively.

was developed purely in Python and the PyTorch 56 framework for tensor computations and neural network training (version 0.3.1).

An open implementation of the application is available via PlayMolecule.org, where users can freely submits their compounds for evaluation in either SMI or SDF format. Prediction speed may vary on the the amount of ligands and their complexity, but users can expect a throughput of about several thousands of molecules per second using an NVIDIA GTX1080Ti graphics card, and on the order of hundreds without GPU acceleration. The model presented here

in discovery programs. While both KEGG and Reactome feature a relatively extensive catalogue of metabolic and signalling interactions, the model can potentially be expanded to work with other pathway databases such as WikiPathways 57 or the small molecule pathway database (SMPDB). 58 In fact, a promising direction for future work encompasses building a single multilabel model with information from a large set of pathway databases, so as to reduce ligand redundancy. Another idea encompasses using transfer learning techniques, 59 that is, using the trained weights of one network trained on a set of pathways (e.g KEGG) as a prior for another (e.g Reactome).

Supporting Information Available

After the exemplification of the opportunities associated with the use of a large scale pathwaycentric approach to predict small molecule activity, we identified some of the challenges associated to the use of the described method. Model performance is reliant on the availability of high-quality in-vitro assays data and updated pathway annotation. Since both KEGG and Reactome databases are actively maintained it is likely for model performance to improve over time. We believe the tool to be particularly useful in annotating molecular-pathway associations in a discovery project (i.e. leave in or drop a compound from a screening set in a timely manner).

Furthermore, our production models were trained using only publicly available data. Pharmacologically active molecules from ChEMBL may be reactive (i.e. acting as false positives in assay readout 49 ) or not corresponding to the depicted structure (lack of sample quality control report). We consider the data associated with the molecules a source of inherent bias and therefore prediction error that may be improved after substantial effort in data curation. As we show in our collaboration with Novartis, model training in drug or agrochemical discovery companies, having at their disposal large sets of high-quality data not available to the general scientific community has the potential of improving its performance. Finally, we believe the proposed model
