Toxicity Detection in Drug Candidates using Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System
This addresses the need for fast toxicity detection in new drugs for pharmaceutical scientists, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing method (LSTM) to a specific domain.
The paper tackles the problem of predicting toxicity in drug candidates by using Simplified Molecular-Input Line-Entry System (SMILES) to develop Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models, aiming to enable efficient and practical commercial applications for toxicity analysis.
The need for analysis of toxicity in new drug candidates and the requirement of doing it fast have asked the consideration of scientists towards the use of artificial intelligence tools to examine toxicity levels and to develop models to a degree where they can be used commercially to measure toxicity levels efficiently in upcoming drugs. Artificial Intelligence based models can be used to predict the toxic nature of a chemical using Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship techniques. Convolutional Neural Network models have demonstrated great outcomes in predicting the qualitative analysis of chemicals in order to determine the toxicity. This paper goes for the study of Simplified Molecular Input Line-Entry System (SMILES) as a parameter to develop Long short term memory (LSTM) based models in order to examine the toxicity of a molecule and the degree to which the need can be fulfilled for practical use alongside its future outlooks for the purpose of real world applications.
