Site-of-metabolism prediction in OpenRiskNet

Abstract:
Metabolites can play an important role in adverse effects of parent drug (or other xenobiotic) compounds. During the EU-H2020 OpenRiskNet project, several partners (VU Amsterdam, HHU/HITeC Hamburg, Uppsala University, JGU Mainz) have worked together on making methods and tools available within the OpenRiskNet platform for metabolite and site-of-metabolism (SOM) prediction. For that purpose we have integrated ligand-based metabolite predictors (e.g., MetPred, FAME 3, SMARTCyp) and protein-structure and -dynamics based models to predict SOMs of Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) substrates. CYP450s metabolize ~75% of the currently marketed drugs and their active-site shape and plasticity often play an important role in determining the substrate's SOM. To facilitate the combined use of the metabolite prediction approaches and their outcomes, we made Jupyter notebooks available that gather and visualize results from the integrated services. Here we illustrate the possible added value of their combined use in the context of a pilot study on SOM prediction for compounds with known metabolite-associated toxicity. Finally we shortly discuss related work from our laboratory, on predicting Cytochrome P450 binding affinity prediction.
