Modeling Km values using electrotopological state: Substrates for cytochrome P450 3A4-mediated metabolism

In order to determine Km values of substrates for CYP3A4-mediated metabolism, an in silico model has been developed in the present work. Using electrotopological state (E-state) indices, together with Bayesian-regularized neural network (BRNN), we have described an in silico method to model log (1/Km) values of various substrates. The relative importance of the E-state indices is analyzed by principal component analysis. By using an additional external test set, which is independent of the training set, the robustness and predictivity of the model are also validated.

Using electrotopological state (E-state) indices, together with Bayesian-regularized artificial neural network, we describe an in silico approach for modeling the CYP3A4 enzyme kinetics.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
