Over the last few years more and more organ and idiosyncratic toxicities were linked to mitochondrial toxicity. Despite well-established assays, such as the seahorse and Glucose/Galactose assay, an in silico approach to mitochondrial toxicity is still feasible, particularly when it comes to the assessment of large compound libraries. Therefore, in silico approaches could be very beneficial to indicate hazards early in the drug development pipeline. By combining multiple endpoints, we derived the largest so far published dataset on mitochondrial toxicity. A thorough data analysis shows that molecules causing mitochondrial toxicity can be distinguished by physicochemical properties. Finally, the combination of machine learning and structural alerts highlights the suitability for in silico risk assessment of mitochondrial toxicity.
在过去的几年中,越来越多的器官和特异性毒性与线粒体毒性有关。尽管有成熟的检测方法,如 Seahorse 和葡萄糖/半乳糖检测,但是对于线粒体毒性的计算方法仍然是可行的,尤其是在评估大型化合物库时。因此,计算方法在药物开发早期阶段提示潜在毒性方面可能非常有益。通过结合多个终点,我们得出了迄今为止发表的关于线粒体毒性的最大数据集。深入的数据分析表明,能够通过理化性质来区分引起线粒体毒性的分子。最后,机器学习和结构警示的结合突出了计算方法评估线粒体毒性的适用性。
