Machine Learning Examples
• Data is BIG for neglected diseases
• To discover new leads
• Tuberculosis – from public data to open models to create IP
• Chagas Disease - from public data to create new IP
• Ebola virus – from little data to create open data and IP
• Other diseases, emerging diseases?

- “no activity” in mouse model up to 400 mg/kg
- however, activity was solely judged by
extension of survival!

Chagas Disease
• About 7 million to 8 million people
estimated to be infected worldwide
• Vector-borne transmission occurs in the
Americas.
• A triatomine bug carries the
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi which causes
the disease.
• The disease is curable if treatment is
initiated soon after infection.
• No FDA approved drug, pipe line sparse
Hotez et al., PLoS Negl Trop Dis. 2013 Oct
31;7(10):e2300
R41-AI108003-01
• Modeled data with over 300,000 cpds but focused on smaller set
• Dataset from PubChem AID 2044 – Broad Institute data
• Dose response data (1853 actives and 2203 inactives)
• Dose response and cytotoxicity (1698 actives and 2363 inactives)
• EC50 values less than 1 mM were selected as actives.
• For cytotoxicity greater than 10 fold difference compared with EC50
• Models generated using : molecular function class fingerprints of maximum
diameter 6 (FCFP_6), AlogP, molecular weight, number of rotatable bonds,
number of rings, number of aromatic rings, number of hydrogen bond
acceptors, number of hydrogen bond donors, and molecular fractional polar
surface area.
• 5-fold cross validation or leave out 50% x 100 fold cross validation was used
to calculate the ROC for the models generated

2014-2015 Ebola outbreak
March 2014, the
World Health
Organization (WHO)
reported a major
Ebola outbreak in
Guinea, a western
African nation
8 August 2014, the
WHO declared the
epidemic to be an
international public
health emergency
I urge everyone involved in all aspects of this epidemic to openly and rapidly report their experiences and
findings. Information will be one of our key weapons in defeating the Ebola epidemic. Peter Piot

Machine Learning for EBOV
• 868 molecules from the viral pseudotype entry assay and the EBOV replication assay
• Salts were stripped and duplicates removed using Discovery Studio 4.1 (Biovia, San
Diego, CA)
• IC50 values less than 50 mM were selected as actives.
• Models generated using : molecular function class fingerprints of maximum diameter 6
(FCFP_6), AlogP, molecular weight, number of rotatable bonds, number of rings,
number of aromatic rings, number of hydrogen bond acceptors, number of hydrogen
bond donors, and molecular fractional polar surface area.
• Models were validated using five-fold cross validation (leave out 20% of the database).
• Bayesian, Support Vector Machine and Recursive Partitioning Forest and single tree
models built.
• RP Forest and RP Single Tree models used the standard protocol in Discovery Studio.
• 5-fold cross validation or leave out 50% x 100 fold cross validation was used to
calculate the ROC for the models generated

Making Ebola models available
• From data published by others …to proposing target
• Collaborated with lab to open up their screening data, build models,
identified more active inhibitors
• To date the most potent drugs and drug-like molecules
• Still a need for a drug that could be used ASAP
• Models in MMDS http://molsync.com/ebola/
More data continues to be published
• We collated 55 molecules from the literature
• A second review lists 60 hits
– Picazo, E. and F. Giordanetto, Drug Discovery Today. 2015 Feb;20(2):277-86
• Additional screens have identified 53 hits and 80 hits respectively

Compounds and chemical libraries suggested for testing against Zika virus
• Data is out there to produce models for neglected diseases
• Also modeled Marburg, Lassa, Dengue..
• Computational and experimental collaborations with open data have lead to :
– New hits and leads
– New IP
– New grants for collaborators
• Even Ebola had enough data to build models and suggest compounds to test
in 2014
• Zika = starting from scratch – no data – need to use other approaches
• Make findings open and published immediately
• Need for easier facilities to test compounds
• Challenges still – sharing and accessing information / knowledge
• How do we prepare for the next BIG ONE
