Solubility

Intrinsic solubility (water solubility): solubility of non-charged molecules, i.e. free acid and base free form. It is required that the solubility of the compound is determined in the presence of its solid substance.

The project is motivated by the challenge and the following blog post.

(Upate 01/02/2021): The analysis of the challenge results have been recently published.

Data preparation and model training

In this section we discuss how to (1) prepare data, (2) train models, and (3) make challenge predictions with the code in this repository:

  • Process raw data, strore it in a standarized format, and exclude test-cases (stored in test_32.smi and test_100.smi) from training:
python prepare_data.py

All the SMILES are first canonicalized and standardized before the master training data set is created. To change the list of files used for the training set, comment out the lines in the process() and unique() functions in prepare_data.py.

For this set-up, the challenge datasets are our external test sets, and the trainig sets is further split (see below) into 5 cross-fold validation sets.

  • Train the RFPredictor (or other model) on a dataset excluding Set-100 (solubility.uniq.no-in-100.smi), and save cross-fold validation metrics into a file (rf-no-in-100.dat):
python rf.py --input ../../data/training/solubility.uniq.no-in-100.smi \
             --output ../../results/rf-no-in-100.dat

To run a model training in y-randomization mode (as a baseline), add --y_rand to the command options.

  • Train the EnsemblePredictor and make a prediction for Set-100:
python make_challenge_prediction.py --model ensemble \
                                    --train_file ../data/training/solubility.uniq.no-in-100.smi \
                                    --test_file ../data/test/test_100.smi \
                                    --out_file ../data/results/ensemble.test_100.preds.dat
  • Check out your challenge predictions and compare them to the values that could be found in public sources:
python estimate_accuracy.py ../data/test/test_100.with.gse.smi ../results//ensemble.test_100.preds.dat ../data/test/test_100.in-train.smi

Datasets

Note: The training dataset (i.e. all unique SMILES extracted from the raw data) was only mildly curated: (1) filtered out compounds with MolW > 600 or MolW < 60 (2) if multiple measurements are available, compounds with differences larger than 1 log unit or having the opposite signs (e.g. logS0=3 and logS0=-3) were excluded (3) OCHEM db is excluded completely (because of too many dubious datapoints).

Papers

  1. Can You Predict Solubilities of Thirty-Two Molecules Using a Database of One Hundred Reliable Measurements?
    Antonio Llinàs, Robert C. Glen and Jonathan M. Goodman
    J. Chem. Inf. Modeling 2008, 48, 1289-1303
    [paper 1]
    [paper 2]

    Note 0: This is the reference for the original Solubility Challange
    Note 1: In the test set, SMILES strings for probenecid and pseudoephedrine were swapped. Use only soldataswap.xls file.
    Note 2: Solubility for 32 compounds taken from HEL.2009.JCIM.pdf
    Note 3: Data was downloaded from the original website, but the numbers are dubious (IMO) - use CAREFULLY!

    Note: In logS database, the aqueous solubility was expressed as logS, where S is the solubility at a temperature of 20-25°C in mol/L. These are two databases for our modeling. In reference [4], the data afforded by Tetko was used. This database includes 1290 organic compounds. The data set was converted from the SMILES flat file representation to the MACCS/sdf structured data file. In reference [5], some new molecules collected from literature were added. This database includes 1708 molecules.
