Abstract
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that affects the brain's neurons, and causes malfunction of nerve cells and their death. A neurotransmitter called dopamine interacts with the part of the brain in charge of coordination and movement. In general, the brain produces less dopamine as Parkinson's disease worsens; therefore, it becomes harder to control the movements. In this study, a dataset collected from CHEMBL library was applied to build four machine learning models using three different descriptors functions to determine the best models with the best features and suggest the best adenosine inhibitors. Molecular docking of adenosine A2A (PDB ID: 3UZA) receptor was applied to identify the potential inhibitors. The machine learning and molecular docking results indicate that XGBoost model with RDkit features is an excellent model for this dataset to explore new Anti-Parkinson's agents.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling is devoted to the publication of papers on the uses of computers in theoretical investigations of molecular structure, function, interaction, and design. The scope of the journal includes all aspects of molecular modeling and computational chemistry, including, for instance, the study of molecular shape and properties, molecular simulations, protein and polymer engineering, drug design, materials design, structure-activity and structure-property relationships, database mining, and compound library design.
As a primary research journal, JMGM seeks to bring new knowledge to the attention of our readers. As such, submissions to the journal need to not only report results, but must draw conclusions and explore implications of the work presented. Authors are strongly encouraged to bear this in mind when preparing manuscripts. Routine applications of standard modelling approaches, providing only very limited new scientific insight, will not meet our criteria for publication. Reproducibility of reported calculations is an important issue. Wherever possible, we urge authors to enhance their papers with Supplementary Data, for example, in QSAR studies machine-readable versions of molecular datasets or in the development of new force-field parameters versions of the topology and force field parameter files. Routine applications of existing methods that do not lead to genuinely new insight will not be considered.
