This study presents an integrated approach combining machine learning (ML) and network pharmacology to identify potential non-covalent inhibitors against pivotal proteins in COVID-19 pathogenesis, specifically B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR).</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>Employing a dataset of 13,107 compounds, ML algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Naïve Bayes (NB) were utilized for screening and predicting active inhibitors based on molecular features. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, conducted over a 100 nanosecond period, enhanced the ML-based screening by providing insights into the binding affinities and interaction dynamics with BCL2 and EGFR. Network pharmacology analysis identified these proteins as hub targets within the COVID-19 protein-protein interaction network, highlighting their roles in apoptosis regulation and cellular signaling.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The identified inhibitors exhibited strong binding affinities, suggesting potential efficacy in disrupting viral life cycles and impeding disease progression. Comparative analysis with existing literature affirmed the relevance of BCL2 and EGFR in COVID-19 therapy and underscored the novelty of integrating network pharmacology with ML. This multidisciplinary approach establishes a framework for emerging pathogen treatments and advocates for subsequent in vitro and in vivo validation, emphasizing a multi-targeted drug design strategy against viral adaptability.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study's findings are crucial for the ongoing development of therapeutic agents against COVID-19, leveraging computational and network-based strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10845,"journal":{"name":"Current pharmaceutical design","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143001511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
