Predicting drug resistance related to ABC transporters using unsupervised Consensus Self-Organizing Maps
2018
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters play a pivotal role in drug elimination, particularly on several types of cancer in which these proteins are overexpressed. Due to their promiscuous ligand recognition, building computational models for substrate classification is quite challenging. This study evaluates the use of modified Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) for predicting drug resistance associated with P-gp, MPR1 and BCRP activity. Herein, we present a novel multi-labelled unsupervised classification model which combines a new clustering algorithm with SOM. It significantly improves the accuracy of substrates classification, catching up with traditional supervised machine learning algorithms. Results can be applied to predict the pharmacological profile of new drug candidates during the drug development process.
