This script provides the ability to run Phenaris’ transporter models and return the results directly into StarDrop. To use this tool, you will need login credentials which are supplied by Phenaris. To obtain this, please request access on this website.
Predictions can be made for 9 transporters which are involved in drug/drug interactions and hepatoxicity. These include prediction of inhibitors of P-glycoprotein, BCRP, BSEP, MRP3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1.
Please note that any compound structures used in a query will be passed to the Phenaris servers. These data will be sent using a secure connection (i.e. transmitted via HTTPS) and you can view the Phenaris privacy policy.
Version
Please note: This script is compatible with StarDrop 6.6 to StarDrop 7.2 only, for either Windows or Mac. To find out which version you have installed, start StarDrop and select the Help->About menu. If you are using an older version of StarDrop please contact support@optibrium.com and we will be happy to provide download details.
Installing and using the script
macOS with .zip file
- Ensure that you have saved your work and close StarDrop
- Download the file StarDrop Script – Phenaris.zip
- In your user area, navigate to the StarDrop folder (~/StarDrop/py)
- Extract the contents of the zip file into this folder overwriting any existing files
- Restart StarDrop
Windows with .exe file
- Ensure that you have saved your work and close StarDrop
- For 64-bit Windows, download the file StarDrop Script – Phenaris.exe
- When the download is complete, double-click the file to run it and follow the instructions (we recommend that you accept the default options provided)
- Restart StarDrop
The Plugin of Phenaris provides classification models which predict inhibitor molecules for transporters considered relevant by FDA, EMA and the Japanese regulatory agency. It is available via Custom Scripts. It is possible to predict a single molecule by using the so-called Single Prediction as well as a batch upload (Prediction) via the StarDrop upload function. When you start the plugin, you are asked to enter your credentials. You can request access via Phenaris website.
After login you can choose between the following three options:
• Draw molecule for single prediction…
• Single prediction using selected model…
• Prediction…
Select 1. Draw molecule for single prediction…,
Select Custom Scripts > Phenaris > Draw molecule for single prediction…
Draw your molecule in the Structure Sketcher
At the moment there are eight classification models of transporters available namely BCRP, BSEP, MATE1, MRP3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OCT1, OCT2 and P-gp (MDR1). The models are based on the Random Forest Classifier. You can select one or more transporter models from the list or select all at once.
The Output of the prediction provides the classification “yes” and “no” and the prediction score. Further, the applicability domain is given as Boolean result. The results are shown in a newly created dataset called Single prediction. If multiple single predictions are made, the newly predicted molecule will be appended to the existing Single prediction dataset. If you change the model selection between the different Single Prediction runs the fields without a result obtain the entry “?” which indicates that there is no result available.
“Yes” indicates that the compound is predicted as an inhibitor and “no” indicates that the compound is predicted as a non-inhibitor. The prediction score gives the probability if a molecule will inhibit the transporter protein. The score ranges from 0.5 to 1, while a value close to 1 indicate a high probability for the prediction. A value between 0.5 and 0.65 indicate a grey area, where the result has to be taken with caution. The Applicability Domain defines the chemical space of each model. The algorithm is based on the local outlier factor (LOF) approach, which takes the local density into account. True means the test compound is within the chemical space of the model and is therefore In Domain. False mean that the test compound is Out of Domain and cannot be predicted with the given model.
