AbstractDrug combinations are becoming a standard treatment of many complex diseases due to their capability to overcome resistance to monotherapy. Currently, in the preclinical drug combination screening, the top hits for further study are often selected based on synergy alone, without considering the combination efficacy and toxicity effects, even though these are critical determinants for the clinical success of a therapy. To promote the prioritization of drug combinations based on integrated analysis of synergy, efficacy and toxicity profiles, we implemented a web-based open-source tool, SynToxProfiler (Synergy-Toxicity-Profiler). When applied to 20 anti-cancer drug combinations tested both in healthy control and T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) patient cells, as well as to 77 anti-viral drug pairs tested on Huh7 liver cell line with and without Ebola virus infection, SynToxProfiler was shown to prioritize synergistic drug pairs with higher selective efficacy (difference between efficacy and toxicity level) as top hits, which offers improved likelihood for clinical success.

Abstract Compared with monotherapy, anti-cancer drug combination can provide effective therapy with less toxicity in cancer treatment. Recent studies found that the topological positions of protein modules related to the drugs and the cancer cell lines in the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network may reveal the effects of drugs. However, due to the size of the combinatorial space, identifying synergistic combinations of drugs from PPI network is computationally difficult. To address this challenge, we propose an end-to-end deep learning framework, namely Graph Convolutional Network for Drug Synergy (GraphSynergy), to make synergistic drug combination predictions. GraphSynergy adapts a spatial-based Graph Convolutional Network component to encode the high-order structure information of protein modules targeted by a pair of drugs, as well as the protein modules associated with a specific cancer cell line in the PPI network. The pharmacological effects of drug combinations are explicitly evaluated by their therapy and toxic scores. By introducing an attention component to automatically allocate contribution weights to the proteins, we show the ability of GraphSynergy to capture the pivotal proteins that play a part in both PPI network and biomolecular interactions between drug combinations and cancer cell lines. Experiments on two latest drug combination datasets demonstrate that GraphSynergy outperforms the state-of-the-art in predicting synergistic drug combinations. This study sheds light on using machine learning to discover effective combination therapies for cancer and other complex diseases.

AbstractAnti-cancer drug combination is an effective solution to improve treatment efficacy and overcome resistance. Here we propose a network-based method (DComboNet) to prioritize the candidate drug combinations. The level one model is to predict generalized anti-cancer drug combination effectiveness and level two model is to predict personalized drug combinations. By integrating drugs, genes, pathways and their associations, DComboNet achieves better performance than previous methods, with high AUC value of around 0.8. The level two model performs better than level one model by introducing cancer sample specific transcriptome data into network construction. DComboNet is further applied on finding combinable drugs for sorafenib in hepatocellular cancer, and the results are verified with literatures and cell line experiments. More importantly, three potential mechanism modes of combinations were inferred based on network analysis. In summary, DComboNet is valuable for prioritizing drug combination and the network model may facilitate the understanding of the combination mechanisms.

A highly efficient one-pot method for the reductive coupling of indoles to nitrostyrenes in PPA doped with PCl3 was developed. This method allows direct access to primary (indol-3-yl)acetamides, interesting as anti-cancer drug candidates.
