Statistical Decoding of Potent Pools Based on Chemical Structure
2001
Zhu, Lei | HughesâOliver, Jacqueline M. | Young, S Stanley
Pooling experiments are used as a costâeffective approach for screening chemical compounds as part of the drug discovery process in pharmaceutical companies. When a biologically potent pool is found, the goal is to decode the pool, i.e., to determine which of the individual compounds are potent. We propose augmenting the data on pooled testing with information on the chemical structure of compounds in order to complete the decoding process. This proposal is based on the wellâknown relationship between biological potency of a compound and its chemical structure. Application to real data from a drug discovery process at GlaxoSmithKline reveals a 100% increase in hit rate, namely, the number of potent compounds identified divided by the number of tests required.
