Abstract: Aggregator (frequent hitter) compounds show non-selective binding activity against any target protein and must be removed from the compound library to reduce false positives in drug screening. A previous study suggested that aggregators show high hydrophobicity. The LogS values of aggregators and non-aggregators were estimated by the artificial neural network (ANN) model, the multi-linear regression (MLR) model, and the partial least squares regression (PLS) models, with the weighted learning (WL) method, and the results showed the same trend. The WL method is weighted on the data of the learning set molecules that are similar to the test molecule and improves the prediction accuracy. Bayesian analysis was applied, revealing a simple relationship between aggregation and solubility. Namely, the molecules with LogS > −5 were non-aggregators. In contrast, most of the molecules with LogS < −5 were aggregators. We also made a simple look-up table of probability of aggregation depending on the molecular weight and the number of hetero-atoms.

Keywords: aggregator, frequent hitter, compound library, solubility prediction, generalized-Born accessible-surface area, GBSA
