The invention discloses a
small molecule drug metabolism and
toxicity prediction method based on
quantum chemistry, and belongs to the field of
drug research and development. The method comprises the following steps: constructing a
data set containing molecular structure,
metabolism and
toxicity data of the small-molecular
drug; optimizing a molecular
structure based on
quantum chemistry, and calculating parameters such as front track energy and charge distribution; constructing a
metabolic pathway prediction model through Monte Carlo
simulation in combination with the parameters and a
biotransformation rule, and outputting potential metabolites and pathway probabilities; integrating
quantum chemical parameters, molecular fingerprints and physicochemical properties, training a
toxicity prediction sub-model by using a
gradient boosting tree
algorithm, and outputting a toxicity probability value and type; and integrating results to generate a correlation prediction report, and verifying the model through an external
test set. The method improves the prediction precision, reduces the experiment cost, shortens the research and
development period, and provides a tool for the safety evaluation of candidate drugs.
