HTS Data Analysis Tools: Summary



Hi all
 I promised a summary of responses to my query: "Does anyone have any
 experience that they would be willing to share of tools for HTS data
 analysis, particularly those that aim to help in the analysis of
 (qualitative) SAR?".
 Thanks to all who responded.

 SUMMARY

 ***********************************
 Dear David,
 We used the ClassPharmer suite of programs (http://www.bioreason.com) for
 analysing HTS or virtual screening data.
 It presents the advantage to cluster compounds by chemical scaffolds which
 are calculated on the fly. On the defined classes, you can perform various
 statistical analyses (e.g. scaffold enrichment, score distribution) for
 detecting false positives. The software can be downloaded from the
 Bioreason web site and used for a short evaluation.
 Best regards

 Dear Dr. Clark,
 may we draw your attention to the program SONNIA (formerly KMAP), which
 could be applied to the analysis of data from high-throughput screening
 by using neural networks?
 The method of using neural networks for the classification and
 prediction of biological activity and physicochemical properties (QSAR
 and QSPR) was described in several publications, among these are:
 * J. Sadowski, M. Wagener, J. Gasteiger, Assessing Similarity and
 Diversity of Combinatorial Libraries by Spatial Autocorrelation
 Functions and Neural Networks, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 34,
 2674-2677 (1995)
 * M. Wagener, J. Sadowski, J. Gasteiger, Autocorrelation of Molecular
 Surface Properties for Modeling Corticosteroid Binding Globulin and
 Cytosolic Ah Receptor Activity by Neural Networks, J. Am. Chem. Soc.,
 117, 7769-7775 (1995)
 The program SONNIA was developed to meet the needs of chemists, as it
 provides many features for the visualization of chemical data.
 For more information about this program please visit our websites at
 http://212.168.36.43/software/sonnia/index.html .
 We would be glad to provide you with an evaluation copy of SONNIA free
 of charge for a test period of three months.
 Hope this helps,

 Dear David,
 May be the molecular modeling package of CCG called MOE might be of help.
 It offers a nice binary QUASAR tool which is especially designed for HTSSAR
 data.
 May be you would like to check out the webpage: http://www.chemcomp.com/
 There they have also publications for more details.
 Also, they offer a 3 month evaluation period of their software.
 Best regards,
 Markus.

 Dear David,
 Regarding your HTS SAR analysis tools question on CCL, [SARNavigator from
 Tripos] fits ideally into this category.

 Hi David,
 Pharma Algorithms has developed the Algorithm Builder package
 for building high-throughput screening algorithms using
 SAR analyses based on recursive partitioning as well as fragmental methods.
 I'll spare you the lengthy sales pitch and just point you to the link:
 http://www.ap-algorithms.com/algorithm_builder.htm
 and
 http://www.ap-algorithms.com/qsar_builder.htm
 Please note that Algorithm Builder contains all features of QSAR Builder.
 QSAR builder has numerous tools for SAR, QSAR and QSPR analysis.
 In most cases we will make evaluation copies available to interested users
 for a 45-day period.
 We make available a six-chapter tutorial that walks the user through the
 software
 using real data sets.
 Also, the following page contains PDF files of scientific posters we have
 presented in 2002
 showing how SAR was used by our scientists in building algorithms for
 Human Intestinal Permeation (qualitative filter) PGP substrate specificty
 (qualitative)
 and Acute Toxicity (qualitative and quantitative) among others:
 http://www.ap-algorithms.com/presentations.htm
 Let me know if you need any more information. I would be happy to oblige.
 Very best regards,
 Darius
