(Single ligand) ADMET-AI aspirin
(Multi mode) ADMET-AI
ADMET-AI is a machine-learning system for estimating small-molecule absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity properties directly from SMILES strings. On ProteinIQ, the current integration runs the ADMET-AI v2 model line with updated training data, updated DrugBank percentile references, and expanded physicochemical alert outputs.
ADMET-AI is typically used during early-stage compound triage, when large libraries need to be prioritized before more expensive synthesis and experimental profiling.
ProteinIQ provides browser-based access to ADMET-AI, so predictions can be generated without local model setup, environment management, or dependency installation.

ADMET-AI v2 uses Chemprop v2 graph neural network models trained across curated ADMET tasks from Therapeutics Data Commons (TDC). Molecules are represented as graphs, and predictions are generated per endpoint across absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity categories.
Compared with older ADMET-AI v1 deployments, the v2 line replaces the earlier Chemprop v1/Chemprop-RDKit model setup, improves compatibility with modern PyTorch environments, and includes updated training/reference datasets. ProteinIQ also exposes the v2 structural alerts (PAINS_alert, BRENK_alert, NIH_alert) in the default results table.
ADMET-AI predictions are endpoint-specific and not all columns share the same scale or clinical interpretation. The most reliable workflow is comparative ranking within a project rather than hard-threshold pass/fail filtering from a single endpoint.
*_percentile columns provide relative context against a DrugBank reference set used by the deployed ADMET-AI resources.
| Percentile range | Typical interpretation |
|---|---|
0-20 | Low relative value vs reference compounds |
20-80 | Mid-range relative value |
80-100 | High relative value vs reference compounds |
Directionality still depends on endpoint semantics. For example, a higher percentile is favorable for some properties and unfavorable for others.
The v2 alert fields are heuristic flags rather than final exclusion rules.
| Alert column | Interpretation |
|---|---|
pains_alert | Flags substructures associated with assay-interference risk. |
brenk_alert | Flags medicinal-chemistry structural liabilities. |
nih_alert | Flags potentially problematic motifs from NIH filter rules. |
pampa_permeability| Distribution | bbb_penetration, plasma_protein_binding, volume_distribution |
| Metabolism | CYP inhibitor/substrate endpoints (cyp1a2_inhibitor, cyp3a4_substrate, etc.) |
| Excretion | half_life, clearance_hepatocyte, clearance_microsome |
| Toxicity | herg_blocker, clinical_toxicity, ames_mutagenicity, dili_hepatotoxicity, ld50_toxicity |
| Percentile context | *_percentile columns relative to DrugBank reference distributions |
