Machine learning and traditional QSAR modeling methods: a case study of known PXR activators

of 0.52 in machine-learning 2D-QSAR. Additionally, a visual summary of the binding pocket of PXR was assembled from the field 3D-QSAR models. By developing multiple QSAR models in this study, a robust groundwork for assessing PXR agonism from various chemical backbones has been established in anticipation of the identification of potential causative agents in complex mixtures.
