Machine learning predicts acetylcholinesterase inhibition in small molecules, indicating a key mechanism in neurotoxicity.

The aim is to predict acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity using machine learning models.
Compiled a dataset of 5795 molecules from BindingDB.
Developed fifteen predictive models, including machine learning and deep learning techniques.
Utilized molecular representations from RDKit and PaDEL along with graph-based structures.
Employed late-fusion hybrid framework with leakage-safe stacking for model integration.
Tree-based ensemble methods showed strong performance as baseline models.
Graph Isomorphism Network effectively learned structural patterns linked to inhibition.
The best hybrid model achieved r² = 0.7400 ± 0.0138, outperforming individual models.

Laskar et al. (2026) studied this question.
