Quantitative Structure–Price Relationship (QS$R) Modeling and the Development of Economically Feasible Drug Discovery Projects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In recent years, the field of quantitative structure-activity/property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) modeling has developed into a stable technology capable of reliably predicting new bioactive molecules. With the availability of inexpensive commercial sources of both synthetic chemicals and bioactivity assays, a cheminformatics-savvy scientist can readily establish a virtual drug discovery enterprise. A skilled computational chemist can not only develop a computer-aided drug discovery pipeline but also acquire or have the drug candidates made inexpensively for economical screening of desired on-target activity, critical off-target effects, and essential drug-likeness properties. As part of our drug discovery pipeline, a novel machine-learning model was built to relate chemical structures of synthetically accessible molecules to their prices. The model was trained from our "in stock" and "made on demand" diverse chemical entities, ranging in price from $20 to >$10,000. This novel model is encoded here as the quantitative structure-price relationship (QS$R) model.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
