Abstract
The drug discovery process is far from optimal; only 1 in 10 compounds selected for development successfully reach the clinical trial phase. In an attempt to improve the efficiency of this process, we have applied feature analysis techniques to polypeptide spectral data from the liver of rats that have been exposed to various dosages of pharmaceuticals. Our goal is to use these techniques to predict the toxicity of a compound in vivo and help eliminate potentially dangerous pharmaceuticals from advancing past early stages of discovery.
