MPHGCL-DDI: Meta-Path-Based Heterogeneous Graph Contrastive Learning for Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction.

The combinatorial therapy with multiple drugs may lead to unexpected drug-drug interactions (DDIs) and result in adverse reactions to patients. Predicting DDI events can mitigate the potential risks of combinatorial therapy and enhance drug safety. In recent years, deep models based on heterogeneous graph representation learning have attracted widespread interest in DDI event prediction and have yielded satisfactory results, but there is still room for improvement in prediction performance.

Drug Side-Effect Prediction Via Random Walk on the Signed Heterogeneous Drug Network.

Drug side-effects have become a major public health concern as they are the underlying cause of over a million serious injuries and deaths each year. Therefore, it is of critical importance to detect side-effects as early as possible. Existing computational methods mainly utilize the drug chemical profile and the drug biological profile to predict the side-effects of a drug.

Adverse Drug Reaction Predictions Using Stacking Deep Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding Approach.

Inferring potential adverse drug reactions is an important and challenging task for the drug discovery and healthcare industry. Many previous studies in computational pharmacology have proposed utilizing multi-source drug information to predict drug side effects have and achieved initial success. However, most of the prediction methods mainly rely on direct similarities inferred from drug information and cannot fully utilize the drug information about the impact of protein⁻protein interactions (PPI) on potential drug targets.
