Medicinal chemistry and drug design efforts can be assisted by machine learning (ML) models that relate the molecular structure to compound properties. Such quantitative structure-property relationship models are generally trained on large data sets that include diverse chemical series (global models). In the pharmaceutical industry, these ML global models are available across discovery projects as an "out-of-the-box" solution to assist in drug design, synthesis prioritization, and experiment selection.

However, pathological fatigue is a major debilitating symptom associated with overwhelming feelings of physical and mental exhaustion. It is a well-recognized manifestation in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as Sjögren's Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and an important predictor of patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

ML algorithms are trained on molecular structures and corresponding ADME assay data to develop quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models. Traditional QSPR models were trained on compound sets of limited size.
