Published: April 2010

Many neurodegenerative dementias produce significant alterations in the brain that are often not detectable by neurologic tests or with structural imaging. PET is ideally suited for monitoring cell/molecular events early in the course of a disease as well as during pharmacologic therapy. During the past 2 decades, molecular neuroimaging using PET and magnetic resonance (MR) has advanced elegantly and steadily gained importance in the clinical and research arenas. Software- and hardware-based multimodality brain imaging allowing the correlation between anatomic and molecular information has revolutionized clinical diagnosis and now offers unique capabilities for the clinical neuroimaging community and neuroscience researchers at large.

Most of pharmaceutical agents display a number of biological activities. It is obvious that testing even one compound for thousands of biological activities is not practically possible. A computer-aided prediction is therefore the method of choice in this case to select the most promising bioassays for particular compounds.

The accuracy and performance of (Q)SAR models depend significantly on the data used for training. Datasets prepared on the basis of publicly available databases contain structures belonging to different chemical classes and have a highly imbalanced actives/inactives ratio. Currently, hundreds of structural descriptors are used in (Q)SAR studies.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations typically occur in exons 18-21 and are established driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Targeted therapies are approved for patients with 'classical' mutations and a small number of other mutations. However, effective therapies have not been identified for additional EGFR mutations.
