BACKGROUND
Herbicides, as efficient weed control measures, play a crucial role in ensuring food security. The emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds has negatively affected food security and promoted the demand for new and improved herbicides. The balance between the bioavailability and the potency of the compound is one of the most pressing challenges in the development of novel ideal herbicides. Herbicide-likeness analysis is crucial for the evaluation of this balance and thus may help to address this issue. Many herbicide-likeness analysis methods have been developed to screen potential novel lead compounds. However, there is still a lack of user-friendly and integrated tools to comprehensively evaluate herbicide-likeness.
RESULTS
Herbicide-likeness of compounds was assessed through an integrated analysis incorporating the physicochemical properties of commercial herbicides, a qualitative rule, and three quantitative scoring functions developed for evaluating herbicide-likeness. HerbiPAD (http://agroda.gzu.edu.cn:9999/ccb/database/HerbiPAD/) is a free web platform integrated with the collected database and scoring model. This platform contains 542 approved herbicides and more than 29,000 physicochemical descriptors. The accuracy of HerbiPAD to distinguish known herbicides from nonherbicides was 84.2%. In the case study, HerbiPAD evaluated 60 new compounds from seven different herbicide targets, and the accuracy of predicting better bioavailability was 83.3%.
CONCLUSIONS
HerbiPAD was designed to quickly and efficiently evaluate herbicide-likeness by integrating qualitative and quantitative analyses. The simple and effective interpretation of the analysis interface may help noncomputational experts understand herbicide-likeness.
