Identification of average molecular weight (AMW) as a useful chemical descriptor to discriminate liver injury-inducing drugs.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is one of major causes of discontinuing drug development and withdrawing drugs from the market. In this study, we investigated chemical properties associated with DILI using in silico methods, to identify a physicochemical property useful for DILI screening at the ea...
