Each of the 1,152 strategies that caused the DIKB to perform optimally in terms of sensitivity, positive predictive value, and agreement with the validation set caused the system to make the same 34 interaction predictions that were confirmed by the validation set.

Asterisks indicate the drug or drug metabolite that the system predicts will be the object of the interaction.

The DIKB’s magnitude estimate did not correspond with validation set data

The DIKB also predicted a metabolic inhibition interaction at the AUCiAUC=(0,1.3) level with clarithromycin as the object drug.
