FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase, which is an important target for anticancer therapy. In this work, we conducted a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on 3867 FLT3 inhibitors we collected. MACCS ngerprints, ECFP4 ngerprints, and TT ngerprints were used to represent the inhibitors in the dataset. A total of 36 classi cation models were built based on support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and deep neural networks (DNN) algorithms. Model 3D_3 built by deep neural networks (DNN) and TT ngerprints performed best on the test set with the highest prediction accuracy of 85.83% and Matthews correlation coe cient (MCC) of 0.72 and also performed well on the external test set.In addition, we clustered 3867 inhibitors into 11 subsets by K-Means algorithm to gure out the structural characteristics of the reported FLT3 inhibitors. Finally, we analyzed the SAR of FLT3 inhibitors by RF algorithm based on ECFP4 ngerprints. The results showed that 2-aminopyrimidine, 1-ethylpiperidine, 2,4bis(methylamino)pyrimidine, amino-aromatic heterocycle, [(2E)-but-2-enyl]dimethylamine, but-2-enyl, and alkynyl were typical fragments among highly active inhibitors. Besides, three scaffolds in Subset_A (Subset 4), Subset_B, and Subset_C showed a signi cant relationship to inhibition activity targeting FLT3.
