CardioSafe ion-channel benchmark
Curated multi-task ion-channel labels + Tanimoto-controlled splits + supplementary materials for CardioSafe: multi-task prediction of cardiac ion channel activity with reverse-leak audited benchmarking (Jovanović et al., 2026, bioRxiv).
The canonical source is the
CardioSafe-benchmark GitHub repository.
This HF Datasets repo mirrors data/ from that deposit and adds
pre-joined per-fold Parquet shards so you can write:
from datasets import load_dataset
# v1.1 (audit-clean) test fold on the tan70 Tanimoto cutoff:
ds = load_dataset("appliedscientific/cardiosafe-benchmark",
"tan70_v1_1", split="test")
print(ds.column_names)
# ['row_idx', 'smiles', 'inchikey', 'herg_pchembl', 'herg_blocker_10um',
# 'herg_blocker_1um', 'nav15_pchembl', 'nav15_blocker', 'cav12_pchembl',
# 'cav12_blocker', 'iks_blocker']
Each row is one curated compound. Label columns are NaN-sparse — only those compounds with primary-screen evidence for the relevant channel have non-null values.
Configs (pre-joined splits)
| Config | Split strategy | Version | Compounds (train / val / test) |
|---|---|---|---|
tan70_v1_0 |
Tanimoto ≥ 0.70 cutoff | v1.0 preprint | 241,792 / 46,326 / 46,326 |
tan60_v1_0 |
Tanimoto ≥ 0.60 cutoff | v1.0 preprint | 306,665 / 13,889 / 13,889 |
tan70_v1_1 |
Tanimoto ≥ 0.70 cutoff | v1.1 retrain | 241,790 / 46,328 / 46,326 |
tan60_v1_1 |
Tanimoto ≥ 0.60 cutoff | v1.1 retrain | 306,662 / 13,892 / 13,889 |
v1.1 differs from v1.0 by 2 force-routed analogs in the cardiac-cliff
cluster (terfenadine/fexofenadine/HMT). The test fold is identical
across v1.0 and v1.1 — paper Table 2/3 metrics are unchanged. See
supplementary/note_s3_v1_1_audit_correction.md.
Label schema
| Column | Head | Type |
|---|---|---|
herg_pchembl |
regression — hERG pIC50 | float |
herg_blocker_10um |
hERG blocker @ 10 µM | binary {0, 1} |
herg_blocker_1um |
hERG blocker @ 1 µM | binary {0, 1} |
nav15_pchembl |
regression — Nav1.5 pIC50 | float |
nav15_blocker |
Nav1.5 blocker @ 10 µM | binary {0, 1} |
cav12_pchembl |

cav12_blocker |
Cav1.2 blocker @ 10 µM | binary {0, 1} |
iks_blocker |
IKs blocker @ 10 µM (exploratory) | binary {0, 1} |
IKs has no regression head (n = 115 labelled compounds; treated as exploratory).
Per-channel label counts (primary binary head, all folds combined):
| Channel | n labelled | n blockers |
|---|---|---|
| hERG (10 µM) | 331,127 | 11,881 |
| Nav1.5 (10 µM) | 3,160 | 1,240 |
| Cav1.2 (10 µM) | 1,138 | 548 |
| IKs (10 µM) | 115 | 30 |

Comparators
comparators/ ships the CToxPred2 and CardioGenAI predictions on the
v1.0 tan70 test fold, the inputs to the reverse-leak audit and the
head-to-head comparison in paper Tables 3 / 3b / S2 / S3 / Figure 4.
Supplementary materials
supplementary/ ships verbatim:
- Notes S1, S2, S3 — Y-randomization mechanism; activity-cliff curation provenance + bibliography + per-pair composition + filtered cliff manifests; audit-driven v1.1 correction + retrain metrics + the cardiac-cliff case study
- Tables S0, S1, S2, S3, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9 — descriptor spec, per-head confusion matrices, comparator panels pre/post de-leak, tan60 drug panel, failure-mode SMILES, AD per-bin metrics, L1000 threshold sweep, curation sensitivity (no S4 — paper supplementary numbering jumps S3 → S5)
- Figure S1 — hERG reliability curves across applicability-domain bins (PDF + PNG + JSON of the underlying decile data)
Source data
- Labels are derived from ChEMBL 36 (source dump SHA-256
b25820eef0f0481ad7712bdf4bac3b45f354e3cbacb76be1fdbf4205d6b48fb9, available from https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/) and the hERG Central primary screen, under a pharmacology-aware curation policy that retains censored values and inhibition-percentage votes. Full provenance lives inraw/labels_MANIFEST.json. - Splits are Tanimoto-controlled across train / val / test on
Morgan-r2-2048 fingerprints, with terfenadine and fexofenadine
force-routed to
valso the canonical cardiac activity cliff is available as a held-out case study. v1.1 additionally force-routes the hydroxymethyl-terfenadine analogs flagged by an exhaustive O(n_train × n_other) Tanimoto leakage audit (scripts/audit_tanimoto_leak.pyin the GitHub repo).
