Small molecule aggregators non-specifically inhibit multiple unrelated proteins, rendering them therapeutically useless. They frequently appear as false hits and thus need to be eliminated in high-throughput screening campaigns. Computational methods have been explored for identifying aggregators, which have not been tested in screening large compound libraries. We used 1319 aggregators and 128,325 non-aggregators to develop a support vector machines (SVM) aggregator identification model, which was tested by four methods. The first is five fold cross-validation, which showed comparable aggregator and significantly improved non-aggregator identification rates against earlier studies. The second is the independent test of 17 aggregators discovered independently from the training aggregators, 71% of which were correctly identified. The third is retrospective screening of 13M PUBCHEM and 168K MDDR compounds, which predicted 97.9% and 98.7% of the PUBCHEM and MDDR compounds as non-aggregators. The fourth is retrospective screening of 5527 MDDR compounds similar to the known aggregators, 1.14% of which were predicted as aggregators. SVM showed slightly better overall performance against two other machine learning methods based on five fold cross-validation studies of the same settings. Molecular features of aggregation, extracted by a feature selection method, are consistent with published profiles. SVM showed substantial capability in identifying aggregators from large libraries at low false-hit rates
