Androgen receptor (AR) agonists have strong endocrine disrupting effects in fish. Most studies mainly investigate AR binding capacity using human AR in vitro. However, there is still few methods to rapidly predict AR agonists in aquatic organisms. This study aimed to screen AR agonists of fish species using machine learning and molecular models in water-relevant list from NORMAN, a network of reference laboratories for monitoring contaminants of emerging concern in the environment. In this study, machine learning approaches (e.g., Deep Forest (DF)), Random Forests and artificial neural networks) were applied to predict AR agonists. Zebrafish, fathead minnow, mosquitofish, medaka fish and grass carp are all important aquatic model organisms widely used to evaluate the toxicity of new pollutants, and the molecular models of ARs from these five fish species were constructed to further screen AR agonists using AlphaFold2. The DF method showed the best performances with 0.99 accuracy, 0.97 sensitivity and 1 precision. The Asn705, Gln711, Arg752, and Thr877 residues in human AR and the corresponding sites in ARs from the five fish species were responsible for agonist binding. Overall, 245 substances were predicted as suspect AR agonists in the five fish species, including, certain glucocorticoids, cholesterol metabolites, and cardiovascular drugs in the NORMAN list. Using machine learning and molecular modeling hybrid methods rapidly and accurately screened AR agonists in fish species, and helping evaluate their ecological risk in fish populations.
