Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.371 and 356.457 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (86.92) is better than Ligand B (49.41), being below 140, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B is exceptionally low, which could be a concern for potency.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.745) is optimal, while Ligand B (3.355) is slightly higher but still within the acceptable range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 7 HBA, which is good. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.786 and 0.793), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (74.99) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.779). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.143) has reasonable BBB penetration, while Ligand B (89.298) is even better. However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.704 and -4.577), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.011 and -3.527), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.254) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.677), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.678) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.397), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a strong advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.413) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.409), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.168) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.145), which is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME liabilities.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's superior binding affinity, the combination of significantly lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) for Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The stronger binding of Ligand B is attractive, but the higher DILI risk is a major red flag.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.418 and 349.475 Da) are within the ideal range (200-500 Da).
**TPSA:** Both ligands (64.79 and 65.79) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is positive.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.236 and 2.203) fall within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 4 HBA, well within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.906 and 0.855), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (22.063 and 21.093 percentile), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (93.059) has a significantly higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (63.94). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it doesn't detract from its profile.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.796) has a slightly worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.866), but both are negative values, indicating relatively poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.134) has slightly worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.347), but both are negative values, indicating relatively poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.721 and 0.746 percentile).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.729 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (0.305 mL/min/kg). This means Ligand B is predicted to have much better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (34.501 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (27.795 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.066 and 0.194 percentile).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.7 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The longer half-life of Ligand A also contributes to its favorability. The slight differences in solubility and permeability are less critical given the strong potency and acceptable overall profile of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, focusing on the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight (MW):** Both ligands (346.471 and 340.427 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (69.64 and 67.23) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands (2.006 and 1.334) are within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly more hydrophilic.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (2 and 1, respectively), well below the limit of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (3 and 4, respectively), well below the limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.591 and 0.826), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is better here.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (36.642) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.556). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (62.854 and 62.35). Not a major factor for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.61 and -4.844). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability, but are likely on a log scale where negative values indicate low permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.476 and -3.084). These values are also unusual and suggest poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.358 and 0.258).
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand B (24.702) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (30.58), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (-25.176) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-4.32). Again, these values are unusual and likely on a log scale.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.219 and 0.127).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.2 and -7.0 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 0.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Comparison:**
* **Affinity:** Similar.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand B is better (lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but Ligand B is slightly better.
* **DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk.
* **Half-life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk and longer half-life of Ligand A are more valuable than the slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand B. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (376.475 and 363.523 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.8) is better than Ligand B (42.68). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is exceptionally low, which *could* indicate poor binding due to lack of necessary polar interactions.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.372) is suboptimal, potentially leading to poor permeability. Ligand B (4.22) is high, potentially causing solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 6 HBA) is better balanced. Ligand B (0 HBD, 4 HBA) has very few hydrogen bond donors, which could be problematic for binding to the kinase active site.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.538 and 0.487), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.301) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (27.142), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (77.239) is better than Ligand A (67.197). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.107) has a significantly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.741), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.015 mL/min/kg) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (89.613 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.272 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (44.325 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.022) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.75), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol), although the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While its logP is slightly low, its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux, and slightly better binding affinity outweigh the concerns about its logP and solubility. Ligand B's high logP and very high clearance are major drawbacks. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility for both compounds are concerning and would require further investigation, but the other factors strongly favor Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.0 and -8.3 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk, better solubility, and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, despite having a slightly shorter half-life and slightly lower binding affinity. The lower DILI is a critical factor, and the other improvements in ADME properties make it a more promising candidate. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, the high DILI risk is a substantial concern.

**DILI:** Ligand A (79.643) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (57.658). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (58.007) has a better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (36.371), but BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS exposure is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.346 and -5.395), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.874) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-1.422), although both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.039) has a very low hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.149) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-8.568) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.099), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.605) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (22), suggesting a slower degradation rate and potentially less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.021) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.062), which is beneficial for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI risk, its superior binding affinity, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and better solubility outweigh the concerns. The strong binding affinity is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While both have poor Caco-2 permeability, the other advantages of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (28.3%) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (39.9%). This is a substantial advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B is slightly better (73.8% vs 59.4%).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the values are similar (-5.13 and -4.38) and likely indicate poor permeability. This is a drawback for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the values are similar (-2.91 and -2.28).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both have low hERG inhibition risk (0.152 and 0.237).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.7 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.1 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Both have similar and negative in vitro half-lives (-8.595 and -8.192 hours). This is a concern for both, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.07 and 0.048).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol), a 0.4 kcal/mol difference. While affinity is crucial, the difference is not large enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme targets (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) than Ligand B. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, the difference is small, and the advantages of Ligand A in safety and metabolic stability are more important for a kinase inhibitor. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can be addressed in later stages of optimization.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.717 and 0.863), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 90.733, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 55.68, which is still not ideal but significantly better.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration (81.582) than Ligand A (17.642), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.405 and -4.859), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.516 and -3.611), which is also concerning and indicates poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.022) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.656) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.921) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.112), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.784) has a very short in vitro half-life, indicating rapid metabolism. Ligand B (-11.308) has a longer half-life, but still relatively short.

The difference in binding affinity (1.4 kcal/mol) is substantial, but not insurmountable, and can potentially be optimized in subsequent iterations. The ADME issues with Ligand B are much harder to fix.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinity (-8.0 and -9.1 kcal/mol respectively). Ligand B has a 1.1 kcal/mol advantage in binding affinity, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate overall. Its significantly lower DILI risk and substantially improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are crucial advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The solubility and permeability concerns are present in both, but metabolic stability and safety are paramount. The 1.1 kcal/mol difference in binding can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A, whereas mitigating the higher DILI and lower metabolic stability of Ligand B would be more challenging.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (363.351 and 365.905 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (55.4) is better than Ligand B (61.38), both are acceptable, but lower is generally preferred for permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.699 and 3.462), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is slightly better than Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.414 and 0.752), with Ligand B being significantly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (39.511 and 37.922), indicating minimal liver injury potential.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (87.088) is better than Ligand B (63.164). However, BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.356) is better than Ligand B (-5.391), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.261) is better than Ligand B (-3.575), which is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.891 and 0.91), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (30.274) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (60.666), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (109.046) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (27.368), further supporting its superior metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.251 and 0.771).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and a difference of 1.1 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better permeability and solubility, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -9.0 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) outweigh these minor advantages. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (370.431 and 362.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (123.41) is better than Ligand B (112.92) as it is closer to the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.403) is slightly lower than optimal (1-3), potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (1.271) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (3 HBD, 8 HBA) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, potentially improving permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.677 and 0.576), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.434) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (63.862), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (38.193) is slightly higher.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values (-5.472 and -5.609), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.059 and -2.726), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.033) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.282), a critical advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-12.228) exhibits significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.053), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.575) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (19.657), which is a disadvantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.6 kcal/mol), which are excellent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior despite the shorter half-life. The significantly lower DILI risk, much lower hERG inhibition, and substantially improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) outweigh the slightly lower logP and shorter half-life. The similar binding affinities mean potency is not a differentiating factor. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as appropriate for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.519 and 350.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (69.64) is well below the 140 threshold and favorable for absorption. Ligand B (78.87) is also acceptable, though slightly higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.861) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.79) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation, but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 4, both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.6 (0.706 and 0.635), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (7.949) has a very low DILI risk. Ligand B (12.369) is also relatively low, but higher than A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (74.37) is higher than Ligand B (46.84).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.649 and -4.783). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so a more negative value indicates *lower* permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.498 and -1.397), indicating poor aqueous solubility. Again, these are on a log scale, so more negative means lower solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.454) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.205), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.674) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (14.475), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.031) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (12.562). Again, these are on a log scale, so a more negative value indicates a longer half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.184) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.017), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (2.3 kcal/mol), and is a major factor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor permeability and solubility for both compounds, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol vs -6.9 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to potentially overcome ADME challenges through formulation or structural modifications. Ligand A has better ADME properties, but the potency difference is too large to ignore for an enzyme target.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.537) is poor, suggesting very low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.45) is also poor, but slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.349 and -1.069). This could pose formulation challenges, but is not a deal-breaker if other properties are strong.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG risk (0.114 and 0.44).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-19.179) shows significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.522), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.826) shows a very long half-life, while Ligand B (-17.884) is shorter.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux (0.006 and 0.055).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.1 kcal/mol), both of which are excellent. The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't heavily sway the decision.

**DILI:** Ligand A (16.906) has a moderate DILI risk, but is still acceptable. Ligand B (10.702) has a lower DILI risk, which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (51.221) is better than Ligand A (30.71).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.106 and 0.171), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.519) has a higher Cl_mic than Ligand B (30.065), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.578) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B (-4.193) also has a negative half-life, also indicating a problem with the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.016 and 0.013), which is good.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower P-gp efflux, but suffers from higher DILI risk and significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2). Both compounds have poor solubility and permeability. The difference in binding affinity (-0.5 kcal/mol) is significant. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved potency of Ligand A is the most important factor. While the ADME properties of both are suboptimal, the stronger binding of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate, assuming further optimization can address the metabolic stability and solubility issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (365.352 and 348.364 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (102.66) is better than Ligand B (26.3). While both are below 140, Ligand B is exceptionally low, which *could* indicate poor interactions with the kinase hinge region.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.585) is suboptimal, being slightly below the preferred 1-3 range. Ligand B (4.862) is too high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 2 HBA, also acceptable, but potentially indicating lower aqueous solubility.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.655 and 0.74), suggesting good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (25.048) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.852), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (87.127) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (61.535), but this isn't a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.801) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.337) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.856) has better solubility than Ligand B (-5.835). This is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.427) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.869). This is a crucial factor for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.778) has significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) than Ligand B (67.336). This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.8 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (26.106 hours). While longer is generally preferred, the substantial difference in clearance for Ligand A makes this less critical.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.021) has much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.515), improving bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the significant concerns regarding its high logP, higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and very high microsomal clearance outweigh this benefit. Ligand A, while having a weaker binding affinity, presents a much more favorable ADME-Tox profile, particularly with its low DILI and hERG risks, and better metabolic stability. The improved solubility and lower P-gp efflux also contribute to its potential for better bioavailability. Therefore, Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (380.348 and 375.965 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (117.09) is better than Ligand B (12.47). While both are relatively low, Ligand B is exceptionally low, which *could* indicate poor solubility.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.428) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.971) is high. High logP can lead to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (0) is also acceptable, but very low.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is acceptable, while Ligand B (3) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.628 and 0.677), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (81.117) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.436). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (52.385) and Ligand B (95.851). BBB is not a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors as it is not a CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.332 and -5.227), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-3.009 and -4.57), indicating very poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.46) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.956), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.454) has lower clearance than Ligand B (53.375), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-24.126) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (9.973) is acceptable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.135) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.884), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4), but the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and a more reasonable half-life. However, its high logP, higher DILI risk, and higher P-gp efflux are concerning. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. The biggest issue with Ligand A is the very high DILI risk and the impossible half-life value. The solubility of both is extremely poor.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and hERG risk are crucial. While Ligand A's DILI is a major concern, its metabolic stability is significantly better. The small difference in binding affinity is unlikely to outweigh the ADME advantages of Ligand A *if* the DILI risk can be addressed through structural modifications. However, the negative half-life is a data quality issue that needs to be resolved.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite the slightly lower binding affinity. Its significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), very low hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the slightly weaker binding. Ligand A's poor solubility and permeability, coupled with moderate DILI and hERG risk, make it a less viable option. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data error, but even ignoring that, the other ADME properties are much better.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-0.003 and -2.031). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.208) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.744), which is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-51.293) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.639), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.257) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-31.163), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.014) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.132), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5kcal/mol.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADMET properties, particularly regarding DILI risk, hERG inhibition, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and P-gp efflux. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both. However, the substantial advantage in safety (DILI and hERG) and metabolic stability for Ligand A, combined with acceptable (though not ideal) binding affinity, makes it the more promising candidate. The stronger binding of Ligand B is tempting, but the higher risk profile is concerning.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.4 and 350.3 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (90.7) is slightly above the preferred <90 for CNS targets, but acceptable. Ligand B (79.3) is well within the range.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.53 and 2.88) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is good. Ligand B (2) is also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is good. Ligand B (3) is good.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.667 and 0.889), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.8) is preferable to Ligand B (90.5) as it has a lower DILI risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (74.3) is better than Ligand B (57.6).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP-scale values, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand A (-4.71) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.97).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logS-scale values, lower values indicate poorer solubility. Ligand A (-3.23) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.59).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.57 and 0.053), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-8.17) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (25.46). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-43.53) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (21.41), indicating greater stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.21 and 0.023), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better DILI score and BBB penetration, Ligand B excels in key areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a substantially stronger binding affinity. The slightly higher DILI risk of Ligand B is likely manageable given the potency advantage and improved stability.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.408 and 343.471 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (78.43 and 71.09) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands (2.305 and 3.146) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, and Ligand B has 2. Both are acceptable (<=5).
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBA, well within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.579 and 0.747), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (18.883) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (27.336). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, Ligand A (77.239) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (59.287).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.745 and -4.938). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a logarithmic scale and likely indicate very low permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.943 and -2.261). Again, these are likely on a logarithmic scale and indicate poor aqueous solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.362 and 0.237).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (24.471) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (36.091), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.87) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-24.655). The negative value for Ligand A is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.11 and 0.055).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is notable, but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, negative t1/2) and poor solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability, solubility, and a longer half-life, but a slightly weaker binding affinity and higher DILI risk.
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The improved metabolic stability and half-life are crucial for *in vivo* efficacy, and the slightly weaker binding affinity can potentially be optimized in later stages of drug development. The DILI risk is moderate but manageable. The solubility issues of both compounds need to be addressed, but Ligand B is slightly better in this regard.

**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and requires further investigation.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.652) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.881) is also elevated. Both are concerning.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (55.862) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (39.072) has a lower clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. This favors Ligand B.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (26.62) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (13.335), which is a positive for dosing convenience.
**14. Pgp:** Ligand A (0.388) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.124) has very low P-gp efflux, even more favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (0.0) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and longer half-life, but suffers from a very high DILI risk and a slightly elevated hERG risk. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability, and lower P-gp efflux, but weaker binding affinity.
Given the critical importance of avoiding hepatotoxicity (DILI) in drug development, and the fact that the affinity difference isn't *massive* (0 vs -8 kcal/mol), the lower DILI risk of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate. While the lower affinity of Ligand B is a drawback, it could potentially be addressed through further optimization. The high DILI risk of Ligand A is a more difficult problem to overcome.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (381.929 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (367.475 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.09) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and is quite favorable. Ligand B (119.23) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.392) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (1.797) is at the lower end, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=4) is better balanced than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=7). Higher HBA can sometimes reduce permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.821, B: 0.618), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (49.942) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (88.484). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (A: 56.495, B: 63.746). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but the negative value for A is slightly less extreme.
**Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also concerning. Again, A is slightly better (-4.253 vs -3.776).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.337) shows a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.774). This is a crucial advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (70.406) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (36.87). Lower clearance is preferred for better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (25.43) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-4.113). This is a positive attribute for A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.362, B: 0.099).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage for B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, shorter half-life, and higher hERG inhibition liability. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (DILI, hERG, clearance, half-life, solubility, permeability), but its affinity is weaker.
The difference in binding affinity (1.6 kcal/mol) is substantial. While the ADME profile of Ligand A is more favorable, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful in driving efficacy. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising candidate, *assuming* that the ADME liabilities can be addressed through further optimization.

However, it suffers from a higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic), and a negative in vitro half-life. Ligand A has a better safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability, a positive half-life, and a higher QED score. The large difference in binding affinity (-8.5 vs 0.0) is very significant. While Ligand A has a better ADME profile, the potency of Ligand B is so much higher that it is likely to be a better starting point for optimization.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.35) is slightly higher than Ligand B (86.94), but both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.92) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (0.54) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 6 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.822) has a substantially higher QED score than Ligand A (0.515), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (6.863) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (55.991). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (9.965) is lower than Ligand B (42.807).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.477) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.896).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.32) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.961), but both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.12) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.657). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-8.994) has a much *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-22.819), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.33 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (2.125 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show minimal P-gp efflux liability (0.002 and 0.012 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-10.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's still a positive for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic), DILI risk, and hERG inhibition. However, it suffers from poor solubility and permeability. Ligand B has a better QED score, logP, and significantly longer half-life, but carries a higher DILI and hERG risk.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and potency are key. Ligand A's superior metabolic stability and acceptable affinity, coupled with lower toxicity risks (DILI, hERG), outweigh the solubility/permeability concerns, especially as those can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.82 and -5.058). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and negative values are not uncommon, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.687 and -1.973). This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.07) has very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.36) is also low, but slightly higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-15.012) has a very low (and negative) microsomal clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (39.88) has a moderate clearance.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.892) has a very long in vitro half-life, again indicating excellent stability. Ligand B (0.974) has a short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.002 and 0.139).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.7 kcal/mol, which is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) and hERG risk, but suffers from low logP and solubility, and lower binding affinity. Ligand B has better logP, solubility, and a slightly better binding affinity, but its metabolic stability is a concern. The binding affinity difference is significant enough to potentially overcome the metabolic stability concern, especially if further optimization can address it. The poor solubility of both is a major concern that would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the slightly better binding affinity and more favorable logP of Ligand B, combined with acceptable (though not ideal) ADME properties, make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.479 and 347.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (79.26 and 75.44) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is positive.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (1.857 and 2.625) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.676 and 0.769), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (22.8 and 21.985 percentiles), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (79.721 and 71.501 percentiles), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.066 and -4.785), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.711 and -1.501), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.264 and 0.059 percentiles), which is highly desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (25.807 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (57.997 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life (34.392 hours) than Ligand B (-12.091 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation. This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.022 and 0.092 percentiles), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a 1.4 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The primary reasons are its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and the problematic negative half-life value for Ligand B. While both have poor solubility and permeability, metabolic stability is crucial for kinase inhibitors. The 1.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can potentially be overcome with further optimization, while fixing the poor metabolic profile of Ligand B would be more challenging.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.785) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.575), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.266) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.673), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (65.18) is higher than Ligand B (35.401), but neither is a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.091 and -5.192). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading. We'll need to consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.111 and -0.978), again suggesting poor solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.322) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.034), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-4.439) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (27.004). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.299) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-12.117). Again, this favors Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.051 and 0.007).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower clearance, longer half-life, lower DILI, lower hERG), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.1 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The poor solubility and permeability indicated by the Caco-2 and solubility values are concerns, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher affinity suggests Ligand A might achieve efficacy at lower doses, potentially mitigating some of the ADME issues.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (57.464) and Ligand B (49.128) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.973 and -5.198), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.957 and -2.008), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.164 and 0.071). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.68) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-4.857). A negative value for Ligand B suggests very high metabolic stability, which is highly desirable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.149) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (-2.039) also has a negative half-life, which is also not possible. This suggests issues with the data or the compounds themselves.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux liability (0.028 and 0.047).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 2.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.7 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. Furthermore, its negative microsomal clearance suggests excellent metabolic stability, which is crucial. While both have issues with solubility and permeability, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The negative half-life values are concerning and should be investigated, but the overall profile of Ligand B is superior.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.451 and 364.511 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (107.7) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (78.43) is well within the range.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.102) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.586) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 3 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 4, both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.55 and 0.695 respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.067) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (48.313) is higher, but still within an acceptable range (below 60).
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.536) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-4.938) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.656) has poor aqueous solubility, which could cause formulation issues. Ligand B (-3.927) is even worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.046) has very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.419) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.86) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (62.868), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (19.955) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (42.279).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.024 and 0.272 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.6 and -8.8 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity, Ligand A suffers from poor logP, Caco-2 permeability, and aqueous solubility. Ligand B has better logP and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but higher DILI and worse solubility. However, the significantly lower microsomal clearance of Ligand A is a major advantage for an enzyme target, suggesting better *in vivo* exposure. The very low hERG risk for Ligand A is also a strong positive. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A outweigh the slightly lower logP and solubility.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (357.451 and 366.487 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (97.92 and 93.21) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but higher than the 90 A^2 for CNS targets (not a priority here).
**3. logP:** Both ligands (1.394 and 1.318) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (2) both meet the HBD <=5 criteria.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) and Ligand B (6) both meet the HBA <=10 criteria.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (27.142) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.303). This is a substantial advantage.
**8. BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (82.009) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (61.613), but this is less critical.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.636) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.342).
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.076) has a slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.224).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.253 and 0.075).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (29.386 and 28.098 mL/min/kg), indicating comparable metabolic stability.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having issues with solubility and permeability, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, much lower DILI risk, improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life), and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the concerns about its low logP and permeability. Ligand A's extremely high DILI risk is a deal-breaker. While both would require significant medicinal chemistry work to improve solubility and permeability, Ligand B provides a much stronger starting point due to its potency and safety profile.

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (47.266) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (23.032). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (8.143) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (50.795) is moderate. Not a major concern for an oncology target, but a slight edge to B.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.695) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.793) is better, but still not great.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.205) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-2.224) is also poor. Both are problematic.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.244 and 0.291). No significant difference.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (-22.296) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.745), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.

14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.079). No significant difference.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.2) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4). This is a major advantage for Ligand B (a 1.8 kcal/mol difference).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzyme targets like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability, Ligand B excels in several critical areas: significantly higher binding affinity, a better logP, lower DILI risk, and a much longer half-life. The substantial improvement in binding affinity outweighs the slightly poorer metabolic stability and solubility. The poor solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed in formulation, but the potency and safety profile of Ligand B make it a more promising starting point.

**DILI:** Ligand A (32.105) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.75), which is preferable. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (60.45) is higher than Ligand B (43.117).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are log scale values, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand A (-5.458) is better than Ligand B (-5.715).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are log scale values, lower values indicate poorer solubility. Ligand A (-0.551) is better than Ligand B (-1.881).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.425 and 0.08, respectively), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-14.387) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-16.471). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.798) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (7.29), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.026 and 0.018, respectively).

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.3 kcal/mol, which is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate. It has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux, and a more favorable DILI profile. The negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand A make it the better choice. The half-life value for Ligand A is clearly erroneous and would need to be corrected.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.5 and 354.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is significantly better than Ligand B (87.66). A TPSA under 140 is desired for oral absorption, and both meet this, but A is much closer to the optimal range for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.30) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.47) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=2) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=4) as it has fewer hydrogen bonding groups, which generally improves permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.628 and 0.554), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (29.24) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (10.24), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (73.67) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (57.74).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.821) is better than Ligand B (-4.716), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.446) is better than Ligand B (-2.06), which is important for formulation and bioavailability.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.131 and 0.086), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). While A is better, the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, DILI, solubility, Caco-2), and has a good binding affinity. However, its metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life) is a concern. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and a significantly longer half-life, but suffers from a higher DILI risk, lower logP, and higher TPSA.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the longer half-life of Ligand B is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing its slightly higher DILI risk and less favorable logP/TPSA. The difference in binding affinity is not large enough to overcome the ADME advantages of ligand B.

**BBB:** Ligand A (46.336) and Ligand B (85.459). BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor, but B is better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.833 and -4.809), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values are not directly comparable without knowing the scale.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.752 and -3.35). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.468) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.602), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.906) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.968), meaning it's less metabolically stable. Lower clearance is preferred for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.14 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (2.625 hours). Longer half-life is generally desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.099) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.142), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of 2.3 kcal/mol is very significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better P-gp efflux, its high DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance are major concerns. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and improved metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is weaker. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. The large difference in binding affinity is a strong point for ligand A, but the DILI risk is too high.

Both ligands have poor solubility and permeability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI) and potentially better metabolic stability, but its significantly weaker binding affinity is a major disadvantage.
Given the critical importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and assuming the binding affinity data is reliable, the superior binding of Ligand A outweighs its higher DILI risk *provided* that the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The poor solubility of both compounds is a concern that would need to be addressed in subsequent optimization.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (94.959) has a high DILI risk, exceeding the 60% threshold. Ligand B (35.983) has a low DILI risk, well below the 40% threshold. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (83.831 and 73.75), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we'll proceed assuming these represent low permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, we'll assume this indicates poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.758) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.483), but both are relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (65.704) has a higher Cl_mic than Ligand B (16.745), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.645) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.055), which could translate to better bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.7 kcal/mol and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For kinase inhibitors, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly longer half-life and lower P-gp efflux, its significantly higher DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance are major drawbacks. Ligand B's lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability outweigh the slight disadvantages in half-life and P-gp efflux. The similar binding affinities mean that the ADME properties are the deciding factors.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.025 and -5.66), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-4.518 and -1.489), also unusual and suggesting poor solubility. Again, the absolute values are similar.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.465) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.238), meaning lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.028) has a much better microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-21.345). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (74.025) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-22.519). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.

Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, longer half-life, lower hERG), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker and its logP is problematic.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate *despite* the DILI risk. The potency advantage is large enough that further optimization could potentially address the DILI issue. It's easier to modify a molecule to reduce toxicity than to significantly improve its binding affinity.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (116.76) is slightly above the optimal <140 for good oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (70.07) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.546) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.727) is very good, within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (4) and Ligand B (3) both meet the <=5 criteria.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (5) meet the <=10 criteria.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.414 and 0.53), indicating reasonable drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (17.449) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (56.727), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (80.031) has better BBB penetration, but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.482 and -5.051), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential issue for both, but the scale is unclear.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-1.253 and -4.03), again unusual and suggesting poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both compounds, but Ligand B appears worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.056) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, a major advantage. Ligand B (0.919) has a higher, though not alarming, risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.467) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (69.218), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (34.465) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (2.138). This is a positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.003) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.409) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. Despite the concerning negative Caco-2 and solubility values (which need further investigation), its significantly superior binding affinity (-9.1 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) and lower DILI and microsomal clearance outweigh the drawbacks. The low hERG risk is also a significant benefit. Ligand B has a better half-life and logP, but its much weaker binding affinity and higher DILI risk make it less promising. The solubility and permeability issues for both are red flags that would require addressing in further optimization, but the potency of A is a strong starting point.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8). However, the difference is only 1 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is superior in almost all other critical ADME properties. The most significant advantage of Ligand A is its much lower hERG inhibition risk. Ligand B's significantly higher microsomal clearance is a major drawback for a kinase inhibitor, potentially leading to rapid metabolism and reduced efficacy.

While both have strong binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better safety profiles (lower DILI and hERG) and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2). The slightly poorer Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A is a concern, but potentially manageable. Ligand B's negative half-life is a major issue.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (371.449 and 371.84 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (54.45) is better than Ligand B (65.79). Both are acceptable, but A is closer to the preferred <140 for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.856 and 1.942), falling within the 1-3 optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 4 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.8 and 0.881), indicating a strong drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.83) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.889), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (95.89) has significantly better BBB penetration than Ligand B (61.846). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a positive attribute.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.422) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.965). Lower values are less desirable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.217) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.744). Both are acceptable.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.681 and 0.508), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** This is a critical parameter for enzymes. Ligand A (41.86) has significantly *higher* microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-33.345). This means Ligand B is much more metabolically stable. A negative value for Cl_mic is excellent.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.107 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-0.011 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.657 and 0.062), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.6 and -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.6 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and BBB penetration, Ligand B is significantly superior in terms of metabolic stability (much lower Cl_mic and longer half-life). Given that SRC is a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability is a crucial factor. The better solubility of Ligand A is a minor advantage compared to the substantial metabolic benefits of Ligand B. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 63.746, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 32.067, which is preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.229) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (52.579).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.299) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.75) is also poor, but slightly better.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.151 and 0.32).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity, a significantly lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While its Caco-2 permeability and solubility are also slightly better, its half-life is problematic. However, the strong binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, and could potentially be optimized with further modifications. Ligand A has a better hERG profile and half-life, but its weak binding affinity makes it a less promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.483 and 337.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is better than Ligand B (62.3), being closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (3.285 and 2.754) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the threshold of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.737 and 0.933), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (20.396) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.477). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (72.392 and 78.519), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual. We'll assume these are percentile scores and that higher is better, so both are poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. We'll assume these are percentile scores and that higher is better, so both are poor.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.659 and 0.555).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (79.688) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (18.337), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.516) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (11.128). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.172 and 0.175).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol), although both are excellent. The 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a better TPSA and similar logP, the significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B make it the more promising drug candidate. The solubility and permeability are poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The DILI and metabolic stability issues with Ligand A are more difficult to overcome.

**BBB:** Ligand A (50.64) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (83.25). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.16) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand B (-4.96) also has a negative value, but is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.83 and -2.37), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.074) has a very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.539) has a slightly higher, but still relatively low, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.33) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.29), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.26) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-13.17). The negative value for Ligand B is unusual and suggests a very long half-life, which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.038).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**

While its logP is low and TPSA is high, the superior metabolic stability and binding affinity are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Ligand A has a better QED and slightly better half-life, but the higher metabolic clearance is a major drawback. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B, combined with its superior metabolic properties, makes it the more promising candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (71.694) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (52.191), which is preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (82.047) is slightly better than Ligand B (64.017).
**Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.508 and -4.981), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.973 and -1.583), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.349) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.087), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.644) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (9.895), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.182) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (2.84), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.028 and 0.01).

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.898) has a more negative Caco-2 value, suggesting *lower* permeability, while Ligand B (-5.173) is also low. Both are poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.565) has better solubility than Ligand B (-3.733).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.526) shows a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.797), which is crucial for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.562) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (76.376), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.806) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (14.136), but both are reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.025 and 0.109).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.487 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability, while Ligand B (367.446 Da) is still well within the range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (54.34) is significantly better than Ligand B (91.32). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B's higher TPSA could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.501, B: 1.86), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, potentially improving permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.825) has a much higher QED score than Ligand B (0.482), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (12.524) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (52.152), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (82.745) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (60.411), although BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.897) has a better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.258), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.293) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.171).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.452, B: 0.374).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.631) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.898), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.27) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.82), which is a major advantage for dosing frequency.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.378, B: 0.071).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.6 kcal/mol, which is substantial but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (QED, DILI, TPSA, solubility, permeability) and has a slightly better binding affinity. However, its higher microsomal clearance and shorter half-life are concerning. Ligand B has a longer half-life and better metabolic stability, but suffers from a higher TPSA, lower QED, and higher DILI risk.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the longer half-life and better metabolic stability of Ligand B are critical advantages that outweigh its slightly lower QED and higher DILI risk. The affinity difference is not large enough to overcome the ADME deficiencies of Ligand A.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-40.502 hours), which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B has a very short half-life (-0.456 hours), also problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.113 and 0.066), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, and better metabolic stability. However, it has a higher DILI risk and the negative half-life is a major red flag. Ligand B has a better logP, lower DILI, and slightly better hERG, but weaker binding affinity and worse metabolic stability.
Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the significant difference in binding affinity (-9.1 vs -7.8 kcal/mol), I would cautiously favor Ligand A *if* the negative half-life can be explained or corrected (e.g., data error). The DILI risk is concerning but potentially mitigable with further optimization. The negative solubility and permeability values are also concerning and need investigation.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.005 and -5.064), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential issue for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.725 and -3.106), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for both, but less so if formulation strategies can be employed.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.334 and 0.342), which is positive.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.624) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.118), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (22.109) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (6.243), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.3 and 0.259), which is good.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-8.2 and -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), Ligand A has better solubility, permeability, and a much better TPSA. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial, but solubility and permeability are also important. The difference in binding affinity is not large enough to overcome the solubility and permeability advantages of Ligand A. Therefore, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-25.421) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.52). This suggests better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.938) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (20.39).

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity. However, Ligand A has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. The solubility and permeability are poor for both, but the affinity difference is substantial. The improved metabolic stability and reduced toxicity of Ligand A are valuable, but the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand B likely outweighs these drawbacks, especially considering optimization can address solubility/permeability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.204 and 354.422 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (137.46) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (75.71) is well below 140, indicating potentially good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal 1-3 range (1.689 and 2.112).
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 8 HBAs, while Ligand B has 4. Both are below the 10 limit.
**QED:** Both ligands have low QED scores (0.376 and 0.313), indicating suboptimal drug-likeness. This is a concern for both.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.147%), which is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (44.591%), which is acceptable.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (72.16 and 79.604%), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A has a negative Caco-2 value (-4.785), indicating poor permeability. Ligand B has a negative value as well (-4.296), also indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.709 and -2.262), suggesting very poor aqueous solubility, which is a significant issue for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.378 and 0.488), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a moderate Cl_mic (80.406), while Ligand B has a higher Cl_mic (84.462). Both are relatively high, suggesting moderate metabolic instability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a very short half-life (0.16 hours), indicating rapid metabolism. Ligand B has a negative half-life (-19.076 hours), which is nonsensical and suggests a problem with the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.198 and 0.243), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The primary reason is the drastically lower DILI risk (44.591% vs 99.147%). While both have poor solubility and permeability, the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is unacceptable. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data quality issue that would need to be resolved, but the other properties are more favorable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could potentially overcome some of the ADME liabilities.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better physicochemical properties (MW, TPSA, logP, HBD/HBA, solubility, permeability, hERG, and DILI). However, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and a substantially stronger binding affinity. The DILI risk for Ligand B is a major concern, but the binding affinity advantage is significant. Given that SRC is an intracellular target, metabolic stability and potency are paramount.

Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, better TPSA, logP, solubility, and lower DILI risk. However, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). Given that we are targeting a kinase, metabolic stability is paramount. While the affinity difference is notable, a kinase inhibitor with poor metabolic stability will likely have limited in vivo efficacy. The improved solubility of Ligand A is also a plus.

For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and a significantly longer half-life. However, Ligand A has a much lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a lower hERG risk. The solubility and Caco-2 values are poor for both, but the metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A are more appealing for initial development. The 0.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is not substantial enough to overcome the superior ADME/Tox profile of Ligand A.

Both have poor solubility and permeability, which are significant drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar affinities, **Ligand B** is the more promising candidate due to its superior metabolic stability and lower Pgp efflux. The better half-life and reduced efflux are critical for maintaining therapeutic concentrations *in vivo*. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of Ligand A, combined with its very short half-life, make it a less attractive starting point.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (362.434 Da and 353.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.07) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (119.21) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.858) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-1.831) is below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA) both meet the guidelines of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.81 and 0.537), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.586) has a moderate DILI risk, but is still acceptable. Ligand B (16.208) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (77.821) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (30.089).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the experimental setup or a very poor permeability. However, we should consider the other parameters.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests very poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.514) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.132) also has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.542) has a moderate microsomal clearance. Ligand B (-18.06) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely indicates an experimental error. This is a major red flag.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.718) has a negative half-life, which is also impossible and indicates an experimental error. Ligand B (-9.754) also has a negative half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.21 and 0.001).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol), although both are excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2, solubility, and half-life, the most significant issue is the negative microsomal clearance and half-life for Ligand B. These values are physically impossible and strongly suggest a problem with the data for Ligand B. While Ligand B has a better DILI score and similar P-gp efflux, the unreliable ADME data makes it a much riskier candidate. Ligand A, while also having questionable solubility and permeability data, at least has plausible values for clearance and half-life. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A further supports its selection.

The poor Caco-2 values for both are a concern that would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modification.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (383.832 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (355.395 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.23) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (138.6) is approaching the limit, but still acceptable.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.319) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-1.07) is significantly below this range, which could hinder permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=5) is well within the acceptable limits. Ligand B (HBD=4, HBA=8) is also within limits, but closer to the upper bounds.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.638, B: 0.504), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (97.867) has a very high DILI risk, which is a major concern. Ligand B (68.05) has a moderate DILI risk, which is preferable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (60.876) and Ligand B (26.483) are both low, which is not detrimental in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and negative values are possible.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. It suggests very low solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.779) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but Ligand B (0.032) has a very low hERG risk, which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (94.892) has high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-8.118) has negative clearance, which is also unusual but suggests very good metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (54.214) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (34.762) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.551, B: 0.006), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -8.3 kcal/mol, B: -8.7 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly more potent. The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A's extremely high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability are major drawbacks. Ligand B, while having a lower logP and solubility, exhibits a significantly lower DILI risk, excellent metabolic stability, and a very low hERG risk. These factors are crucial for kinase inhibitors. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (A: 5, B: 6) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.545, B: 0.611), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.024) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (59.48). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (10.392) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (75.107) is quite high. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but still favors Ligand B.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have very poor Caco-2 permeability (-5.372 and -5.38). This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.785 and -1.772). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.101) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.363), which is a positive for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-13.162) has much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.747), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand A as we prioritize metabolic stability for enzyme targets.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.571) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (6.293), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.02) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.184), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar, strong binding affinities (A: -9.1 kcal/mol, B: -10.5 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), DILI risk, and P-gp efflux. While its logP is suboptimal and Caco-2 permeability is poor, its superior metabolic profile and safety (DILI, hERG) are critical for an enzyme target like SRC. Ligand B has better TPSA, logP, and BBB penetration, but suffers from higher DILI risk and significantly worse metabolic stability. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to compensate for these drawbacks.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.564 and 0.741), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (59.519 and 62.001), both are acceptable but not ideal.
**BBB:** Ligand A (44.746) and Ligand B (77.394). BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand B is better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.981) and Ligand B (-5.059). Both are poor, indicating low intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.373) and Ligand B (-3.561). Both are poor, indicating low aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.261) is very low, indicating minimal risk of cardiotoxicity. Ligand B (0.863) is higher, suggesting a moderate risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.308) and Ligand B (32.692). Ligand B has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is a key priority for kinase inhibitors.

**logP:** Ligand A (2.665) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-1.644) is below 1, which could indicate permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.69 and 0.633), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (65.607) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (30.942). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (54.362) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (36.952), but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.036 and -4.727), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading without knowing the original units.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.714 and -0.271), which is also concerning. Again, the scale isn't specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.84 and 0.115). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.111) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-0.151), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-30.56) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (11.403). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.284) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.014), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol and is unlikely to outweigh other significant drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a lower DILI risk, and a slightly better hERG profile. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the superior ADME properties outweigh this. The small difference in binding affinity is not enough to favor Ligand A given its metabolic liabilities and higher DILI risk.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.049), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) - a difference of 1.0 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage, and can often outweigh minor ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has excellent metabolic stability and a good half-life, but its extremely high DILI risk is a major red flag. Its solubility and permeability are also questionable based on the negative values.
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, a much lower DILI risk, and better TPSA. While its logP is a bit low and its clearance is higher, the significantly improved potency and safety profile outweigh these drawbacks. The negative half-life is a data quality concern, but the strong binding affinity is a compelling factor.

**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.155 and 0.112), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.779) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (28.094), indicating much better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.834) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (1.48), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.005 and 0.057).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.2 and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk outweigh the slightly lower solubility and Caco-2 permeability, and the lower logP. The low logP of Ligand A is a concern, but could potentially be addressed with prodrug strategies. Ligand B's higher logP is good, but its poor metabolic stability is a significant drawback for an enzyme inhibitor.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.216) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (27.326), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-49.582) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (21.176), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.041, B: 0.088).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol), although both are strong binders. The difference is 0.6 kcal/mol, which is not a huge advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significant advantage in terms of DILI risk and TPSA. However, Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and has slightly better binding affinity. Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability is crucial. While the solubility and permeability data are concerning for both, the superior metabolic profile of Ligand B, coupled with its slightly better affinity, makes it the more promising candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.5 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) and a longer in vitro half-life. However, it suffers from a high DILI risk, poor solubility, and poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, better solubility, and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is extremely weak.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity between A and B outweighs the ADME concerns with Ligand A *provided* that the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability of A are also addressable through prodrug strategies or formulation approaches. Ligand B's lack of potency makes it a non-starter.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (340.467 Da) is slightly better being closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) is significantly better than Ligand B (91.24). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both are within the optimal range (1-3), with Ligand A (3.841) being slightly higher. This isn't a major concern, but could potentially lead to off-target effects if it's significantly higher than other compounds in the series.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=2) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=5). While both are acceptable, lower HBA counts can improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.741, B: 0.666), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (39.667) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (89.841). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (79.217) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (51.105).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.31) shows better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.748), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-5.578 and -5.287 respectively). This is a concern for both, but might be manageable with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.669) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.315), which is a crucial safety parameter.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (64.14) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.823). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (1.178) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (0.817), but the difference isn't substantial.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux (0.242 and 0.222 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior ADME properties (lower DILI, better TPSA, better Caco-2, lower hERG) and comparable binding affinity. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a slightly better binding affinity. However, the significantly higher DILI risk for Ligand B is a major concern. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is important, but a high DILI risk is a significant hurdle. The small advantage in binding affinity of Ligand B does not outweigh the substantial ADME benefits of Ligand A.

2025-04-17 11:11:08,190 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [362.459, 103.91 , 0.488, 1. , 7. , 0.739, 51.028, 49.787, -5.43 , -2.753, 0.099, 10.983, 7.164, 0.068, -7.5 ]

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (362.459) and B (354.407) are comparable.
2. **TPSA:** A (103.91) is better than B (126.46), falling comfortably under the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption. B is still acceptable, but less optimal.
3. **logP:** A (0.488) is slightly better than B (-0.007). Both are relatively low, potentially impacting permeability, but not drastically.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is preferable to B (3). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both A (7) and B (7) are within the acceptable range (<=10).
6. **QED:** Both A (0.739) and B (0.507) are above the 0.5 threshold, indicating good drug-like properties. A is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** Both are acceptable, but A (51.028) is better than B (54.634). Lower DILI is always preferred.
8. **BBB:** A (49.787) is better than B (30.167), but BBB isn't a high priority for a kinase inhibitor.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are very poor (-5.43 and -5.396). This is a significant concern for oral bioavailability.
10. **Solubility:** Both are very poor (-2.753 and -1.281). This is a major issue for formulation and bioavailability.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low (0.099 and 0.049), indicating low cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (10.983) is *much* better than B (28.316). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** A (7.164) is better than B (0.051). A longer half-life is desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Both are low (0.068 and 0.08), suggesting minimal efflux issues.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-9.3) is significantly better than A (-7.5). A difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is substantial and can often outweigh other drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
Given that SRC is a kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are the most important factors. B has a much stronger binding affinity. While A has better metabolic stability and half-life, the large difference in binding affinity is likely to be more impactful. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the better ADME properties of Ligand A, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol vs -7.5 kcal/mol) makes it the more promising drug candidate. The potency advantage is likely to outweigh the solubility and permeability concerns, which can be addressed through formulation.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.528 and 0.677, respectively), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 91.974, which is high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 26.406, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** This is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand B (66.188) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (10.314).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.683 and -5.046). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and the absolute values are similar, so the difference isn't critical.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.837 and -1.487). Again, this is unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.169 and 0.322), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.073 mL/min/kg) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.3 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.046 and 0.015), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.5 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is clearly superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk. While Ligand A has a longer half-life and better metabolic stability, the high DILI risk is a major concern. A high DILI risk often leads to attrition during drug development. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the deciding factor.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand A (-1.674) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.252).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.117) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.397), a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-1.024) has a negative clearance, which is impossible and likely an error. Ligand A (10.674) has a moderate clearance. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (24.758) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-11.881). However, the negative value for Ligand A is suspect.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability, with Ligand A (0.044) being slightly lower than Ligand B (0.066).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This difference in affinity is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better BBB penetration and in vitro half-life, the significant advantages of Ligand A in terms of DILI risk, hERG inhibition, binding affinity, and a more reasonable microsomal clearance outweigh these factors. The negative values for Caco-2, solubility and half-life for Ligand A are concerning, but the values for Ligand B are even more problematic (negative clearance and affinity). The superior binding affinity of Ligand A is particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (448.308 Da) is closer to the upper limit, while Ligand B (347.379 Da) is closer to the lower limit. This isn't a major differentiating factor.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (51.02) is well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption. Ligand B (126.45) is also below the threshold, but higher than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.115) is slightly above the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (-1.455) is significantly below the optimal range, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA) both fall within acceptable ranges (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.565, B: 0.691), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (59.17) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (44.63), but both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 79.217, B: 77.433). This isn't a major factor for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.889) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.295) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.085) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-2.206) has slightly better aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.847) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.072). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (98.355) has high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-12.497) has excellent metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (103.49) has a reasonable in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (6.382) has a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.571) has moderate P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.004) has very low P-gp efflux. This is an advantage for Ligand B.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. The difference of 1.3 kcal/mol is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, poor aqueous solubility, high microsomal clearance, and moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower hERG, lower P-gp efflux, slightly better solubility), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity (1.3 kcal/mol), I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate, despite its ADME liabilities. Optimization efforts could focus on improving its solubility, permeability, and metabolic stability while retaining its high potency.

Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.4 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. It also has a lower DILI risk, better BBB penetration (though not crucial here), and lower P-gp efflux. While its hERG risk is slightly higher and clearance slightly lower than Ligand A, the potency difference is the dominant factor. The poor permeability and solubility would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but the strong binding provides a solid foundation for optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.435 and 361.398 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (113.24) is slightly above the preferred <100 for optimal absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (91.32) is excellent, well below 140 and closer to the ideal for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.79) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.609) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.729) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.577), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (75.456) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (36.797). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Ligand A (85.537) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (43.583), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.528 and -5.399), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a major red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.495 and -4.116), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.299) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.435), which is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.115 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.802 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.664 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-7.14 hours). The negative value for B is concerning and likely indicates rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.007) has very low P-gp efflux liability, while Ligand B (0.149) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.7 and -9.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.7 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh the other significant differences.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a better QED score, significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 6 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.674 and 0.713), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 89.957, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk of 16.402, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired. Ligand B (87.67) is better than Ligand A (58.976).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.311) shows poor permeability, which is a major drawback. Ligand B (-4.754) also shows poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.683) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-1.768) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.718) has a moderate hERG risk. Ligand B (0.469) has a lower hERG risk, which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (67.794) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-8.685) has *negative* clearance, which is extremely favorable and indicates very high metabolic stability. This is a huge advantage.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.184 and 0.027), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference is considered impactful.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having acceptable MW, QED, and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is clearly superior. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, dramatically lower DILI risk, and exceptionally high metabolic stability (indicated by negative clearance and half-life) outweigh the slightly lower logP and permeability. Ligand A's high DILI risk and poor permeability are major red flags.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (26.871) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.364). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (89.221 and 83.172), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.501 and 0.391), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.444) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.874). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, which is a key priority for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.286) has a negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (-6.329) also has a negative half-life, but is less negative. Again, the scale is not specified.

**Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.966 and -4.991), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.069 and -0.705), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.587) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but still relatively low. Ligand B (0.234) has a very low hERG risk.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the issues with Caco-2, solubility, and half-life, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.2 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is a major deciding factor. A 1.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can often outweigh other ADME concerns, especially if optimization efforts can address the solubility and permeability issues. Ligand B has better ADME properties overall (lower DILI, better logP, lower clearance, lower hERG), but the weaker binding affinity makes it less likely to be a viable candidate. The negative half-life values are concerning and need to be investigated, but the binding affinity difference is the most important factor in this comparison.

Despite the slightly better half-life of Ligand A, the significantly lower DILI risk and better BBB penetration of Ligand B are more compelling. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but the DILI risk for Ligand A is a major drawback. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) and solubility are important, but a lower toxicity profile is paramount.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.658) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.832), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.565) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (6.935) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.035 and 0.025).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better QED and lower Cl_mic, the significantly higher DILI risk and impossible half-life are major red flags. Ligand B, while having a lower QED and higher Cl_mic, exhibits a much stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and a reasonable half-life. The superior binding affinity of Ligand B is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the lower DILI risk is a significant advantage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.445 and 352.395 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (69.64) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (109.66) is still within acceptable limits, but less favorable than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.182) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-1.266) is below 1, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 7 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.627 and 0.684, respectively), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (11.632) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (64.366). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (78.635) has a higher percentile than Ligand B (49.128).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.585) and Ligand B (-4.952) both have negative values, which is unusual and requires careful interpretation. Lower (more negative) values suggest poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.282) and Ligand B (-0.527) both have negative values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.337 and 0.059).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.203) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.585), indicating potentially lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.13) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (-8.857), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.063 and 0.014).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable due to its significantly lower DILI risk, better logP, and lower TPSA. While its microsomal clearance is higher, the substantial advantage in safety (DILI) and absorption/permeation properties outweighs this drawback. Ligand B's slightly better binding affinity is not enough to compensate for its higher DILI risk and lower logP.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.108) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.206), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-8.261) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-14.419). This indicates better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.65) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (4.337), which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and good binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is slightly favored. While both have similar binding affinities, Ligand A exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a lower hERG risk. Although both have poor predicted solubility and permeability, the improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is more critical for *in vivo* efficacy.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a very concerning DILI risk and a nonsensical half-life. While it has better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux, the DILI and half-life issues are major red flags. Ligand B, despite having slightly higher logP and P-gp efflux, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and a reasonable half-life. Crucially, its binding affinity is significantly stronger. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the superior binding affinity and better safety profile of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity and a very low DILI risk, and a good QED score. However, it has a higher logP, a slightly higher hERG risk, and a problematic negative in vitro half-life value. Ligand B has better solubility, lower hERG, and a reasonable half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker, and its QED is slightly lower. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both.
Despite the issues with solubility and permeability for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a data quality issue that needs investigation, but the binding advantage is substantial enough to prioritize it *if* the half-life can be clarified.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary strength is its exceptional binding affinity. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, moderate DILI risk, slightly elevated hERG risk, and moderate metabolic clearance. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is essentially non-existent.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme class), potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is likely to be the deciding factor. While Ligand A's ADME properties are not ideal, they are potentially addressable through formulation or further chemical modifications. Ligand B, with its extremely weak binding, is unlikely to be a viable starting point, regardless of its ADME profile.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.111) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.298), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.4 and -8.9 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.4 kcal/mol).
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better affinity, half-life, P-gp efflux, and clearance, the extremely high DILI risk (95.386 percentile) is a significant red flag. The slightly higher logP of Ligand B is a concern, but its much lower DILI risk (24.932 percentile) makes it the more viable candidate. The similar affinities mean the slightly better binding of Ligand A doesn't outweigh the substantial toxicity concern.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (15.968) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (29.837), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.625) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (8.068), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.472) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.142), which could lead to better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and outweighs many of the other minor differences.
**Conclusion:**

**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 74.176, Ligand B: 73.866). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and problematic. It suggests poor permeability. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.723) is better than Ligand B (-5.433). Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.39, Ligand B: 0.582), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.796) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (126.031). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-16.736) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a concerning data point. Ligand B (10.96) is reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.093, Ligand B: 0.792).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (Ligand A: -6.9 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -6.7 kcal/mol). The difference is not substantial enough to override other ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has several advantages: better TPSA, logP, QED, solubility, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, the negative in vitro half-life is a major red flag, suggesting a data error or a very unstable compound.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.195 and 0.026), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B, the negative values for microsomal clearance and in vitro half-life are highly suspect and indicate a serious problem with the data or the compound's stability. These values are physically impossible. Ligand A, while having a weaker binding affinity, has more reasonable and plausible ADME properties, including a low DILI risk and low hERG inhibition. The solubility is a concern for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.4 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity, Ligand B is significantly better overall. It has a much lower DILI risk, a better QED score, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a more optimal logP value. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are a concern for both, but the superior ADME-Tox profile of Ligand B outweighs this drawback.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (367.442 and 367.515 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (55.84) is significantly better than Ligand B (71.53). A TPSA under 90 is generally preferred, and A is comfortably within this range, while B is approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.813 and 2.916) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 5 HBA) in terms of maintaining a balance between solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.64) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.51), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (48.313 and 43.505), both below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (81.97) has a much higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (42.769). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is rarely detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.301) has a more negative Caco-2 value, indicating lower permeability than Ligand B (-5.176). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.015) has a more negative solubility value, indicating lower solubility than Ligand B (-2.227). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.931) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.236), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (102.928) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (91.915), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-64.355) has a significantly more negative in vitro half-life than Ligand B (2.367), meaning it has a much shorter half-life and is less stable. This is a major negative for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.513) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.192), which is a positive.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While Ligand A has advantages in TPSA, hERG, and P-gp efflux, these are outweighed by its significantly poorer solubility, metabolic stability (higher clearance, shorter half-life), and, most importantly, weaker binding affinity. The stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) is a substantial advantage for an enzyme target, and can compensate for some of the less favorable ADME properties. The solubility of Ligand B is also better than Ligand A.

**DILI:** Ligand A (88.833) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (12.524). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less important for a non-CNS target. Ligand A (65.413) and Ligand B (59.131) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.143) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.767), suggesting lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.204) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-0.811). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.097) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.249), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-5.481) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (28.488), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-13.504) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (6.845), further supporting its superior metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.05) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.008), which is a slight advantage.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-10.0 and -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference is unlikely to outweigh the other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and lower hERG risk, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk, improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and better solubility of Ligand B outweigh the minor advantage in binding affinity of Ligand A. The better QED score also supports Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (370.515 and 343.391 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (81.08) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (117.59) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.712) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (0.533) is even lower, raising more concerns about permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is well within acceptable limits. Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.72 and 0.634), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.424) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.491), which is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (43.117) is better than Ligand B (36.371).
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.299) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.035) is even lower, and also excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.75) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (-3.415). A negative clearance is not physically possible, so this value is suspect, but it indicates very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.576) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (11.932) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.022 and 0.031).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.1 and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, the most significant difference lies in the DILI and metabolic stability. Ligand A has a much lower DILI risk, and while its clearance is higher than ligand B, ligand B has an impossible negative clearance value. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate, even with the slightly lower logP.

The improved affinity is likely to outweigh the solubility/permeability concerns, especially given that formulation strategies can sometimes mitigate these issues. Ligand A's better metabolic stability is appealing, but the difference in binding affinity is too large to ignore.

While Ligand B has a slightly better QED and P-gp efflux, Ligand A excels in the most critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and substantially stronger binding affinity. The slightly better solubility and TPSA of Ligand A are also beneficial. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the potency and metabolic advantages of Ligand A outweigh these drawbacks.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.8 kcal/mol, which is a reasonable advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior QED, microsomal clearance, and in vitro half-life, and slightly better binding affinity. However, it has significantly higher DILI risk and worse solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and better solubility/permeability, but suffers from poorer metabolic stability and a slightly weaker binding affinity.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, the significantly higher DILI risk and poorer solubility/permeability are concerning. Ligand B's better safety profile and reasonable ADME properties make it the more promising candidate, despite the slightly lower affinity. The 0.8 kcal/mol difference in affinity can potentially be optimized in later stages of drug development.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0). This is a *major* advantage for Ligand B, and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B boasts a much stronger binding affinity, Ligand A has a superior ADME profile, particularly regarding DILI risk and metabolic stability (Cl_mic). The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both, but the metabolic advantage of A is critical for an enzyme target. The strong binding of B is tempting, but the higher DILI and clearance suggest it might be quickly eliminated and potentially toxic.

While it has a slightly higher hERG risk and lower Caco-2 permeability, its superior binding affinity, significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux outweigh these drawbacks. The strong binding affinity is particularly important for an enzyme inhibitor. Ligand B's lower logP and higher DILI are significant concerns.

**DILI:** Ligand A (67.429) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (16.092). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.919 and 70.027), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.962 and -4.565), which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but less so for Ligand B given its better logP.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.096 and -2.032), which is also unusual and indicates poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.207) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.352), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.632) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (72.227), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (41.295) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-8.162), which is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.099 and 0.056).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A boasts a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). While its logP is suboptimal and solubility is poor, the significantly improved potency is a major factor for an enzyme target. Ligand B has better logP, lower DILI risk, and fewer HBA, but its weaker binding affinity is a critical disadvantage. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate despite its ADME liabilities.

However, it suffers from a significantly higher DILI risk, poorer QED, and faster metabolism. Ligand A has a better safety profile (lower DILI, hERG), better metabolic stability, and a longer half-life, but its affinity is much weaker and logP is suboptimal.
Despite the affinity advantage of Ligand B, the high DILI risk is a major red flag. DILI is a common reason for drug development failure. The combination of better safety, metabolic stability, and half-life makes Ligand A the more promising starting point, even with its weaker binding. Optimization efforts can focus on improving its affinity while maintaining the favorable ADME/Tox properties.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 59.131, which is approaching the higher risk threshold (>60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 25.087, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (59.054 and 55.099), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both show poor Caco-2 permeability (-5.29 and -4.511), suggesting absorption issues.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.44 and -1.721), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.051) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.294) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.415) and Ligand B (-5.286) both have negative values, which is unusual and likely indicates very slow clearance (high metabolic stability). This is a positive.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.828) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-5.189) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests an issue with the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux (0.008 and 0.075).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME liabilities.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.1 vs -8.5 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. While Ligand A's DILI risk is higher than Ligand B, it's still within a manageable range. Ligand B's negative in vitro half-life is a red flag suggesting data quality issues or an unstable compound. The better hERG profile of Ligand A is also a plus.

**3. logP:** Both ligands have logP values (0.504 and 0.66) which are a bit low. Ideally, we want values between 1-3 for optimal permeability. This could be a potential issue for both, but not a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (4) both fall within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Ligand A (6) and Ligand B (5) both fall within the acceptable limit of <=10.

**8. BBB:** This isn't a high priority for an enzyme target like SRC. Ligand A (63.901) and Ligand B (52.191) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.937 and -5.546). This is unusual and indicates very poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.101 and -2.364), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.135 and 0.236), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-2.638) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible. This is a red flag and suggests an issue with the data or the molecule's predicted metabolism. Ligand B (16.883) has a higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-23.314) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is another major red flag. Ligand B (-19.616) also has a negative half-life, also a major red flag.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.012 and 0.038), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the strong binding affinity of Ligand A, the impossible values for Cl_mic and t1/2 are dealbreakers. These indicate a serious problem with the molecule or its predicted properties. Ligand B also has impossible values for Cl_mic and t1/2. Both ligands have poor permeability and solubility. However, Ligand B has a lower DILI risk. Given the impossible values for both, and the slightly lower DILI risk for B, I would cautiously select Ligand B for further investigation, *assuming the negative values are data errors*. The strong affinity of A is tempting, but the negative metabolic parameters are too concerning.

However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher TPSA, and a higher hERG risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (DILI, hERG, TPSA, solubility, permeability, metabolic stability), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand B is likely to outweigh its ADME liabilities, *provided* those liabilities can be addressed through further optimization. The difference in binding affinity is large enough to make Ligand B the more promising starting point, despite its drawbacks.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.578) and Ligand B (-5.061) both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. However, this is a scale and the absolute values are not directly comparable without knowing the scale's range.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.993 and -1.232 respectively). This is a potential issue, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.012 and 0.024), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.997) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (9.186), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.436) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (4.911), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show minimal P-gp efflux liability (0.012 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a 1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is significantly more favorable overall. Ligand A has a better QED score, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a more favorable logP. The solubility is a concern for both, but can be addressed. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A is outweighed by its superior ADME properties and safety profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (367.852 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (388.515 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (113.67) is still acceptable but higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.728) is optimal. Ligand B (-0.02) is concerningly low, potentially leading to poor membrane permeability and bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBAs, and Ligand B has 6. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10, but Ligand B is approaching the upper end.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.832, B: 0.705), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.501) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.67), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (86.041) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (56.572).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP-like scales, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand A (-5.135) is worse than Ligand B (-5.562), but both are problematic.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.297) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.657).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.316, B: 0.066). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (A: 8.243, B: 8.074). These values are relatively low, suggesting reasonable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.321) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-20.222), which is a substantial advantage for dosing frequency.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.074, B: 0.025).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (A: -9.3 kcal/mol, B: -8.5 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is not huge.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. While both have good binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A excels in crucial ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better solubility, and a much longer in vitro half-life. The logP of Ligand B is a major concern, and its Caco-2 permeability is also poor. Ligand A's slightly better TPSA and BBB penetration are additional benefits. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A further strengthens its position.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.386 and 346.431 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.09) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (83.56) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.438) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.743) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, although not severely.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBAs, and Ligand B has 5 HBAs. Both are acceptable, but lower is generally preferred.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.848) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.611) is still acceptable, but less desirable.
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.058) has a moderate DILI risk, which is acceptable. Ligand B (27.065) has a lower, and thus better, DILI risk.
**BBB:** Ligand A (83.249) shows reasonable BBB penetration, while Ligand B (47.926) is lower. This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but still a consideration.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.698 and -4.902), which is unusual and concerning. These values likely indicate poor permeability *in vitro*.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.675 and -1.355), also concerning. These suggest very poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.257) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.195) also has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.217) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (1.433) has a *very* low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.1) has a negative half-life, which is nonsensical. Ligand B (24.782) has a good half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.108) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.009) has even lower P-gp efflux, which is excellent.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better TPSA, but suffers from a nonsensical half-life and moderate clearance. Its solubility and permeability are also questionable. Ligand B has excellent metabolic stability (very low clearance, good half-life), low P-gp efflux, and a lower DILI risk. However, its binding affinity is weaker, and its logP is a bit low.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, potency and metabolic stability are paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.9 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) is a major factor. While Ligand A's ADME properties are concerning, the strong binding could potentially be optimized with further modifications. The poor solubility and permeability are significant hurdles, but not insurmountable. Ligand B's ADME profile is better, but the weaker binding makes it less likely to be a successful drug candidate without substantial potency improvements.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better TPSA, logP, solubility, Caco-2 permeability, and P-gp efflux, it suffers from higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability (higher clearance, shorter half-life). Ligand B, despite having a slightly lower logP and higher TPSA, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and significantly improved metabolic stability (longer half-life). Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the longer half-life and lower DILI risk of Ligand B are more important than the slight advantages of Ligand A in other parameters, especially considering the comparable binding affinities.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.7 and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal and unlikely to be decisive.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is generally superior. It has better TPSA, logP, DILI, BBB, and hERG inhibition profiles. While its microsomal clearance is worse than Ligand B, the other advantages, particularly the lower hERG risk, outweigh this drawback. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other parameters favor A. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag.

Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B is attractive, but the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A is more important. Further optimization would be needed to improve solubility and permeability for either compound.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (362.451) is slightly higher than B (345.403), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (76.66) is better than B (80.03), both are still acceptable for an enzyme target.
3. **logP:** A (3.175) is optimal, while B (0.648) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. This is a significant drawback for B.
4. **HBD:** A (2) is good, B (0) is also acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (5) is good, B (6) is also acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.827) and B (0.805) have excellent drug-likeness scores.
7. **DILI:** A (71.384) is higher than B (47.77), indicating a slightly increased risk of liver injury, but still within a reasonable range. B is preferable here.
8. **BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but B (65.956) is slightly better than A (55.642).
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.387) is worse than B (-1.75), indicating lower solubility. This is a drawback for A.
11. **hERG:** A (0.406) is better than B (0.158), indicating lower hERG inhibition risk. This is a significant advantage for A.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (81.62) is significantly higher than B (22.389), meaning A has much faster metabolic clearance and lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for A.
13. **t1/2:** A (-23.564) is much worse than B (1.016), indicating a very short half-life for A. This is a critical disadvantage for A.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.108) is better than B (0.039), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Affinity:** B (-8.6) is slightly better than A (-8.2), but the difference is relatively small.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
* **Affinity:** B has a slightly better affinity, but it's not a huge difference.
* **Metabolic Stability:** B is *significantly* better (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** B is better.
* **hERG:** A is better.
**Conclusion:**
Despite A having a slightly better hERG profile and Pgp efflux, the significantly worse metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short t1/2) and lower solubility of A are major drawbacks. The low logP of B is concerning, but the superior metabolic stability and solubility are more critical for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly better affinity of B further supports its selection.
Therefore, **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.456) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.114), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.106 hours) has a positive half-life, while Ligand B (-28.602 hours) has a negative half-life, which is nonsensical. This suggests Ligand B is rapidly degraded.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.045 and 0.027).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.6 and -7.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate.** It has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive t1/2), lower hERG risk, and a more favorable TPSA. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand A is better in both regards. The binding affinity is essentially the same. The enzyme-specific priorities heavily favor Ligand A due to its superior ADME properties.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (51.97) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (82.53) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.672) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (1.772) is within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is good. Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) is also good. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.723, B: 0.822), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (68.166) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.734), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (71.733) is slightly better than Ligand B (32.726).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is undefined.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.552) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.289), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (15.188) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (55.482), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.957) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (31.758), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.776) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.069). Lower is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol). The difference of 1.4 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, the overall profile of Ligand B is superior. Its significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) make it the more promising drug candidate for SRC kinase inhibition. Ligand A's higher logP and DILI risk are concerning.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (342.355) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (120.16) is better than B (45.55). Both are below the 140 cutoff for oral absorption, but B is significantly lower, which is good.
3. **logP:** A (-1.085) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. B (1.919) is within the optimal range (1-3). B is better here.
4. **HBD:** A (4) is acceptable. B (0) is excellent, minimizing potential off-target interactions. B is better.
5. **HBA:** Both A (4) and B (5) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.388) and B (0.76) are reasonably drug-like, but B is significantly better.
7. **DILI:** A (47.887) is better than B (22.218) - lower risk is always preferred.
8. **BBB:** A (29.12) is low, while B (87.088) is high. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but B is still better.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.495) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. B (-4.766) is also poor, but slightly better.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.779) is poor. B (-1.851) is also poor, but slightly better.
11. **hERG:** A (0.031) is very low risk. B (0.67) is slightly higher, but still acceptable. A is better.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-22.606) is excellent (low clearance, high metabolic stability). B (7.901) is moderate. A is significantly better.

15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-9.9) is significantly stronger than A (-7.6) - a difference of 2.3 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** B is much better.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is significantly better (lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but B is slightly better.
* **hERG:** A is better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, hERG, and metabolic stability, the *substantial* improvement in binding affinity for Ligand B (-9.9 kcal/mol vs -7.6 kcal/mol) outweighs these drawbacks. The difference in affinity is large enough to potentially overcome the slightly higher DILI risk and moderate Cl_mic. The better logP and QED of ligand B also contribute to its overall drug-likeness. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed in further optimization, but the stronger binding of B makes it a more promising starting point.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and a better in vitro half-life. However, its high DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a questionable half-life value. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the severity of DILI, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a compelling factor, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. However, the negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning and need further investigation.
Despite the DILI risk, I lean towards Ligand A as the more promising starting point due to the substantial difference in binding affinity.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and indicates poor solubility. This is a concern for both, but the values are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.126) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.527), a significant safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.53) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.57), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-26.45) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (24.07).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.017) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.026), which is beneficial for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a very large difference and a major factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, the significant drawbacks in DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and metabolic stability make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand A, despite its weaker binding affinity, presents a much more favorable ADMET profile, with lower DILI, hERG, and P-gp efflux, and better metabolic stability and half-life. The difference in binding affinity is substantial, but a well-optimized Ligand A scaffold could potentially achieve comparable potency. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the ADMET advantages of Ligand A outweigh the potency difference at this stage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.503 and 360.523 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (23.55) is significantly better than Ligand B (40.62). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target. Ligand A is well below the 140 threshold, while B is approaching it.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.414) is slightly higher than the optimal range (1-3), but still acceptable. Ligand B (2.237) is well within the optimal range. Higher logP can sometimes lead to off-target effects, but the difference isn't drastic here.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have low HBD (0) and acceptable HBA (2 for A, 3 for B).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.719 and 0.725), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.689) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.77), which is preferable. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (79.411 and 79.139). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.717 and -4.925). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.993 and -3.61). This is also concerning and suggests poor aqueous solubility. Formulation challenges are likely.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.944) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.564), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (100.737) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.461). This means Ligand A will be metabolized faster, leading to a shorter half-life and potentially lower bioavailability. This is a major drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (28.544 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-9.016 hours). However, the negative value for B is problematic and likely indicates a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.481 and 0.352).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better TPSA and DILI score, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The primary reason is the significantly lower microsomal clearance and better binding affinity. The longer half-life of Ligand A is negated by its rapid metabolism. While both have solubility issues, this can be addressed through formulation strategies. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is a crucial advantage for a kinase inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (397.89 and 356.42 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.54) is significantly better than Ligand B (76.14). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are under this threshold, but A is much closer to the ideal for better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.166) is slightly higher than the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (2.863) is within the optimal range. High logP can cause issues, but the binding affinity difference will be considered.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.75 and 0.674), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.7) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (41.9), which is desirable. Both are below the 60 threshold, but A is better.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (70.4 and 89.0), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the prediction method. We'll have to rely on other parameters for permeability assessment.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again suggesting issues with the prediction method.
**hERG:** Both ligands have a low hERG risk (0.828 and 0.481), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (80.5 mL/min/kg) has higher clearance than Ligand B (79.4 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a slight negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-33.05 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (6.08 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, as it suggests less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.564 and 0.078).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and better TPSA. However, Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life and a more optimal logP. The difference in binding affinity is substantial (0.9 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. While Ligand A's higher clearance is a concern, the strong binding affinity suggests it may still have sufficient *in vivo* efficacy. The solubility and Caco-2 values are suspect due to the negative values.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (69.64) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (121.6) is also below the threshold, but higher than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.097) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.014) is very low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (5) are both acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.568 and 0.653), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.767) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.887), both are acceptable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (72.005) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (60.993), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.052) and Ligand B (-5.856) have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.985) and Ligand B (-2.283) have negative values, indicating poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.42) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.147). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.141) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-30.18). This suggests better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.897) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-15.558).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.274) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.014), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While both have good affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADME properties: lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. Although both have poor solubility and permeability, the ADME advantages of Ligand A outweigh the slight difference in binding affinity. The low logP of Ligand B is a major concern.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.135) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a red flag. Ligand B (-3.048) also has a negative half-life, which is also concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.072) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.034) is even lower. Both are good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate despite some ADME concerns. The significantly superior binding affinity (-9.2 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better hERG, the negative half-life is a major issue. Both ligands have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, but the binding affinity difference is the most important factor. The DILI risk is also lower for Ligand B.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6), but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has several advantages: better QED, lower DILI, lower hERG risk, and longer half-life. However, its higher microsomal clearance is a significant concern. Ligand B has better metabolic stability, but suffers from higher TPSA, lower QED, higher DILI, and a higher hERG risk.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the metabolic stability of Ligand B is attractive. However, the significantly better overall drug-likeness (QED, DILI, hERG) of Ligand A, combined with a still-reasonable binding affinity, makes it the more promising candidate, assuming the metabolic stability issues can be addressed through further optimization.

The negative values for clearance and half-life are concerning and likely data errors, but even without those, the other ADME properties are more favorable. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B further supports this conclusion. The high logP of Ligand A is also a concern.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.604 and 0.552), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 88.057, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 35.479, which is good.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (77.123) has a higher score than Ligand A (57.736).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.653) shows poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.027) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.245) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-1.794) has better solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.099) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.552) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (106.579) has relatively high microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (-1.397) has very low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability.

**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, acceptable DILI risk (48.197 and 47.77).
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (56.572 and 61.38). Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.529) is quite poor, suggesting very limited intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.22) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.056) is poor. Ligand B (-4.057) is also poor, but again, slightly better.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.137) is very low risk, excellent. Ligand B (0.539) is slightly higher, but still relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.381) is better than Ligand B (33.802), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.641) is positive, but Ligand B (-14.953) is negative, suggesting very poor stability. This is a critical drawback for Ligand B.
**P-gp:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.153 and 0.21).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have identical and excellent binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.189) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.696), which is a critical advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (53.736) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (3.063), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.205) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.78), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.024) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.269), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is the most important factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand B's superior binding affinity, the significant drawbacks in metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short t1/2), DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and solubility are concerning. Ligand A, while having weaker binding affinity, presents a much more balanced profile with lower toxicity risks, better metabolic stability, and improved drug-like properties. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. The substantial difference in binding affinity *might* be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A, whereas fixing the ADME issues of Ligand B would likely require more extensive structural modifications.

**7. DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (49.632 and 51.221), both are acceptable.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (65.452) and Ligand B (86.274) are both acceptable, but not particularly high, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.349) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.373) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.752) is poor. Ligand B (-4.932) is even worse.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.242) is very low risk. Ligand B (0.777) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.971) is relatively low, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (65.504) is higher, indicating faster metabolism.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-16.329) is very poor, indicating rapid degradation. Ligand B (26.696) is better, but not ideal.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.01 and 0.216), which is good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.6 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, better half-life) and a significantly lower hERG risk. However, its Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility are very poor, and its logP is on the low side. Ligand B has better permeability (though still not great) and a slightly better BBB score, but suffers from higher metabolic clearance and a worse half-life.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and low hERG risk are crucial. While both have solubility issues, Ligand A's superior metabolic stability and lower hERG risk make it the more promising candidate, despite the permeability concerns. Solubility and permeability can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.41 and 353.344 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.46) is higher than Ligand B (57.01). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable due to lower TPSA.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.254) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (3.698) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD, and Ligand B has 0. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBAs, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.847) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.769), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (72.043) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand A (65.064), indicating a lower risk of liver injury. Both are acceptable (<60 is good, and both are below 70).
**BBB:** Ligand A (91.392) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (87.864). While BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.363 and -4.435), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.582) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-5.106). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.15) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.236), which is a significant advantage. Lower hERG risk is crucial.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (73.688) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (75.258), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.359 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-22.319 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error. Ligand A is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.102) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.241), which is favorable for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.8 kcal/mol and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. It has a better QED score, significantly lower hERG risk, better solubility, lower P-gp efflux, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While Ligand B has a slightly better DILI score and lower TPSA, the advantages of Ligand A in key areas like hERG and metabolic stability are more critical for an enzyme inhibitor. The negative half-life value of Ligand B is also a red flag.

**DILI:** Ligand A (30.942) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (21.869) also has a low DILI risk, and is slightly better.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (77.317) is better than Ligand A (50.795).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.05) has very low hERG risk, excellent. Ligand B (0.513) has slightly higher hERG risk, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.857) has a negative clearance, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or model. Ligand B (7.062) has a moderate clearance, which is less ideal but not a complete dealbreaker.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.329 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-27.609 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or model.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**

However, it has a significantly lower QED and problematic negative values for half-life and Caco-2 permeability. Ligand A has a better QED and hERG profile, but a lower logP and binding affinity. The negative values for clearance and half-life for Ligand A and B are concerning and likely indicate data issues.
Despite the issues with the data, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. If the negative values for half-life and Caco-2 permeability are corrected, Ligand B would be the preferred candidate. Given the data as presented, the binding affinity advantage is strong enough to favor Ligand B, assuming the negative values are errors.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.299) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-19.583). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.134) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-0.511), further supporting Ligand B's better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.065, B: 0.077).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, HBA, DILI, solubility, Caco-2 permeability) and has comparable binding affinity. However, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life). For a kinase inhibitor, metabolic stability is paramount. While Ligand A has a better overall ADME profile, the substantial improvement in metabolic stability offered by Ligand B outweighs the slight advantages of Ligand A.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.623 hours) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (4.977 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.079 and 0.104).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol). This is a 0.5 kcal/mol difference, which is significant, but not overwhelming.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, the negative microsomal clearance is a critical flaw. A negative clearance is physically impossible and indicates a major data error or a fundamental issue with the compound's metabolism. Ligand A, while having slightly weaker binding, has a much more favorable ADME profile (better QED, lower DILI, reasonable clearance, better half-life) and acceptable hERG risk. Therefore, Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.762) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.464), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (A: 53.936, B: 52.423), and are both acceptable (<60).
**BBB:** Ligand A (48.352) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (58.821). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.854 and -4.761). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and a negative value doesn't necessarily preclude development.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.731) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-1.03). Solubility is important for enzymes, and B is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.319, B: 0.179), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (99.672) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (52.941). This means Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (28.92 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-1.204 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.117 and 0.038).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.2 and -8.0 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior in most key ADME properties (TPSA, logP, solubility, DILI) and has slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand B has a longer half-life, the significant drawbacks in permeability (low logP) and solubility, combined with higher DILI risk, make it less attractive. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability is important, but can be addressed through structural modifications. The better overall profile of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate.

Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand A is slightly more promising. Its superior binding affinity (-7.9 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life) outweigh the slightly higher DILI risk and lower BBB penetration. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities with appropriate formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (347.455 Da) is slightly better, being closer to the lower end which can aid permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (55.84) is significantly better than Ligand B (99.85). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, crucial for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target. Ligand B's TPSA is approaching a level that could hinder oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.728) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.018) is a bit low. A logP below 1 can sometimes indicate poor membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA). Fewer hydrogen bonds generally improve permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.601, B: 0.772), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (28.577) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (52.772). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (79.411) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (55.138).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.309) is better than Ligand B (-5.048), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.32) is better than Ligand B (-3.05), which is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.776) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.64), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (97.637) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (37.376). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-2.225) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-17.644). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.555) has a better P-gp efflux profile than Ligand B (0.107), meaning less efflux and potentially better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.3 kcal/mol difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, DILI, solubility, hERG, P-gp efflux, Caco-2) and has a slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer in vitro half-life. Given that SRC kinases are intracellular targets, metabolic stability is crucial. While Ligand A's better ADME profile is attractive, the improved half-life of Ligand B is a significant advantage for an enzyme target.

1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (352.494) and B (347.419) are comparable.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (106.82) is higher, but still acceptable, though less optimal.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (3.352) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (0.008) is *very* low, potentially hindering permeability. This is a significant drawback.
4. **HBD:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (2) is good. Ligand B (6) is higher, potentially impacting permeability.
6. **QED:** Ligand A (0.738) is excellent, indicating strong drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.365) is below the desirable threshold of 0.5, suggesting a less favorable drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (23.032) has a very low DILI risk. Ligand B (13.416) is also relatively low, but higher than A.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (83.094) shows good potential for BBB penetration, though not critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (64.676) is lower.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.717) is good, indicating good intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.401) is also good.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.578) is good. Ligand B (-1.748) is also good.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.644 and 0.678).
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (33.54) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-21.161) has *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely an error in the data. Assuming it is a positive value, it suggests much better metabolic stability. However, a negative value is a major red flag.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-2.588) is negative, which is not possible. Ligand B (13.903) has a good in vitro half-life. Again, the negative value for A is a major issue.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.365) has low P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.013) has very low P-gp efflux.
15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0). This is a crucial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the issues with the negative values for Cl_mic and t1/2 for Ligand A, the significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) of Ligand A, combined with its better QED and lower DILI risk, makes it the more promising candidate. The extremely low logP of Ligand B is a major concern, likely leading to poor permeability. The negative values for Ligand A are concerning and would require further investigation to confirm the accuracy of the data. However, assuming these are errors, Ligand A is still the better choice due to its superior affinity.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.976 and -4.953), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on the same scale, so don't differentiate the two.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand B (0.017) has slightly better solubility than Ligand A (-2.451).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.056) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.171), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-21.566) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-18.331), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-30.524) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (9.737), which is a substantial advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.002) has almost no P-gp efflux liability, while Ligand B (0.01) has slightly more.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. It also has a much lower DILI risk and slightly better solubility. However, it has a lower logP, potentially impacting permeability, and a shorter half-life. Ligand A has better logP, QED, metabolic stability, and half-life, but suffers from a high DILI risk.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.3 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), the benefits of Ligand B outweigh its drawbacks. The lower DILI risk is also a major advantage. While the logP is suboptimal, this can potentially be addressed through further medicinal chemistry optimization.

**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (53.548 and 57.852). BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS targets are specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.656 and -4.696). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.683 and -4.296). Again, these are unusual and indicate very poor aqueous solubility, a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.651 and 0.461), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 45.541, while Ligand B has 53.858. Lower is better, so Ligand A is slightly favored in terms of metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 52.181 hours, while Ligand B has only 3.083 hours. This is a *major* advantage for Ligand A. A longer half-life translates to less frequent dosing.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (334.394 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (26.71) is significantly lower than Ligand B (87.74). Lower TPSA generally favors better cell permeability. Ligand B's TPSA is relatively high, potentially hindering oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.69) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (0.683) is quite low, which could impede permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is better than Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, acceptable QED values (A: 0.753, B: 0.705).
**DILI:** Ligand A (68.088) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (7.445). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (76.154) is higher than Ligand A (66.344). This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.959) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.163). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (92.685) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.121). This indicates lower metabolic stability for Ligand A, a major drawback for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-28.383) has a very short in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (-13.069) is also short but better. Both are concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.767) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.012). Lower efflux is preferred.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant, and here it's a massive difference.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's lower TPSA and acceptable QED, its significantly higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, shorter half-life, higher P-gp efflux, and *much* weaker binding affinity make it a far less desirable candidate than Ligand B. Ligand B, while having a higher TPSA and lower logP, exhibits a substantially better binding affinity and superior metabolic stability, which are paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI and hERG risks are also beneficial.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.483 and 345.399 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (41.57) is well below the 140 threshold and favorable for oral absorption. Ligand B (84.67) is still below 140, but higher, potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.34) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (1.163) is within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBA, and Ligand B has 5 HBA. Both are acceptable, but Ligand A is slightly better.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.884 and 0.81), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (24.312) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.634). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.072) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (57.425), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.575 and -4.646), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.761 and -2.124), indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.782) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.052). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (73.301) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.524), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.596) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (7.662), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.517) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.024), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.7 and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands show strong binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its lower hERG risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better solubility outweigh the slightly higher TPSA and lower P-gp efflux. Ligand A has a better DILI score, but the metabolic stability issues are more concerning for an enzyme target. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (27.2) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (59.1), which is a significant advantage.
8. **BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (83.2) has a higher percentile than Ligand A (69.8). This is not a major factor in this decision.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, indicating permeability. The absolute value for A (-4.912) is more negative than B (-4.455), suggesting potentially better permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating solubility. The absolute value for A (-4.259) is more negative than B (-3.231), suggesting potentially better solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.224, B: 0.133), which is excellent.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (56.0) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (71.7), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for enzymes.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
* **Affinity:** Both are excellent.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand B is superior due to lower Cl_mic and a much longer t1/2.
* **Solubility:** Ligand A is slightly better.
* **hERG:** Both are excellent.
* **DILI:** Ligand A is significantly better.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better solubility profile and lower DILI risk, Ligand B's significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) is a more critical factor for an enzyme target like SRC. The similar binding affinities mean this difference in ADME properties is decisive.

**DILI:** Ligand A (19.504) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (53.548). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (75.107) has a better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (62.117), but this is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.293 and -4.645), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.982) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.148).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.328) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.435), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (85.586) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.44). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-41.041) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.672), indicating better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.063 and 0.077).

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (65.568) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.099). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (92.439) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (67.197). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.463) and Ligand B (-4.885) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. B is slightly worse.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.86) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-3.545), but both are very poor.
11. **hERG:** Both A (0.336) and B (0.746) have low hERG inhibition liability, which is good. A is better.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (31.637) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (82.303), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (23.157) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (37.967). B is better.
14. **Pgp:** Both A (0.362) and B (0.732) have low P-gp efflux liability, which is good. A is better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Both A (-9.5) and B (-9.4) have excellent binding affinity, very close to each other.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Decision:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly better QED score, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and lower Pgp efflux. While its DILI risk is higher, the substantial advantage in metabolic stability and the better hERG profile outweigh this concern. The solubility is poor for both, but A is slightly better. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of A make it the preferred choice.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.8 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has advantages in DILI and hERG, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly higher logP of Ligand A is a concern, but the substantial affinity difference of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (436.703 Da) is slightly higher, but acceptable. Ligand B (370.837 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (28.16) is excellent, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (113.33) is higher, potentially hindering absorption, but not a complete deal-breaker.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.765) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.259) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is favorable. Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) is also acceptable, though slightly higher.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.751) is excellent, indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.566) is acceptable, but less optimal.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (Ligand A: 42.73, Ligand B: 45.25), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (95.153) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (61.729) is lower. This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.82) is poor, suggesting low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.454) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.033) is poor, which is concerning given its already high logP. Ligand B (-2.402) is better, though still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.948) shows low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.2) is very low, also excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.074) indicates very low clearance and excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (5.754) suggests faster clearance and lower metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (70.297 hours) is excellent. Ligand B (30.341 hours) is good, but not as favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.62) suggests moderate P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.093) suggests very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (Ligand A: -9.1 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.7 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 0.4 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial and can outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher logP and poorer Caco-2/Solubility, its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), excellent QED, and slightly better binding affinity make it the more promising candidate. The SRC kinase is not a CNS target, so the higher BBB penetration of Ligand A is not a major advantage. The lower hERG risk for both is positive. The binding affinity difference is significant enough to overcome the solubility concerns, which can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (Ligand A: 71.733, Ligand B: 75.107). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.994 and -4.842), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values can occur and don't necessarily preclude development.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.74 and -1.503). This is also unusual, and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.892) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.336), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-5.896) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (48.562), indicating significantly improved metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.887) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (33.063).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.438) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. Despite its lower logP and solubility, its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and comparable binding affinity outweigh the drawbacks. The low logP and solubility are potential issues, but formulation strategies could be employed to address them. Ligand A's high DILI risk and higher metabolic clearance are significant concerns. The slightly better affinity of Ligand A isn't enough to overcome these issues.

2025-04-17 11:27:04,436 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [380.901, 86.88, 3.363, 3, 4, 0.743, 73.672, 48.468, -5.23, -4.527, 0.305, 34.91, 13.791, 0.293, -7.1]

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (380.9) is slightly better.
2. **TPSA:** A (86.88) is better than B (95.94), both are acceptable for oral absorption (<140).
3. **logP:** A (3.363) is optimal. B (0.579) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability.
4. **HBD:** A (3) and B (2) are both good, within the acceptable limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (4) and B (5) are both acceptable, below the limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both are reasonably good (A: 0.743, B: 0.689), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (73.672) is higher than B (41.877), suggesting a greater potential for liver injury. This is a significant concern for A.
8. **BBB:** Both are relatively low, which is fine since SRC is not a CNS target. B (45.987) is slightly better than A (48.468).
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating very poor permeability. This is a major issue for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating very poor solubility. This is a major issue for both.
11. **hERG:** A (0.305) is better than B (0.35), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (34.91) is better than B (12.91), suggesting better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (13.791) is better than B (-5.741), indicating a longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.293) is better than B (0.047), suggesting lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-7.3) is slightly better than A (-7.1), but the difference is small.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is preferable. Ligand B's very low logP is a major concern, likely leading to poor absorption. The DILI risk associated with Ligand A is concerning but potentially manageable with further structural modifications. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and Pgp efflux. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor for both, but these are areas that can be addressed through formulation or prodrug strategies. The slightly better affinity of B is not enough to overcome the significant permeability issues.

**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 92.4, while Ligand B has 50.097. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.289 and -5.396). This is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and negative values are possible.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.824 and -2.012). This is also concerning, indicating poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a hERG inhibition risk of 0.5, while Ligand B has 0.078. Ligand B is substantially better in terms of hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 58.172 mL/min/kg, and Ligand B has 11.63 mL/min/kg. Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 10.959 hours, while Ligand B has 12.312 hours. Ligand B has a slightly longer half-life.

However, considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, metabolic stability is crucial. Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). Given the choice between the two, and acknowledging the data error with Ligand B's half-life, Ligand B is marginally preferred *if* the half-life data can be corrected. The affinity difference is not large enough to overcome the metabolic stability advantage.

It has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), a slightly longer half-life, and a superior binding affinity. The improved binding affinity is a key factor, and the better ADME properties (lower DILI, lower Cl_mic) further support its selection.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.535 and 349.431 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is significantly better than Ligand B (84.67). Lower TPSA generally improves permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.373 and 2.396, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are acceptable, but lower is generally preferred.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.612 and 0.764), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.247) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.399). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (74.641 and 71.966), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.501 and -4.343). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't clearly defined.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.116 and -3.158). Again, the scale is unclear, but this suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.797) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.232), which is a concern.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (74.255) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (67.626), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-26.715) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-8.803). This is a major advantage for dosing considerations.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.568) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.147), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's enough to potentially overcome some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from higher microsomal clearance and a slightly higher hERG risk. Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life and lower hERG risk, but has a higher DILI risk and slightly weaker binding affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the longer half-life of Ligand B is a substantial advantage, especially considering the relatively modest difference in binding affinity. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A is attractive, but the improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is more critical for an enzyme target.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.05), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.2 kcal/mol). This is a 1.0 kcal/mol difference, which is significant, but needs to be weighed against the other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is superior in almost every other critical ADME property. Specifically, Ligand A has a better QED score, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better solubility. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of A outweigh the small affinity difference. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (hERG) are crucial, making Ligand A the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.777 and 0.761), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (11.206) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.944). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (64.87) is better than Ligand B (27.957).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and concerning. Again, values are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.838) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.276), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.686) has a better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-4.782). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.46) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (12.699). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.03) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.072), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7). However, the difference is only 0.4 kcal/mol, which is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Overall:**
Ligand A demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly regarding DILI risk, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, the difference is not large enough to overcome the substantial advantages of Ligand A in terms of safety and pharmacokinetic properties. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing off-target effects (DILI, hERG) are crucial.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.2). While a 1.5 kcal/mol advantage can sometimes outweigh other issues, the difference here is substantial (3 kcal/mol). However, the other ADME properties of Ligand A are far superior.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. It has a superior drug-likeness score (QED), much lower DILI risk, better solubility, permeability, and metabolic stability. The only significant drawback is the negative in vitro half-life, which needs further investigation, but the overall profile is much more promising. Ligand B, while having a slightly better binding affinity, suffers from a higher TPSA, HBA, DILI risk, and poorer ADME properties. The substantial difference in binding affinity is unlikely to overcome the multiple ADME liabilities of Ligand B.

**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively high DILI risk (60.062 and 65.258), which is a concern. However, this is not a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (64.986 and 66.382). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.889) is better than Ligand B (-5.332), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.621) is better than Ligand B (-3.442), indicating better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.507) is better than Ligand B (0.263), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (32.137) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (58.386), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (23.589) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (10.314), which is also desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.333) is better than Ligand B (0.21), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better solubility, permeability, and hERG risk, Ligand B's substantially stronger binding affinity (-7.5 vs -10 kcal/mol) and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are critical advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The DILI risk is a concern for both, but the potency and metabolic properties of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B based on the provided guidelines, prioritizing enzyme-kinase properties (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.395 and 341.455 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (126.07) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but still acceptable. Ligand B (76.36) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.828) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.821) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 7 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.238) is quite low, indicating a less drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.827) is excellent, suggesting good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.595) has a moderate DILI risk, but below the concerning threshold of 60. Ligand B (4.769) has a very low DILI risk, which is highly favorable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (54.207) and Ligand B (71.656) are both reasonable.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, Ligand B (-4.959) is worse than Ligand A (-5.279), suggesting lower intestinal absorption. However, the negative values are concerning and may indicate issues with the data.
**Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, Ligand B (-2.431) is worse than Ligand A (-1.407), suggesting lower solubility. However, the negative values are concerning and may indicate issues with the data.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.14) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.692) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.402) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-7.688) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and indicates a data error. This is a major red flag.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-31.456) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data error. Ligand B (6.999) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.002) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.018) also has very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, the negative values for half-life and the low QED are major concerns. The negative clearance for Ligand B is a critical data error, making it immediately unsuitable. However, even ignoring that error, Ligand B has a much better overall ADME profile (higher QED, lower DILI, better logP) and a reasonable half-life. The difference in binding affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B. Given the data issues with Ligand A, and the generally better profile of Ligand B, I would choose Ligand B as the more viable candidate, *assuming the negative clearance value is corrected*.

**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand B (57.682 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance than Ligand A (80.85 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand B (-19.505 hours) has a negative half-life, which is unusual. Ligand A (11.163 hours) is more reasonable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.693 and 0.038).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-9.9 and -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 1.1 kcal/mol advantage.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial. While Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a much lower DILI risk. The negative solubility and half-life for Ligand B are concerning, but the lower DILI and better metabolic stability are more important for an enzyme target. The low logP of Ligand B is a significant drawback.
Considering the balance of these factors, Ligand A's superior binding affinity, despite its higher DILI risk, makes it the more promising candidate, assuming the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications.

Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and significantly lower hERG risk. However, Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better solubility. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both compounds are concerning, but the significantly better affinity of Ligand A is likely to outweigh these issues, especially as solubility can be improved through formulation strategies. The DILI risk for Ligand A is also much lower.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the better QED, metabolic stability, and Pgp profile of Ligand B, the significantly superior binding affinity and lower hERG/DILI risk of Ligand A make it the more promising drug candidate. The potency advantage is substantial and can potentially compensate for the ADME liabilities.

**DILI:** Ligand A (39.201) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.209). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (94.494) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (54.13).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.452) has a lower Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.251), but both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.938) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.44).
**hERG:** Both ligands have similar hERG inhibition liability (0.558 and 0.649), which is acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.327) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.962), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.108 hours) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (6.991 hours), a major advantage for dosing frequency.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.572 and 0.304).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in properties related to absorption (TPSA, solubility, H-bonds) and safety (DILI). However, it suffers from lower metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life) and lower Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability and half-life, but has a higher DILI risk and worse absorption characteristics.
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the improved metabolic stability and half-life of Ligand B outweigh the slightly lower solubility and higher DILI risk, especially given the relatively modest difference in binding affinity. The DILI risk for Ligand B is still within an acceptable range.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.647, B: 0.615), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (55.487) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.169). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (88.91) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (57.619).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.3) has a much worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.648). Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (A: -3.03, B: -3.645). Solubility is a concern for both, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.916, B: 0.843), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (82.477) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.19). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (17.723) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (61.066). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.947, B: 0.533). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

The improved binding affinity of Ligand B is likely to outweigh its ADME liabilities, especially if further optimization can address the solubility and permeability issues.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh many ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). These are critical for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has slightly better TPSA, solubility, and lower DILI, the potency and metabolic stability advantages of Ligand B are more important.

2025-04-17 11:32:05,755 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [347.419, 86.28, 2.889, 0, 7, 0.845, 60.682, 92.4, -4.151, -3.98, 0.174, 57.951, -21.214, 0.179, -9.1]
**Ligand B:** [369.487, 91.76, 0.826, 2, 6, 0.708, 37.03, 31.912, -5.007, -1.297, 0.096, 3.031, 8.158, 0.043, 0]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (347.419) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** Both are acceptable (<=140), A (86.28) is better than B (91.76) for oral absorption.
3. **logP:** A (2.889) is optimal. B (0.826) is a bit low and might hinder permeation.
4. **HBD:** A (0) is excellent. B (2) is acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (7) is good. B (6) is also good.
6. **QED:** A (0.845) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.708) is still good, but less so.
7. **DILI:** A (60.682) is moderately risky. B (37.03) is much better, indicating a lower risk of liver injury. This is a significant advantage for B.
8. **BBB:** A (92.4) is excellent, suggesting good brain penetration. B (31.912) is poor. However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.151) is very poor. B (-5.007) is also poor. Both have issues with intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.98) is poor. B (-1.297) is also poor, but better than A. Solubility is important for enzymes.
11. **hERG:** A (0.174) is very low risk. B (0.096) is even lower, a slight advantage for B.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (57.951) is moderate. B (3.031) is *very* low, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for B, crucial for an enzyme target.
13. **t1/2:** A (-21.214) is very short, suggesting rapid clearance. B (8.158) is better, but still not ideal.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.179) is low efflux, good. B (0.043) is even lower, excellent.
15. **Affinity:** A (-9.1) is *significantly* better than B (0). A has a much stronger binding affinity. This is the most important factor for an enzyme target.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** A wins decisively.
* **Metabolic Stability:** B wins decisively (much lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** B is slightly better.
* **hERG:** B is slightly better.
* **DILI:** B is significantly better.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has superior ADME properties (especially metabolic stability and lower DILI risk), the *massive* difference in binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol vs. 0 kcal/mol) for Ligand A is a game-changer. A >1.5 kcal/mol advantage is considered significant, and here we have a 9.1 kcal/mol difference. This suggests A is far more likely to be potent enough to be effective, even if its ADME properties require further optimization. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of A are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The metabolic stability of B is excellent, but without sufficient potency, it won't be effective.
Therefore, I recommend prioritizing **Ligand A**.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (28.779) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-1.666), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.056) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.035), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.9), but the difference is only 0.1 kcal/mol. Given the significant ADME advantages of Ligand A, this small difference in affinity is unlikely to be decisive.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate. It has superior QED, lower hERG risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. While both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the other advantages of Ligand A make it a better starting point for optimization. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues will be crucial for either compound, but Ligand A's other properties are more favorable.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (57.7) is well below the 140 threshold and suitable for oral absorption. Ligand B (123.4) is still acceptable but higher, potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.8) is optimal. Ligand B (0.044) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA) is acceptable but higher, potentially affecting permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable QED values (A: 0.682, B: 0.642).
**DILI:** Ligand A (15.2) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (34.3), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (78.9) shows good BBB penetration, while Ligand B (61.3) is lower. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but it's a positive for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the assay or the compounds themselves. However, the magnitude is different, with Ligand A (-5.0) being more negative than Ligand B (-5.6).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. Ligand A (-2.3) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.1).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.354) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.019). This is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.8) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.9), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (3.9).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.105) shows lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.003), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's enough to consider, especially given the other favorable properties of A.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is significantly better due to its lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better logP, and slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand A has higher microsomal clearance, its longer half-life and superior safety profile outweigh this drawback. Ligand B's low logP is a significant concern, potentially hindering absorption.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.567 and -2.832). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.184 and 0.062). This is positive for both.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-18.799) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.349), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.237) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-0.309), further supporting its better metabolic stability.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (65.031) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (20.089) has a shorter half-life, but could be improved with structural modifications.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.665 and 0.011), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage often outweighs other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better TPSA and hERG profile, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. The dramatically stronger binding affinity (-8.4 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is decisive. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits much lower DILI risk and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.487 Da) is slightly better being closer to the lower end which can aid permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is significantly better than Ligand B (91.76). Lower TPSA generally improves oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (A: 2.948, B: 1.798) falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=6) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, potentially improving permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.663, B: 0.593), indicating reasonably good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (17.371) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (43.273), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (71.927) is better than Ligand B (28.655).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.923) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.807).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.015) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.591).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.54) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.342), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (50.436) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.597), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (44.66) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.123), a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.402, B: 0.25).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has better properties in terms of TPSA, DILI, hERG, and slightly better solubility and permeability, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 vs -8.5 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The improved metabolic stability (longer half-life) is particularly important. Although Ligand B has a higher DILI risk, the potency difference is substantial enough to potentially mitigate this risk through structural modifications during lead optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (341.415 Da) is slightly lower, which can be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (350.394 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential. Ligand A (90.12) is better than Ligand B (95.42).
**logP:** Ligand A (3.161) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.622) is on the lower side, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA, which is good. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (A: 0.798, B: 0.86), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (79.449) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (57.193), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (82.164) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (54.634), but this is not a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, Ligand A (-5.086) is worse than Ligand B (-4.775), suggesting lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is also unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, Ligand A (-4.388) is worse than Ligand B (-3.094), suggesting lower solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.474) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.281), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.53) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.475), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.652) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-20.054), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.042, B: 0.072).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is 1.2 kcal/mol, which is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from lower metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life) and lower logP. Ligand A has a better ADME profile with much better metabolic stability, but a higher DILI risk and slightly weaker binding.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is a significant advantage. While the DILI risk is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications. The binding affinity difference, while notable, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A.

**BBB:** Ligand B (80.031) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (69.678), but BBB isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.551 and -4.824). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so the absolute impact is unclear.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.761 and -0.885). Again, the scale is unspecified, but these suggest poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.636) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.079), which is a concern. Ligand B is much better here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.999) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (1.913), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher metabolic clearance, P-gp efflux, and hERG risk, and lower QED. Ligand B has better ADME properties (QED, DILI, hERG, Cl_mic, t1/2, Pgp), but its binding affinity is essentially non-existent.
Given the significant difference in binding affinity, and the fact that SRC is not a CNS target, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate *despite* its ADME liabilities. The potency advantage is likely to be more easily addressed through further optimization than trying to significantly improve the affinity of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (343.442 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (369.491 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.33) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (91.42) is higher, but still acceptable, though potentially slightly impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.023) is at the upper end of the optimal range, potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.017) is a bit low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 2 HBA) is optimal. Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) is acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly affect permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.832, B: 0.722), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.399) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (67.235), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.515) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (42.342), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.684) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability score, indicating poor absorption. Ligand B (-5.378) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.547) has poor solubility, which is concerning. Ligand B (-2.336) has better solubility, though still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.907) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.233), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (50.154) has a moderate microsomal clearance, while Ligand B (45.079) is slightly better, suggesting slightly improved metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (32.606) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-20.345) has a *negative* half-life, which is impossible and indicates a significant issue with the data or the molecule's stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.721) has moderate P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.087) has very low efflux, which is beneficial.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This 1.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh many ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, its *much* stronger binding affinity (-8.9 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) and significantly lower DILI and hERG risk make it the more promising candidate. The strong binding is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the lower toxicity risks are highly desirable. Ligand B's negative in vitro half-life is a showstopper.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (77.356) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (52.966). This is a significant concern.
**8. BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (63.435) and B (49.244) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.524 and -4.851), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-6.53) has very poor aqueous solubility, which is a major drawback. Ligand B (-2.761) is also poor, but better than A.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.51 and 0.173), which is good.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (70.127) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.656), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A (1.4 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand B exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and a longer half-life, which are crucial for *in vivo* efficacy. The difference in binding affinity (1.4 kcal/mol) is significant, but not insurmountable, and could potentially be addressed with further optimization. The lower DILI and longer half-life of Ligand B are more difficult to improve later in development. Considering the balance of properties, and prioritizing metabolic stability and safety for an enzyme target, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a concerningly high DILI risk (94.804 percentile). Ligand B has a much lower and acceptable DILI risk (44.591 percentile). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (83.87 and 92.012 percentile). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, we can still compare them.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual.
**hERG:** Both have low hERG risk (0.133 and 0.54 percentile).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance (-8.459 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (22.661 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a significantly longer half-life (21.887 hours) than Ligand B (2.397 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (0.104 and 0.157 percentile).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.411 and 362.392 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (75.8) is slightly higher than Ligand B (58.64). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but B is better.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.109 and 2.275), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBAs, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.84 and 0.764), indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (17.449 and 16.673 percentiles), which is favorable.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (83.172 and 81.466 percentiles), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.992) and Ligand B (-4.688) both have negative values, which is unusual. Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.024) and Ligand B (-2.201) both have negative values, suggesting poor solubility. Ligand B is better.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.812) and Ligand B (0.46) both have low hERG inhibition risk, which is good. Ligand B is better.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (91.086) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-2.34). Higher clearance means faster metabolism and lower metabolic stability, which is undesirable. Ligand B is much better.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-29.431) has a negative in vitro half-life, which is not possible and indicates a very short half-life. Ligand B (-7.047) is also negative, but less so.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.499) and Ligand B (0.042) both have low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B is better.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (>1.5 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its extremely poor in vitro half-life is a major red flag. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower clearance, better solubility, better hERG, lower P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is weaker. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is very attractive. While the poor half-life is concerning, it might be addressable through structural modifications during lead optimization. The ADME profile of Ligand B, while better, might not be sufficient to overcome the affinity gap.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (365.5 and 344.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.53) is higher than Ligand B (24.5). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is significantly better, increasing the likelihood of good cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (2.665 and 3.929) within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially leading to some solubility concerns, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 3. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10, but Ligand B is preferable due to fewer potential off-target interactions.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, high QED scores (0.871 and 0.876), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 55.1%, which is moderate. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 9.965%, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (79.1% and 85.3%), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.868 and -4.745). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the absolute values are similar, so this isn't a major differentiator.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.845 and -2.652). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the values are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.188) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.907), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.927) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (18.427), indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is preferable here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.45 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (6.087 hours). This is a positive for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.166 and 0.266), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol), which is excellent and a major driver of potency.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands have significant issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility. However, Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity (-7.6 vs -6.4 kcal/mol). While Ligand B boasts superior metabolic stability and half-life, the difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to outweigh these benefits, especially for a kinase inhibitor where potency is crucial. The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds are serious concerns that would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but starting with the more potent compound (Ligand A) is a more rational approach.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly higher logP of Ligand A, its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better binding affinity are attractive. However, the *major* issue for both compounds is the very poor predicted solubility and permeability (negative Caco-2 values). Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life, which is a substantial benefit. Given the critical importance of solubility and permeability for oral bioavailability, and the longer half-life of B, I would cautiously favor Ligand B, hoping that the negative predictions can be overcome with formulation strategies. However, both compounds require significant medicinal chemistry efforts to address the solubility/permeability issues.

9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both compounds.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both compounds.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk. This is excellent for both.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (17.456) is much lower than B (41.334), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for A.
13. **t1/2:** B (9.373) has a slightly longer half-life than A (7.995), which is preferable.
14. **Pgp:** Both are very low, indicating minimal P-gp efflux. This is good for both.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-6.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than A (0 kcal/mol). This is a *major* advantage for B. A binding difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh other drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
Despite A's better QED, DILI, and Cl_mic, the *substantial* difference in binding affinity (-6.8 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) overwhelmingly favors **Ligand B**. The stronger binding is likely to translate to greater efficacy, and can potentially compensate for the slightly lower QED and higher DILI risk. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are problematic for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.66) is higher than Ligand B (49.41). Both are below 140, but B is better for absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.443 and 3.367), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to some off-target effects, but it's not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA. Ligand B is preferable here, as fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.787 and 0.79), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (46.297) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (22.644). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (94.223) has a much higher percentile than Ligand A (57.619).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with permeability prediction. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the values are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.443) has a slightly lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.532), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.522) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.758). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (37.163) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (0.633), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.235) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.156), which is better for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, and the 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity, a lower DILI risk, and better BBB penetration. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and lower P-gp efflux. The difference in binding affinity is significant enough to outweigh the ADME advantages of Ligand A. While Ligand A's metabolic stability is attractive, the potency of Ligand B is more critical for an enzyme target.

**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (A: 62.233, B: 83.327). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.106) has very poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.634) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (A: -3.159, B: -3.311). This could pose formulation challenges, but is not a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.399, B: 0.452).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.076) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.239), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.013, B: 0.069).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) than Ligand B. However, it has a much higher DILI risk and poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, strong binding affinity and metabolic stability are paramount. The 1.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications in later stages of optimization. The poor Caco-2 permeability is also a concern, but could be addressed through formulation strategies. The better metabolic stability of Ligand A is a significant advantage for an enzyme target.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.896 and 0.811), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (31.989) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.568), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (77.976) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (43.001), although this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.047) and Ligand B (-4.996) have similar, and very poor, Caco-2 permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.918) and Ligand B (-2.651) have poor solubility. This is a concern, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.259) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.327) is also low, but slightly higher.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (49.543) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-0.307) has *negative* clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests excellent metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.436) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand B (-7.763) also has a negative half-life, also likely an error.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.048 and 0.131), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (-9.1 and -8.8 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable half-life data, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk and *extremely* favorable microsomal clearance (negative value indicates exceptional stability) outweigh the slightly lower logP and BBB. The binding affinities are comparable. The poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed during formulation. The negative half-life values are concerning and would need to be experimentally verified, but the other factors favor Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.479 and 372.441 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.1) is better than Ligand B (97.11), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but A is closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (not a priority here).
**logP:** Ligand A (0.8) is slightly lower than optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (2.1) is within the ideal range. This favors B slightly.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (A: 5, B: 5) are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.636, B: 0.712), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (28.616) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (59.403). This is a major advantage for A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (39.511) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (77.821), but BBB is not a priority for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.582) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.143), both are very poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.916) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.306). This is a significant advantage for A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.353) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.271). Lower is better, so A is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.844) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.921), indicating lower metabolic stability. This favors B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.771) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (12.075), indicating lower stability. This favors B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.051) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.099), which is beneficial.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for B, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, it has a higher DILI risk and lower aqueous solubility. Ligand A has better solubility, lower DILI, and lower hERG risk, but weaker binding and poorer metabolic stability. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the 1.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the DILI risk of Ligand B is a concern, it's not excessively high, and could potentially be mitigated with further optimization. The solubility of B is a concern, but not as critical as potency.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.3) by 1.3 kcal/mol. This difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of both compounds, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.6 vs -6.3 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. While the logP is suboptimal, the strong binding may compensate. The solubility issue would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and P-gp efflux, while Ligand B shows better solubility, DILI risk, and Caco-2 permeability. The binding affinity is the same for both. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved metabolic stability and longer half-life of Ligand A are crucial. While Ligand B's solubility and DILI are better, these can potentially be addressed through formulation or minor structural modifications. The better metabolic profile of Ligand A is more difficult to improve post-hoc.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.587 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.938 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-3.424 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and suggests an issue with the data. Ligand B (-7.991 hours) also has a negative half-life. These values are unreliable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.003) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.07) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (-8.4 kcal/mol and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. While its logP is slightly low, the other advantages, particularly the safety profile and metabolic stability, outweigh this drawback.

2025-04-17 11:41:26,224 - INFO - Reasoning:
Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.447 and 349.406 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (86.63 and 82.53) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.257 and 0.972) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are acceptable, staying within the guidelines of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.801 and 0.83), indicating a strong drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (39.201 and 32.726), both below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (65.529 and 63.164). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.762 and -4.752). This is unusual, and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and may not be directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.96 and -1.821). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.353 and 0.185), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a moderate Cl_mic (46.693), while Ligand B has a very low (and negative) Cl_mic (-0.162). This is a *major* advantage for Ligand B, indicating significantly better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-9.512), which is not physically possible. Ligand B has a very short half-life (-23.759), also not physically possible. These values are problematic and suggest issues with the experimental setup or data reporting.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.313 and 0.025).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity (-7.7 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's within the range where it could be a deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower microsomal clearance (higher metabolic stability) of Ligand B is a critical advantage for an enzyme target. The solubility of both is poor, but metabolic stability is more crucial for kinase inhibitors. The negative half-life values are concerning for both, but the negative Cl_mic for Ligand B is a stronger indicator of favorable metabolism.

4. **HBD:** Both are acceptable (A: 2, B: 1). B is slightly better.
5. **HBA:** Both are acceptable (A: 5, B: 6). A is slightly better.
6. **QED:** A (0.861) is excellent, indicating strong drug-like properties. B (0.421) is considerably lower and less desirable.
7. **DILI:** A (50.33) is good, indicating low liver injury risk. B (69.833) is higher, suggesting a moderate risk.
8. **BBB:** A (88.445) is very good, suggesting reasonable brain penetration if needed. B (60.644) is lower. While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk. This is excellent for both.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (8.911) is much lower than B (65.612), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
13. **t1/2:** A (-24.407) is much longer than B (135.866), indicating a longer half-life and potentially less frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** Both are very low, indicating minimal P-gp efflux. This is good for both.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-7.2) is slightly better than A (-7.9), but the difference is relatively small (0.3 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While B has a slightly better binding affinity, A significantly outperforms it in metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), DILI risk, QED, and BBB. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but these can be addressed with formulation strategies. The slight advantage in binding affinity of B is unlikely to overcome the substantial ADME advantages of A.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall profile, **Ligand A** is the more viable drug candidate.

Ligand B has better metabolic stability and lower hERG risk, but its TPSA is high, logP is low, and DILI risk is elevated. Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is not enough to overcome its significant drawbacks in TPSA and DILI. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but formulation strategies could potentially address this.

**DILI:** Ligand A (66.731) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (80.186), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (83.831) is higher than Ligand B (46.879), but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.998) has better predicted Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.445), though both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.725) has slightly better predicted solubility than Ligand B (-3.018), though both are negative values, indicating low solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.451) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.32), which is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.855) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.575), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.336 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-31.068 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 and 0.033), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). While the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, it contributes to the overall preference for Ligand A.

Ligand B is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and lower hERG risk. While the negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning, the substantial advantage in safety and metabolic stability outweighs these concerns, especially given the similar binding affinities. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a red flag, but could be an error in the data.

**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively high DILI risk, but Ligand B (73.013) is slightly lower than Ligand A (77.2). This is a concern for both, but less so for B.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.078) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (41.218).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.848) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.315).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-3.685) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.501).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.595, Ligand B: 0.726), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (46.228 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (59.301 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (73.2 and 75.27) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.222 and 2.751) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 3 HBA) both have acceptable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well below the limits of 5 and 10 respectively.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.863) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.596), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (55.68) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (12.524). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (81.582) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (67.933).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual, but we can assume that a less negative value is better. Ligand A (-4.859) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.756).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values. Again, we can assume that a less negative value is better. Ligand A (-3.611) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.069).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.656) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.111), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.112 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (55.525 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.308 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-23.427 hours).

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior QED score, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk. While its DILI risk is higher, the improvements in metabolic stability and safety parameters are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. Ligand B's only significant advantage is slightly better binding affinity, which isn't substantial enough to overcome the ADME liabilities.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a very high DILI risk and an impossible half-life. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and a less problematic (though still negative) half-life, but its binding affinity is significantly weaker.
The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are major red flags. However, given the significant potency advantage of Ligand A, and the fact that solubility and permeability can sometimes be improved through formulation or structural modifications, I would initially favor Ligand A. The DILI risk is a serious concern, but could potentially be mitigated with further structural modifications. The negative half-life, however, is a showstopper and suggests a fundamental issue with the molecule or the data.
Considering the negative half-life of Ligand A, and the overall better ADME profile of Ligand B, I will select Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (382.848 and 383.583 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (82.26) is slightly higher than Ligand B (62.3). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is better positioned.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.596) is higher than the optimal range (1-3), potentially leading to solubility issues. Ligand B (2.962) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.583 and 0.701), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (88.639) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.424). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (61.729) is slightly better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.743) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-5.37) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.7) has very poor aqueous solubility, likely due to its high logP. Ligand B (-2.418) has better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition risk (0.555 and 0.578).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.767) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.729), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (95.978) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-0.673). This is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.22 and 0.169).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same strong binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol).
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a longer half-life, its significantly higher DILI risk and poor solubility are major drawbacks. The higher logP contributes to these issues. Ligand B, despite slightly higher clearance, presents a much more favorable ADME profile with lower DILI risk and better solubility. The binding affinity is identical for both. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and solubility are crucial, and Ligand B excels in these areas.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (371.375 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (405.933 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (81.67) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption and is also favorable. Ligand B (97.19) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.602) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (1.684) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, which are both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 7 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (A: 0.492, B: 0.755), with Ligand B being significantly better, indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (18.457) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (86.855), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (71.074) shows reasonable BBB penetration, while Ligand B (39.24) is lower, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.963) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a concern. Ligand B (-5.24) is also poor, but similar to A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.658) has very poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback. Ligand B (-3.139) is also poor, but worse than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.437) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.216) is even lower, also very good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.504) has a negative value, indicating very low clearance and excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (54.731) has high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. This is a critical difference.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.242) has a negative value, suggesting a very long half-life, which is highly desirable. Ligand B (-13.099) is also long, but not as good as A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (A: 0.005, B: 0.106), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and strong binding affinities (A: -8.1 kcal/mol, B: -8.9 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is likely not enough to overcome its other weaknesses.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly better binding affinity and QED, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk, superior metabolic stability (indicated by negative Cl_mic and half-life), and lower hERG risk outweigh the slightly lower logP and Caco-2 permeability. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but formulation strategies can often address this. The poor permeability is also a concern, but the strong binding affinity might compensate for that. The metabolic stability of Ligand A is a major advantage for an enzyme target.

Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors, metabolic stability and a reasonable half-life are crucial. The difference in binding affinity is relatively small (0.5 kcal/mol), and can potentially be optimized in later stages. The DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, but could be mitigated with structural modifications. The solubility/permeability issues of Ligand A are also addressable through prodrug strategies or formulation techniques.
Therefore, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

14. **Pgp:** A (0.12) is significantly better than B (0.078), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Both are excellent (-7.8 and -7.7 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Both ligands have excellent binding affinity. However, Ligand A clearly wins on metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), P-gp efflux, and has a better QED score. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, the improved metabolic profile of Ligand A is more critical for an enzyme target.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (408.208 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (346.431 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.64) is slightly higher than Ligand B (95.42). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, which is good.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.741) and Ligand B (0.913) are both within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 2 HBDs, which is acceptable. Ligand A has 7 HBAs, and Ligand B has 5 HBAs, both are within the acceptable range of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.742, B: 0.826), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (90.927) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (46.258). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Both have moderate BBB penetration (A: 53.393, B: 51.842).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and should be interpreted cautiously.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, these values should be interpreted cautiously.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.113, B: 0.101), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (18.374) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (60.205), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-19.986) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a potential data error. Ligand A (13.287) has a reasonable half-life. However, the negative value for B is a red flag.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.098, B: 0.022), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). While both are strong binders, the 1 kcal/mol difference is notable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and slightly better binding affinity. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the DILI and metabolic stability advantages of Ligand B outweigh the slightly better affinity of Ligand A. The negative in vitro half-life for Ligand B is a major data quality concern, but assuming it's an error, the rest of its profile is superior.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has several advantages: lower MW, lower TPSA, better QED, significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, and lower P-gp efflux. Ligand B has a longer half-life and slightly better binding affinity. However, the DILI risk for Ligand B is a major concern. The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the superior ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly the low DILI risk, makes it the more promising candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.547 and 361.427 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (50.36) is well below the 140 threshold, and favorable for absorption. Ligand B (113.08) is still under 140, but higher, potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.774) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects, but not drastically so. Ligand B (-0.33) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability and bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) and Ligand B (4 HBD, 6 HBA) both fall within acceptable ranges.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.725) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.537), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (65.452) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (11.361). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (77.743) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (24.738), but it's not a primary factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.549) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.818) is even worse. Both are problematic.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.871) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.293), but both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.771) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.166). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (66.366) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-1.929). Ligand B exhibits negative clearance, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or model. Assuming the negative value is an error, it suggests very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.744 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (44.552 hours). This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.188) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.009), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-11.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's superior binding affinity, its very low logP, poor solubility, high DILI risk, and the questionable negative clearance are major red flags. While the strong binding is attractive, the poor ADME profile makes it a less viable candidate. Ligand A has issues with solubility and permeability, and a shorter half-life, but its lower DILI risk, better hERG profile, and more reasonable ADME properties make it the more promising candidate, even with the weaker binding affinity. The negative clearance for Ligand B is also a data quality concern.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.374 and -4.735), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.075 and -0.01), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.244) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.499) also has a low hERG risk.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.353) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (20.089) has low clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is a priority for enzyme inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.226) has a very short half-life. Ligand B (-12.742) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data issue.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.082 and 0.003).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.3 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Both ligands have significant issues with predicted permeability and solubility. However, Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a lower P-gp efflux. While the negative half-life for Ligand B is a data quality concern, the substantial affinity advantage makes it more promising *if* the half-life data can be corrected or further investigated. The low DILI and hERG risks for both are positive. Given the priority for potency in kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in affinity, I would choose Ligand B.

2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (87.46) is good, under the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (49.41) is excellent, well below 140.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (0.543) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (4.86) is high and could cause solubility or off-target issues.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (2) is good. Ligand B (1) is also good.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (6) is good. Ligand B (3) is also good.

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (29.159) is very good, low risk. Ligand B (54.75) is moderate, slightly higher risk.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (57.425) is moderate. Ligand B (83.482) is good, but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less important.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.381 and -5.021). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.553 and -6.075). Again, this is unusual and suggests poor aqueous solubility.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.338) is very good, low risk. Ligand B (0.862) is moderate, slightly higher risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (12.042) is relatively low, suggesting good metabolic stability. Ligand B (95.829) is very high, indicating rapid metabolism.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-14.605) is very negative, indicating very short half-life. Ligand B (11.337) is positive, indicating a longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.023) is very low, suggesting minimal efflux. Ligand B (0.585) is moderate.
15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2) is significantly better than Ligand B (-9). This is a substantial difference in binding potency.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, we prioritize potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative Caco-2 and solubility values, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.2 vs -9 kcal/mol) is a major advantage, and it has a much better DILI score and hERG risk profile. While Ligand A has a shorter half-life and lower metabolic stability than Ligand B, the potency difference is substantial enough to outweigh these drawbacks, especially considering optimization can address metabolic stability. The poor solubility and permeability indicated by the negative values are concerning, but could be addressed through formulation strategies or further structural modifications. Ligand B's high metabolic clearance is a significant negative.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.094) is moderate. Ligand B (13.271) is very low, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.222) suggests a very short half-life. Ligand B (-6.383) is better, but still relatively short.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.187 and 0.017 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). However, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh the other significant ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior QED score, better TPSA, and a slightly better binding affinity. While its solubility and permeability are poor, its metabolic stability is moderate and hERG risk is low. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and lower DILI, but suffers from a significantly lower QED, poor permeability, and a low logP which can hinder absorption. Given the priority on potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk for kinase inhibitors, and considering the relatively small difference in binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed in further optimization, but Ligand A's overall profile is more favorable as a starting point.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.5 and 351.4 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.88) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (137.39) is approaching the limit, but still acceptable.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.399) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.428) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, but isn't a hard disqualifier.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 4 HBA and a reasonable number of HBDs (2 for A, 4 for B), staying within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.708 and 0.505, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.571) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (36.099), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (56.65) shows slightly better BBB penetration than Ligand A (40.675).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.771) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is concerning. Ligand B (-5.787) is also negative, but slightly worse. This suggests poor intestinal absorption for both, but A is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.02 and -1.891). This is a significant drawback that would require formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.279) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.109), which is a critical safety parameter.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.208) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-6.908), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (5.811) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (2.942), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.013), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). While A is better, the difference is not substantial enough to overcome other issues.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower DILI and hERG risk. However, its poor Caco-2 permeability and higher metabolic clearance are significant drawbacks. Ligand B, while having slightly weaker affinity, exhibits superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a lower DILI score. The solubility is poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 3. Ligand B is preferable here, as fewer HBA generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.61 and 0.79), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.81%), which is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much lower, and acceptable, DILI risk (35.75%).
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (90.07) than Ligand A (50.52), but this is not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the prediction method or the compounds themselves. However, Ligand B (-4.29) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.07).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor predicted solubility. Ligand B (-2.98) is slightly better than Ligand A (-4.69).
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.54 and 0.61), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.43) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (37.26), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a significantly longer in vitro half-life ( -23.00 hours) than Ligand A (31.62 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.15 and 0.11).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.3 kcal/mol difference can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have some ADME concerns (negative Caco-2 and solubility), Ligand B demonstrates a much better safety profile (significantly lower DILI risk), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and, most importantly, a substantially stronger binding affinity. The high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major disqualifier.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (362.857 Da) and Ligand B (349.391 Da) are both acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.4) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and excellent. Ligand B (121.62) is still within acceptable range, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.51) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.226) is below 1, which could indicate poor membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.576, B: 0.735), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (A: 57.697, B: 50.291), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 54.013, B: 54.905). BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.684) is very poor, while Ligand B (-5.46) is also poor. This suggests both compounds will have limited intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.672) is poor, while Ligand B (-2.211) is also poor, but slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.482, B: 0.182).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (88.09) is relatively high, indicating faster metabolism. Ligand B (-0.442) is excellent, suggesting high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (51.401) is acceptable, while Ligand B (7.808) is very short, which is a significant drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.456, B: 0.061), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 0.7 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, its excellent metabolic stability (very low Cl_mic) and low P-gp efflux are highly desirable. While its in vitro half-life is short, this can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. Ligand A's higher microsomal clearance is a concern.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBA, and Ligand B has 3 HBA, both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.745 and 0.919), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.424) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (35.789). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.537) is higher than Ligand B (68.282).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so we can't interpret these values definitively.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unknown, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.638 and 0.641), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (97.263) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (3.501), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.698) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-13.379). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.314 and 0.048).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.3 kcal/mol). This is a very important factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other issues.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and slightly better TPSA, Ligand B excels in the most critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly stronger binding affinity, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a lower P-gp efflux. The affinity difference is substantial enough to offset the slightly higher DILI risk and less favorable TPSA. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility are concerning but difficult to assess without knowing the scale.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.657 and 0.531), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (54.207) has a moderate DILI risk, but is acceptable. Ligand B (29.74) has a significantly lower DILI risk, which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (62.04) and Ligand B (39.667) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have very poor Caco-2 permeability (-5.041 and -5.089). This is a significant concern for oral bioavailability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.584 and -2.469). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.166 and 0.111), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.106 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.937 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.039 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-7.824 hours). This is another strong point for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.032).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.1 and -7.7 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other ADME considerations.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands bind well, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower DILI risk. Although its logP and solubility are slightly worse than Ligand B, the improved metabolic profile and lower toxicity risk are more important for an enzyme target like SRC. The Caco-2 permeability is a concern for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol). While both are excellent, the difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand A is slightly favored. The primary reason is its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and a *possible* half-life, assuming the negative value is an error) and lower DILI risk. The binding affinity difference is minimal. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major concern and should be investigated, but assuming it's an error, the other factors make it the more promising candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (43.195) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.601), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (96.782) has a higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (65.297), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.136) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is concerning. Ligand B (-4.44) is also negative but less so.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.841) has better solubility than Ligand B (-4.217).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.277) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.848), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (51.714) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (67.039), suggesting better metabolic stability.

**DILI:** Ligand A (32.105) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.691), which is preferable. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (53.083) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (83.482). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.711 and -4.752). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be difficult to interpret without knowing the base of the log.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.382 and -4.063). Again, these are on a log scale and suggest poor solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.407) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.616), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.022) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.304), indicating much better metabolic stability. This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.938) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (23.185), but both are reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.024) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.465), which is favorable for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (1.4 kcal/mol) and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, lower hERG, much lower Cl_mic, lower P-gp efflux) and better solubility and TPSA. However, Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity. Given that we are targeting an enzyme, potency is paramount. The 1.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While Ligand B's higher Cl_mic is a concern, it might be mitigated through formulation strategies or structural modifications. The slightly higher DILI and hERG risks are also manageable.

**BBB:** Ligand B (72.315) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (63.629). While not crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a minor positive.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.347) and Ligand B (-5.057) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so we can't interpret these values directly.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.245 and -3.48 respectively). This is a significant concern for *in vivo* bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.449) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.913), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.69) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.857), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (30.923) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (11.645), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.047) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.572), suggesting better oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.7 kcal/mol, which is a reasonable advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk. However, Ligand A exhibits superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux, which are critical for kinase inhibitors. Both have poor solubility and permeability. The difference in binding affinity (0.7 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh the advantages of Ligand A's improved pharmacokinetic properties, particularly its metabolic stability and reduced efflux.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (375.969 Da and 344.415 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (19.37) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (91.23) is higher, but still within a reasonable range, though potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.77) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (1.592) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.77 and 0.832), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both have acceptable DILI risk (41.877 and 36.099 percentiles), below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (92.051) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (50.058).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.876) is poor, indicating low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.368) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.411) is poor, consistent with its higher logP. Ligand B (-1.348) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.939 and 0.041), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.134 mL/min/kg) is higher than Ligand B (11.923 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-20.634 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error, and makes it difficult to assess. Ligand A (16.207 hours) is reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.593 and 0.035), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.2 and -8.0 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. However, the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold that could outweigh other issues.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While its Caco-2 and solubility are not ideal, they are better than Ligand A. The significantly lower microsomal clearance of Ligand B is a major advantage, suggesting better metabolic stability and potentially a longer duration of action. The error in Ligand B's half-life is concerning, but the other factors outweigh this. Ligand A's high logP, poor Caco-2 permeability, and higher clearance are significant drawbacks. The slight affinity advantage of Ligand A does not compensate for these issues.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk, but worse solubility.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly less optimal logP and Caco-2 permeability, its significantly superior binding affinity (-10.6 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) and substantially better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are crucial for an enzyme target. The lower DILI risk for Ligand B is also a significant advantage, mitigating the major concern with Ligand A. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The strong binding affinity of Ligand B suggests it is more likely to be a viable drug candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a concerningly high DILI risk (86.933), while Ligand B has a low DILI risk (21.869). This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (71.772 and 80.613), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.144 and -5.102), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but needs further investigation (negative values are often artifacts of the prediction method).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.466 and -3.83), also concerning, and requiring further investigation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.884 and 0.731), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (33.859) than Ligand B (79.7), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-6.446), which is impossible and indicates a prediction issue. Ligand B has a half-life of 18.824, which is reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has very low P-gp efflux (0.503) while Ligand B has moderate efflux (0.685).

**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.35) is significantly better than Ligand B (93.26). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and A is comfortably within that range, while B is approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.117) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues, but still within a manageable range. Ligand B (1.439) is on the lower side, which could hinder permeability. Optimal is 1-3, and A is slightly outside.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) is better balanced than Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA). Excessive HBA can sometimes reduce permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable QED values (0.862 and 0.848).
**DILI:** Ligand A (31.524) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (58.511). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (81.698) is better than Ligand B (68.941). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but it's a slight plus for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.597) is better than Ligand B (-5.131), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.5) is better than Ligand B (-2.552), indicating better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.843) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.159). This is a crucial advantage for A, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (68.881) has higher clearance than Ligand B (30.541), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-21.478) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (30.176). This is a major advantage for B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.435) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.054), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.4 and -8.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. However, the difference is small and likely not enough to outweigh the other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has several advantages: better TPSA, lower DILI risk, better BBB, better Caco-2 permeability, better solubility, and lower hERG risk. Ligand B has a longer half-life, but suffers from higher DILI risk, lower solubility, and higher hERG risk. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A appears to be the more promising candidate despite its slightly higher clearance. The lower DILI and hERG risks are particularly important.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a much longer in vitro half-life (10.272 hours) than Ligand A (69.034 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.327, B: 0.022).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better binding affinity, the extremely high DILI risk is a deal-breaker. Ligand B has a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and acceptable physicochemical properties. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the superior ADME-Tox profile outweighs this drawback.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.403 and 362.857 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.69) is slightly higher than Ligand B (64.35). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is better positioned.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.171) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.389) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 5. Both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.838 and 0.8), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (55.719 and 51.493), below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (74.913 and 65.374), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.589 and -4.56), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential issue for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.982 and -3.273), which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.136 and 0.235), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.543) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.497), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (64.516) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (14.514), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.46).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol difference threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's superior binding affinity (-9.6 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) is a major advantage that likely outweighs its slightly lower solubility and higher logP. While both have concerning Caco-2 and solubility values, the potency difference is significant. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), but the binding affinity is considerably weaker. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, potency is paramount, and the difference in affinity is substantial.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.379 and 344.371 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.14) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (107.55) is still reasonable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.609) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.099) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, though not severely.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 4 HBA) is well within acceptable limits. Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.901 and 0.718), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (67.429 and 68.282), placing them in a moderate risk category. This isn't a major differentiator.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.282) shows moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (17.216) is very low. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less crucial, but a slight advantage to A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.827) has poor Caco-2 permeability, a significant concern. Ligand B (-5.314) is also poor, but similar to A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.145) has poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback. Ligand B (-2.567) has better, but still poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.81) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.184) also has low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.576) has reasonable microsomal clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (-18.799) has *very* high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability, a major concern for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (40.147 hours) has a good in vitro half-life. Ligand B (21.237 hours) has a shorter half-life, consistent with its higher clearance.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.291 and 0.004), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol), a difference of 0.7 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, its major weakness is its very high microsomal clearance and consequently shorter half-life. This would likely necessitate a high dose and frequent administration. Ligand A has poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, but its metabolic stability is better, and its hERG risk is very low. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the better metabolic stability of Ligand A, combined with its low hERG risk, makes it the more promising candidate *despite* its solubility and permeability issues. Solubility and permeability can be addressed through formulation strategies, but poor metabolic stability is much harder to fix.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.841 and 346.427 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.4) is well below the 140 threshold, while Ligand B (78.87) is still acceptable but higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.355) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.461) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.893) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.573), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (29.857) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (65.413), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.564) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (47.809), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.742 and -4.737), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.283 and -2.121), indicating poor aqueous solubility, which is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.617) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.103), which is favorable for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (0.185) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (19.057), indicating much better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (8.679) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (34.694), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.259) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.033), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand B excels in key areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a slightly better binding affinity. Ligand A has a better QED and P-gp efflux, but these are outweighed by the superior safety and pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand B. The low logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the slightly better binding affinity might compensate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (401.857 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (375.485 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (116.07) is higher than Ligand B (56.67). While both are under 140, Ligand B's lower TPSA is more favorable for oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 1.974, B: 2.527), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 9 HBA, while Ligand B has 5. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10, but Ligand B is better.
**QED:** Both have good QED scores (A: 0.664, B: 0.83), indicating drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.806%), which is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (23.032%), making it significantly safer.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand B (83.831%) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (46.026%).
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Both have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.265, B: 0.762), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (45.321) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.507), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-17.179) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and suggests an issue with the data. Ligand A (110.316) has a reasonable half-life.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.367 and 349.431 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.71) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and even below 90, suggesting good potential for cell permeability. Ligand B (91.65) is still acceptable, but closer to the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.202) is optimal. Ligand B (1.473) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation, but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 6 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both have reasonable values, well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.524 and 0.576), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (84.8%) compared to Ligand B (40.713%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (71.966) is higher than Ligand B (55.487), but this is less critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.693) is substantially worse than Ligand B (-5.151). Lower values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.605) is significantly better than Ligand B (-1.793). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.793) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.35), but both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (92.964) has a higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability, compared to Ligand B (9.932). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.005) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (14.924), which is generally desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.439) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.109), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a 1.8 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, its significantly higher DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance are major red flags. The lower Caco-2 permeability is also a concern. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable ADME profile, particularly regarding safety (DILI) and metabolic stability. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and avoiding toxicity are crucial. Therefore, Ligand B is the more viable drug candidate.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (109.3) is higher than the preferred <140 for oral absorption, but still acceptable. Ligand B (70.25) is excellent, well below 140.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (-0.123) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.155) is optimal, within the 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (3 and 2, respectively), below the threshold of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (5 and 3, respectively), below the threshold of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.677 and 0.877), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (93.951) has a high DILI risk, exceeding the 60% threshold. Ligand B (64.172) is still elevated but less concerning.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (43.893) and Ligand B (68.67) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.121) is very poor, indicating poor intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.797) is also poor, but slightly better.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.158 and -4.227). This could pose formulation challenges.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.023) has very low hERG inhibition risk. Ligand B (0.685) is slightly higher but still relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-19.799) has very low clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (31.134) has higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.499) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (24.632), which is desirable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.026 and 0.233).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-9.0 and -6.3 kcal/mol). Ligand A is significantly more potent, with a 2.7 kcal/mol advantage.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Comparison & Decision:**
Ligand A has a *much* stronger binding affinity, and excellent metabolic stability. However, its low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability are significant drawbacks. The high DILI risk is also concerning. Ligand B has a more balanced profile with better logP, acceptable DILI, and a longer half-life, although its affinity is lower and its metabolic clearance is higher.
The substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A (2.7 kcal/mol) is a major factor. While the ADME properties are suboptimal, medicinal chemistry efforts could potentially address the logP and permeability issues without sacrificing potency. The DILI risk is more challenging, but not insurmountable. Ligand B, while more balanced, lacks the potency needed to be a strong candidate.

**hERG:** Ligand A (0.629) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.165) also has a low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.312) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-12.543) has negative clearance, which is impossible and suggests an error in the data. Assuming the negative value is a data error, we can still say that Ligand A has better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (26.353 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (50.369 hours) has a better half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.125, B: 0.03), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very good binding affinity (-9.9 kcal/mol and -9.0 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.9 kcal/mol, which isn't substantial enough to overcome the ADME concerns of Ligand B.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.015 and 0.009).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a 1.1 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and better TPSA and HBA values. However, Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity. Both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. The improved affinity of Ligand B is a significant advantage for an enzyme inhibitor, and could be optimized with further medicinal chemistry.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.231) and Ligand B (-2.895). Both are negative, indicating poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.18) and Ligand B (0.561). Ligand A has a lower hERG risk, which is a positive.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (52.159) and Ligand B (33.643). Ligand B has lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability, which is crucial for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (52.598) and Ligand B (33.644). Ligand A has a longer half-life.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and in vitro half-life, the significantly higher DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand B demonstrates a superior safety profile (lower DILI, better hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a good QED score. The difference in binding affinity (0.4 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to overcome the safety and metabolic concerns associated with Ligand A. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety are paramount.

Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While it has a slightly higher logP and a moderately high DILI risk, the significantly improved potency and better metabolic stability (despite the negative half-life value, which is suspect) outweigh these concerns. Ligand A's low affinity makes it a less attractive candidate, despite its better hERG profile and lower P-gp efflux. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning and need further investigation, but the binding affinity difference is decisive.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (354.378) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (104.73) is higher than B (83.72). B is better here, being comfortably under 140 and closer to the preferred <90 for potential CNS penetration (though not a primary concern for SRC).
3. **logP:** Both are within the optimal range (1-3). B (1.635) is slightly lower, which *could* indicate better solubility, but both are acceptable.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable, B (0) is excellent. Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both have 5 HBA, which is acceptable.
6. **QED:** B (0.692) is better than A (0.376), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (39.395) is better than B (51.26), indicating lower liver injury risk.
8. **BBB:** B (94.223) is significantly better than A (58.24). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.16) is significantly worse than B (-4.636), indicating poorer intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** B (-2.346) is better than A (-3.21). Better solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
11. **hERG:** Both are similar (0.559 and 0.597), and represent a low risk.

13. **t1/2:** B (-55.172) is significantly better than A (-26.85), indicating a longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** B (0.141) is better than A (0.065), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.6) is *much* better than B (0). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage, which is a significant driver.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** Ligand A has a substantially stronger binding affinity. This is the most important factor.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand B is better.
* **Solubility:** Ligand B is better.
* **hERG:** Both are acceptable.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having better ADME properties across the board (QED, DILI, BBB, Caco-2, Solubility, Cl_mic, t1/2, Pgp), the *dramatic* difference in binding affinity (-8.6 kcal/mol vs. 0 kcal/mol) for Ligand A is decisive. A 8.6 kcal/mol difference is a huge advantage and likely outweighs the ADME drawbacks. While optimization of Ligand A's ADME profile would be necessary, the strong initial binding makes it the more promising starting point.

The logP of Ligand B is also more favorable. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.44) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (-0.803) is also negative, but less so. Both are problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.379) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.038), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.3 and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh the ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand B exhibits significantly lower DILI and hERG risk, and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern compared to the substantial advantages in safety and metabolic stability.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (52.307) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.527). Both are acceptable, but A is preferred.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (74.254) has a significantly higher BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (33.928). While not critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a slight advantage.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.266 and -5.174). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.349 and -3.859). Again, the scale is undefined, but suggests poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.751) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.461), which is a significant advantage. Lower hERG is crucial to avoid cardiotoxicity.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (59.173) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-17.402). This indicates lower metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.121) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-22.067). This further supports the lower metabolic stability of Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.415) has higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.042). This means Ligand B is less likely to be pumped out by P-gp, improving bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference and a major factor favoring Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the concerning permeability and solubility values (which need further investigation with defined scales), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.2 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of slightly higher clearance and P-gp efflux. The lower hERG risk and DILI are also important advantages. Ligand B's extremely poor binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, even with better metabolic stability and lower efflux.

2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (60.25) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and even better for potential CNS penetration. Ligand B (98.32) is still under 140, but higher, potentially impacting absorption slightly.
3. **logP:** Both ligands (A: 1.911, B: 1.239) are within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which *could* indicate slightly lower permeability, but it's not a major concern.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (0) is ideal, minimizing potential for off-target interactions and maximizing permeability. Ligand B (3) is acceptable, but less optimal.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (5) is good. Ligand B (4) is also good.
6. **QED:** Both ligands (A: 0.786, B: 0.714) have good drug-like scores, exceeding the 0.5 threshold.
7. **DILI:** Both ligands have similar, acceptable DILI risk (A: 41.8, B: 42.8), both below the 60 threshold.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (81.8) shows better potential for BBB penetration than Ligand B (43.9). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is a lower priority.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.634) has a more negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and suggests *poor* permeability. Ligand B (-5.315) is also negative, but slightly worse. This is a concerning sign for both, but worse for B.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.748) has a more negative solubility value, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-1.874) is better, suggesting improved solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG risk (A: 0.43, B: 0.468).
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (47.282) has a higher microsomal clearance, suggesting faster metabolism. Ligand B (-18.543) has a *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely an error in the data, but *indicates* very high metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (0.001) has a very short in vitro half-life. Ligand B (-27.17) also has a negative value, which is not physically possible, but *indicates* a very long half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have similar, low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.505, B: 0.074). Ligand B is slightly better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3). This is a 0.9 kcal/mol difference, which is significant.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand A, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The negative values for Cl_mic and t1/2 are likely data errors, but strongly suggest significantly improved metabolic stability and a longer half-life, which are crucial for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B also has better solubility. While both have concerning Caco-2 values, the metabolic advantages of Ligand B outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity. The better solubility of Ligand B also helps mitigate potential issues arising from the Caco-2 values.

The significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, although the half-life value is concerning) outweigh the affinity difference. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are a concern for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The stronger binding of Ligand A might be overcome with optimization, whereas mitigating the higher DILI and poor metabolic stability of Ligand A would be more challenging.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is significantly better than Ligand B (72.8), being well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B is higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.696) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.835) is on the lower side. A logP below 1 can sometimes hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 2 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (3 HBD, 4 HBA). Lower counts generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.769) has a much better QED score than Ligand B (0.461), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (3.18%) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (16.208%), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (Ligand A: 97.402%, Ligand B: 74.098%), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.294) has a negative value, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.027) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.915) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.642), but both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.679, Ligand B: 0.622), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (28.781 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (47.149 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (0.642 hours) has a very short half-life, while Ligand A (-21.973 hours) has a negative value which is not physically possible. This indicates a significant issue with the experimental setup or the ligand itself.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.058, Ligand B: 0.066).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol). While both are excellent, the 1.2 kcal/mol difference is noteworthy.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite the slightly lower binding affinity. Its significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, though the half-life is very short) are major advantages. Ligand A has a better QED, but its extremely poor Caco-2 permeability and nonsensical half-life are dealbreakers. The solubility of both is poor, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a more reasonable half-life. Ligand A's high microsomal clearance is a major red flag for an enzyme inhibitor, as it suggests rapid metabolism and potentially low *in vivo* exposure. The slightly better hERG and BBB for Ligand A are outweighed by the metabolic stability issues.

**BBB:** Ligand A (70.027) is acceptable, but not highly brain-penetrant. Ligand B (54.246) is lower, suggesting limited BBB penetration. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and are often less predictive than logP and TPSA.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.714) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.169), which is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (79.318) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-5.389) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely indicates a data error or an extremely stable compound. This is a huge advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.904 hours) is reasonable. Ligand B (27.718 hours) is better, indicating greater metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.278) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.018) has very low P-gp efflux, which is excellent.

Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand B's superior binding affinity, significantly lower logP (potentially improving permeability despite the Caco-2 value), very low DILI and P-gp efflux, and exceptionally low (and likely erroneous) microsomal clearance and long half-life make it a more promising starting point. The negative clearance is a red flag that needs investigation, but even if it's a data error, the other properties strongly favor Ligand B. Ligand A's higher DILI and weaker binding affinity are less desirable.

Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and hERG, Ligand B excels in crucial areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better Caco-2 permeability. The slightly lower affinity of Ligand B is likely addressable through further optimization, while improving the ADME profile of Ligand A would be more challenging.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.785 and 346.391 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (108.49 and 106.15) are slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but not drastically so.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.913) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.595) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, but isn't a severe concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, both well within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 7 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.725 and 0.849), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 89.841, which is high. Ligand B has a DILI risk of 67.429, still elevated, but significantly lower than Ligand A. This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (26.638) and Ligand B (66.499) are not particularly relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.549 and -5.148), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This needs further investigation, but is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.232 and -2.454), which is also unusual and indicates very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.033) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.104) also has a low hERG risk, but slightly higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-24.739) has a very low (and negative) microsomal clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (16.139) has a moderate clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. This is a strong point for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-17.296) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a data error or unusual behavior. Ligand B (0.433) has a very short half-life, which is undesirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.043 and 0.032), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's excellent metabolic stability and low hERG risk, its *very high* DILI risk and nonsensical half-life are major red flags. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are also concerning. Ligand B, while having a shorter half-life and slightly higher DILI, has a significantly better binding affinity and a more reasonable DILI profile. The lower binding affinity of ligand A is unlikely to be overcome by its slightly better metabolic stability and hERG profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (363.395 and 367.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand B (95.07) is significantly better than Ligand A (125.2), being closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand B (2.419) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand A (0.16) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (1) is even better.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is acceptable, and Ligand B (9) is still within the reasonable limit of 10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.656) is better than Ligand B (0.505), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (77.588) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (91.043), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand B (0.044) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand A (0.165), a crucial advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-12.543) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible. This is a major red flag and suggests an issue with the data or the prediction method. Ligand B (97.357) has high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (50.369) has a better half-life than Ligand B (23.029).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.03) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.252), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, the negative microsomal clearance is a critical flaw. It indicates a fundamental problem with the prediction or the molecule itself. Ligand B, while having weaker binding, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and, while not ideal, a plausible (though high) clearance. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety for an enzyme inhibitor, and the highly suspect negative clearance for Ligand A, Ligand B is the more viable candidate.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (390.398 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (342.439 Da), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (102.87) is higher than Ligand B (71.34). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is significantly better positioned, especially considering SRC is not a CNS target.
3. **logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.686, B: 3.492), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to some solubility issues, but it's not a major concern.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A has 0 HBD, while Ligand B has 2. Both are within the acceptable limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A has 8 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the 10 limit.
6. **QED:** Ligand B (0.874) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand A (0.401), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (62.156) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (49.787). Both are acceptable (<60 is good), but B is preferable.
8. **BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (70.105) is slightly better than Ligand B (61.225).
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP values, both are very poor.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.587) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-4.072). Solubility is important for kinases, and B is better.
11. **hERG:** Both have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.106, B: 0.373). Both are good.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (29.376) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (109.965), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (82.956) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.984). This is a significant advantage for dosing convenience.
14. **Pgp:** Both have low Pgp efflux liability (A: 0.225, B: 0.109). Both are good.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a better binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference and a major positive for Ligand A.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important. While Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), solubility, and has a better QED and DILI profile. The large difference in binding affinity is a significant advantage for Ligand A, but the ADME properties of Ligand B are much more favorable.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, the significantly better ADME properties of Ligand B, particularly its metabolic stability and solubility, make it the more promising drug candidate. A strong binding affinity is important, but it's useless if the compound is rapidly metabolized or poorly absorbed. Ligand B's profile suggests it has a higher probability of achieving adequate *in vivo* exposure and efficacy.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.503 and 368.543 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (69.64) is better than Ligand B (78.43), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.78 and 2.083), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=3) is slightly better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=4) as it has fewer H-bonds, potentially improving permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.724) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.516), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.067) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (11.128), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (50.446 and 50.756), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.623) has better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.563), suggesting better absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have similar, poor aqueous solubility (-2.725 and -2.723). This is a potential issue for both, but not a deciding factor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.251) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.423), a crucial advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (40.612) has slightly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (44.304), suggesting better metabolic stability, but the difference isn't huge.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.486) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-4.172), a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.105) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.065), which is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0), a critical advantage. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is superior to Ligand B across most critical parameters. It has a better QED score, significantly lower DILI and hERG risk, better Caco-2 permeability, a longer half-life, and, most importantly, a much stronger binding affinity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (346.471 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (384.933 Da) is still well within the range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.43) is higher than Ligand B (52.29). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is better.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.038, B: 2.844), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (HBD <=5, HBA <=10).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.832) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.591), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both have low DILI risk (A: 30.903, B: 34.587), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (A: 68.282, B: 68.166). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again unusual and suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.437, B: 0.56), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.195) has a significantly lower Cl_mic than Ligand B (75.019). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (39.386) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (6.846). This is a significant advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.052, B: 0.352).
**Binding Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinities (A: -8.1, B: -8.2). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small (0.1 kcal/mol).
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a longer half-life and slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is the stronger candidate overall. Its superior QED score, significantly lower microsomal clearance (indicating better metabolic stability), and acceptable values for other key parameters outweigh the slight advantage of Ligand B's half-life and affinity. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial, and Ligand A excels in this area.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life), lower DILI risk, and, most importantly, stronger binding affinity outweigh the slightly lower logP and P-gp efflux. The affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome formulation challenges related to solubility and permeability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B based on the provided guidelines, prioritizing enzyme-kinase specific properties (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (393.77 and 384.889 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.63) is better than Ligand B (84.42). Both are acceptable, but lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand B (1.229) is significantly better than Ligand A (4.867). Ligand A's high logP raises concerns about solubility and potential off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands are acceptable (2 and 1 respectively), falling under the threshold of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands are acceptable (4 and 6 respectively), falling under the threshold of 10.

**DILI:** Ligand B (84.219) is better than Ligand A (93.525), indicating a lower risk of drug-induced liver injury. Both are reasonably acceptable, but lower is better.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (40.675) is slightly better than Ligand A (30.128), but not a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.71) is better than Ligand B (-5.116). Higher values indicate better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.012) is better than Ligand B (-3.229). Higher solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.19 and 0.203), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.697) is significantly better than Ligand B (32.543). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, a key factor for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (22.048) is significantly better than Ligand B (2.278). A longer half-life is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.074 and 0.079).

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (3.347 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (62.435 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-1.527 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a red flag. Ligand A (69.034 hours) has a good in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.048) exhibits very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand A (0.327) has a moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its extremely high DILI risk and relatively high metabolic clearance are major drawbacks. Ligand B has a better QED, lower DILI, and better metabolic stability and P-gp efflux. However, its binding affinity is essentially non-existent, and its in vitro half-life is impossible. Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the severity of the DILI risk for Ligand A, I would still lean towards Ligand B as a starting point for optimization, despite the affinity issue. The affinity can be improved through medicinal chemistry efforts, but mitigating a high DILI risk is often much more challenging. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data error that needs to be resolved.

**DILI:** Ligand A (8.181) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (37.069). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have acceptable BBB penetration (Ligand A: 79.062, Ligand B: 81.349), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and the absolute magnitude matters less than the relative comparison.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.167 and -3.136). This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.904, Ligand B: 0.388). Ligand B is slightly better here, but both are acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.455) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.397), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-34.235) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.687). This is a significant benefit, suggesting less frequent dosing could be possible.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.079, Ligand B: 0.074).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). The difference is 1.4 kcal/mol, which is significant, but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is the superior candidate due to its significantly lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and longer in vitro half-life. The solubility is a concern for both, but the ADME advantages of Ligand A outweigh the minor potency difference, especially for an enzyme target where metabolic stability is crucial.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.772) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-11.694), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.099 and 0.037).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge (1.1 kcal/mol), it's enough to consider.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are key for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from a low logP, which could limit its permeability, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand A has better solubility, permeability, and a significantly lower DILI risk, but its metabolic stability is a concern.
Considering the balance, the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, combined with its longer half-life, outweighs the lower logP and higher DILI. The lower logP might be addressed with prodrug strategies. The DILI risk, while higher, is still moderate.

**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB score (91.47%) than Ligand A (60.88%), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.275) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is concerning. Ligand B (-4.598) is also negative, but less so. Both suggest poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.699 and -2.462), indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.154 and 0.367), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.945) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (22.188). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.16 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-17.79 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.104 and 0.04), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.1 and -8.9 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is relatively small.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk outweigh the slightly weaker binding and negative Caco-2/solubility values. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The improved metabolic stability is crucial for an enzyme target, as it translates to a longer duration of action and potentially lower dosing requirements.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.403 and 350.463 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.02) is slightly higher than Ligand B (78.67). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but B is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.19) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.274) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 5 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.669 and 0.766), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.411) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (24.234), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (62.078) and Ligand B (50.911) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.888 and -4.926), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but doesn't differentiate them.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.669 and -0.749), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both, but doesn't differentiate them.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.026) has a very low hERG risk, slightly better than Ligand B (0.226).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-7.812) has *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.754). This indicates significantly better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.919) has a negative half-life, which is unusual. Ligand B (8.619) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.022 and 0.073).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better logP, which is crucial for permeability. However, Ligand A has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a slightly lower hERG risk. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the difference in Cl_mic is substantial. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is highly important. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to overcome the substantial difference in metabolic stability.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.009) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.581), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in potency (binding affinity), DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and metabolic stability. Its logP and solubility are concerning, but the strong binding affinity might compensate. Ligand B has better logP, QED, BBB, and in vitro half-life, but suffers from a much higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability, and weaker binding affinity.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency and metabolic stability are paramount. Ligand A's superior binding affinity and lower clearance are decisive factors. While its solubility and permeability are problematic, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher DILI risk associated with Ligand B is a significant concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.385 Da and 345.403 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.23) is well below the 140 threshold, and good for oral absorption. Ligand B (93.26) is also below the threshold, but closer.
**logP:** Both ligands have optimal logP values (2.092 and 1.487, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBAs, and Ligand B has 6. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.902 and 0.856), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.83) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (54.634), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (92.827) has significantly better BBB penetration than Ligand B (68.282). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a potential advantage.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.685) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.055).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.57) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.788). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.458) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.084). This is a significant advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.61) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (48.946). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.258) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-23.603). This is another strong indicator of better metabolic stability and potentially less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.062 and 0.057 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.5 kcal/mol and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A excels in crucial areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and slightly better binding affinity. The better solubility of Ligand A is also a plus. The slightly higher DILI risk for Ligand A is not a major concern given the overall profile.

**BBB:** Ligand A (70.919%) has moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (91.121%) has excellent BBB penetration. While SRC is not necessarily a CNS target, better BBB penetration generally correlates with better overall bioavailability and distribution.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.544 and -4.309), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.859 and -4.521). This is a significant drawback for both compounds and would require formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.295) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.833), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (111.24) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.154). This indicates that Ligand A will be metabolized more quickly, leading to a shorter half-life and potentially lower efficacy.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.664) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-18.538). The negative value for Ligand B is unusual, but it still indicates better stability compared to Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.36 and 0.461), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol), although the difference is relatively small.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.** While both ligands have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better half-life), lower DILI risk, and better BBB penetration. The slightly improved binding affinity of Ligand B further supports this conclusion. The enzyme-specific priorities of potency and metabolic stability heavily favor Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Ligand A (453.324 Da) is within the ideal range, while Ligand B (358.389 Da) is also acceptable, though slightly lower.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (53.6) is good for oral absorption. Ligand B (87.32) is higher, potentially impacting absorption, but not drastically.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.468) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (0.897) is low, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 4 HBA, both acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.609 and 0.723).
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 65.684, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 36.254, which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (68.554 and 62.97), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual and potentially problematic.
**Solubility:** Ligand A has a very poor solubility (-5.244). Ligand B has a slightly better, but still poor, solubility (-1.741).
**hERG:** Ligand A has a low hERG risk (0.904), which is good. Ligand B also has a low hERG risk (0.585).
**Cl_mic:** Ligand A has a moderate microsomal clearance (113.274 mL/min/kg). Ligand B has a very low (and favorable) clearance (-16.997 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**t1/2:** Ligand A has a moderate in vitro half-life (57.759 hours). Ligand B has a very short in vitro half-life (-15.714 hours), which is a significant drawback.
**Pgp:** Ligand A has a low Pgp efflux liability (0.594). Ligand B also has a low Pgp efflux liability (0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.2 and -7.3 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both ligands exhibit excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (354.407 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (372.462 Da) is also well within range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (138.78) is close to the upper limit for good oral absorption (<=140), while Ligand B (84.5) is excellent.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.421) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.875) is within the optimal range (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBD and 6 HBA, acceptable values. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable and potentially better for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.327, B: 0.765), but Ligand B is significantly better, indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (15.083) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (60.217) is approaching a higher risk level, but not critically high.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable, and other parameters should be considered.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.014) has very poor solubility, a significant drawback. Ligand B (-3.389) also has poor solubility, but is slightly better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.045, B: 0.38).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-1.767) has a negative clearance, which is not physically possible and likely indicates a data error or an *in vitro* to *in vivo* extrapolation issue. Ligand B (52.664) has a high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.103) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a data error. Ligand B (-5.794) has a short half-life, indicating rapid metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.007, B: 0.161).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (A: -9.5 kcal/mol, B: -8.7 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its extremely poor solubility, and the physically impossible clearance and half-life values make it a very unlikely candidate. Ligand B, while having a higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic stability, has a better overall profile with a more reasonable QED, logP, TPSA, and acceptable hERG risk. The solubility is still a concern, but potentially addressable through formulation strategies. The negative values for Caco-2 and half-life are concerning, but the other properties of Ligand B are superior to Ligand A.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.401 and 0.14).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Comparison:**
Ligand B is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk. While both have similar affinity, the ADME properties of Ligand B are far more favorable. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the metabolic stability and DILI risk are more critical for kinase inhibitors.

**DILI:** Ligand A (72.858) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (18.728). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (82.047) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (61.923), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, higher P-gp efflux, and poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2) are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite slightly weaker binding, presents a much more favorable ADMET profile. The difference in binding affinity (1.6 kcal/mol) is substantial, but the ADMET liabilities of Ligand A are too concerning for a viable drug candidate. The improved metabolic stability and reduced toxicity risks of Ligand B outweigh the binding affinity difference.

**DILI:** Ligand A (16.092) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (35.479), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (77.123) is slightly better than Ligand A (68.205). This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again unusual and suggesting poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.212) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.552), a critical advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.681) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.397), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-15.57) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (17.461), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.008) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.105), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B. However, the difference is not *massive* (only 2.4 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior ADME profile: lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. Its QED is also higher. However, Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. The substantial differences in these parameters, coupled with the longer half-life and lower efflux for Ligand A, make it the more promising candidate despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. The 2.4 kcal/mol difference in binding can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A. The poor solubility and permeability for both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed, but are more readily optimized than fundamental safety issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.318 and 357.527 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (86.03) is better than Ligand B (45.15). Both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.238) is within the optimal 1-3 range, while Ligand B (3.639) is approaching the upper limit.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 0 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (8) is slightly higher than Ligand B (6), but both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.522 and 0.754, respectively), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (98.255) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (58.434). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (73.517 and 78.364), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.486) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.932).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.354) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.467).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.346) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.833), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (60.463) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (114.374), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.377) has a negative half-life, indicating very poor stability, while Ligand B (36.984) is positive, indicating better stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.045) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.566), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small (0.3 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and QED score, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher P-gp efflux, and significantly higher microsomal clearance (lower in vitro half-life). Ligand A has a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and a slightly better hERG profile. The poor solubility and permeability are a concern for both. However, the significantly higher DILI risk and poor metabolic stability of Ligand B are major drawbacks.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and DILI risk are crucial. Ligand A's lower Cl_mic and DILI risk outweigh the slightly better affinity of Ligand B.

4. **HBD:** A (2) is good, B (0) is also acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (4) is good, B (3) is also acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both are reasonably good (A: 0.625, B: 0.596), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (10.702) is significantly better than B (34.161). Lower DILI risk is crucial.
8. **BBB:** B (97.014) is much higher than A (65.452). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of reduced off-target effects.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.543) is worse than B (-3.355). Solubility is a concern for both, but B is worse.
11. **hERG:** A (0.218) is much better than B (0.731). Lower hERG risk is vital.
12. **Cl_mic:** B (27.446) is significantly better than A (38.824). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (0.925) is very poor, while B (-10.4) is also poor. Both have very short half-lives.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.02) is much better than B (0.244). Lower Pgp efflux is desirable.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-7.5) is significantly better than B (0). A has a strong binding affinity.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.5 vs 0 kcal/mol), a much lower DILI risk, and a much lower hERG risk. While its solubility and half-life are poor, the strong binding affinity could potentially compensate for these drawbacks, especially in early-stage optimization. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and BBB, but its significantly weaker binding affinity, higher DILI, and higher hERG risk are major concerns. The poor solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed, but starting with the more potent and safer compound (A) is the better strategy.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better safety (lower DILI) and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The lower half-life of Ligand B is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are shared by both, and would require attention during lead optimization. The difference in binding affinity is not substantial enough to outweigh the ADME advantages of Ligand B.

**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.801 and -4.905). These values are unusual and suggest very poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**10. Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.243 and -4.058). These values are also unusual and suggest very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major issue for both compounds.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.925, B: 0.41).
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (40.292) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (48.492), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (65.999) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.811). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity (-9.3 vs -6.8 kcal/mol). However, both compounds suffer from very poor predicted solubility and permeability (negative Caco-2 and solubility values). Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux. Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibitors, the superior binding affinity of Ligand B is a critical factor. While the solubility and permeability issues are concerning, they might be addressable through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is attractive, but the large difference in binding affinity favors Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.535 and 362.543 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (42.01) is significantly better than Ligand B (61.02). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this range, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (3.913 and 4.433) within the optimal 1-3 range, although Ligand B is slightly higher.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 3 HBA) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors, potentially improving permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.75 and 0.73), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (4.343 percentile) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (51.725 percentile). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (93.408 percentile) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (70.958 percentile) is good but lower. While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher BBB is never detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.358) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.079) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.542) is better than Ligand B (-4.183) in terms of aqueous solubility. Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar hERG inhibition liability (0.91 and 0.9), indicating a potential risk for cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.65 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (80.682 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.742 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (69.005 hours). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, suggesting less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.279 and 0.366).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's still a positive for Ligand A.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is superior to Ligand B. It has a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), better solubility, and slightly better binding affinity. While Caco-2 permeability is poor for both, the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh this drawback, especially considering the target is a kinase and not necessarily reliant on high intestinal absorption.

**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.892) has poor predicted Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.216) also has poor predicted Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor predicted aqueous solubility (-2.642 and -2.951 respectively). This is a significant concern.

However, it suffers from a significantly lower QED score, a much shorter in vitro half-life, and a higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A, while having a slightly lower logP and a higher DILI risk, boasts a much better QED, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a very low hERG risk. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the metabolic stability and safety profile (hERG) of Ligand A are more crucial than the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B.

**Reasoning:**
We are evaluating two ligands (A and B) for their potential as kinase inhibitors (targeting SRC, an enzyme). Our priorities are potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
1. **Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.403 and 358.467 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range. No significant difference here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (133.74) is better than Ligand B (68.09) as it is closer to the threshold for good oral absorption (<=140).
3. **logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.88 and 2.022), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
4. **H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is slightly higher than Ligand B (0), but both are acceptable (<=5).

6. **QED:** Ligand B (0.818) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.526), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand B (55.758) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (60.915), which is favorable. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
8. **BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (64.87 and 63.358), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
9. **Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.168 and -5.307). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
10. **Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.782 and -1.982). This is also concerning, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better than Ligand A.
11. **hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.291 and 0.256), which is excellent.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better DILI score and TPSA, Ligand B is superior overall due to its better logP, Caco-2 permeability, aqueous solubility, and significantly improved in vitro half-life. The binding affinity is the same for both, so the ADME properties become the deciding factors. The improved solubility and half-life of Ligand B are particularly important for an enzyme inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (339.483 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (362.407 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (37.39) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (87.49) is higher, but still acceptable, though it *may* have slightly reduced absorption compared to A.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.816) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.852) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is good. Ligand B (0 HBD, 7 HBA) is also reasonable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.819) has a very good drug-likeness score. Ligand B (0.443) is lower, suggesting a less ideal overall drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.293) has a low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (87.902) has a high DILI risk, a major concern.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and should be interpreted cautiously.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk, which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (110.476) has higher clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (86.914) has lower clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.889 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-0.752 hours) has a very short half-life, a significant drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (-9.0 and -9.3 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The affinity difference is small enough that it's unlikely to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its lower logP, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and significantly lower DILI risk outweigh the lower QED and very short half-life. The short half-life of B is a concern, but could potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The high DILI risk of A is a more serious issue that is harder to mitigate.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (101.74 and 96.88) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is good.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.138) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.696) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both acceptable, being less than 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (8) are within the acceptable range of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.776) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.567), suggesting a more drug-like profile overall.
**DILI:** Ligand A (43.234) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (66.421). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (40.558) is slightly higher than Ligand A (27.026).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.009 and -4.892), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.968 and -3.975), indicating very poor solubility. This is a major concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.071) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.606) has a moderate risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-25.31) has a negative clearance, which is not possible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (75.726) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.306) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (15.087) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.007) has very low P-gp efflux, a positive attribute. Ligand B (0.052) also has low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and lower hERG risk. However, its solubility and permeability appear very poor (negative values), and the negative clearance and half-life are data errors. Ligand B has better logP and a reasonable half-life, but suffers from higher DILI risk, moderate hERG risk, and a very poor metabolic stability (high clearance) and very weak binding affinity.
Despite the questionable data for Ligand A, the significantly superior binding affinity (-8.7 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. A 1.5 kcal/mol advantage is considered significant, and here the difference is over 8 kcal/mol. The solubility and permeability issues, while serious, might be addressable through formulation or further chemical modifications. The negative values for clearance and half-life are likely errors and would need to be re-evaluated.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.391 and 350.394 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (113.14) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, while Ligand B (84.42) is well within the range.

**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.735 and 0.774), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (48.43 and 52.152), below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (82.513) shows better potential penetration than Ligand A (53.819).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.174 and -4.937). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and a negative value doesn't necessarily mean zero permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.943 and -0.895). Again, these are likely on a log scale and suggest poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.025) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.121) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-17.933) shows significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-4.363), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.152) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-6.083), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux liability (0.016 and 0.013).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.4 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower hERG risk, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.4 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) outweighs its slightly less favorable ADME properties. The difference in affinity is substantial enough to potentially overcome the lower solubility and permeability. The logP value for Ligand B is also more favorable. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency is paramount.

**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (53.858) and Ligand B (79.062) are both moderate.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.928 and -4.905). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and close to zero, so the actual permeability might not be terrible, but it's a concern.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.361 and -2.486). Again, these are on a log scale and indicate poor solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.241 and 0.316).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.371) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.819), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.906 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-12.726 hours). The negative value for B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.026 and 0.103).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability indicated by the negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand B is significantly more promising due to its much stronger binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol). The longer half-life of Ligand A is attractive, but the lack of binding affinity is a critical flaw. The lower clearance of Ligand A is also a positive, but not enough to overcome the binding issue. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, potency is paramount. While solubility/permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, the strong binding of Ligand B provides a solid starting point.

**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (78.054 and 76.192), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.59 and -4.696), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.878 and -2.917), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.149) shows a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.643). This is a critical advantage, minimizing cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.874) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (66.076), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.279) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. Ligand B (16.347) has a reasonable half-life. This is a critical disadvantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.029) has very low P-gp efflux liability, while Ligand B (0.473) has a moderate level.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, lower P-gp efflux, and better metabolic stability. However, it has a nonsensical negative in vitro half-life and poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has a reasonable half-life, but suffers from higher DILI and hERG risk, and lower binding affinity.
Despite the solubility/permeability issues for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity and improved safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) of Ligand A, coupled with better metabolic stability, make it the more promising candidate *assuming the negative half-life is a data error*. The 1.1 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and can outweigh the ADME concerns, *if* those can be addressed through formulation or structural modification.

**logP:** Ligand A (3.803) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (2.801) is well within it. Ligand A's higher logP *could* lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but it's not drastically high.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.841) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.751), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (9.771) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (56.921). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (85.459) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (70.027), but since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.797 and -4.697), which is unusual and problematic. This suggests poor intestinal absorption for both, but the values are very similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand B (-2.51) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand A (-4.59), which is a significant advantage for *in vivo* performance.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.883) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.512), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (45.531) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (61.108), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.025) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-0.846). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.279) shows lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.176), which is slightly favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns. A difference of 3 kcal/mol is considerable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A boasts a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme target like SRC. However, it has concerningly higher DILI risk and lower solubility. Ligand B has a significantly better safety profile (lower DILI) and improved solubility and metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, and the fact that SRC is not a CNS target, I believe the stronger potency of Ligand A is likely to be more important than its slightly worse ADME properties. Optimization efforts could then focus on improving the ADME profile of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (334.5) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (24.06) is significantly better than Ligand B (43.86). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.437) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (2.606) is within the optimal range (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 2 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (0 HBD, 3 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but a balance is generally preferred.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.845) has a much better QED score than Ligand B (0.608), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (10.779) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (5.196), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (Ligand A: 87.631, Ligand B: 83.288). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it doesn't hurt.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.198) and Ligand B (-4.689) both have negative values, which is unusual. It's difficult to interpret without knowing the scale, but lower values generally indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.15) and Ligand B (-0.858) both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.935) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.669), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.301) has a *much* better microsomal clearance (lower is better) than Ligand B (31.157), indicating significantly better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.758) has a poor in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (-13.073) is extremely poor. Both are concerning, but Ligand B is significantly worse.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.238) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.069), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a critical advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, very poor t1/2), poor solubility, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (DILI, metabolic stability, solubility, QED, TPSA, P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is very weak.
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the extremely poor metabolic stability and solubility are major red flags. It's unlikely to achieve sufficient *in vivo* exposure to be effective, even with strong binding. Ligand A, while weaker in binding, presents a more optimizable starting point due to its better ADME profile. It would be easier to improve the affinity of Ligand A through medicinal chemistry than to fix the severe metabolic and solubility issues of Ligand B.

Given the priority for metabolic stability and safety (hERG) for enzyme inhibitors, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, **Ligand A is the more promising candidate**, despite its permeability concerns. Formulation strategies could potentially mitigate the solubility and permeability issues. The improved metabolic stability and safety profile are more critical for long-term drug development.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (65.996) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (6.336), which is a positive attribute. However, this is somewhat offset by the higher clearance.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.058) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.069), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0), a difference of 0.6 kcal/mol. This is a meaningful difference, but must be weighed against the ADME properties.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and longer half-life, Ligand B demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and solubility. The lower clearance of Ligand B is crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, as it suggests a longer duration of action and potentially lower dosing requirements. The slightly better Caco-2 permeability and lower hERG risk of Ligand B also contribute to its overall better profile. The difference in binding affinity (0.6 kcal/mol) is unlikely to outweigh the significant ADME advantages of Ligand B.

**logP:** Ligand A (-0.085) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.821) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 7 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both have acceptable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.677 and 0.683, respectively).
**DILI:** Ligand A (79.682) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (14.541). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is not a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (66.615) than Ligand A (38.038), but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.354 and -5.023), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading without context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.785 and -2.035), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.092) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.705), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-27.756) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (9.883), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.935) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (1.297), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.028) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.197), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and a slightly lower hERG risk. However, its DILI risk is significantly higher, and its logP is suboptimal. Ligand B has a better logP and slightly better binding affinity, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life, and higher P-gp efflux.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While Ligand B has a slightly better affinity, the significantly higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic profile of Ligand B make it less attractive. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A, despite its other drawbacks, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.136, B: 0.096), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.259) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (57.138), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.7) has a negative half-life, which is nonsensical. Ligand B (10.626) has a reasonable half-life. This is a critical flaw for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.004, B: 0.064).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0). This is a major advantage for Ligand A and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk. However, it has a very concerning negative in vitro half-life and a poor logP. Ligand B has a better logP and a reasonable half-life, but its binding affinity is very weak, and it has a significantly higher DILI risk and worse metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. While Ligand A's negative half-life is a major red flag, the substantial binding affinity advantage (-8.0 vs 0.0) is compelling.

**logP:** Ligand A (3.808) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (1.672) is closer to the lower end. A higher logP can sometimes lead to off-target effects, but isn't a major concern here.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (5/4) counts, balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.855 and 0.762), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (79.798%) compared to Ligand B (42.846%). This is a major red flag for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand B (76.309%) shows better penetration than Ligand A (61.846%).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.359 and 0.279).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (107.395) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.182), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.663) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major issue with Ligand B. Ligand A (7.516) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.111 and 0.075).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its other weaknesses.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, the most critical factors for an enzyme inhibitor are potency, metabolic stability, and safety. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk. Although the half-life of Ligand B is nonsensical, the other factors strongly favor it. Ligand A's high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability are major concerns.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.403 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (385.511 Da) is also well within range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential. Ligand B (90.71) is better than Ligand A (101.16), getting closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration, though that's not a primary concern here.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.154) has a very low logP, which is a significant concern for membrane permeability and bioavailability. Ligand B (1.017) is much better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.729) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.559), indicating better overall drug-likeness. However, this is somewhat offset by its poor logP.
**DILI:** Ligand B (53.819) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (43.66), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.697) has very poor Caco-2 permeability, consistent with its low logP. Ligand B (-4.684) is better, but still low.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-1.579) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.992).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.145 and 0.395, respectively). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-25.255) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (73.814), suggesting much greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.14) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-32.614).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux (0.006 and 0.1, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol), which is excellent and a primary driver of activity.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better QED and lower DILI, its extremely low logP and resulting poor Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. The significantly better logP and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and better half-life) of Ligand B outweigh its slightly lower QED and higher DILI. The equal binding affinity makes the ADME properties the deciding factor. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (28.732) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.247), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.415) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (50.95), although this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.892) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.554) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.178) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-2.144) is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.964) has a moderate hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.043) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.681 and 0.037).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a very low hERG risk. However, it suffers from poor logP and Caco-2 permeability, and a very short in vitro half-life. Ligand A has better solubility, BBB penetration, and a lower DILI risk, but its binding affinity is very weak, and its Caco-2 permeability is poor.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand B is the most critical factor. While its ADME properties are suboptimal, these can potentially be improved through further optimization. The weak binding affinity of Ligand A makes it a less promising starting point, even with its better ADME profile.

8. **BBB:** Ligand A (22.412) has poor BBB penetration, while Ligand B (64.715) is better, but still not ideal. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.118 and -5.23), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.707) and B (-3.36) both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.278) and B (0.357) both have low hERG inhibition liability, which is good.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (-12.906) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible. This suggests an error in the data or a very unusual metabolic profile. Ligand B (32.786) has a higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism. This is a significant advantage for A (assuming the negative value is an error).
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (10.664) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (1.842). This is a positive for A.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.055) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.17), which is favorable.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for A, potentially outweighing some of its other weaknesses.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzyme targets like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-9.6 vs -8.0 kcal/mol) and a longer half-life (10.664 vs 1.842). However, the negative Cl_mic value is a red flag and needs investigation. If this is an error, then A is the clear winner. Ligand B has better logP and slightly better QED, but its weaker binding affinity and faster metabolism are concerning. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are problematic, but could potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
Given the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A, and *assuming the negative Cl_mic is an error*, I would select Ligand A as the more promising candidate.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (34.946) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-0.594). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.168) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.203), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and significantly stronger binding affinity. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is concerning. The improved potency of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful for an enzyme inhibitor, and the lower DILI risk makes it a more promising candidate. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are a concern for both, but the potency advantage of B is significant.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.83 & 0.72), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.21) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (62.47). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** BBB is less important for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (71.85) is better than Ligand B (61.92).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better logP and lower hERG risk, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs -6.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer in vitro half-life, which are critical for *in vivo* efficacy. While both have poor predicted solubility and permeability, the potency and stability benefits of Ligand B are more likely to be addressable through formulation or further chemical modifications. The lower DILI risk for Ligand B is also a significant benefit.

15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important. Ligand A has a much better affinity, but Ligand B has better metabolic stability, solubility, and a slightly better Pgp profile. The DILI risk is similar for both.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A's significantly stronger binding affinity is very attractive, the combination of better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), better solubility, and acceptable Pgp efflux of Ligand B make it the more promising drug candidate. The 1.3 kcal/mol difference in affinity, while substantial, can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B. The higher logP of Ligand A is a concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (409.324 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (386.539 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (59.59) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (89.87) is also below, but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.89) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.321) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=3) is good. Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=6) is also acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED values (A: 0.658, B: 0.71), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (A: 56.844, B: 55.642), and are within an acceptable range (<60).
**BBB:** Ligand A has a higher BBB percentile (83.637) than Ligand B (25.591). However, BBB penetration isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.568) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.307) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.111) has very poor aqueous solubility, a significant drawback. Ligand B (-3.239) is also poor, but better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.749) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.271), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (104.787) has higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (40.016) has much lower clearance, a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.03) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (13.023) has a shorter half-life, which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.544, B: 0.1).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better BBB penetration, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.4 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly less favorable solubility and permeability. The lower microsomal clearance of Ligand B also indicates better metabolic stability, a critical factor for kinase inhibitors. The solubility of Ligand B, while not ideal, is better than that of Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.084) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.027), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4), but the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior in almost all ADME-Tox properties (TPSA, logP, DILI, hERG, solubility, Caco-2, P-gp efflux, and half-life). While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity and metabolic stability, the substantial advantages of Ligand A in safety (DILI, hERG) and absorption/permeability outweigh this minor difference in potency. The poor logP and solubility of Ligand B are significant concerns.

**DILI:** Ligand A (56.689) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (73.517) has a higher risk. This favors Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating very poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.504) has a negative clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (9.327) has a moderate clearance. This strongly favors Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.554) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. Ligand B (18.537) has a reasonable half-life. This strongly favors Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both, Ligand A's significantly superior binding affinity (-8.7 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) and very low hERG risk are compelling advantages. However, the negative values for clearance and half-life are concerning and suggest data errors. Ligand B has better TPSA, logP, and more reasonable ADME properties (clearance and half-life), but its binding affinity is extremely weak.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency is paramount. Assuming the negative values for Ligand A are data errors, its much stronger binding affinity outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and lower logP. If the negative values are accurate, then Ligand B is the better choice despite its weak binding.

10. **Solubility:** A (-3.828) is worse than B (-2.719), but both are poor. Solubility is a concern for both, but B is slightly better.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (60.539) is higher than B (-4.836), meaning B has better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (374.5 and 352.4 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) is significantly better than Ligand B (78.35). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.965 and 1.663), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand A is slightly higher, potentially aiding membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBAs, while Ligand B has 5. Lower HBA counts are generally preferred for better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.752 and 0.843), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.03) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.17), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (85.033 and 80.69), but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.322) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.907), but both are negative values which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with this metric.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.575) has slightly worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.963), but both are negative values which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with this metric.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.51 and 0.385), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.016) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (0.512). This means Ligand B is likely more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (18.747) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (15.433), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (0.15 and 0.036), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0). While both are excellent, the 0.6 kcal/mol difference is noteworthy.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better logP and BBB, Ligand B excels in the most critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and slightly better binding affinity. The TPSA of Ligand A is better, but the difference isn't large enough to outweigh the metabolic advantages of Ligand B. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility for both ligands are concerning and would require further investigation, but do not change the overall ranking.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both compounds have solubility issues, B has a much better binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are crucial for an enzyme target. The higher metabolic clearance of B is a concern, but the significantly improved potency could compensate for this.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the higher logP and metabolic clearance, **Ligand B** is the more promising candidate due to its substantially superior binding affinity (-9 kcal/mol vs -7.1 kcal/mol). The potency advantage is likely to be more impactful for an enzyme target like SRC kinase than the slightly better ADME properties of Ligand A.

**logP:** Ligand A (0.656) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.379) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is acceptable. Ligand B (6) is also good.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.701 and 0.566), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, acceptable DILI risk (42.264 and 42.187).
**BBB:** Ligand A (40.132) has poor BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (78.558) has better BBB penetration, but again, this isn't critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.021) shows poor permeability. Ligand B (-4.504) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.938) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-3.614) has even poorer solubility.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
The most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor is binding affinity. Ligand A's affinity is 1.7 kcal/mol better than Ligand B. While Ligand A has some drawbacks (low logP, poor solubility, and permeability), the significantly stronger binding affinity likely outweighs these concerns, especially considering the acceptable DILI and very low hERG risk. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (longer half-life, lower clearance) but the weaker binding makes it less promising.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.446 and 363.531 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) is well below the 140 threshold, and even preferable for oral absorption. Ligand B (72.7) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values around 4 (4.208 and 4.074), which is slightly high. This could potentially lead to solubility issues or off-target effects, but is not a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 2 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA). Lower HBA counts are generally preferred for better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.4 and 0.718), with Ligand B being significantly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.752) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.917), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (76.076) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (55.68).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.717) has a much better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.091).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-4.413 and -4.285). This is a concern, but can sometimes be mitigated through formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.79) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.308), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (71.419) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (74.233), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (30.849 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (11.806 hours), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.542 and 0.299).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol), although both are good. The 0.7 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. It exhibits a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better permeability (Caco-2), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. While both have somewhat high logP and poor solubility, the advantages of Ligand A outweigh these drawbacks. The improved ADME properties and potency make it a more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 370.837 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (104.46) is better than Ligand B (113.44), being closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (1.646 and 0.46), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand A is slightly better.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 3 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 6. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.694 and 0.642), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.479) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (50.136). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unspecified.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.166 and 0.066).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.583) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is not physically possible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand B (7.247) has a higher clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (23.11 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (25.959 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.092 and 0.046).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a 0.6 kcal/mol difference, which is significant, but not overwhelming.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk is a major advantage. The negative microsomal clearance for Ligand A is a data error and should be investigated, but assuming it's a reasonable value, the longer half-life is also favorable. The slightly better TPSA and logP of Ligand A also contribute to its overall better profile. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the DILI risk is the most critical factor in this comparison.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.515 and 343.519 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) and Ligand B (55.63) are both below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is good.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have logP values (3.572 and 3.469) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (1) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (5) are both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.66 and 0.859), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** This is a critical factor. Ligand A has a DILI risk of 9.771%, which is excellent (low risk). Ligand B has a significantly higher DILI risk of 30.593%, which is a moderate concern.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (71.035% and 77.2%), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands show poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.676 and -5.073). This suggests potential absorption issues, but can be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-4.094 and -4.399). This is a concern and may require formulation work.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.317 and 0.37).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a higher microsomal clearance (80.792) than Ligand B (43.435). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is a key priority for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a significantly longer in vitro half-life (-7.319 hours) than Ligand B (-2.295 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.094 and 0.225).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.1 and -7.3 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 0.8 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial, but not overwhelmingly so.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While both have similar binding affinities and permeability issues, Ligand A's significantly lower DILI risk and longer half-life outweigh the slightly higher clearance. The DILI risk for Ligand B is a significant concern, and the shorter half-life means more frequent dosing would likely be required. The affinity difference, while present, isn't large enough to overcome the ADME liabilities of Ligand B.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (370.49 and 383.857 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.43) is significantly better than Ligand B (92.51). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this limit, but A is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.649) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.995) is at the lower end of the optimal range. While still acceptable, A's logP is more favorable for membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.769 and 0.852), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (84.335) has a considerably higher DILI risk than Ligand A (44.242). This is a significant negative for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration (57.115 and 53.625). This isn't a major concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.758) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.069).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor solubility. Ligand A (-4.321) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.098).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.565) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.331), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (69.124) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (85.267), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.984) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-20.129). A negative half-life is not possible, so this value is suspect, and indicates very rapid degradation of Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.086) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.245), which is favorable for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant, and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability, but suffers from a significantly higher DILI risk, a very short half-life, and poor solubility. Ligand A, while having slightly weaker binding, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, better hERG), better P-gp efflux, and a reasonable half-life. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and potency are key. However, the extremely short half-life and high DILI risk of Ligand B are major concerns. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to overcome these significant liabilities.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is well below the 140 threshold, indicating good absorption potential. Ligand B (98.4) is still within acceptable range, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.957) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.45) is below 1, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1 & 2) and HBA (4 & 4) counts, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.773 and 0.808), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.15) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.642), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (66.886) has a higher BBB score than Ligand B (54.207).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it is difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.342) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.196), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.502) has a better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-3.014), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.064) has a better (longer) half-life than Ligand B (-36.169), further supporting its metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.373) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.014), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates superior ADMET properties. Specifically, its significantly lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux are crucial advantages for a kinase inhibitor. The slightly lower affinity of Ligand A can potentially be optimized through further medicinal chemistry efforts, while mitigating the poor ADMET properties of Ligand B would be more challenging. The solubility and permeability issues are shared, but the other advantages of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 39.667, which is good (low risk). Ligand B has a DILI risk of 22.683, even better.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (91.276) is significantly higher than Ligand A (75.572). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but could be beneficial if off-target CNS effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.311 and -4.451). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading. We'll need to consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.694 and -3.367). This is also concerning, and suggests poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.894 and 0.56).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 69.372, while Ligand B has 31.777. Ligand B shows better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 31.867 hours, while Ligand B has -7.547 hours. This is a *major* difference. A negative half-life is highly unusual and indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.38 and 0.394).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**

The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 vs -7.7 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. Furthermore, Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and higher BBB penetration. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a critical flaw, but the superior binding affinity and other favorable properties make it worth further investigation to determine the cause of the rapid degradation. Ligand A's half-life is reasonable, but its weaker binding affinity is a significant drawback.

**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD, also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.828) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.598), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.76) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (8.414), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (88.174) is higher than Ligand A (68.166), but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is undefined.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.673) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.355), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (24.163 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (44.852 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.447 hours) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (5.162 hours) is reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.033 and 0.069), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol), but the difference is small (0.3 kcal/mol) and may not be decisive.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has a much better QED score, significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a lower DILI risk. However, the negative in vitro half-life for Ligand B is a critical issue. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but the other factors favor Ligand B *if* the half-life issue can be resolved (e.g., data error). Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and lower toxicity are crucial.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (339.395 and 351.491 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (93.45) is slightly higher than Ligand B (78.51), but both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.985 and 1.55), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which could potentially improve solubility.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have reasonable HBD (3 and 2 respectively) and HBA (3 for both) counts, within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.802 and 0.651), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (69.135 percentile) compared to Ligand B (13.067 percentile). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (77.705 and 70.803 percentile), which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.955 and -5.105), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are difficult to interpret without knowing the specific assay details.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand B (-1.761) has better (less negative) solubility than Ligand A (-4.176), which is beneficial.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.536) shows slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.322), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (36.54 and 37.168 mL/min/kg), suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a significantly longer in vitro half-life (-13.19 hours) compared to Ligand A (-0.123 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.095 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7 kcal/mol). This 2 kcal/mol difference is significant and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both ligands have acceptable MW, TPSA, logP, and QED values, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better safety (lower DILI), metabolic stability (longer half-life), solubility, and, crucially, a much stronger binding affinity. The negative Caco-2 values are a concern for both, but the superior overall profile of Ligand B makes it the preferred choice.

The improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is attractive, but the weaker binding and higher hERG risk are more concerning.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.447 and 346.475 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (90.98) is slightly higher than Ligand B (76.02). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable here.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.834 and 2.277), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 4 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.555 and 0.709), indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.758) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (23.071), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60. Ligand B is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (70.609 and 70.027). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.079) has significantly *worse* Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.751). This suggests lower intestinal absorption for Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.774) has slightly worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.163). While both are negative, indicating low solubility, Ligand B is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.218) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.077). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.051) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.988), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.082) has a substantially *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand B (2.595). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.211) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.011), indicating better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1). While the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold to override other issues, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has significant advantages in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and P-gp efflux. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, DILI, solubility and hERG. However, the poor Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A is a major concern, potentially limiting its oral bioavailability. The longer half-life and better metabolic stability of Ligand A are valuable, but may not fully compensate for the absorption issues.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), and the significant absorption concern with Ligand A, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, the negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. This suggests rapid metabolism and a very short duration of action, making it a poor candidate. Ligand A, while having a slightly weaker binding affinity, exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive t1/2) and acceptable values for other ADME properties. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning and would need to be addressed during optimization, but the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A is more immediately important for an enzyme target.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability, the significantly higher DILI risk and very poor aqueous solubility are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite a slightly lower affinity and potentially faster metabolism, presents a much more favorable safety profile (DILI) and better solubility. The difference in binding affinity (0.8 kcal/mol) can potentially be overcome with further optimization, while mitigating the high DILI risk of Ligand A would be far more challenging. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (39.12) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-0.015), but the negative value for Ligand B is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.059 and 0.016).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.1 and -8.0 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not decisive.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and half-life, Ligand B is superior overall. Its significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and acceptable solubility outweigh the minor advantage in binding affinity of Ligand A. The low logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the excellent metabolic stability and low toxicity profile make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.455 and 343.347 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (42.01) is significantly better than Ligand B (115.96). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B's value is quite high, potentially hindering absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.796) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.773) is slightly low, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 8 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.786 and 0.661), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (25.94) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (94.184), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (83.831) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (63.086), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.515) is better than Ligand B (-5.221), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.545) is better than Ligand B (-2.7), indicating better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.829) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.276), which is a critical safety consideration.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.678) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.571), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.486) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (59.986).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.403) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.056), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is significantly superior to Ligand B based on a comprehensive assessment of ADME-Tox properties. While both have excellent binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates substantially lower DILI risk, better solubility, permeability, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. Ligand B's high TPSA and DILI risk are major drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.403 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (371.453 Da) is still well within the acceptable range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (92.77) is slightly above the preferred <140, but still reasonable. Ligand B (62.3) is excellent, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.721) is a bit low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. Ligand B (2.998) is near optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.751, B: 0.888), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (25.165) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (46.142) is still relatively low, but higher than A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (90.074) has a higher BBB percentile than A (35.595), but this is less critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and indicates poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.36) has a very low hERG risk, which is highly desirable. Ligand B (0.533) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.023) has a negative clearance, which is impossible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand B (4.654) has a moderate clearance, which is less ideal but not a major red flag.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.602) has a very short half-life, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-1.641) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely an error.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.008, B: 0.193), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the primary driver here is binding affinity. Ligand B has a much stronger affinity for SRC. While Ligand A has a better DILI profile and hERG risk, the negative clearance and half-life values are concerning. Ligand B's affinity advantage is substantial and, assuming the negative values are data errors, makes it the more promising candidate.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (364.389) is slightly higher than B (355.494), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (104.73) is higher than B (46.61). While A is still within a reasonable range for oral absorption (<=140), B's lower TPSA is preferable.
3. **logP:** A (0.457) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. B (3.835) is excellent, falling within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for B.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable, B (0) is even better, minimizing potential for off-target interactions and improving permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both A (5) and B (3) are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.569) and B (0.56) are good, indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (36.448) is better than B (15.665), indicating lower liver injury risk.
8. **BBB:** A (67.197) is lower than B (95.308). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher BBB is generally favorable.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.938) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. B (-3.973) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.17) is poor, while B (-4.798) is even worse. Both are problematic, but B is worse.
11. **hERG:** A (0.279) is very low risk, while B (0.849) is slightly higher. A is preferable here.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (44.89) is better than B (123.486), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** A (-53.462) is very poor, suggesting rapid clearance. B (-6.738) is better, but still not ideal.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.025) is very low efflux, while B (0.348) is slightly higher. A is preferable.
15. **Affinity:** A (-8.4) is significantly better than B (-7.3), a difference of 1.1 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage for A.
**Prioritization for Kinase Inhibitors:**
For enzyme targets like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.4 kcal/mol vs -7.3 kcal/mol), its poor Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and in vitro half-life are major drawbacks. Ligand B has better logP, TPSA, and lower DILI risk, but its affinity is weaker. The difference in affinity is substantial (1.1 kcal/mol), and for a kinase inhibitor, potency is paramount. However, the poor ADME properties of A are likely to severely limit its *in vivo* efficacy. The metabolic stability of A is also better than B.
Considering the balance, the superior binding affinity of A, coupled with its better metabolic stability and lower hERG risk, outweighs its ADME deficiencies *if* formulation strategies can be employed to address the solubility and permeability issues.

**logP:** Ligand A (0.637) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (0.901) is also on the lower side but better than A. Both are below the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 7 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable and potentially better for permeability due to fewer hydrogen bonds.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.605 and 0.588), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 64.831, which is concerning (high risk). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 14.541, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (64.637 and 64.715), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests poor solubility, a potential issue for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.301) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.289), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 13.081 mL/min/kg, while Ligand B has a much higher Cl_mic of 94.213 mL/min/kg. Lower is better for metabolic stability, so Ligand A is favored here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-11.135 hours), which is impossible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B has a half-life of -36.403 hours, also impossible. This suggests issues with the experimental setup or data reporting.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has a Pgp efflux liability of 0.072, while Ligand B has 0.07. Both are very low, indicating minimal P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a binding affinity of 0 kcal/mol, while Ligand B has a binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol. This is a *huge* difference. A binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol is excellent and significantly outweighs many of the other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite some concerning solubility and permeability values (likely data errors), Ligand B is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, it has a much lower DILI risk, which is crucial for drug development. The higher metabolic clearance of Ligand B is a concern, but the potency advantage is likely to outweigh this. The negative half-life values for both compounds are suspect and require further investigation, but the affinity difference is decisive.

While both have issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility, Ligand B excels in key areas for an enzyme target: significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, though shorter half-life), lower hERG risk, and a slightly stronger binding affinity. Ligand A's high DILI risk and poor permeability are major concerns. The slightly shorter half-life of Ligand B can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Ligand A (453.2 Da) is within the ideal range, while Ligand B (348.491 Da) is towards the lower end but still acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (127.68) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but not drastically. Ligand B (74.33) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Both ligands (A: 1.419, B: 2.053) have optimal logP values.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 8 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.716) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.442), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (98.953) has a very high DILI risk, which is a major concern. Ligand B (21.908) has a low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with permeability prediction. However, this is less critical than other factors.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual.
**hERG:** Both ligands have similar hERG values (A: 0.3, B: 0.47), indicating a low risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.383) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.449), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (59.219) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (21.234), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.171, B: 0.017).

While Ligand A has better QED, half-life, and lower DILI, the substantial affinity difference of Ligand B is more important. The lower DILI of Ligand B is also a positive. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor for both, but the affinity advantage of B is likely to be more impactful in initial optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (362.5 and 372.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (56.75) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (84.5) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.07 and 1.88) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is excellent, minimizing potential issues with permeability. Ligand B (2) is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) and Ligand B (4) are both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands (0.83 and 0.77) have good drug-likeness scores, exceeding the 0.5 threshold.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.3) and Ligand B (60.2) are both acceptable, below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.7) is higher than Ligand B (62.5).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it is hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.57) is better than Ligand B (0.38), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (52.7) has a lower Cl_mic than Ligand A (59.5), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-5.79) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-0.72), which is a substantial benefit.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.25) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.16), which is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme target. The >1.5 kcal/mol advantage of B over A outweighs any ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite some unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand B, coupled with its better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer half-life, make it the more promising drug candidate. The slightly higher hERG risk is a minor concern compared to the substantial potency advantage.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a 0.7 kcal/mol difference, which is a reasonable advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and TPSA, but Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic), DILI risk, and hERG inhibition. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both. However, the significantly improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is crucial for an enzyme target like SRC. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is not enough to overcome the metabolic liability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (329.363 and 345.443 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (83.6 and 82.53) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (2.469 and 1.306) within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which could potentially affect permeability, but it's not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.729 and 0.626) above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 87.01, which is high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 20.589, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (51.803) is higher than Ligand A (40.093), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.275 and -4.882). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, Caco-2 values can be unreliable and are less important than other factors for kinase inhibitors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-3.775 and -1.031). Again, this is unusual and suggests poor solubility. Solubility is important for kinase inhibitors, so this is a concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.509) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.153), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.918 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (10.41 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. Lower clearance is preferred for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-3.146 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (0.957 hours) is very short, but still a valid value.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.207 and 0.055).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.5 kcal/mol and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk (20.589 vs 87.01) and lower microsomal clearance (10.41 vs 41.918) are major advantages. While both have concerning solubility and permeability values, the metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand B are superior. The invalid half-life value for Ligand A further diminishes its viability.

Ligand A has advantages in QED, DILI, solubility, Caco-2 permeability, and slightly better binding affinity. Ligand B shines in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability is important. However, the substantial advantages of Ligand A in drug-likeness (QED), safety (DILI), and absorption (Solubility, Caco-2) outweigh the slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand B. The binding affinity difference is not large enough to shift the balance.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.717 and 0.779), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.339) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.929). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (82.164) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (50.679), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the prediction method or potential problems with permeability. However, given the other factors, we'll proceed with caution.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.544) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.128). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.443 and 346.406 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (90.27) is slightly higher than Ligand B (78.09). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.649 and 1.984), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.842) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.718), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (31.989) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (55.874). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (72.082) is slightly better than Ligand B (67.352). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.749) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.144).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-2.605) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.651).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.229) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.478). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A, reducing the risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.874) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.657), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (58.409) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-12.081). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.063) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.083).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and a longer half-life. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior safety profiles with lower DILI and hERG risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The solubility and permeability are poor for both. The affinity difference is substantial, and for an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While the ADME profile of Ligand A is better, the increased potency of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful, and the ADME issues can be addressed through further optimization.

**DILI:** Both have relatively high DILI risk (A: 21.6, B: 51.3), but are still below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (51.5) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (87.9). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but still favors B.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.367) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.119) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.96) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.997) is even worse. This is a concern for both, but more so for B.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.169) shows a very low risk of hERG inhibition, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.628) is higher, indicating a moderate risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.778) has a negative clearance, suggesting very good metabolic stability. Ligand B (92.872) has a high clearance, indicating rapid metabolism. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.829) has a short half-life, while Ligand B (28.644) has a much longer half-life. This favors Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.019) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.714) has moderate P-gp efflux. This favors Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and longer half-life. However, it suffers from poor solubility, high metabolic clearance, and moderate hERG risk. Ligand A has excellent metabolic stability, low hERG risk, and low P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is very weak, and it has poor permeability and solubility.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, *binding affinity is paramount*. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-7.9 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is likely to be the deciding factor. While Ligand B has ADME liabilities, these can potentially be addressed through further optimization. The lack of binding affinity in Ligand A makes it a less promising starting point, even with its better ADME profile.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.651) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.859). Lower is better here, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (63.18) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (75.321), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (19.479) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-2.906). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.174) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.281), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). While A has a slightly better affinity, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and a slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand A has slightly better BBB penetration and P-gp efflux, these are less critical for a non-CNS enzyme target like SRC. The poor solubility and permeability indicated by the negative values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate.

15. **Binding Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinities (A: -9 kcal/mol, B: -8.5 kcal/mol). A is slightly better, but the difference is relatively small.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase inhibitors, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A excels in all these areas. While ligand B has a good affinity, its higher logP, DILI risk, hERG risk, and higher clearance are significant drawbacks. The longer half-life of ligand A is a major advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate due to its superior ADME-Tox profile (lower DILI, hERG, Cl_mic, better solubility, and Pgp efflux) and longer half-life, despite the slightly lower TPSA and Caco-2 values. The small advantage in binding affinity is overshadowed by the substantial improvements in drug-like properties.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-kinase specific priorities, potency and metabolic stability are crucial. The 1.9 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, it may be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed, but these are often more readily optimized than significant potency or metabolic stability issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.4 and 362.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (107.11) is better than Ligand B (112.92). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the ideal for kinases.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.569 and 1.271), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=4, HBA=4) is slightly better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=8). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.639 and 0.576), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.921) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (63.862). This is a crucial advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (53.587) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (38.193), although BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.202 and -5.609), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.855 and -2.726). This is a major drawback and could limit bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.045) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.282). This is a critical advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-29.308) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.053), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.923) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (19.657), which is a disadvantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.02 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1), but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better safety (lower DILI, lower hERG) and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is outweighed by these critical ADME/Tox advantages of Ligand A. The longer half-life of Ligand B is a minor benefit compared to the other advantages of Ligand A.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 9 HBAs, acceptable. Ligand B has 2 HBAs, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.612 and 0.702), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (69.252) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (12.641) has a very low DILI risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A (61.846) and Ligand B (85.459). BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor, but higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.058) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.801) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.054) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-4.471) also has poor aqueous solubility.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.94) is well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption and even below 90, which would be relevant for CNS targets (though SRC is not a CNS target). Ligand B (117.26) is still within acceptable limits for oral absorption, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.884) is slightly below the optimal 1-3 range but still reasonable. Ligand B (0.437) is even lower, potentially indicating permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.543 and 0.605), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (48.662) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (67.235), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Both are around 40-46.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.637) has a better (less negative) Caco-2 value than Ligand B (-5.478), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.021 and -2.061). This is a concern for both, but might be mitigated with formulation strategies.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.1) has a significantly better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-8.705, indicating very rapid clearance). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.608) has a better (less negative) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (18.118), further supporting its superior metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.051 and 0.031).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.3 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. However, it suffers from significantly worse metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, low t1/2) and a higher DILI risk. Ligand A has superior ADME properties across the board (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, better permeability), but a weaker binding affinity.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity (-10.3 vs -7.9 kcal/mol), and the fact that SRC is not a CNS target, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be decisive. While the ADME issues are concerning, they might be addressable through further optimization.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and Pgp efflux. However, it suffers from significantly higher DILI risk, lower solubility, and poorer Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (DILI), better solubility, and Caco-2 permeability, and a good QED score. The slightly lower affinity of B is likely outweighed by its superior ADME properties and safety.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall profile, **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate. The lower DILI risk and improved solubility/permeability are critical advantages that outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better TPSA and a slightly better QED, Ligand B is superior overall. The most critical factors are the significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and the much better metabolic stability (negative clearance and low P-gp efflux) of Ligand B. Although its logP is low and Caco-2 permeability is poor, the strong binding and metabolic stability are more crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The low DILI and hERG risks are also highly favorable.

**DILI:** Ligand A (40.054) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (62.776), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (96.084) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (77.007).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-2.426) is slightly better than Ligand A (-4.354).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.9) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.081), which is a significant advantage for B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (60.497) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (22.669), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a major drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-13.84) has a negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand A (4.108) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.711 and 0.076).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8), a difference of 0.6 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and a better DILI profile, but suffers from higher logP, higher clearance, and a slightly higher hERG risk. Ligand B has better solubility, lower hERG, and lower clearance, but its binding affinity is weaker. The affinity difference is substantial (0.6 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While Ligand A's logP and clearance are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through further optimization. The weaker affinity of Ligand B is harder to overcome.

8. **BBB:** A (74.176) is good. B (45.715) is lower, less favorable. While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.74) is a negative value, which is unusual and could indicate an issue with the measurement or a very poor permeability. B (-5.549) is also negative, but slightly worse.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.703) is poor. B (-3.037) is even worse. This is a significant concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Both A (0.202) and B (0.225) have low hERG risk, which is good.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (40.563) is moderate. B (6.839) is very low, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for B.
13. **t1/2:** A (8.153) is reasonable. B (10.439) is better, suggesting a longer duration of action.
14. **Pgp:** Both A (0.112) and B (0.029) have low P-gp efflux, which is good.
15. **Affinity:** B (-8.3) is significantly better than A (-7.2). A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity (-8.3 vs -7.2 kcal/mol). It also demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower Pgp efflux. However, it has a concerningly higher DILI risk and poor solubility. Ligand A has better TPSA, QED, DILI, and BBB, but its solubility is also poor, and its affinity is significantly weaker.
The affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility and DILI concerns of ligand B, *provided* formulation strategies can address the solubility issue and the DILI risk can be mitigated through further structural modifications. The poor Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but the higher affinity of B is a strong driver.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (367.471 and 350.419 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (93.31) is slightly higher than Ligand B (87.9), but both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.532) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.078) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (1) both meet the HBD <=5 criteria.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (6) meet the HBA <=10 criteria.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.606 and 0.824, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**DILI:** Ligand A (62.35) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (54.323), but both are acceptable (<60 is good).
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (66.382) is slightly higher than Ligand B (42.962).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.548) and Ligand B (-4.918) both have negative values, which is unusual. Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.639) and Ligand B (-0.473) both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.115 and 0.121, respectively), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.142) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.845). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key consideration for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.697) has a negative half-life, which is unusual. Ligand B (21.373) has a much more reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.039 and 0.038, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.6 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.2 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is slightly favored. Its significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) is a major advantage. While its half-life is unusual, the lower clearance is more critical. Ligand B has slightly better solubility and QED, but the difference isn't large enough to overcome the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.499) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.186), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of 8.5 kcal/mol is substantial and likely outweighs the minor ADME drawbacks of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition, Ligand A's dramatically superior binding affinity (-8.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) makes it the far more promising candidate. The better QED, BBB, half-life and P-gp efflux also contribute to its favorability. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 89.259, which is high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 19.232, which is very favorable. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 70.803, which is acceptable but not exceptional. Ligand B has a high BBB penetration of 92.904. While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB penetration generally correlates with better overall permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.855 and -4.286). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and may not be directly comparable without knowing the specific assay details.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.116 and -2.369), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for both compounds and may require formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.61, B: 0.552), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a moderate microsomal clearance (52.818 mL/min/kg). Ligand B has a lower clearance (29.505 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of 10.143 hours. Ligand B has a negative half-life (-12.435 hours), which is not physically possible and suggests an issue with the data or the assay.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.47, B: 0.164). Ligand B has a slightly lower value, suggesting less efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.5 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive advantage, as potency is a primary concern for enzyme inhibitors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is significantly more promising. While both have solubility and permeability concerns, Ligand B excels in key areas: significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a red flag, but the substantial affinity advantage outweighs this concern, assuming the half-life data is an outlier or error. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major drawback.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.45) is acceptable, being under 140, while Ligand B (26.79) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.368 and 2.152) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD, and Ligand B has 0. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=5.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.75 and 0.837), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 80.535, which is considered high risk (>60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 8.53, which is excellent.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (49.205) and Ligand B (95.153) are not particularly relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.697 and -4.742), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading; we'll consider this a potential issue for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.51 and -1.761), also unusual and indicating poor solubility. This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.123) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.942) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.718) and Ligand B (29.902) have moderate microsomal clearance values. Lower is better, but these aren't alarming.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.611) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound. Ligand B (-31.951) also has a negative half-life, indicating a similar issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.309) and Ligand B (0.153) have low P-gp efflux liability, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, but suffers from a high DILI risk and an impossible in vitro half-life. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (low DILI, low hERG), but its binding affinity is extremely weak. The negative half-life values for both are concerning and suggest data quality issues.
Despite the strong affinity of Ligand A, the high DILI risk and the impossible half-life make it a less viable candidate. While Ligand B's affinity is poor, its safety profile is significantly better. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, a starting point with a better safety profile and the possibility of optimization is preferable to a potent but potentially toxic compound.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is good. Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) is also good. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.589) is good, above the 0.5 threshold. Ligand B (0.492) is slightly below, but still reasonable.
**DILI:** Ligand A (59.829) is moderately risky, approaching the higher end of acceptable. Ligand B (17.875) is excellent, indicating low liver injury risk.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (70.609) shows better penetration than Ligand A (58.085).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.538 and -4.653), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.097 and -2.837), which is also concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.121) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.398), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.297) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (83.401), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.965) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand B (-20.593) is even worse. These negative values suggest issues with the assay or compound stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.016) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.153) is slightly higher, but still reasonable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-7 and -8 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the strong binding affinity of both compounds, the negative Caco-2 and solubility values are major red flags. However, considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is crucial. Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has better logP and lower DILI, the extremely high Cl_mic and poor half-life are concerning. The negative solubility and permeability values for both are problematic and would require significant optimization. Given the slightly better metabolic profile of Ligand A, and the fact that solubility/permeability issues can sometimes be addressed with formulation strategies, I would cautiously favor Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and P-gp efflux. However, it has a much higher DILI risk and shorter half-life. Ligand B has better TPSA and lower DILI, but suffers from very high metabolic clearance and a questionable in vitro half-life.
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, metabolic stability is crucial. The significantly lower Cl_mic of Ligand A outweighs its higher DILI risk, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The solubility issues are a concern for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The binding affinity difference, while present, is not large enough to be decisive on its own.

**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (43.234 and 48.042), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (84.374) is significantly higher than Ligand A (71.229). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.796 and -4.209), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.986 and -5.062), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.392) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.932), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (71.535) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.405), meaning it is less metabolically stable. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-15.65) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a problem with the data or the molecule. Ligand A (38.533) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (0.413 and 0.4), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). This 0.7 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having significant solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The substantially stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs -8.3 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has better hERG and a plausible half-life, the difference in binding affinity is more important. The negative half-life value for Ligand B is a red flag, but the overall profile, especially the binding affinity, makes it the better choice *assuming the half-life data is an error*.

**QED:** Ligand B (0.78) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.375), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (27.142) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (39.434), which is a major advantage. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (Ligand A: 58.821, Ligand B: 65.801), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.781 and -4.829), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.022 and -2.29), which is also concerning and suggests poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.329 and 0.211), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (62.31) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-26.687). The negative value for Ligand B is unusual and suggests very high metabolic stability, which is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-8.849) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-2.752), which is a major positive. Again, the negative value for Ligand B is unusual and suggests a very long half-life.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (350.419) and B (345.399) are comparable.
2. **TPSA:** A (87.9) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold. B (95.67) is still acceptable, but slightly higher.
3. **logP:** A (0.025) is very low, potentially causing permeability issues. B (1.786) is much better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
4. **HBD:** A (1) and B (2) are both good, below the 5 threshold.
5. **HBA:** A (6) and B (5) are both good, below the 10 threshold.
6. **QED:** A (0.809) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.76) is also good, but slightly lower.
7. **DILI:** A (38.736) is very good, low risk. B (28.965) is even better, indicating a very low DILI risk.
8. **BBB:** A (39.24) is low, not a concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. B (28.616) is also low, not a concern.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.755) is very poor, suggesting extremely low intestinal absorption. B (-5.543) is also poor, but slightly better.
10. **Solubility:** A (0.06) is very poor. B (-2.047) is also poor, but better than A.
11. **hERG:** A (0.256) is excellent, very low risk of cardiotoxicity. B (0.1) is even better.

For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is significantly hampered by its extremely low logP, poor Caco-2 permeability, and very poor solubility. These factors will likely lead to very poor oral bioavailability. Ligand B, despite a slightly higher TPSA and poorer solubility than ideal, has a much more favorable logP, better permeability, and a significantly better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). The DILI and hERG risk are also lower for Ligand B. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (23.745) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-4.309). This is a positive for Ligand A. However, the negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have a Pgp efflux score of 0.539 and 0.016, respectively.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.0 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B appears to be the better candidate despite its low logP. While its low logP is a concern for permeability, the significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life), lower DILI risk, and much lower hERG risk outweigh this drawback. Both ligands have poor solubility and permeability (Caco-2). The strong binding affinity is a positive for both, but the ADME properties are more critical for initial selection. The poor solubility of both compounds will need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (332.367 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.7) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (35.58) is also very good.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.455, B: 2.251), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 6 HBA, which is favorable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.732, B: 0.842), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 80.109, which is concerning (high risk). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 23.653, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A (77.007) shows reasonable BBB penetration, while Ligand B (90.074) is even better. However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS targets are involved.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.541 and -4.418), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.321 and -1.647), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.421) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.943), but both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.895) has a moderate microsomal clearance, while Ligand B (-31.537) has a *negative* clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests exceptional metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.469) has a moderate half-life, while Ligand B (-4.895) has a negative half-life, which is also unusual and suggests very high stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.109, B: 0.173).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -10.7 kcal/mol, B: -10.2 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good potency and acceptable physicochemical properties (except for solubility and Caco-2), Ligand B is significantly better due to its dramatically lower DILI risk and exceptionally high metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic and t1/2). The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The lower DILI risk and increased metabolic stability are more difficult to improve post-hoc.

**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.796) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.565), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (22.179 and 23.226 percentile), which is good.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A has a higher BBB penetration (90.306%) than Ligand B (64.676%). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.547) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.085). Lower (more negative) values indicate lower permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.26) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.006).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.738 and 0.549), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (91.927 mL/min/kg) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (66.464 mL/min/kg), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.453 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (1.719 hours), which is preferable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.255) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.639), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While Ligand A has a better QED and P-gp efflux, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.4 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the minor ADME drawbacks. The longer half-life of Ligand B is also a significant advantage for kinase inhibitors, which often benefit from sustained target engagement. The slightly lower Caco-2 permeability is a minor concern, but the strong binding affinity suggests it can be overcome with formulation strategies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-24.45) has a very short half-life. Ligand B (-40.183) has an even shorter half-life, but the negative values indicate these are percentile scores, and lower is worse.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.291, B: 0.008), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, poor solubility, and high microsomal clearance. Ligand B has superior ADME properties (low DILI, excellent metabolic stability, better solubility), but its binding affinity is weaker.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical advantage. While the ADME properties are suboptimal, these can potentially be addressed through further medicinal chemistry optimization. The excellent metabolic stability of Ligand B is attractive, but the weaker binding affinity is a significant hurdle.

**DILI:** Ligand A (68.941) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (38.581). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (72.625) is slightly better than Ligand B (65.374). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but it's a minor positive for Ligand A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the experimental setup or prediction method. We'll proceed cautiously with this data point.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, we'll proceed cautiously.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.876) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.288). Lower hERG risk is preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.034) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.973), meaning it's less metabolically stable. Lower clearance is preferred.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (94.48) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-1.304). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.873) has a slightly higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.053). Lower efflux is preferred.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.6 kcal/mol difference is notable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in QED, BBB, and *especially* in vitro half-life. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, higher microsomal clearance, and slightly higher P-gp efflux. Ligand B has a better binding affinity, lower DILI and hERG risk, lower clearance, and lower P-gp efflux.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. Ligand B's superior metabolic stability and safety profile, combined with its slightly better binding affinity, outweigh Ligand A's longer half-life. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other properties favor Ligand B.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.379 and 370.515 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (133.39) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (66.92) is well within the optimal range.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.444) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.634) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 7 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.637 and 0.665), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (62.893) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (44.824), which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration scores (58.278 and 53.703), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.516 and -4.625), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.946 and -2.586), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.042) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.368) has a slightly higher, but still relatively low, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.288) has a negative clearance, suggesting very high metabolic stability, which is excellent. Ligand B (86.609) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability, a significant concern.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.045 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-20.099 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and likely indicates an issue with the prediction or the molecule itself.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.152).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol), but both are good.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite both compounds having issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly better metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic) and excellent hERG profile outweigh the slightly lower logP and higher DILI risk. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag. The superior binding affinity of Ligand A further supports its selection. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues will be crucial for either compound, but Ligand A starts from a stronger position regarding key ADME-Tox properties relevant to kinase inhibitors.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, lower t1/2), higher P-gp efflux, and higher hERG risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2, lower P-gp efflux, lower hERG risk) despite slightly weaker binding affinity. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety (hERG) for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in these parameters, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.442 and 0.609, both >0.5).
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (31.33 and 32.842, both <40).
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (78.519 and 70.997). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's not detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.286) has very poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.877) is also poor, but slightly better than A.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.313) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (11.719) has significantly lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.808) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-21.692) has a *negative* half-life, which is impossible and likely indicates an issue with the data or the model. This is a major red flag.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.019 and 0.225).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9). However, the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold where affinity strongly outweighs other factors.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 84.645, which is relatively high. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 60.915, still above the ideal <40, but considerably better than Ligand A. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (80.458) than Ligand A (62.97), but this is not a major factor in this case.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.353 and -4.891), which is unusual. However, the scale is not specified, so we can't interpret this directly.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.867 and -4.017), which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While both are excellent, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk, a longer half-life, and a slightly better binding affinity. The lower TPSA of Ligand B is also favorable. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the difference in DILI and half-life are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC.

**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.6, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (38.658) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (9.965), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for SRC, but Ligand A (74.176) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (32.299).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.131 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (11.244 hours), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh many ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. The significantly improved binding affinity (-9.1 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. While both have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, the superior affinity of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful in driving efficacy. The lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability of Ligand A are also significant advantages. Although Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), the longer half-life of Ligand A partially mitigates this concern.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.443 and 362.495 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.57) is slightly higher than Ligand B (69.64), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.775 and 2.578), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 4 HBA, meeting the criteria of <=5 and <=10 respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.828 and 0.865), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (39.744 and 37.456), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (65.762 and 77.007). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.784 and -4.913). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not clearly defined. It's a potential concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.371 and -2.965). Similar to Caco-2, this is concerning, and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.337 and 0.434), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (23.529) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (31.587), indicating better metabolic stability, a key priority for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-22.403) has a *negative* half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag and indicates a significant issue with the data or the compound itself. Ligand A has a reasonable half-life (44.941).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (0.147 and 0.217), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold to outweigh other issues, it's still a positive.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, the *negative* in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. This suggests either a data error or a fundamentally unstable compound. Ligand A, while not perfect (poor Caco-2 and solubility), has a reasonable half-life and acceptable ADME properties overall. Therefore, Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (357.426) and B (351.447) are very similar.
2. **TPSA:** A (78.95) is better than B (95.67). TPSA is acceptable for both, but lower is generally preferred for oral absorption.
3. **logP:** A (0.337) is lower than B (1.785). Both are within the optimal range, but A is approaching the lower limit, which could affect permeability.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is better than B (2). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both A (5) and B (5) are within the acceptable range (<=10).
6. **QED:** Both A (0.734) and B (0.781) are good, indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** A (28.306) is better than B (31.136). Both are low risk, but A has a lower percentile.
8. **BBB:** A (79.217) is significantly better than B (55.874). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.43) is better than B (-4.858). Higher values indicate better absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.363) is better than B (-1.682). Higher solubility is preferred.
11. **hERG:** A (0.51) is better than B (0.38). Lower hERG inhibition is crucial for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (43.995) is worse than B (26.439). Lower clearance is better for metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for B.
13. **t1/2:** A (-8.688) is worse than B (-10.768). Longer half-life is generally preferred. This is a significant advantage for B.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.015) is significantly better than B (0.15). Lower P-gp efflux is desirable for better bioavailability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Both A (-7.8) and B (-8.6) have excellent binding affinity. B is 0.8 kcal/mol better, which is a substantial advantage and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** B has a slightly better affinity (-8.6 vs -7.8).
* **Metabolic Stability:** B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** A has slightly better solubility.
* **hERG:** A has a slightly better hERG profile.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has some advantages in solubility, hERG, and Pgp efflux, Ligand B's superior binding affinity and *significantly* improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are more critical for a kinase inhibitor. The 0.8 kcal/mol difference in binding is substantial. The slightly worse solubility and Pgp efflux of B are less concerning given its strong metabolic profile.
Therefore, I predict **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar, relatively low microsomal clearance (-23.987 and -21.433), suggesting reasonable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.365) has a slightly worse half-life than Ligand B (-5.91), but both are negative, which is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show minimal P-gp efflux liability (0.001 and 0.032).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-9.0 and -10.9 kcal/mol). Ligand B is significantly more potent.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility, Ligand B is the superior candidate. It has a significantly better binding affinity, a much lower DILI risk, a slightly better logP, and a better QED score. The improved potency and reduced toxicity risk outweigh the similar metabolic stability and P-gp efflux profiles. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the starting point is better with Ligand B.

**Overall Assessment:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial. While Ligand A has a better half-life and acceptable hERG, its poor solubility and high clearance are major liabilities. Ligand B exhibits superior binding affinity, excellent hERG inhibition, low P-gp efflux, and good metabolic stability. Although its half-life is short, the significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol) and other favorable ADME properties outweigh this drawback. The solubility is also better than Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B as potential drug candidates targeting SRC, a kinase. Our priorities are potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.423 and 362.499 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (53.35) is better than Ligand B (56.75), both are acceptable but lower is preferred for permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.829 and 2.072), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 0 HBD and 5 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.786 and 0.826), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (56.107 and 57.348), which is acceptable, though not ideal.
**BBB:** Ligand A (90.074) has better BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (85.731), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.967) has slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.625).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.463) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.879).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.613 and 0.568), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand B (59.507) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (68.749), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand B (-0.72) has a significantly better in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-14.686). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.245) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand A (0.641), which is favorable for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor. A >7.3 kcal/mol advantage is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having better metabolic stability and P-gp efflux, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-7.3 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) makes it the more promising drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity is large enough to compensate for the slightly less favorable metabolic properties.

15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol), but the difference is not substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While Ligand A has slightly better affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk and much higher microsomal clearance are major drawbacks. Ligand B excels in metabolic stability, has a much lower DILI risk, and acceptable affinity. The solubility and permeability data are concerning for both, but the ADME profile of Ligand B is far superior.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall profile, Ligand B is the more viable drug candidate. The better ADME properties, particularly the lower DILI risk and improved metabolic stability, outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.459 and 346.431 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (45.25) is significantly better than Ligand B (96.25). A TPSA under 140 is desirable for oral absorption, and both meet this, but A is much closer to the preferred range for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (1.316 and 1.0), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 5 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA). Lower HBDs are generally preferred.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.804 and 0.654), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (34.82 and 39.473), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (80.884) has a much higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (39.511). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of reduced off-target effects.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.37 and -4.872). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.067) is better than Ligand B (-2.943), indicating slightly better solubility. Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.671 and 0.098), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.428 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.458 mL/min/kg). This suggests much better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.505 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-14.898 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.05 and 0.057).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While both have good potency, Ligand A excels in ADME properties, particularly metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and solubility. Its lower TPSA is also favorable. The slightly better BBB score is a bonus. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh this.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.1 and -7.0 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has better TPSA and BBB penetration (irrelevant here), Ligand A excels in crucial areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower hERG risk. The slightly lower logP and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A are less concerning given its superior safety and pharmacokinetic profiles. The binding affinities are comparable, so the ADME advantages of Ligand A outweigh any minor differences in potency.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.151) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.695) has a slightly elevated risk, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (35.469 and 35.065 mL/min/kg), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a significantly longer in vitro half-life (7.219 hours) compared to Ligand A (-4.208 hours). This is a substantial advantage for dosing considerations.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.023) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.195) has slightly higher efflux, but still reasonable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a *much* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive factor. A difference of >7 kcal/mol is extremely significant and can outweigh many other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and longer half-life outweigh the slightly higher hERG risk and P-gp efflux. The binding affinity difference is so large that it overrides the concerns about the other parameters.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.4).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.3 kcal/mol, and the other advantages of Ligand A likely outweigh this.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme targets (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a better in vitro half-life. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, the difference is small and is offset by the superior ADME properties of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.361 and 355.341 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.56) is slightly higher than Ligand B (87.74). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (though that's not a priority here).
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.671) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (0.061) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range, but still on the lower end.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 8 HBAs, while Ligand B has 4. Both are acceptable (<=10), but Ligand B is preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.689 and 0.724), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (55.68) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (46.452), but both are below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This isn't a high priority for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand A (78.364) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (63.358).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have similar, very poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.942 and -4.922). This is a significant concern for oral bioavailability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.865 and -2.643). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.45 and 0.202), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-7.839) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-7.354), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-28.204) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-35.316), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.128 and 0.01), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better metabolic stability and half-life, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-9.3 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The affinity difference is large enough to compensate for the slightly lower metabolic stability and solubility. Both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, which would need to be addressed in further optimization, but potency is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (343.387 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (98.56) is better than Ligand B (54.34), being closer to the threshold for good oral absorption (<=140).
**logP:** Ligand A (0.737) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.917) is within the optimal range (1-3). This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and are within acceptable limits. Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 4. Both are acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.869) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.649), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.511) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (32.183). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (50.523) and Ligand B (65.413) are both relatively low, but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.647) is significantly worse than Ligand B (-5.426), suggesting lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.806) is worse than Ligand B (-2.575), indicating lower solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.171) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.801). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.254) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (74.353), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.022) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (11.008), but both are reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.011) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.638) is higher, but still acceptable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it is still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED, slightly better affinity, lower hERG risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, it suffers from lower solubility, lower Caco-2 permeability, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand B has better logP and lower DILI, but worse QED, higher hERG, and significantly worse metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is crucial. The substantial difference in Cl_mic strongly favors Ligand A. The slightly better affinity also contributes. While the DILI risk is a concern, it's not as critical as poor metabolic stability, and could potentially be addressed through further optimization. The lower solubility and permeability are also concerns, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.28 and 358.44 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.22) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B (108.33) is still within acceptable limits, but less favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.566) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-0.169) is below 1, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is excellent. Ligand B (3) is acceptable, but higher donors can sometimes impact permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is good. Ligand B (6) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.793) is excellent, indicating strong drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.411) is lower, suggesting a less ideal drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (87.282) has a higher DILI risk, but is still below the concerning 60 threshold. Ligand B (21.287) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (94.184) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (29.818).
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.229) and Ligand B (-5.156) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and the absolute magnitude is important. Without knowing the scale, it's hard to interpret.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.842) and Ligand B (-0.827) both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.344) has a low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.234) has even lower hERG risk, which is a major advantage.
**Cl_mic:** Ligand A (31.996) has a moderate clearance. Ligand B (-12.554) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible. This is likely an error in the data, or a different unit. Assuming it's a percentile, it suggests extremely high metabolic stability.
**t1/2:** Ligand A (31.971) has a good in vitro half-life. Ligand B (8.524) has a shorter half-life, which is less desirable.
**Pgp:** Ligand A (0.194) has low Pgp efflux liability. Ligand B (0.02) has very low Pgp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and potentially much better metabolic stability (indicated by the anomalous Cl_mic value). While Ligand A has slightly better affinity and BBB penetration, the issues with solubility and the higher DILI risk are concerning. The negative Cl_mic for Ligand B is a data anomaly that needs investigation, but even if it's a moderate value, the overall profile is more favorable. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values for both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed in further optimization.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) and lower DILI risk. However, it has higher microsomal clearance and a shorter half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker and its DILI risk is higher.
The significant difference in binding affinity favors Ligand A. While the metabolic stability is a concern, it might be addressable through structural modifications. The lower DILI risk is also a significant benefit. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, and would need further investigation.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (76.309) has a higher BBB score, but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.916) has a negative Caco-2 value, indicating poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.061) is also poor, but similar to A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.567) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-5.507) is even worse. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.179) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.686) is slightly higher but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-8.449) has a negative clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (111.035) has a high clearance, indicating rapid metabolism, which is a significant negative.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.05) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-24.644) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a severe instability issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.015 and 0.493).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from significantly higher DILI risk, very poor solubility, and extremely high metabolic clearance/low half-life. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower hERG), but its low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability are concerning, and its affinity is weaker.
Despite the superior affinity of Ligand B, the extremely poor metabolic stability and high DILI risk make it a less viable candidate. While the affinity is strong, the rapid metabolism will likely result in low *in vivo* exposure. Ligand A, while weaker in binding, has a far more favorable ADME profile. Further optimization of Ligand A to improve its logP and permeability would be a more promising strategy than attempting to fix the severe issues with Ligand B.

Despite Ligand B's advantages in DILI, metabolic stability, and P-gp efflux, the dramatically superior binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.6 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The potency difference is so large that it likely outweighs the concerns regarding its slightly higher logP, TPSA, and DILI risk. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand B (27.685) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (66.421). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.841 and 71.539), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.31 and -4.679). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. It's likely these are logP-scaled values where negative values indicate low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.101 and -4.778). This is also unusual and suggests poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.569) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.351), though both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (63.466) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (74.937), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-1.624) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error or a scaled value indicating very rapid degradation. Ligand A (41.018) has a much better half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.151 and 0.237).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.7 and -8.8 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor. The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B appears to be a more promising drug candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are crucial advantages. While the negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning, the strong binding affinity might compensate for these issues with appropriate formulation strategies. The half-life for Ligand B is suspect due to the negative value, but even if it's a low positive value, Ligand A still has a much better half-life. The slightly better QED score of Ligand A is not enough to offset the higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (3 & 4) counts, well below the thresholds of 5 and 10, respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED scores (0.878 and 0.852), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have very similar and acceptable DILI risk (35.944 and 35.479 percentile), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (88.949 and 82.513 percentile), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.696) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.872), indicating lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.651) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.061). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.944) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.11), which is a significant advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.201 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.871 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.162 hours) has a slightly worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (3.138 hours).

**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (35.169 and 72.082). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.037 and -4.871). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading, and are less important than other ADME properties.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.509 and -1.848). This is a concern, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.285 and 0.205), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 17.369 mL/min/kg, while Ligand B has a Cl_mic of 14.453 mL/min/kg. Lower is better, so Ligand B has a slight advantage in metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 31.972 hours, while Ligand B has a t1/2 of -0.791 hours. This is a *major* difference. A negative half-life is highly unusual and indicates very rapid metabolism.

While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life (though the negative values are suspect and require further investigation), the high DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand B's lower TPSA also suggests better permeability, and its hERG risk is slightly lower. The higher clearance of Ligand B is a concern, but could potentially be addressed through structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.407 and 351.447 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (118.37) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (82.11) is well within the ideal range.
**logP:** Both ligands (-0.483 and -0.247) are a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. However, they are not excessively low.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.544 and 0.59), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.191) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (6.592) has a very low DILI risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (27.491 and 19.969), which is not a major concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.56 and -5.179), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.001 and -1.281). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially impacting bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.022) has a very low hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.201) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.866) has a moderate microsomal clearance, while Ligand B (-0.126) has a *very* low (and favorable) clearance. This suggests Ligand B is much more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (24.017 hours) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (10.824 hours) is shorter, though still potentially acceptable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.009).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B is the superior candidate. It has a significantly better binding affinity, a much lower DILI risk, and substantially improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly shorter half-life of Ligand B is less concerning than the other advantages it possesses. The improved affinity likely outweighs the permeability concerns, and formulation strategies can be explored to address the solubility issue.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.746) is better than Ligand B (-1.624), which is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.653, B: 0.502).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.385) has higher clearance than Ligand B (33.311), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.322) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-17.159), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.235, B: 0.165).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (A: -8.4 kcal/mol, B: -8.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, QED, DILI, Solubility, Caco-2) and has comparable binding affinity. However, its higher microsomal clearance and shorter half-life are concerning. Ligand B has a better half-life and lower clearance, but suffers from a higher DILI risk, poorer solubility, and lower QED.
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (SRC kinase), metabolic stability (half-life and clearance) and solubility are critical. While Ligand A has better overall drug-likeness, Ligand B's superior metabolic stability and acceptable (though not ideal) DILI risk make it the more promising candidate. The small difference in binding affinity is outweighed by the ADME advantages of Ligand B.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.014) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.037).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is 1 kcal/mol, which is substantial, but needs to be weighed against other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADMET properties, particularly regarding DILI risk, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and hERG risk. These factors are crucial for kinase inhibitors. The slightly lower affinity of Ligand A can potentially be optimized in subsequent iterations, but mitigating the higher risk profile of Ligand B would be more challenging. The negative Caco-2 values are concerning for both, and would need to be addressed, but the other advantages of Ligand A make it the more promising starting point.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (419.662 Da) is higher, but still acceptable. Ligand B (349.431 Da) is slightly preferred.
**TPSA:** Both are reasonably low (Ligand A: 82.28, Ligand B: 83.66), suggesting good potential for cell permeability. Both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.273) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (1.473) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B is preferred.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) both fall within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.73) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.388), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (98.178) has a very high DILI risk, a major concern. Ligand B (34.161) has a low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (71.617) is better than Ligand B (49.981).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual and suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG:** Both have low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.316, Ligand B: 0.32), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (94.01) has a high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (23.565) has much lower clearance, a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (61.173) has a reasonable half-life, but Ligand B (12.786) is much lower, indicating faster metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.456, Ligand B: 0.048). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, its extremely high DILI risk and high microsomal clearance are major drawbacks. The poor solubility and permeability (indicated by negative Caco-2 and solubility values) are also concerning. Ligand B, while having a weaker affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (low DILI), improved metabolic stability (low Cl_mic), and a better QED score. The difference in binding affinity (1 kcal/mol) is not large enough to overcome the significant ADME/Tox liabilities of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.475 and 350.419 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (86.88 and 87.91) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.772) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.66) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (1) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (6) are both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.676 and 0.727), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (31.601 and 36.099 percentiles), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (57.193 and 64.986 percentiles). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values (-5.112 and -4.894). This is unusual and concerning, indicating poor intestinal absorption. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.032 and -0.804). This is also concerning, suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.395 and 0.153 percentiles), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a higher microsomal clearance (57.93 mL/min/kg) compared to Ligand B (14.799 mL/min/kg). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a longer in vitro half-life (1.623 hours) compared to Ligand A (-19.622 hours). The negative value for Ligand A is suspect and likely an error or indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.116 and 0.009 percentiles), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (2.2 kcal/mol), which could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand A's significantly superior binding affinity (-9.7 kcal/mol vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and lower microsomal clearance, combined with acceptable DILI and hERG risk, make it the more promising candidate. The affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility/permeability issues through formulation strategies. Ligand B's better metabolic stability is appealing, but the weaker binding is a major drawback for an enzyme target.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.632 and -4.82), which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a major red flag for both compounds.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.844 and -3.485), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.666) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.132). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand B (32.345) has a significantly lower Cl_mic, indicating better metabolic stability, than Ligand A (55.968). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (24.438) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (3.78). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.8 and -7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, BBB, and P-gp efflux. However, Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and has a more favorable logP. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both compounds are concerning and would require significant optimization. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial for kinase inhibitors. The significantly better metabolic stability and longer half-life of Ligand B outweigh the slightly higher hERG risk and lower BBB.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and a longer half-life. However, it has a higher logP, higher DILI risk, and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better solubility, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. The difference in binding affinity is significant (-7.5 vs -10.1 kcal/mol). For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount.

Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate due to its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The improved binding affinity is a critical factor for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, and the difference is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility and permeability issues through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.375 and 344.371 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (130.14) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, while Ligand B (117.52) is well within the range.
**3. logP:** Both ligands (0.457 and 0.483) are a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ideally, we want 1-3.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 3 HBD, which is acceptable (<=5).
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 4 HBA, both within the acceptable range (<=10).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.722 and 0.689, both >=0.5).
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (58.434) has a better DILI score than Ligand B (65.646), indicating lower liver injury risk. Both are acceptable, but A is preferable.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (61.535) has a slightly better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (43.815), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.532 and -5.981), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.99 and -3.181), which is also concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.186 and 0.159), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.713) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-18.126). This suggests significantly better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a critical factor for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-46.246) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-16.384). This further supports its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.018).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.8), a difference of 0.5 kcal/mol. While a difference of >1.5 kcal/mol would be highly influential, 0.5 kcal/mol is not enough to overcome the significant ADME deficiencies of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. Its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and slightly better BBB penetration outweigh the small difference in binding affinity. Both compounds have poor Caco-2 and solubility, which would need to be addressed in further optimization, but Ligand A's profile is more favorable overall.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a substantial advantage in binding affinity. Ligand A has better metabolic stability, but its poor solubility and half-life are concerning. The significantly better binding affinity of Ligand B is likely to be more important, especially if further optimization can address its metabolic stability.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, especially the strong binding affinity and better overall ADME profile (despite slightly lower metabolic stability), Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (356.463 and 352.45 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (99.1) is higher than Ligand B (60.85). While both are reasonably good, Ligand B is better positioned for oral absorption due to the lower TPSA.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.575) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.614) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits, but Ligand B's lower count may slightly favor permeability.

**DILI:** Ligand A (7.445) has a very favorable DILI score, significantly lower than Ligand B (8.104). This is a strong point for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (60.954) and Ligand B (83.56) both have scores that are not particularly relevant for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.993) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.548) is slightly better, but still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.934) and Ligand B (-2.335) both have poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.101) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.433) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.265) shows excellent metabolic stability (negative value suggests slow clearance), while Ligand B (28.256) has a high clearance, indicating rapid metabolism. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.626) has a very long half-life, consistent with its low clearance. Ligand B (-14.932) has a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.018) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.111) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in safety (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), and P-gp efflux. However, its low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability are concerning. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and a more favorable logP, but suffers from poor metabolic stability and a slightly higher DILI risk.
Given that SRC is an enzyme, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. While Ligand A has superior ADME properties, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.0 vs -6.1 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. A 1.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can be addressed through further optimization. The metabolic instability of Ligand B is a concern, but potentially mitigable through structural modifications.

For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and significantly better hERG risk and P-gp efflux. While Ligand A has better TPSA, logP, QED, and DILI, the solubility and metabolic stability of Ligand B are more crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The poor half-life for both is a concern, but can be addressed in later optimization. The poor permeability of both is also a concern.

Ligand B has a reasonable half-life, but suffers from higher DILI risk and worse metabolic stability. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to overcome the ADME liabilities. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the severe issue with Ligand A's half-life, neither is ideal. However, the DILI risk is a major concern for Ligand B.

11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.182) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.723). This is a significant safety advantage.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (70.808) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (11.579), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (24.226) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.848). This is a substantial advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.025) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.762). Lower efflux is favorable for bioavailability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5). While a 1.5 kcal/mol advantage is usually significant, the other ADME properties of Ligand B are concerning.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzyme targets like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B has a better affinity and t1/2, but suffers from higher logP, DILI, hERG, and lower solubility. Ligand A has a more balanced profile with better solubility, lower toxicity (DILI, hERG), and acceptable affinity.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, the significantly improved safety profile (DILI, hERG) and better solubility of Ligand A, combined with acceptable affinity, make it the more promising drug candidate. The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the other liabilities are too significant to ignore.

**DILI:** Ligand A (78.945) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (21.753). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (79.062) is higher than Ligand B (36.642), but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.259) is very poor, indicating extremely low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.152) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.766) has very poor solubility, which is a major concern. Ligand B (-1.572) is better, but still low.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.809) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but not alarming. Ligand B (0.222) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (88.964) has a high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-15.661) has a negative clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.015) has a short half-life. Ligand B (-24.013) has a very long half-life, a major benefit.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.504) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.012) has very low P-gp efflux, improving bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, and can be outweighed by other factors.

Ligand A has a reasonable half-life but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher clearance, and higher hERG risk.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the negative half-life value for Ligand B, the significant advantages in DILI, hERG, and metabolic stability, coupled with slightly better affinity, make it the more promising candidate *if* the half-life value is an error. The negative half-life is a critical issue that needs to be investigated. If the half-life is indeed negative, Ligand A would be the better choice, despite its drawbacks, due to its reasonable half-life. Assuming the half-life for B is a data error, I will select B.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.173) and Ligand B (-4.632) are both negative, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't fully defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.157) and Ligand B (-3.401) are both negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.028) and Ligand B (0.297) both have very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand A is better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.052) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (48.014), suggesting greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (48.902) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-38.58), indicating better metabolic stability.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Ligand A (342.439 Da) is within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand B (389.989 Da) is also within the ideal range. No clear advantage here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (56.52) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (60.77) is also good, but slightly higher. A favors better absorption.
3. **logP:** Both ligands (A: 4.241, B: 4.387) are slightly above the optimal 1-3 range, but not drastically so. This could potentially lead to some off-target effects or solubility issues, but is manageable. No clear advantage.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (1) is better than Ligand B (2) - fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (5) is better than Ligand B (4) - fewer HBAs generally improve permeability.
6. **QED:** Ligand A (0.881) is significantly better than Ligand B (0.623), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (59.248) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (13.61). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (87.67) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (62.117), but this isn't a primary concern for an oncology target like SRC kinase.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.936) is better than Ligand B (-4.655) - higher (less negative) Caco-2 values indicate better absorption.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.672) is better than Ligand B (-3.84) - higher (less negative) solubility values are preferred.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.697) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.777), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (70.158) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (83.811), suggesting better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (3.664) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (66.075). This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.54) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.71), which is favorable for bioavailability.
15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has *significantly* better binding affinity than Ligand B (0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has a *much* stronger binding affinity, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), better solubility, and a slightly better hERG profile. However, it has a significantly shorter half-life and higher DILI risk. The massive difference in binding affinity (-8.9 vs 0) is likely to outweigh the drawbacks of the shorter half-life and higher DILI risk, especially in the context of oncology where rapid tumor targeting is often desired. The DILI risk could be mitigated with further structural modifications.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the higher DILI risk and shorter half-life, the dramatically superior binding affinity of Ligand A makes it the more promising drug candidate.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 35.324, which is good (low risk). Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 10.237, which is excellent. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration (56.611 and 76.347). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a critical factor.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.637 and -4.602), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.152 and -1.248), which is also concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.411 and 0.223), which is positive. Ligand B has a slightly lower risk.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a negative Cl_mic (-1.527), indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B has a positive Cl_mic (20.948), suggesting faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life (18.332 hours) than Ligand B (-8.4 hours). This is a clear advantage for Ligand A, suggesting less frequent dosing.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge (0.3 kcal/mol), it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life). The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning and would require formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and half-life are crucial for kinase inhibitors. The 0.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is unlikely to overcome the significant difference in metabolic stability.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (111.54) is better than Ligand B (46.61), being below the 140 A^2 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B is very low, which could be a concern for binding.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.86) is slightly below the optimal 1-3 range, while Ligand B (3.295) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is good, while Ligand B (0) is also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (7) is good, while Ligand B (4) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.419 and 0.794), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is significantly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (85.77) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (56.844). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have acceptable BBB penetration (72.237 and 77.511). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.943 and -4.733), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a major red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.702 and -4.087), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant issue for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.214) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.457), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.671) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (121.046), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a strong advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.721) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (12.645).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.131) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.644), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME liabilities.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux. However, it has a higher DILI risk and poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has better QED, lower DILI, and acceptable logP, but significantly weaker binding affinity and worse metabolic stability.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a major factor. While the solubility and permeability are concerning, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The DILI risk is also a concern, but may be manageable. The weaker affinity of Ligand B makes it less likely to be a viable candidate, even with better ADME properties.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands (359.411 and 354.451 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
2. **TPSA:** Both ligands (108.09 and 105.48) are slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but not drastically so.

4. **HBD:** Ligand A (1) is excellent. Ligand B (3) is acceptable, but higher.
5. **HBA:** Both ligands (6) are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
6. **QED:** Ligand A (0.847) has a much better drug-likeness score than Ligand B (0.59).
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (79.915) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (58.705). This is a major concern.
8. **BBB:** Both are relatively low, which is fine for an oncology target, as CNS penetration isn't a priority. Ligand B (36.293) is slightly lower than Ligand A (46.646).
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.105) is worse than Ligand B (-4.74).
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-4.02) is worse than Ligand B (-2.253).

**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 3 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 4, both within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.673 and 0.513), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.327) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.214). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are not directly comparable without knowing the scale.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.135 and 0.099).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.713 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (42.773 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.812 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-28.12 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error or outlier.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.024 and 0.031).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol), a difference of 1.1 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI risk, its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.6 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) outweigh the DILI concern, especially given the relatively moderate risk (64.327). The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the binding affinity difference is a critical factor for an enzyme target. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a red flag.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.681 and 0.528, respectively), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.689) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (16.014). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (58.666 and 59.946). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are similar (-5.271 and -4.541).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-1.968) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.137).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.041) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.607) has a moderate hERG risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.464) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.967), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.556 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (5.338 hours).

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.2). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol vs -9.2 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage that can potentially overcome some of its drawbacks. However, its major weaknesses are its poor solubility, high microsomal clearance, and short half-life. Ligand A has better solubility, metabolic stability, and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) is paramount. The 1.5 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While Ligand B's ADME properties are less favorable, these can potentially be addressed through further optimization. The poor solubility and high clearance are more readily tackled than significantly improving binding affinity. Ligand A's weak binding makes it less likely to be a viable candidate even with better ADME properties.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1 & 2 respectively) and HBA (4 each) counts.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.822) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.55) is acceptable, but less desirable.
**DILI:** Ligand A (6.475) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (22.489) is higher, but still within a reasonable range.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (89.531) is better than Ligand B (46.452).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.723) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.128) is also poor. Both are problematic.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better logP and solubility, Ligand B is superior overall. The key advantages of Ligand B are its significantly lower DILI risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. These factors are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor like an SRC kinase inhibitor. The slightly lower logP and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand B are less concerning than the higher DILI and poor metabolic stability of Ligand A.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.407 and 367.515 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (118.37) is slightly above the optimal <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (75.45) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.534) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.428) is within the optimal 1-3 range.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (8) is acceptable. Ligand B (6) is also good.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.589 and 0.625), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (43.311) has a moderate DILI risk, but is still acceptable. Ligand B (28.461) has a lower, more favorable DILI risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (66.072) is higher than Ligand A (53.432), but it's not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.311) is very poor, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.471) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.837) is poor. Ligand B (-3.1) is very poor. Both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.124) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.548) has a slightly elevated, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.806) has very low clearance, indicating good metabolic stability. This is a major advantage. Ligand B (82.617) has high clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism, which is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.525) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (30.569) has a much longer half-life, a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.008) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.228) has slightly higher efflux, but still acceptable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a better logP and significantly better binding affinity, Ligand A's superior metabolic stability (much lower Cl_mic) and very low hERG risk are highly desirable for an enzyme inhibitor. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerns, but the strong binding affinity of B and its longer half-life are compelling. However, the significantly better metabolic stability of A is a strong advantage for kinase inhibitors, where prolonged target engagement is often desired. Considering the balance, the stronger binding affinity of B is likely to be more important than the slightly better metabolic stability of A.

While both ligands have some drawbacks (poor solubility, potentially poor permeability based on Caco-2), Ligand B is clearly superior. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and longer half-life are crucial advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower P-gp efflux is also a positive. The slightly higher hERG risk is a minor concern compared to the other benefits.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (344.419 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (371.815 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.05) is better than Ligand B (62.13). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand A is closer to the 90 A^2 threshold for CNS penetration, although that's not a primary concern here.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.506) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (4.101) is high, potentially causing solubility and off-target issues.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 3 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.875 and 0.831), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (43.234) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (53.858), which is preferable. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (43.311) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (77.976). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.314) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.748) is slightly better, but still poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.298) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-4.658) is even worse. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.245) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.392), which is preferable. Both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-15.494) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.588), indicating much better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.23) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (14.836). This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.01) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.158) is slightly higher. This is better for Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. Despite its poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and lower P-gp efflux) and slightly better binding affinity outweigh these drawbacks. The lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability are also favorable. Ligand B's high logP and poor solubility are major concerns, and its higher metabolic clearance is undesirable.

Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, I would lean towards Ligand B as the more promising starting point, *despite* the poor solubility/permeability and half-life. These issues can be addressed through medicinal chemistry optimization, while a poor affinity is much harder to fix.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.289 and 363.483 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.63) is higher than Ligand B (56.59). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.533 and 2.581) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 0 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 6 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.623 and 0.685), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (84.762) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (50.136). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.731) has a higher BBB score than Ligand B (67.197).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-3.871) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.691), indicating lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.29) has a worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.256).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.275) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.507), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (118.049) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (98.623), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (8.078) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-34.453), which is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.426) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.321), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7). However, the difference is relatively small (0.2 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and lower P-gp efflux, the significantly higher DILI risk, lower solubility, worse Caco-2 permeability, and substantially shorter half-life outweigh this benefit. Ligand B demonstrates a better balance of properties, particularly regarding safety (DILI) and pharmacokinetic parameters (half-life, solubility). The difference in binding affinity is not large enough to overcome the ADME/Tox liabilities of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.471 and 352.395 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (57.74) is significantly better than Ligand B (109.66). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand A is much closer to the ideal for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.238) is higher than the optimal range of 1-3, but still potentially manageable. Ligand B (-1.266) is too low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 5 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 7 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.791 and 0.684), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.183) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (64.366). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.292) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (49.128), though neither is exceptionally high. This isn't a major concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.874 and -4.952). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values might be artifacts of the prediction model.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.917 and -0.527). Again, this is concerning and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.695) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.059). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.796) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.585). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.13) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-2.915). This is a positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.335) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.014), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a 0.8 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand A has significantly better DILI and hERG profiles, better TPSA, and lower P-gp efflux. The poor solubility and permeability predictions for both are concerning, but the affinity difference is notable. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, coupled with its improved metabolic stability, outweighs the concerns about its higher DILI and hERG risk, *assuming* the solubility/permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification.

**QED:** Ligand B (0.832) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.414), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (91.663) has a high DILI risk, which is a major concern. Ligand B (32.842) has a much lower, and acceptable, DILI risk.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (Ligand A: 71.966, Ligand B: 94.029). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with in vitro permeability assays.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests potential issues with in vitro solubility assays.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.09) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.928) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less ideal.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.289) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.101), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.779) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (27.546) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.159) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.081), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2). However, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other significant drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a very high DILI risk and a negative in vitro half-life, which are major red flags. While it has better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux, the safety concerns are too significant. Ligand B has a better QED score, lower DILI risk, and a reasonable half-life, despite a slightly higher logP and moderate hERG risk. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning and would require further investigation, but the DILI risk for Ligand A is a dealbreaker.

**BBB:** Ligand B (88.833) has a much higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (52.85). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.121) has a negative Caco-2 value, indicating poor permeability. Ligand B (-4.95) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.78 and -4.285 respectively). This is a concern for both, but could be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.528, B: 0.661).

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.269, B: 0.468).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a better QED score. However, it has a higher DILI risk and significantly poorer Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but significantly weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is the most critical factor. While the DILI risk and permeability are concerns, these can potentially be mitigated through further optimization or formulation strategies. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-2 kcal/mol) is likely to have a greater impact on efficacy than the ADME liabilities of Ligand A.

Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. However, its high DILI risk is a major concern. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is very weak and its half-life is impossible. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are problematic for both. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the fact that the affinity difference is so large, Ligand A is the more promising candidate *if* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.47 and 358.42 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (45.23) is significantly better than Ligand B (95.42). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are under, but A is much more favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.325) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues, while Ligand B (1.726) is closer to the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 2 HBA) is better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.903 and 0.868), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (39.71) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.22), which is bordering on high risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (81.47) is better than Ligand B (40.09).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.588) is significantly better than Ligand B (-5.306). Higher values indicate better absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-4.27 and -4.126). This is a potential issue for both, but not a deciding factor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.712 and 0.09). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (37.354) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (56.359), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-26.268) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (3.781), which is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.207 and 0.035).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have identical binding affinities (-8.4 kcal/mol), which is excellent and removes this as a differentiating factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in TPSA, Caco-2 permeability, and DILI risk. However, its higher logP and microsomal clearance are drawbacks. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer half-life, which are crucial for an enzyme target. While its TPSA is higher and logP lower, the significantly improved metabolic stability and longer half-life outweigh these concerns, especially given the equal binding affinity. The DILI risk for Ligand B is a concern, but not insurmountable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as appropriate for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 349.439 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.67) is significantly better than Ligand B (110.76). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and A is comfortably within that range, while B is approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (1.819 and 1.102), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=8) as it has fewer H-bonds, which generally improves permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.759 and 0.734), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.626) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (59.131). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (75.378) is better than Ligand B (47.964).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so direct comparison is difficult.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified, making direct comparison difficult.
**hERG:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.134 and 0.041), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (49.418 and 50.088), suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-19.824) has a significantly *longer* half-life than Ligand B (22.651). This is a major advantage for A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing. Note the negative value for A is unusual, but relative to B, it's more favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.093 and 0.047).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a 0.9 kcal/mol difference, which is notable but not overwhelmingly decisive.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A excels in several critical ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better TPSA, longer half-life, and better BBB penetration. The differences in solubility and Caco-2 permeability are difficult to assess without knowing the scale. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved metabolic stability (half-life) and safety profile (DILI) of Ligand A outweigh the modest affinity difference.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (351.491 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (101.29) is better than Ligand B (122.31), falling comfortably under the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.034) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.174) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 3 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 8. Ligand A is better here, staying well below the 10 HBA threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.554 and 0.531), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.722) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (79.798). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand B (61.691) is slightly better than Ligand A (57.193). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are on a similar scale, so this isn't a major differentiator.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the values are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.119) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.343), which is crucial for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.761) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (54.187), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.018) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (1.506), which is generally desirable. However, this is somewhat offset by its poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.041) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. However, it suffers from a very low logP, high DILI risk, and a higher hERG risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (logP, DILI, hERG, Cl_mic), but its binding affinity is weaker.
Despite the affinity advantage of Ligand B, the combination of poor logP and elevated toxicity risks makes it a less attractive candidate. The lower logP will likely translate to poor oral bioavailability, and the higher DILI/hERG risks are major concerns. The affinity difference, while substantial, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its extremely poor solubility, negative Caco-2 permeability, and negative in vitro half-life are major red flags. These issues would likely lead to poor bioavailability and rapid clearance, negating the benefit of strong binding. Ligand B, while having weaker affinity, has better solubility, permeability, metabolic stability, and a reasonable half-life.

While both ligands have issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -8.3 kcal/mol), lower microsomal clearance, and longer half-life are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly higher logP and lower TPSA are also favorable. The higher hERG risk is a minor concern compared to the metabolic stability and potency benefits.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (421.371 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (366.462 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (A: 68.29, B: 71.25) below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.062) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (2.778) is well within it. Ligand A's higher logP *could* potentially lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but it's not drastically high.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable numbers of HBD (1) and HBA (A: 5, B: 6), falling within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.791, B: 0.818), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (81.388%) than Ligand B (40.83%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (79.217) than Ligand A (46.413), but this isn't a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.672 and -4.639). These values are unusual and suggest very poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.281 and -2.222). This is a significant drawback for both, but could be mitigated through formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.417, B: 0.665), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a much lower microsomal clearance (25.061 mL/min/kg) than Ligand A (72.313 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a negative in vitro half-life (-18.599 hours), which is nonsensical. Ligand A has a reasonable half-life (10.133 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is a clear red flag.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.617, B: 0.215).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (A: -8.5 kcal/mol, B: -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference (0.4 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh other concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have solubility and permeability concerns, Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a plausible half-life. Ligand A has a higher DILI risk and a higher Cl_mic, making it less favorable. The negative half-life for Ligand B is concerning, but could be a data error.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, lower hERG risk, and lower DILI risk. However, Ligand B has superior metabolic stability and a longer half-life. Both compounds suffer from poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability. The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While the ADME properties of A are not ideal, optimization efforts could focus on improving solubility and permeability. The weaker binding of Ligand B makes it less likely to be a viable candidate, even with better metabolic stability.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (347.317) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (59.75) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold. B (91.84) is still reasonable, but higher, potentially impacting absorption.
3. **logP:** A (3.147) is optimal. B (0.351) is quite low, raising concerns about permeability and potentially requiring higher doses.
4. **HBD:** A (0) is good. B (1) is acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (4) is good. B (6) is acceptable, but higher.
6. **QED:** Both are very similar and good (0.783 and 0.784), indicating good drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (83.753) is a significant concern, indicating high potential for liver injury. B (61.07) is still above the preferred <40, but considerably lower risk than A.
8. **BBB:** A (81.698) is good, but not critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. B (54.75) is lower.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-3.997) is very poor, suggesting very low intestinal absorption. B (-4.583) is also poor, but slightly better.
10. **Solubility:** A (-4.092) is very poor. B (-1.997) is also poor, but better than A.
11. **hERG:** A (0.421) is good, indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. B (0.118) is even better.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (13.463) is reasonable. B (38.267) is higher, suggesting faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure.
13. **t1/2:** A (15.382) is good. B (6.491) is shorter, potentially requiring more frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.422) is good, indicating low efflux. B (0.023) is excellent, suggesting minimal efflux.
15. **Affinity:** A (-10.0) is significantly stronger than B (-8.6). This is a substantial difference (>1.5 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While A has a much better binding affinity, its poor solubility, poor Caco-2 permeability, and *very* high DILI risk are major red flags. B has a lower affinity, but better solubility, lower DILI, and better Pgp efflux. The higher Cl_mic and shorter half-life of B are concerns, but potentially addressable through structural modifications.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its poor ADME properties, especially the high DILI risk and poor absorption, make it a less viable drug candidate. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, presents a more balanced profile with lower toxicity and better predicted absorption. Therefore, I would prioritize **Ligand B** for further optimization.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.6 and -7.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.6 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Ligand A's extremely high DILI risk and poor Caco-2 permeability are major red flags. While Ligand B also has poor solubility, this is a more manageable issue than a high DILI risk. The better metabolic stability and half-life of Ligand A are outweighed by the safety concerns.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.487 and 347.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.43) is better than Ligand B (75.44). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good absorption, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.559 and 2.858) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) is slightly higher than Ligand B (1), but both are acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) is lower than Ligand B (4), both are acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Ligand B (0.858) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.471), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.373) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (41.373), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand B (84.606) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (60.644). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.128 and -5.013), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.659 and -2.58), also concerning and suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.501 and 0.357), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.438) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.424), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.054 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-19.822 hours - negative value is unusual and likely an error, but we'll assume it means very long).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.307 and 0.282).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.6 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and QED score, and a potentially longer half-life. However, it has a higher DILI risk and a higher Caco-2 value (less negative). Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability. The poor solubility and permeability (negative Caco-2 and solubility values) are concerning for both, but the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. Given the importance of potency in enzyme inhibition, and the relatively minor impact of the other differences, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

While Ligand B has a better binding affinity and in vitro half-life, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI risk, and better solubility. The superior metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly weaker binding of Ligand A might be overcome with further optimization, while mitigating the poor permeability would be essential. The poor permeability of both is a concern, but the other advantages of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.406 and 348.531 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.99) is better than Ligand B (49.41), both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.222 and 3.89), within the 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially leading to some solubility concerns, but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.586 and 0.838), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 54.478, while Ligand B has 7.057. This is a significant difference; Ligand B has a much lower risk of liver injury.
**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 68.67, while Ligand B has 83.288. BBB is not a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.002 and -4.668). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these are relative scales and the absolute values are not directly comparable without knowing the scale's specifics.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.949 and -3.748), again suggesting poor solubility. Similar to Caco-2, the scale is important, but both are likely to have formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a hERG risk of 0.814, while Ligand B has 0.643. Both are relatively low, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 28.243, while Ligand B has 57.215. Ligand A has significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of -5.908, while Ligand B has -17.566. Again, these are relative scales, but both suggest short half-lives. Ligand B is considerably worse.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has a Pgp efflux liability of 0.366, while Ligand B has 0.085. Ligand B has much lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-9.4 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 1 kcal/mol advantage, which is significant.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability, while Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and P-gp efflux. The binding affinity difference is substantial, and for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. The metabolic stability of Ligand A is also a significant advantage. While Ligand B has a better safety profile regarding DILI, the potency and metabolic stability of Ligand A outweigh this concern, especially considering further optimization could potentially mitigate the DILI risk. The solubility and permeability issues are shared by both and would need to be addressed in subsequent optimization.

**DILI:** Ligand A (60.682) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (43.428). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less important for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (92.4) has higher BBB penetration than Ligand B (70.531).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.174 and 0.19). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (57.951) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.862), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-13.989) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-21.214), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.179 and 0.075).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol), a difference of 1.6 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, the higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability are significant drawbacks. Ligand B, while having slightly lower affinity, presents a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given the enzyme-specific priorities, and the fact that the affinity difference is not *massive*, the improved ADME properties of Ligand B make it the more promising drug candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4). However, the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol) and can be outweighed by other factors.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is superior to Ligand B across most critical ADME properties (TPSA, QED, solubility, metabolic stability, half-life) and has a comparable binding affinity. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is not enough to offset the significant advantages of Ligand A in terms of drug-likeness and pharmacokinetic properties. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and solubility of Ligand A are particularly important.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.407 and 351.491 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (125.21) is slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (78.51) is excellent, well below 140, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.436) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.838) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 5 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable and potentially better for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.426 and 0.7), with Ligand B being better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (44.746) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (14.424) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the assay or the compounds themselves. We'll proceed cautiously with this data.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests very poor solubility, a major concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.112 and 0.282), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.85 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance than Ligand B (17.558 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-15.186) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B (-9.81) also has a negative half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.058), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. Despite the unusual Caco-2 and solubility values, it has a significantly lower DILI risk, a more favorable logP, and a slightly better binding affinity. The lower metabolic clearance of Ligand A is appealing, but the negative half-life is a major red flag. The solubility issues for both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modification. However, considering the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand B's lower toxicity profile and better physicochemical properties make it the more promising starting point.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.073 and 0.165), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-27.38) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-11.521). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-28.472) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (6.182), which is generally desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.033).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol), a difference of 0.8 kcal/mol. While not a huge difference, it's a noticeable advantage.

1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (348.487) is slightly preferred due to being closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (60.85) is significantly better than B (92.5). A is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, while B is approaching it.
3. **logP:** A (2.177) is optimal. B (0.803) is a bit low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
4. **HBD:** Both are acceptable (A: 1, B: 2), within the recommended limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** Both are acceptable (A: 3, B: 5), within the recommended limit of 10.
6. **QED:** A (0.85) is better than B (0.733), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (10.43) is *much* better than B (20.861). A is well below the 40% threshold, while B is approaching a concerning level.
8. **BBB:** A (70.997) is good, while B (56.65) is moderate. While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally favorable.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.62) is better than B (-5.498). Higher values indicate better absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.968) is better than B (-3.062). Higher values indicate better solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low (A: 0.353, B: 0.116), indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** B (13.851) is significantly better than A (20.297), indicating better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** B (-14.148) is *much* better than A (-1.425), suggesting a significantly longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.133) is better than B (0.014). Lower values indicate less P-gp efflux.
15. **Affinity:** A (-8.8) is slightly better than B (-7.8), though both are good. A has a 1 kcal/mol advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** A has a slight edge.
* **Metabolic Stability:** B is significantly better (lower Cl_mic, much longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** A is better.
* **hERG:** Both are good.
* **DILI:** A is significantly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a substantial advantage in metabolic stability and half-life, the significantly better DILI profile, TPSA, solubility, and QED of Ligand A, coupled with a slightly better binding affinity, make it the more promising candidate. The improved ADME properties of A are crucial for *in vivo* efficacy and safety. The difference in half-life could potentially be addressed through further optimization, but mitigating DILI risk is more challenging.

This is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, as it directly impacts dosing frequency and potential patient compliance. Ligand B also has slightly better QED, DILI, and P-gp efflux scores. The poor Caco-2 and solubility scores are concerning for both, but the improved half-life of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate, assuming these solubility/permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B based on the provided guidelines, prioritizing enzyme-kinase specific properties (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.359 and 350.434 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (106.51) is better than Ligand B (67.43) as it is closer to the ideal threshold of 140.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (0.938 and 1.852), falling within the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand B is slightly better.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.719) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.519), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (16.557) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (76.89), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (80.69 and 83.443), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unexpected and problematic. However, the scale is not defined, so we can't interpret this definitively.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also problematic. Again, the scale is undefined.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.266 and 0.325). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (15.093) has a slightly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (12.514), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (14.946 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (26.468 hours). This is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.02 and 0.057).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.0 kcal/mol). This is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of 2.6 kcal/mol is substantial and likely outweighs minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a better QED and TPSA, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly improved binding affinity (-7.4 vs -10.0 kcal/mol) and lower DILI risk are decisive advantages for an oncology kinase inhibitor. The slightly better metabolic stability and longer half-life of Ligand B further solidify its position as the more promising drug candidate. The negative Caco-2 and Solubility values are concerning for both, but the binding affinity difference is likely to be the deciding factor in initial optimization.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0). A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most drug-like properties (QED, solubility, TPSA, DILI, affinity) and absorption (Caco-2). However, it has a higher Cl_mic and shorter half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), but suffers from a higher TPSA, significantly higher DILI risk, and weaker binding affinity.
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are crucial. While Ligand B's metabolic stability is better, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.3 vs -8.0 kcal/mol) and the concerning DILI risk of Ligand B outweigh this benefit. The stronger binding of Ligand A suggests it will be more effective at lower doses, potentially mitigating some of the metabolic concerns.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.342 Da and 352.519 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.66) is slightly higher than Ligand B (67.43), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.869 and 3.341, respectively), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 4 HBAs and Ligand B has 3. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.836) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.468), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (26.871) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (88.639). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (74.254 and 73.75). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.58 and 0.583).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (67.917) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (79.761), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.024) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.455). However, the negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely indicates a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.247 and 0.395).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.7 kcal/mol and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 1.1 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED score and slightly better binding affinity and half-life, but suffers from significantly higher DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability, but a lower QED score and a potentially problematic negative half-life value.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), and the substantial difference in DILI and Cl_mic, **Ligand B is the more promising candidate**. The binding affinity difference, while significant, is likely outweighed by the improved safety and metabolic stability profile of Ligand B. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values are drawbacks, but formulation strategies could potentially address these. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a red flag, but could be an artifact of the measurement or a rapidly reversible binding event.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, lower P-gp efflux) and hERG risk. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and a much shorter half-life. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI) and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker and its QED score is lower.
Given the priority for potency in enzyme inhibition, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is a crucial factor. While the DILI risk is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The shorter half-life is also a concern, but could also be addressed through medicinal chemistry. The weaker affinity of Ligand B makes it less likely to be a successful starting point, even with its better ADME properties.

**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.198 and 0.285).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.831) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.856), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.766 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-21.282 hours - this is a negative value and likely an error or outlier).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.011 and 0.038).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol), though the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a major drawback in its very low logP, which could severely limit its permeability. While it has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), the poor logP is a significant concern. Ligand B has a more favorable logP and a slightly better binding affinity. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the more favorable ADME profile of Ligand B, particularly the logP and metabolic stability, makes it the more promising candidate. The negative half-life for Ligand B is suspicious and would need further investigation, but even discounting that, the other factors favor Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (376.762 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (349.431 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.21) is significantly better than Ligand B (91.76). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.157) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (0.437) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is better than Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=5) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, acceptable QED values (Ligand A: 0.737, Ligand B: 0.675).
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.509) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (12.408). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the experimental setup or prediction method. However, we can still compare them relatively.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor predicted solubility (-4.608 and -1.263).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.606) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.06).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (34.79) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (71.483), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-7.429) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (6.394).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.507) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.015), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher logP, and poorer metabolic stability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability, and longer half-life, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker and its logP is too low.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, I would cautiously favor Ligand A, *provided* that the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The solubility issues of both compounds need to be addressed.

While Ligand A has a longer half-life and lower P-gp efflux, these advantages are overshadowed by its weak binding, higher DILI risk, and higher clearance. The solubility difference is also a concern for Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (335.363 and 343.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (81.06) is slightly higher than Ligand B (68.39), but both are well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.029) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (3.743) is pushing the upper limit, potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.724 and 0.641), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (90.694) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (67.429). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.85) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (65.607), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.04) shows poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a concern for oral absorption. Ligand B (-4.528) is better, but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.857) has very poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-5.007) is also poor, but slightly better than Ligand A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.282 and 0.477), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.76) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (94.346), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.512) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (0.426).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.421 and 0.429).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) - a difference of 1.8 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage that can potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.

**14. P-gp Efflux:**
* Ligand A: 0.387 - Low efflux, good.
* Ligand B: 0.031 - Very low efflux, excellent.
* *Ligand B is preferred.*
**15. Binding Affinity:**
* Ligand A: -8.5 kcal/mol - Excellent binding affinity.
* Ligand B: 0.0 kcal/mol - Very weak binding affinity.
* *Ligand A is overwhelmingly preferred.*
**Overall Assessment:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. Ligand A has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.5 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol for Ligand B). While Ligand B has better QED, lower DILI, hERG, and P-gp efflux, the extremely weak binding affinity of Ligand B makes it unlikely to be a viable drug candidate. Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are concerns, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The high clearance of Ligand A is also a concern, but the strong binding affinity might allow for a lower dose to compensate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (411.34 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.409 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential. Ligand A (53.01) is higher than Ligand B (45.23), but both are good.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 1 and 3, which is optimal. Ligand A (2.367) and Ligand B (3.278) are both within the desired range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (4 for A, 3 for B) counts, balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.827 and 0.923), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (54.789) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (11.361), which is a major advantage. A DILI percentile below 40 is preferred, and Ligand B is closer to that threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (85.498 and 89.957). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it doesn't hurt.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and negative values are common. We'll need to consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests very poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.825 and 0.817), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.183) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.669). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (78.301) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (35.235), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.604 and 0.466).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, it has a higher DILI risk and poorer solubility. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, **binding affinity is paramount**. The 2.2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is a significant advantage for Ligand A. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is higher, it's still below 20, and the solubility issues might be addressable with formulation strategies. The improved metabolic stability also contributes to a more favorable profile.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (94.48 and 96.89) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but not optimized for CNS penetration (which requires <90). This is acceptable for an oncology target where CNS penetration isn't necessarily required.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.11) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (0.743) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 3 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.617 and 0.53), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.218) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (18.573), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for an oncology target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and should be validated experimentally.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for *in vivo* bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.279 and 0.228), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.613 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.694 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.378 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (4.433 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.019 and 0.039), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small, and Ligand A already has excellent potency.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) and slightly better binding affinity, despite its lower logP and solubility. While both have poor solubility, the improved metabolic profile of Ligand A is more critical for an enzyme inhibitor, as it will lead to higher *in vivo* exposure. The lower logP of Ligand A is a drawback, but the strong binding affinity might compensate for it.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (347.419 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (373.465 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (100.09) is better than Ligand B (49.77) as it is still below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.259) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.429) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.798 and 0.797).
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.903) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (20.9), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (46.452) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (86.545). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but a higher value is generally preferable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.433) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.492) is also poor, but slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.018) has poor aqueous solubility, which could hinder formulation and bioavailability. Ligand B (-3.433) is also poor, but slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.084) has very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.711) has a slightly higher risk, but is still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-22.827) has very low microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability, which is a major advantage. Ligand B (47.509) has significantly higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-17.134) has a very long in vitro half-life, consistent with its low clearance. Ligand B (22.871) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.011) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.544) has slightly higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's excellent metabolic stability and low hERG risk, its very poor logP, Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and especially its *extremely* weak binding affinity make it a poor candidate. Ligand B, while having moderate metabolic clearance and slightly higher hERG risk, has a much better logP, and a *significantly* stronger binding affinity. The strong binding affinity of Ligand B is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and it outweighs the moderate ADME concerns.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (371.487 Da and 358.36 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.11) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (58.64) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.117) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (3.223) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBAs, acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBAs, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.661) and Ligand B (0.84) both have good drug-likeness scores, exceeding the 0.5 threshold.
**DILI:** Ligand A (88.212) has a concerningly high DILI risk (above 60). Ligand B (51.377) is better, but still warrants attention.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (46.646) and Ligand B (94.61) are less relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. This is unusual and needs further investigation, but we'll proceed assuming these are percentile scores and lower is worse. Ligand B (-4.54) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.001).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor solubility (-4.631 and -3.822 respectively). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.551) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.74). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (75.952) has higher clearance than Ligand B (51.726), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.357) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-0.649). A negative half-life is unusual and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.365) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.128), which is less desirable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-5.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is significantly better. While both have solubility issues and poor Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B's substantially stronger binding affinity (-5.9 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks. Its lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), and lower hERG risk further solidify its superiority. Ligand A's high DILI risk and very weak binding affinity make it a less attractive candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.686) is good, indicating drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.448) is lower, suggesting a less ideal drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (18.922) has a very low DILI risk. Ligand B (86.623) has a significantly higher DILI risk, which is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (64.948) and Ligand B (35.324) are both not particularly high, which is not a major drawback here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.387) and Ligand B (-4.971) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, this is a scale-dependent value and needs to be interpreted cautiously.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.091 and -5.417 respectively). This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.269) has a very low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.862) has a higher, but still moderate, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.344) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (76.667) has higher clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.28 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (158.95 hours) has a very long half-life, which is generally favorable, but could also indicate slow metabolism or poor absorption.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.172 and 0.859 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.6 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other significant ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have poor solubility, Ligand A has a much lower DILI risk, better QED, and lower logP. The slightly longer half-life of Ligand B is offset by its higher logP, higher DILI risk, and higher microsomal clearance. The binding affinity difference is not significant enough to favor Ligand B.

Ligand A is superior due to its lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and higher QED. While Ligand B has a slightly better logP and marginally better binding affinity, the ADME properties of Ligand A are more favorable, particularly the reduced risk of liver injury and improved metabolic stability. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety are crucial.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.209 and -3.357), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.338) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.821), which is preferable. Both are relatively low, but A is better.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (96.389) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (58.417), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (40.524) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (4.163), indicating better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.115) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.871), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both ligands have excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Despite slightly higher TPSA and P-gp efflux, it exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a lower DILI risk, and a slightly better hERG profile.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.772 and -4.956). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible and don't necessarily disqualify the compounds.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.079 and -2.064). Similar to Caco-2, this is possible on the scale and doesn't immediately disqualify them.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.123) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.427), which is favorable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-18.35) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (83.909), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.

Ligand B, despite a slightly weaker binding affinity, presents a much more favorable ADMET profile, particularly its low DILI risk and improved metabolic stability. For an oncology kinase inhibitor, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity are paramount. The 1.9 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, whereas mitigating the DILI risk of Ligand A would be far more challenging.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (341.375 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (380.411 Da) is also well within range.
**TPSA:** Ligand B (72.11) is significantly better than Ligand A (101.7). Lower TPSA generally improves oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand B (3.433) is optimal, while Ligand A (0.192) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.733 and 0.702), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (39.201) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (70.105). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (93.912) has a high BBB percentile, while Ligand A (53.974) is moderate. While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of reduced off-target effects.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.349) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.621) is slightly better, but still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.706) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-4.806) is even worse. This could pose formulation challenges for both, but is more concerning for Ligand B.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.292) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.783). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.69) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.292). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, a key priority for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.929) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (15.006). Longer half-life is generally preferred.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.082) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.249), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is the most crucial factor. A difference of almost 8 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has better physicochemical properties regarding TPSA, logP, and DILI. However, its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, and its metabolic stability is concerning due to high Cl_mic. Most importantly, its binding affinity is dramatically weaker than Ligand A.
Ligand A, despite its lower logP and solubility, boasts a much stronger binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol). For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. The superior binding affinity of Ligand A is likely to outweigh its ADME drawbacks, especially if formulation strategies can address the solubility issue. The lower clearance is also a positive.

**DILI:** Ligand A (45.68) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.50), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (54.05) shows slightly better penetration potential than Ligand A (49.83).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and likely indicates poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.144) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.56), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-17.16) has a *much* better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.42). This suggests significantly better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (59.07) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (23.01), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.221), which is favorable.

**DILI:** Ligand A (29.701) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (25.165), both are good.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (71.966 and 65.801), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with intestinal absorption. This is a red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.85) has very poor solubility, while Ligand B (0.19) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.599) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.321), but both are relatively low.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.271 and 0.02), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better TPSA and slightly lower DILI, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 vs 0 kcal/mol) outweighs the concerns about its slightly higher TPSA and lower solubility. The exceptionally low microsomal clearance and high in vitro half-life of Ligand B are also very attractive features for an enzyme inhibitor. The negative Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the potency advantage of B is significant.

Here's a breakdown, comparing each property and considering the enzyme-specific priorities (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG):
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (386.9) is slightly higher than B (369.5).
2. **TPSA:** Both are acceptable, but A (66.92) is higher than B (56.99). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
3. **logP:** A (2.37) is optimal, while B (4.265) is pushing the upper limit. High logP can lead to off-target effects and solubility issues.
4. **HBD:** Both have 0 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** Both have 4 HBA, which is good.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.796, B: 0.721), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (60.954) is borderline high risk, while B (32.842) is good. This is a significant advantage for B.
8. **BBB:** A (63.746) is moderate, while B (89.608) is very good. While SRC isn't a CNS target, better BBB penetration can sometimes correlate with better overall distribution.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are very poor (-4.411 and -4.376). This is a major concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both are very poor (-3.963 and -4.809). This is a major concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Both are low risk (A: 0.401, B: 0.678).

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and a lower Pgp efflux liability. However, it has a higher DILI risk and a higher TPSA. Ligand B has a better DILI profile and BBB penetration, but suffers from a weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given that we are targeting an enzyme (SRC kinase), potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. The 2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is a large advantage for A. While the DILI risk for A is a concern, it's not catastrophic at 60.954 and could be addressed through further structural modifications. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but these can be addressed with formulation strategies.
Therefore, I would prioritize **Ligand A** for further development.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.338) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-11.615) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely an error in the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.007 and 0.229).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (-9.8 and -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is not huge.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, the negative values for microsomal clearance and half-life are major red flags, indicating data errors or fundamentally problematic metabolism. The higher DILI risk is also concerning. Ligand B, while having a higher clearance, has a much lower DILI risk and more reasonable (though still problematic) values for solubility and permeability. Given the errors in Ligand A's data, and prioritizing metabolic stability and safety for an enzyme target, Ligand B is the more viable candidate, *assuming the negative values are data errors and can be corrected*.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.415 and 338.411 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.71) is better than Ligand B (72.09), both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.004) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.627) is pushing the upper limit and could potentially lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (2), as lower HBD generally improves permeability. Both are within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, which is well within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.673 and 0.728, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (42.032) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (73.517). This is a crucial advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (82.823 and 82.358), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.577 and -4.834). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but could be an artifact of the prediction method.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.577) is better than Ligand B (-5.566), indicating better solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.571 and 0.427), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.15 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (64.043 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.599 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (120.517 hours). This is a drawback for Ligand A, but the significant difference in clearance suggests Ligand B might be more susceptible to other metabolic liabilities.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.106 and 0.217).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh the other ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While Ligand B has a longer half-life, Ligand A demonstrates superior properties in key areas for an enzyme inhibitor: lower DILI risk, better solubility, and significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly lower half-life of Ligand A is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through structural modifications without significantly impacting the other favorable properties. The higher logP of Ligand B is a potential drawback.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.01) is slightly higher than Ligand B (84.5). Both are below the 140 threshold for good absorption, but closer to the 90 threshold for CNS targets (not relevant here).
**logP:** Ligand A (3.588) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (1.775) is closer to the lower end. Ligand A's higher logP *could* lead to solubility issues, but isn't drastically high.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.76 and 0.686), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (79.294%) compared to Ligand B (28.965%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (61.38%) and Ligand B (56.65%) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and potentially problematic. However, the scale is not specified, so it is hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.182 and -3.175). This is a significant drawback for both, but potentially more manageable if potency is high.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.225 and 0.139), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.517 mL/min/kg) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (75.348 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (64.375 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-14.47 hours). The negative value for B is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.116 and 0.115).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the solubility issues, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.0 vs -6.5 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. It also has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and a lower hERG risk. The biggest drawback is the higher DILI risk, but this could potentially be mitigated through structural modifications. Ligand B's extremely short half-life is a dealbreaker, and its lower affinity makes it less attractive.

**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.51 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (21.526 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.178 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (16.828 hours). While a longer half-life is generally preferred, the difference is less critical than metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.064) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.147) has slightly higher efflux.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from a significantly higher DILI risk, moderate hERG risk, and higher microsomal clearance.

8. **BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (A: 71.772, B: 70.803), though not exceptionally high. Not a major factor here as SRC isn't a CNS target.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for both.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B excels in affinity and metabolic stability. While both have issues with solubility and Caco-2, the significantly improved binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand B are more critical for a kinase inhibitor. The longer half-life of A is good, but the negative half-life of B is a red flag. However, the large difference in binding affinity is a strong driver.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability predictions for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability of **Ligand B** make it the more promising drug candidate. The DILI risk is also lower for Ligand B.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (28.168 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (1.809 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.011 and 0.092), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is significant, but needs to be weighed against other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and slightly better solubility. However, it suffers from significantly worse Caco-2 permeability and a much shorter half-life. Ligand B has better permeability, a longer half-life, and a slightly better QED score. The difference in binding affinity (0.6 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to overcome the significant ADME liabilities of Ligand A. Given the importance of metabolic stability and reasonable permeability for kinase inhibitors, Ligand B appears to be the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.443 and 341.419 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.87) is better than Ligand B (70.51) as it is closer to the threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand B (0.82) is slightly better than Ligand A (0.493), being closer to the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand A is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (0) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is good, while Ligand B (8) is acceptable but closer to the upper limit.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.813) has a higher QED score than Ligand A (0.574), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (9.616) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (84.102). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand B (70.841) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (43.156). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.74 and -4.805), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.27 and -2.193), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.313) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.578), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.783) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.032), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.442) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (2.187), but the difference is small.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.077) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.027), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.4 vs 0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly less favorable logP and BBB. Furthermore, Ligand A has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and hERG inhibition liability. The higher QED of Ligand B is not enough to overcome the massive difference in binding affinity and the safety concerns.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.549) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.937) is also poor but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.232) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-1.668) is also poor but better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.033) has a very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.348) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-24.739) has a very low (good) microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B (44.115) has a significantly higher clearance, suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a much lower hERG risk. However, it suffers from poor solubility and permeability, and a high DILI risk. Ligand B has better solubility, permeability, and a much lower DILI risk, but its metabolic stability is a concern.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. The significantly higher DILI risk for Ligand A is a major drawback. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and metabolic stability, the DILI risk is too high to ignore.

14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.205) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.114). Lower is better, so A is slightly preferable.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and lower DILI and hERG risk. It also has a longer half-life and slightly better solubility and permeability. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a better QED score. However, the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A, coupled with the lower toxicity liabilities, outweighs the metabolic benefit of Ligand B. The poor Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.2 kcal/mol), which is a primary consideration for enzyme inhibitors. It also exhibits excellent metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and a good half-life. While its logP is low and Caco-2 permeability is poor, the strong binding affinity might compensate for these issues. The hERG risk is also exceptionally low.
Ligand B has better TPSA and logP values, but suffers from high metabolic clearance, a short half-life, and moderate hERG risk. Its binding affinity is also weaker.
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), **Ligand A is the more promising candidate** despite its permeability and solubility concerns. The superior binding affinity and excellent metabolic stability outweigh the drawbacks, and formulation strategies could potentially address the solubility and permeability issues.

**DILI:** Ligand A (41.877) is better than Ligand B (57.387), both are acceptable, but A has lower risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (92.943) is higher, but it doesn't significantly impact the decision. Ligand A (61.38) is lower.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.433) is very poor, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.41) is also poor, but better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.882) is poor. Ligand B (-3.303) is also poor. Both are concerning.
**hERG:** Both ligands (0.455 and 0.44) show low hERG inhibition liability, which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.783) is much better (lower clearance) than Ligand B (94.46), indicating significantly higher metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.696) is very poor. Ligand B (-2.959) is also poor, but better than A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands (0.047 and 0.096) have low P-gp efflux, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.1 vs -8.8 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, the superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and half-life outweigh these drawbacks. Ligand A has better DILI risk and lower Cl_mic, but the very poor Caco-2 and half-life are major concerns. The affinity difference is substantial enough to favor Ligand B despite the ADME liabilities.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (36.44) is significantly better than Ligand B (65.79). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.47 & 2.20), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 4 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.692 & 0.855), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (24.04 & 21.09), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (92.01) has a much higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (63.94). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it isn't a detriment.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.361) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.541), which is preferable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-9.851) has a much lower (better) Cl_mic than Ligand B (39.894), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (0.375) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (41.902). This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability are crucial. Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.2 kcal/mol). While Ligand A has better DILI and Cl_mic profiles, the difference in binding affinity is substantial. The poorer metabolic stability of Ligand B could potentially be addressed through structural modifications, but improving the affinity of Ligand A to reach -8.7 kcal/mol might be more challenging. The solubility and permeability issues are shared by both, and would need to be addressed in either case.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (349.347) is slightly preferred.
2. **TPSA:** A (126.13) is higher than ideal for oral absorption (<140), but still acceptable. B (45.23) is excellent.

4. **HBD:** A (2) and B (1) are both good, within the acceptable limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (7) and B (4) are both good, within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.69) and B (0.847) are good, indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** A (60.915) is approaching a concerning level. B (16.208) is excellent, indicating low liver injury risk.
8. **BBB:** A (45.909) is low, while B (79.566) is good. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but a bonus for B.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.045) is very low risk. B (0.57) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-12.06) is excellent (low clearance, good metabolic stability). B (69.397) is high, indicating rapid metabolism.
13. **t1/2:** A (33.161) is good. B (9.326) is relatively short, which could necessitate more frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.017) is very low efflux, while B (0.219) is also low.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-6.4) is significantly stronger than A (-0.0). This is a crucial difference for an enzyme target.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Decision:**
Despite Ligand B's better logP, TPSA, QED, and lower DILI risk, the *massive* difference in binding affinity (-6.4 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) of Ligand A are decisive. A binding advantage of this magnitude can often overcome minor ADME drawbacks. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of ligand A are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The slightly elevated DILI risk is also manageable. The weak binding of ligand B makes it unlikely to be effective *in vivo*, regardless of its other properties.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.724) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.167). This favors Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.769) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.454), indicating lower metabolic stability. This favors Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (83.968) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (44.889), which is a substantial advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.452) has higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.089), meaning less bioavailability. This favors Ligand B.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as potency is a primary concern for enzyme inhibitors. The 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's lower DILI risk, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.6 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher DILI and lower solubility. Furthermore, Ligand B demonstrates better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk. These factors are all critical for a viable enzyme inhibitor drug candidate.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (10.702) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (56.301). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Both are around 50%, indicating limited brain penetration.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.951) and Ligand B (-5.505) are both negative, which is unusual. Lower values suggest poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.481) and Ligand B (-2.587) are both negative, suggesting poor solubility. This is a concern, but can be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.123 and 0.191).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.29) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.871), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (25.213) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (14.63), which is preferable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.019 and 0.058).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.2) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a significantly lower DILI risk, and a better TPSA. However, it has higher microsomal clearance and a shorter half-life, and slightly worse solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and half-life, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a higher DILI risk.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is the most important factor. The lower DILI risk is also a significant benefit. While the metabolic stability is a concern, it can potentially be addressed through structural modifications during lead optimization. The solubility issue is also manageable. The substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (54.827) is higher than Ligand A (34.393), but not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.422) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.773).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-1.636) is better than Ligand B (-3.853).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.066) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.33) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.721) indicates very low clearance and therefore good metabolic stability. Ligand B (48.127) suggests faster clearance and lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (64.155) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-14.613), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both are very low (A: 0.008, B: 0.601), suggesting minimal efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (1.9 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its high DILI risk and poorer metabolic stability (higher clearance, shorter half-life) are significant drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.555 and 367.833 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is significantly better than Ligand B (112.73). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B is pushing the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.729) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.826) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 4 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.728 and 0.631), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (19.542) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (24.583), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (88.406) is better than Ligand B (73.401). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.965) is better than Ligand B (-5.399). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.587) is better than Ligand B (-2.624). Both are poor, but A is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.735) is much better than Ligand B (0.222), indicating a lower risk of cardiotoxicity. This is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (80.332) has a higher (worse) clearance than Ligand B (-0.377). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.116) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (19.375). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.299) is better than Ligand B (0.024) indicating less efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, it suffers from a higher TPSA, lower logP, higher DILI risk, and a higher risk of hERG inhibition. Ligand A has better ADME properties overall, particularly regarding safety (DILI, hERG) and permeability.
The difference in binding affinity (2.2 kcal/mol) is substantial. For an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While Ligand A has better ADME properties, the significantly stronger binding of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful, especially in early stages of development where optimization can address the ADME issues.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (373.387 and 350.507 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range. No significant difference here.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (135.92) is slightly above the preferred <140 for oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (50.6) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.278 and 2.294), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.45 and 0.722), indicating reasonable drug-likeness. Ligand B is better here.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 83.443, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 11.322, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (70.415 and 83.482), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.8 and -4.381), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential issue for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.549 and -1.797). This is a significant drawback for both compounds and will likely require formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.438 and 0.507), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a moderate microsomal clearance (61.675), while Ligand B has a higher clearance (74.642). Lower is better for metabolic stability, so Ligand A is slightly favored here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life (30.486 hours) than Ligand B (13.498 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.157 and 0.343), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a higher DILI risk and poorer solubility, its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are major advantages. The higher DILI risk is concerning, but could potentially be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The solubility issue is also addressable with formulation. Ligand B's lower DILI is good, but its weaker binding affinity makes it less likely to be a successful drug candidate.

Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability, but suffers from a very high DILI risk and a negative in vitro half-life. Ligand B has a better safety profile (low DILI), better QED, and better BBB penetration, but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are crucial. The substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A is compelling. However, the extremely high DILI risk is a major concern. While optimization could potentially mitigate the DILI risk, it's a significant hurdle. Ligand B, while less potent, presents a much cleaner starting point from a safety perspective.
Considering the balance, and the possibility of optimizing Ligand A to address the DILI risk, I would initially favor Ligand A due to its superior binding affinity.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (2 HBD, 7 HBA) is also acceptable, though slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.671 and 0.694), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (29.55) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.87). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (83.44) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (42.54).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.26) is very poor, while Ligand B (-5.40) is also poor. This is a concern for both, but slightly worse for A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.722) is poor, while Ligand B (-1.83) is also poor. Both are problematic, but B is better.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.175 and 0.013).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (52.16) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-20.13). This means Ligand B is likely to have better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.88 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (18.18 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.034 and 0.02).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is significant, but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and better logP. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, and higher metabolic clearance. Ligand B has better solubility, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a slightly better binding affinity. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerning, but the superior binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand B, combined with the lower DILI risk, make it the more promising candidate. While the solubility and permeability need to be addressed through further optimization, the stronger binding and improved PK profile of Ligand B give it a higher likelihood of success.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (369.53 and 353.39 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.47) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, while Ligand B (93.46) is still acceptable but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.57) is at the upper end of the optimal 1-3 range, while Ligand B (1.74) is towards the lower end. While both are within range, a slightly higher logP can sometimes be beneficial for kinase inhibitors.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) both have acceptable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors.
**QED:** Both ligands have identical QED scores of 0.76, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (67.39 and 65.92 percentile), placing them in a moderate risk category, but not alarming.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration (62.85 and 74.91 percentile), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.68 and -4.95), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.19 and -1.86), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.513) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.149). Lower is better here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (31.25 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (39.28 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.11 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the compound's stability. Ligand A has a half-life of 66.22 hours, which is very good.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.328) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.053), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.2 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.2 vs -8.4 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are compelling advantages. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag and suggests the data is unreliable or the compound is unstable. However, assuming the half-life is an error, the binding affinity difference is substantial enough to favor Ligand B. Ligand A has a better hERG profile and half-life, but the binding affinity is not strong enough to overcome the other issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (347.459 Da) is slightly lower, which could be favorable for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (53.09) is significantly better than Ligand B (75.44). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both meet this, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.426) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.04) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.692, B: 0.786), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (54.323) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (13.959), which is a positive.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (73.943) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (57.154), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-4.568 and -4.866), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-1.56 and -4.791), indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is worse in this regard.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.254) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.184), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (12.275) has a much lower Cl_mic than Ligand B (36.747), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.088) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-7.302). A negative value for half-life is unusual and may indicate rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.018, B: 0.277).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, it's still a positive.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG, better metabolic stability), but suffers from poor logP and solubility. Ligand B has better logP, but has higher DILI, hERG, and Cl_mic. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the better metabolic stability and lower hERG risk of Ligand A are more important than the slightly better binding affinity and logP of Ligand B. The solubility issues of both are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.575 and -4.829). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.424 and -4.944). This is also a major concern, indicating very poor aqueous solubility, which will hinder bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.69 and 0.517), which is positive.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.055) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (71.172), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (82.6) has a slightly lower in vitro half-life than Ligand B (84.795), but both are reasonably good.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's enough to consider, especially given the other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Both ligands have significant issues with Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility. However, Ligand A is preferable due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), slightly better binding affinity, and slightly better QED. The DILI risk is comparable. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications, but starting with the more metabolically stable and potent compound (Ligand A) is the better approach.

While it has a slightly higher DILI risk and faster clearance than Ligand A, the potency difference is large enough to outweigh these concerns, especially given the acceptable DILI score. The poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are drawbacks for both, but can be addressed during formulation.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.5 and 358.3 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is significantly better than Ligand B (113.33). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B is pushing the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.372) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.244) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 2 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.71) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.432), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (17.642) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (50.33), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonably high BBB penetration (A: 88.484, B: 83.288), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.495 and -4.881), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading without context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.521 and -2.947), again unusual. This indicates very poor aqueous solubility, which is a major concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.567) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.3), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (93.754) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.409), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-1.385) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand A (11.052) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.511) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.048), which is beneficial.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from very low logP, poor solubility, and a concerning DILI risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties (logP, TPSA, DILI, P-gp efflux, hERG) and a reasonable half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker and it has higher microsomal clearance.
Given the substantial affinity difference, and acknowledging that solubility and permeability issues *can* sometimes be addressed through formulation, I would cautiously favor Ligand B. The stronger binding is likely to be more impactful than the ADME liabilities, especially if initial studies confirm the affinity *in vivo*. However, significant medicinal chemistry effort would be required to improve Ligand B's solubility and reduce its DILI risk.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.833 and 352.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (77.83 and 70.08) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have a logP of approximately 1.4, which is optimal (1-3).
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, well within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 4 HBA, both are below the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.858 and 0.831), indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 54.827, while Ligand B has a significantly lower risk of 9.616. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (68.282 and 54.478). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a primary concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.71 and -4.508). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability, but the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.831 and -0.965). Again, the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.482 and 0.385).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a significantly higher (less favorable) microsomal clearance (-16.015 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (14.374 mL/min/kg). This suggests Ligand A will be metabolized more quickly.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a longer in vitro half-life (10.521 hours) than Ligand A (17.934 hours). This is a positive for Ligand B.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.019 and 0.118).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is significant, and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both ligands have acceptable properties for MW, logP, HBD, HBA, QED, hERG, and P-gp efflux, Ligand B has a substantially lower DILI risk, a longer half-life, and a better binding affinity. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the difference in DILI and binding affinity is more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) of Ligand B is also a significant advantage.

Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI, and better hERG inhibition and P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is weaker. Both compounds have very poor solubility and permeability.
The superior binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. While the ADME properties of Ligand B are less favorable, the potency difference is substantial enough to prioritize it for further optimization. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues would be critical, but the strong binding provides a good starting point.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.282) and Ligand B (-2.975) both have poor predicted solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.07) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.097) is also low, but slightly higher.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.563) suggests good metabolic stability (negative value). Ligand B (98.404) indicates very high clearance and poor metabolic stability. This is a major drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.254) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-13.979) suggests a very short half-life, which is undesirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.066).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a 1.0 kcal/mol stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the highest priority for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its major drawbacks are its very high microsomal clearance and short half-life, which would likely necessitate very frequent dosing or poor *in vivo* exposure. Ligand A has a lower affinity, but its better metabolic stability (lower clearance, longer half-life), lower DILI risk, and very low hERG risk make it a more promising starting point for optimization. The low logP and solubility of Ligand A are concerning, but potentially addressable through chemical modifications.

For an enzyme target in oncology, metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While the affinity of Ligand A is attractive, the poor ADME profile and high DILI risk are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite slightly weaker binding, presents a more balanced and potentially developable profile. The 0.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, while addressing the severe ADME issues of Ligand A would be much more challenging.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.691 and 0.673), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (87.786) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (93.059), which is concerning. Both are relatively high, but B is worse.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (67.352) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (46.413).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined and could be a percentile, where negative values are possible.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. While it has a higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability than Ligand A, the potency difference is significant. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning and need further investigation, but the binding affinity advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful in initial optimization. The half-life for Ligand A is also suspect.

**BBB:** Ligand A (68.282) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (74.835). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the prediction method or the molecules themselves. It's difficult to draw conclusions from this data point.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and problematic. Again, difficult to interpret.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.488) shows a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.59), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-25.846) has a *much* lower (better) Cl_mic than Ligand B (28.907). This suggests significantly improved metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand B (39.951) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (13.614). This is a positive for Ligand B, but the difference might be offset by its higher Cl_mic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.051 and 0.29), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and lower DILI risk) and a slightly better hERG profile. The solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the affinity difference is substantial. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the relatively minor impact of the other differences, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.09) is significantly better than Ligand B (106.94). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.679) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.622) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.805 and 0.532), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.611) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (14.114), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.221) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (19.232), though BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.868) has better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.134). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but A is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.262) has better solubility than Ligand B (-0.475). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.557 and 0.1), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.33 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (1.226 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.87 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand B (-4.668 hours) is also negative, which is not possible.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.168 and 0.029).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-9.4 and -8.8 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a better solubility and a lower DILI risk, the significantly lower metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic) and the impossible half-life value are major concerns. Ligand B, while having a slightly lower logP and higher DILI, exhibits much better metabolic stability and a more plausible half-life (even if still low). The binding affinities are comparable. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.749, B: 0.632), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (70.725) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (11.439). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (A: 65.374, B: 69.833). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unknown, but it suggests potential formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.314) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.976). This is a positive attribute for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (53.485) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (78.922), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (53.003) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (46.974).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.149) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.836), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and significantly lower DILI risk. However, it suffers from a high logP, which could cause solubility and off-target issues, and higher P-gp efflux and microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better TPSA, logP, metabolic stability, and P-gp efflux, but a higher DILI risk.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, the improved metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux of Ligand A are more compelling. The DILI risk is a concern, but could potentially be mitigated through structural modifications. The high logP of Ligand B is a more fundamental issue.

Given the strong affinity of Ligand A, and the fact that solubility/permeability can sometimes be improved through formulation or prodrug strategies, I would prioritize Ligand A. The difference in binding affinity is significant enough to warrant further investigation despite the ADME liabilities.

**DILI:** Ligand B (30.865) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (46.336). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (89.957) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (50.795), but BBB isn't a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS activity is desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.353) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.748), suggesting lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.717) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.093). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.28 and 0.31), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (32.765) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (-1.74). This means Ligand A is more metabolically stable, which is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.041) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-6.013). This is another significant advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.3 kcal/mol). This 2.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, a better logP, and a lower TPSA. However, Ligand A has a significantly better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life), lower hERG risk, and slightly better DILI. Both have poor Caco-2 and solubility. The affinity difference is substantial, and for an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While the ADME properties of Ligand A are better, the difference in potency is likely to outweigh those advantages, *assuming* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.5 and 363.4 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (35.58) is significantly better than Ligand B (105.9), being well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B is higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.582) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.558) is quite low. Low logP can hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBA, while Ligand B has 8. Ligand B is higher, potentially impacting permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, good QED values (0.892 and 0.851).
**DILI:** Ligand A (11.2) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (66.3), indicating a safer profile.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.0) is higher than Ligand B (46.5).
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.577) is better than Ligand B (-5.581), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.558) is better than Ligand B (-2.037), indicating better aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.77 and 0.095).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.225) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (14.462), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.77) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (0.543), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.102 and 0.042).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0). This is a crucial factor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other issues.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity. However, it suffers from a high TPSA, low logP, high DILI risk, and poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, low t1/2). Ligand A, while having a weak binding affinity, exhibits a much more favorable ADME-Tox profile: better TPSA, logP, DILI, solubility, metabolic stability, and half-life.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and a reasonable ADME profile are crucial. While the affinity difference is significant, the poor ADME properties of Ligand B are likely to lead to rapid clearance and potential toxicity issues *in vivo*. It's possible to optimize Ligand A's affinity through further medicinal chemistry efforts, while the ADME profile provides a solid starting point.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.23 and 0.432).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (-9.1 and -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly more potent. The difference of 1 kcal/mol is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED score, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and better BBB penetration. Both have poor solubility and permeability. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the superior potency and metabolic stability of Ligand A outweigh the DILI risk, especially considering the strong binding affinity. The solubility and permeability issues are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.447 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (408.888 Da) is still well within the acceptable range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140 (A: 88.91, B: 84.5), suggesting good oral absorption potential.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.969) is at the lower end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (3.22) is well within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are acceptable and balance solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (A: 0.687, B: 0.613), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.758) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (46.724), which is favorable. Both are below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand B (68.748) is higher than Ligand A (54.595). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values are relative. The absolute value of A (-5.438) is more negative than B (-5.03), indicating potentially worse permeability for A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.587) has better solubility than Ligand B (-3.785), which is a significant advantage for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.015) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.517). This is a critical advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.734) has lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.834), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.993 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (21.165 hours), but both are reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.019) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.099), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is notable, but not overwhelmingly large.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its significantly lower hERG risk, better solubility, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity and BBB penetration, the ADME/Tox profile of Ligand A is substantially more favorable, particularly the low hERG risk. The slight difference in binding affinity can potentially be optimized in later stages of drug development. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of A outweigh this concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.463 and 347.459 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (85.25) is better than Ligand B (93.43). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the ideal for kinases.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.285 and 1.893), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 4. Both are below the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.634 and 0.688), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (52.966) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (8.375). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (68.399 and 70.143), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.075 and -4.914). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, kinases are often systemically administered, so this is less critical than for oral drugs.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.963 and -2.225). This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.34 and 0.284), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-10.182) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (32.365). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-14.6) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (6.155). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.065 and 0.02).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4). However, the difference is only 0.3 kcal/mol, which may not be enough to overcome other ADME deficiencies.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly in terms of DILI risk, microsomal clearance, and in vitro half-life. These factors are crucial for kinase inhibitors, as metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity are paramount. The solubility issues for both are a concern, but potentially addressable. The slightly better affinity of Ligand A is unlikely to outweigh the superior ADME profile of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (363.479 and 348.403 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (68.65) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (94.48) is still within acceptable limits for oral absorption (<140), but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.565) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.218) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 6 HBA, both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.574 and 0.735), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (49.399) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.464), both are acceptable but A is preferred.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (51.725) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (29.12), but this is not a major factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.792) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, indicating poor absorption. Ligand B (-5.113) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.533) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-1.879) has better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.541) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.06) also has a very low hERG risk, equally good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (96.574) has high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (21.74) has much lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.382 hours) has a short half-life. Ligand B (12.52 hours) has a significantly longer half-life, which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.65) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.068) has very low P-gp efflux, which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, poor solubility, high metabolic clearance, short half-life, and moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B, while having slightly weaker affinity, exhibits significantly better ADME properties: better solubility, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and solubility are crucial. The superior ADME profile of Ligand B outweighs the slightly weaker binding affinity.

**BBB:** Ligand A (80.031) shows better BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (57.619), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.994 and -4.8), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.15 and -2.514), which is also unusual and suggests very poor solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.59) has a slightly higher risk of hERG inhibition than Ligand B (0.301), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.409 mL/min/kg) has higher clearance than Ligand B (15.307 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.126, Ligand B: 0.119).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and a reasonable half-life, but suffers from higher clearance and a potentially problematic logP. Ligand B has better TPSA, lower logP, and lower clearance, but has a very poor half-life and weaker binding affinity. The poor solubility and permeability for both are concerning, but the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate, assuming solubility/permeability can be addressed through formulation or structural modification. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to prioritize Ligand A despite its other issues.

**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI risk and slightly poorer solubility, its *significantly* superior binding affinity (-9.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The potency advantage is so large that it likely overcomes the other drawbacks. Ligand B has better ADME properties (clearance, half-life, DILI), but the lack of binding affinity makes it a non-starter.

Ligand B has better solubility and permeability, but suffers from poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic) and a shorter half-life.
Given the enzyme class (kinase), potency and metabolic stability are prioritized. The 1.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and could outweigh the solubility/permeability issues of Ligand A, *provided* formulation strategies can be employed to address those issues. The poor metabolic stability of Ligand B is a more difficult problem to overcome.

2025-04-17 12:53:58,757 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [356.495, 48.47, 3.97, 1, 4, 0.886, 72.392, 70.57, -4.647, -4.026, 0.591, 52.681, 43.413, 0.353, -8.5]

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (356.5) is slightly better.
2. **TPSA:** A (48.47) is excellent, well below 140. B (83.55) is still acceptable, but less ideal.
3. **logP:** A (3.97) is optimal. B (1.989) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability.
4. **HBD:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** Both have 4 HBA, which is good.
6. **QED:** A (0.886) is very good. B (0.704) is still decent, but lower.
7. **DILI:** A (72.392) is concerning, indicating a higher risk of liver injury. B (27.142) is excellent, very low risk.
8. **BBB:** A (70.57) is good. B (68.941) is acceptable, but not as high. BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but it's a bonus.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.647) is very poor, suggesting very low intestinal absorption. B (-5.037) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-4.026) is poor. B (-2.69) is better, but still not great.
11. **hERG:** A (0.591) is acceptable. B (0.34) is even better, lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (52.681) is moderate. B (16.49) is much better, indicating higher metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (43.413) is moderate. B (4.65) is very short, which is a significant drawback.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.353) is good, indicating low efflux. B (0.133) is even better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.5) is significantly better than B (-7). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its poor Caco-2 permeability, poor solubility, and concerning DILI risk are major drawbacks. Ligand B has a significantly better safety profile (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic). While its half-life is very short, and its affinity is lower, the improved ADME properties are crucial for a viable drug candidate. The affinity difference, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B. The poor permeability and solubility of A are harder to fix without drastically altering the core structure and potentially losing affinity.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand B** as the more promising candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (42.536) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (66.731), which is moderately elevated.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (89.996) is higher than Ligand B (24.932).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.754) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.257) is also poor. Both are unfavorable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.7 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's lower logP and higher DILI, its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.4 vs -7.7 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, higher t1/2) make it the more promising candidate. The strong binding is likely to be more impactful for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. While the low logP is a concern, it might be addressed through formulation strategies. The hERG risk is also a concern for Ligand B, but is not as high as the metabolic instability of Ligand A.

The stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is a significant factor, and while its DILI and Cl_mic are not ideal, they might be acceptable given the potency. The poor solubility and permeability of Ligand A are concerning.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (371.834 and 348.451 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (21.06) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (85.17) is higher but still acceptable, though potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.739) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (0.547) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (1 HBD, 7 HBA) is also acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly reduce permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.774 and 0.724), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, low DILI risk (25.165 and 25.553 percentile).
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (90.151 and 84.257 percentile), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.838) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (-5.379) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.936) has poor aqueous solubility, consistent with its high logP. Ligand B (-1.184) has better solubility, but is still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.914) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but it's not critically high. Ligand B (0.116) has very low hERG risk, a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.94) has moderate microsomal clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (18.102) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is crucial for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.769) has a relatively short half-life. Ligand B (-0.468) has a longer half-life, which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.81) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.071) has very low P-gp efflux, improving bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it is over the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux, and slightly better binding affinity. While both have poor Caco-2 permeability, the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh this drawback. Ligand A's high logP and resulting poor solubility and permeability are significant liabilities.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.465 and 0.689, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.773) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (17.449), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (73.905) has a higher BBB score, but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.531 and -4.845), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.66 and -3.016), also unusual and indicating poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.128) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.948), a critical advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.94) has a significantly lower Cl_mic than Ligand B (40.605), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (67.778) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-4.293), which is a positive.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference in affinity is a major deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the substantially stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, combined with its lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, lower Cl_mic, and lower P-gp efflux, make it the more promising drug candidate. The improved metabolic stability and reduced toxicity risks outweigh the potential permeability/solubility concerns, especially given the strong binding affinity.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (375.416 and 385.291 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is slightly higher than Ligand B (55.57), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.27) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.464) is pushing the upper limit and could potentially cause solubility issues or off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (0), as a single HBD can aid solubility without significantly impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have a similar number of HBA (Ligand A: 4, Ligand B: 5), both well within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (Ligand A: 0.757, Ligand B: 0.628), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.572) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (39.511), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 76.735, Ligand B: 75.378), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the values are similar (-5.004 for A and -4.645 for B) and don't strongly differentiate the two.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the values are similar (-2.893 for A and -3.774 for B) and don't strongly differentiate the two.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.272) shows a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.751), which is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (83.096) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (5.826), indicating poorer metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (43.758) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-1.83), which is generally desirable. However, the negative value for A is concerning and likely an artifact.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.047, Ligand B: 0.615).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar, strong binding affinities (Ligand A: -8.6 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable despite the higher DILI risk. It has a better logP, lower hERG risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The similar binding affinities mean that the ADME advantages of Ligand A are more important. While the negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, they are similar. The DILI risk for Ligand A would need to be investigated further, but the other advantages make it the more promising candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its minor ADME drawbacks.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. It has superior binding affinity, a much lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and a more favorable logP and HBA count. While Ligand A has a slightly lower hERG risk and P-gp efflux, the advantages of Ligand B in potency, safety (DILI), and PK (metabolic stability) are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The solubility of both is poor, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**TPSA:** Both are acceptable, but Ligand A (92.78) is preferable as it's below 140 and closer to the 90 threshold for potential CNS penetration (though not a primary concern here). Ligand B (107.19) is still reasonable.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.193) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (0.188) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=6) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, generally improving permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (A: 0.433, B: 0.58), with Ligand B being slightly more drug-like.
**DILI:** Ligand A (46.801) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.915), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand B (41.566) has slightly better BBB penetration than Ligand A (38.232).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are very poor (-4.8 and -5.986). This is a major concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are very poor (-2.043 and -2.839). This is also a major concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG risk (0.025 and 0.068), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-7.515) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.279), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.9) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-14.662), which is also favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux (0.015 and 0.019), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is greater than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.6 kcal/mol vs -7.0 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk, the potency difference is substantial enough to prioritize Ligand B. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but can be addressed through formulation strategies. The slightly better logP of Ligand B is also a plus.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.931) is very high, indicating excellent drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.238) is poor, suggesting potential issues.
**DILI:** Ligand A (53.276) has a moderate DILI risk, acceptable. Ligand B (35.595) has a lower DILI risk, which is favorable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (78.209) is better than Ligand B (54.207). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.684) and Ligand B (-5.279) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.072) and Ligand B (-1.407) both have negative values, suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is not defined, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.739) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.14) also indicates low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (65.907) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (21.402) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.352) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-31.456) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data error or unusual scale.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.617) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.002) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.7 and -8.9 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. This is a crucial factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slight advantage in binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, it suffers from a very low logP, poor QED, and a nonsensical in vitro half-life value. Ligand A has a much better overall profile with good drug-likeness, acceptable metabolic stability, and a reasonable logP. The questionable permeability and solubility values for both are concerning, but the superior overall properties of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a critical flaw.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Comparison:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) than Ligand B. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk. Both ligands have poor solubility and permeability. The strong affinity of Ligand A is a major advantage, and could potentially outweigh the DILI risk if further modifications can reduce it. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both, but could be addressed through formulation strategies.
Considering these factors, despite the higher DILI risk, Ligand A is the more promising candidate due to its substantially superior binding affinity and metabolic stability.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.835) has a worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.481). This is a concern for Ligand A given its higher logP.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.869 and 0.776), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (67.336) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.781). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (26.106) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (4.497). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.515 and 0.554).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.7 kcal/mol and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better BBB score and in vitro half-life, Ligand B is superior in several critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor. Specifically, its lower logP, better solubility, and significantly lower microsomal clearance (indicating better metabolic stability) outweigh the minor advantages of Ligand A. The comparable binding affinity makes these ADME properties the deciding factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (349.475 Da) is slightly better positioned.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (74.57) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (125.55) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.026) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.911) is below 1, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=7) both fall within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.791, B: 0.616), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.642) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (63.552). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors as it's not a CNS target. Ligand A (35.052) and Ligand B (56.378) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.747) and Ligand B (-5.592) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading without knowing the original units.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.569) and Ligand B (-1.263) both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.398) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.021). This is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (42.384) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (1.154), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (17.46 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (19.493 hours), which is a slight advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.206, B: 0.005).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol), but the difference is not substantial enough to overcome the significant ADME liabilities of Ligand B.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While its metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is a concern, it exhibits significantly better DILI and hERG profiles, a more favorable logP, and a lower TPSA. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A can likely be addressed through further optimization. Ligand B's poor logP and higher DILI/hERG risks are substantial drawbacks that would be difficult to overcome.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.678 and 0.737), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 42.148, while Ligand B has 21.636. Ligand B is significantly better here, indicating a lower risk of liver injury.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (79.333) is better than Ligand B (65.801), but this is not a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-4.528 and -4.662), which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, lower values indicate poorer permeability. They are both similarly poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.75) has poorer solubility than Ligand B (-1.925). Solubility is important for bioavailability, making Ligand B more favorable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.266) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.129). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.916) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.253), suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (24.288 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (12.295 hours). This is a significant advantage for dosing convenience.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a 1.3 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates superior ADMET properties, particularly in terms of DILI risk, solubility, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and hERG risk. The 1.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved ADMET profile of Ligand B makes it the more promising drug candidate.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (57.51) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (117.52) is still under 140, but less favorable than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.896) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.483) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (2 and 3 respectively), within the guideline of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (4 each), within the guideline of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.768 and 0.689), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable DILI risk (67.5 and 65.6), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.1) is better than Ligand B (43.8), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation, but we can assume they are both low permeability.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and requires further investigation, but we can assume they are both low solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.817) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.159), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (64.731) has a higher (worse) clearance than Ligand B (-18.126). Ligand B's negative value suggests very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (68.805) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-16.384). Ligand B's negative value suggests very high stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.438) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.018), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better logP, TPSA, hERG, and P-gp properties, Ligand B's superior binding affinity (-9.3 vs -8.7 kcal/mol) and significantly improved metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but might be mitigated with formulation strategies. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the binding affinity difference is a significant driver.

The long half-life is a major advantage for SRC inhibitors, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing. The similar binding affinities make these ADME properties the deciding factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (368.949 Da and 364.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (33.73) is significantly better than Ligand B (87.9). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and A is much closer to the ideal for CNS penetration (under 90) than B.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.492) is slightly high, potentially causing solubility issues, but still within a manageable range. Ligand B (0.253) is very low, which could hinder permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (0 HBD, 5 HBA) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.617 and 0.715), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (9.112) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (50.756). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (80.031 and 81.388), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.777) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.046) is also poor. Both show poor intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.727) is poor, while Ligand B (-1.805) is slightly better, but still poor.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.945) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.196), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.263) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-2.326), meaning B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (41.16) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (12.936).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.433) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.039), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4), a 0.5 kcal/mol difference.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability. However, it suffers from a very low logP, potentially hindering permeability, and a significantly higher DILI risk. Ligand A, while having slightly weaker binding, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG), a more reasonable logP, and a longer half-life. The difference in binding affinity (0.5 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh the ADME/Tox advantages of Ligand A, especially considering SRC is an enzyme target where metabolic stability and safety are crucial.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.621) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.488), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-12.018) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (11.766), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.945 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (52.257 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.166 and 0.119).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is significant and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 348.487 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (78.95) is slightly higher than Ligand B (67.43), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (0.836) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation, while Ligand B (2.701) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (2). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is preferable to Ligand B (3).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.721 and 0.695), indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (32.183 and 34.277), which is excellent.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (68.437 and 62.233), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these are often modeled values and can be unreliable.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, these are modeled values.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.131 and 0.203), which is highly desirable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.283) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.873), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.589) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (7.403), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.01 and 0.121).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.3 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have acceptable DILI and hERG profiles, Ligand A boasts significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a much stronger binding affinity. The slightly lower logP of Ligand A is a minor concern that could potentially be addressed through further optimization, but the superior potency and metabolic stability make it the preferred choice.

**DILI:** Ligand B (40.83) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (19.504), but both are still considered relatively low risk (<40 is good).
**BBB:** Ligand B (81.621) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (36.526), but this is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.821 and -4.706), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a red flag for both compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.016 and -4.018), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.065) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.791). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.09) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (82.013). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.091) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (32.359) has a much longer one. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.006) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.512) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -7.3 kcal/mol, B: -7.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.2 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in hERG risk, metabolic stability (Cl_mic), and P-gp efflux. However, Ligand B has a better logP, longer half-life, and better BBB penetration. Both compounds have concerningly poor solubility and permeability. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the lower hERG risk, Ligand A is slightly favored. However, the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are major drawbacks that would need to be addressed through further optimization.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.728 and 0.628), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (74.952) compared to Ligand B (14.347). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand B (68.709) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (54.866), but BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.21) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.843), indicating potentially lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.871) has lower aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.563). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.614) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.377), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (62.53) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (18.395). This suggests Ligand A is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.647) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (17.427). This is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.414) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.307), which is favorable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (383.25 and 370.362 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have a TPSA of 49.41, which is well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.968) is slightly higher than Ligand B (2.973), both within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and 2 HBA, meeting the criteria of <=5 and <=10 respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.7, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (66.421) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (19.62). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.841) has moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (93.098) has high BBB penetration. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.31 and -4.669). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and the negative values are likely indicating very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.101) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.129). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.569 and 0.609).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (74.937) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.292). This suggests Ligand A is less metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-22.928) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (41.018). A longer half-life is generally preferred.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.151) has slightly higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.033).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, shorter half-life, and lower solubility make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B, while having weaker binding affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI), improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and better solubility. The substantial difference in binding affinity *could* be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, whereas mitigating the ADME liabilities of Ligand A would likely be more challenging.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.704, B: 0.732), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (54.634) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (33.579) has a lower, more favorable risk.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (89.066) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (58.085), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.66 and -4.83), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.717 and -2.0). This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.787 and 0.689). This is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (78.728) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.17), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (59.313) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (37.027), indicating better stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.374 and 0.069).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have concerning solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B demonstrates better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and a more favorable logP. Ligand A's higher logP and clearance are significant drawbacks. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but Ligand B provides a better starting point for optimization.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 5 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 2 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.541) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.428), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (22.102) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (6.747), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (70.686) is slightly better than Ligand A (67.429). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.167) has a slightly lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.5), which is preferable.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (38.688) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-22.76). This is a major advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.006) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.303), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This difference, while not huge, is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and a much longer half-life. However, it suffers from a higher logP, potentially leading to solubility and off-target issues, and a higher hERG risk. Ligand A has better physicochemical properties (logP, TPSA, QED, metabolic stability, P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is slightly weaker and half-life is poor.
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the slightly better binding affinity and significantly improved half-life of Ligand B outweigh its drawbacks, *provided* the solubility and hERG risks can be mitigated through formulation or further structural modifications. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B is also a significant positive.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable solubility and half-life data, Ligand B's superior binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly higher logP of Ligand A is a minor advantage, but the difference in binding affinity is more significant. The metabolic stability of Ligand A is better, but the binding affinity difference is larger.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a slightly better hERG profile, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-7.2 vs -10.2 kcal/mol) makes Ligand B the more promising candidate. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The high DILI risk is a concern for both, but can be investigated further.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.8, B: 0.152), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.036) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.092), meaning it's metabolized faster and has lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.348) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-2.011), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.17, B: 0.022).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better solubility, permeability, and lower DILI risk, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a slightly improved binding affinity.

Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, and has a slightly elevated DILI risk. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, hERG, P-gp, and higher metabolic stability), but significantly weaker binding affinity.
Given the strong binding affinity of Ligand A, and the fact that solubility/permeability issues can sometimes be addressed through formulation strategies, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The potency advantage is substantial enough to prioritize it for further optimization, focusing on improving its solubility and permeability.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.396 and -4.754), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible and don't necessarily indicate a complete lack of permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-2.667 and -2.4), indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (A: 0.06, B: 0.161).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-7.531) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (16.629), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-22.412) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.387), further supporting its improved metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.037, B: 0.02).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), **Ligand B is the superior candidate**. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower microsomal clearance, longer half-life, and slightly better logP and QED outweigh the slightly lower TPSA and solubility concerns. While both have poor solubility and permeability, the superior potency and metabolic stability of Ligand B make it more likely to succeed as a drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.45 & 347.39 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (58.2) is significantly better than Ligand B (75.44). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.297 & 2.333), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) is slightly higher than Ligand B (1), but both are acceptable (<=5).
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (2) is lower than Ligand B (4), which is favorable.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.744 & 0.887), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (21.753) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.964). This is a significant advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (81.039 & 88.057), but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less crucial.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.618), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.513 & -3.791), which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.568) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.323), which is a positive.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (40.399) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.94), indicating better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.472) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-19.992).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.147) has a slightly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.149).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B boasts a superior binding affinity, the significantly higher DILI risk and worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic) are major drawbacks. Ligand A, despite a weaker binding affinity, presents a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and better metabolic stability. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the balance of properties favors Ligand A. The potency difference (1.9 kcal/mol) is substantial, but not insurmountable, and the improved ADMET properties of Ligand A are likely to translate to a more viable drug candidate.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have similar, poor aqueous solubility (-3.874 and -3.669).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.734) has slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.55), but both are acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (84.212) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (47.616), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.619) has a much shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.891). This is a major disadvantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.209 and 0.275).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol). While a 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant, the other factors weigh more heavily.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.597) is good, indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B (0.394) is below 0.5, suggesting a less favorable drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (82.435) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (24.506). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (32.028) and Ligand B (71.811) are both not particularly high, but this is not a major differentiating factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, again unusual and suggesting poor solubility. The scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.15) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.478), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.765) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is a key priority for enzymes. Ligand B (63.157) has higher clearance.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.851) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag. Ligand B (-11.669) also has a negative half-life, also a major red flag.

Specifically, the much lower DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and microsomal clearance, coupled with better solubility and half-life, make it a more promising candidate. The difference in binding affinity, while notable, is likely surmountable with further optimization, whereas addressing severe ADMET liabilities is often much more challenging. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (361.463 and 344.455 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (68.54 and 67.43) are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.967) is high, potentially causing solubility and off-target issues. Ligand B (1.614) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) is good. Ligand B (2 HBD, 3 HBA) is also good. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.506 and 0.72), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 68.941, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 29.624, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (83.327) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (48.74).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.686) and Ligand B (-5.012) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates very poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.938) and Ligand B (-3.429) both have poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.648) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.142), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (120.349) has a higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability, compared to Ligand B (2.6). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (64.099) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (21.647), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.799) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.085), which is less desirable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (357.445 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (342.399 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (52.65) is significantly better than Ligand B (79.74). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 1.727, B: 1.821), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=7) as it has fewer hydrogen bond acceptors. Excessive HBA can sometimes hinder permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.815, B: 0.877), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (15.2) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.529). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 81.039, B: 80.264), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.744) is better than Ligand B (-5.029), indicating slightly better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.481) is better than Ligand B (-3.0), indicating better solubility. Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.559) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.823), reducing the risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-14.461) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.301). This suggests greater metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.411) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (33.266), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.041) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.149), which is beneficial for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6), but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME advantages of Ligand A. A 0.7 kcal/mol difference is not a decisive factor.
**Overall:** Ligand A demonstrates superior ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, lower hERG, significantly better metabolic stability, lower P-gp efflux) and comparable binding affinity to Ligand B. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (10.392) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (29.469). This is a crucial advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (64.56 and 67.313), which isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.359 and -5.777), indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.217 and -1.893), indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.161) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.075), which is a significant safety advantage. Lower is better.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.956) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.312), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (5.875) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-19.749), indicating better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.001 and 0.014).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (-7.0 and -7.5 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (longer half-life, lower Cl_mic), Ligand A is superior in several critical areas: lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better QED, and lower HBD count. The similar binding affinities mean the ADME/Tox profile becomes the deciding factor. The lower DILI and hERG risks for Ligand A are substantial advantages, outweighing the slightly poorer metabolic stability. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.28 and 362.495 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (116.84) is higher than the preferred <140, but still acceptable. Ligand B (55.57) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.51) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.582) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (5) are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.515 and 0.682, respectively), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.86) is better than Ligand B (39.201) in terms of DILI risk, both are good.
**BBB:** Ligand A (62.854) is lower than Ligand B (96.316). BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.289) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.729) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.014) is poor, while Ligand B (-4.284) is also poor. Both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.089) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.762) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-23.995) has a very low (good) microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B (125.244) has a high clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.162) has a very short half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (41.043) has a much longer half-life, which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.002 and 0.662, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.8 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is significantly better overall due to its superior logP, BBB, in vitro half-life, and acceptable hERG risk. Ligand A has better DILI and microsomal clearance but is severely hampered by its poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, and short half-life. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and reasonable half-life are crucial, and Ligand B excels in these areas. The slightly lower solubility and higher DILI risk of Ligand B are less concerning than the permeability issues of Ligand A.

**DILI:** Ligand A (36.487) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (52.966). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (69.329 and 65.839). This isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP-scale values, they suggest poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. Assuming these are logS values, they suggest poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.367 and 0.311).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (30.646) has a considerably lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (56.88), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (22.526) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (46.635). This is also a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.102 and 0.243).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.

While metabolic stability is important, the 1.1 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to potentially overcome the poorer metabolic stability of Ligand B with further optimization. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B is also a critical factor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (387.571) is slightly higher than B (354.451), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.3) is well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, and even below the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (though that's not a priority here). Ligand B (98.82) is still under 140, but closer. A is better.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.642) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.269) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues. A is better.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, also good. No significant difference here.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.589, B: 0.615), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (39.201) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (26.638), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60. B is better.
**BBB:** Both have similar, moderate BBB penetration (A: 45.25, B: 45.328). Not a major factor for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.513 and -4.873). This is unusual and suggests potential issues with intestinal absorption, but the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.143 and -1.459). Again, the scale is undefined, but suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (A: 0.042, B: 0.034), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.428) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (29.434), indicating better metabolic stability. A is better.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.422) has a positive half-life, while Ligand B (-18.77) has a negative half-life. This is concerning for Ligand B. A is significantly better.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.015, B: 0.004), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (1.1 kcal/mol), and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a concerning negative in vitro half-life, and a slightly lower solubility. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive half-life), better TPSA and logP, but a weaker binding affinity.
Given the significant advantage in binding affinity for Ligand B, and the fact that the other issues *might* be addressable through formulation or further optimization, I would choose Ligand B as the more promising candidate. The strong binding is likely to be more impactful than the slightly less favorable ADME properties, especially in the early stages of drug development.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (86.778) has a higher BBB score than Ligand B (67.08), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.62 and -4.868), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.976 and -2.157), indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.383) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.621), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (30.247) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (40.959), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (37.013) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (11.343). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.154) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand A (0.083), potentially leading to better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor, and the 18.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has advantages in DILI risk, metabolic stability, and P-gp efflux, the overwhelmingly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is decisive. The substantial potency advantage is likely to outweigh the drawbacks of slightly higher DILI risk and shorter half-life, especially in the context of an oncology target where rapid and potent inhibition is often desired. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand A (87.204) has a high DILI risk, a significant concern. Ligand B (30.322) has a low DILI risk, a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (33.656) and Ligand B (85.498) are not particularly relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a red flag for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.071) has very low hERG risk, excellent. Ligand B (0.752) has a moderate hERG risk, which is not ideal but manageable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.495) has a relatively low clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (82.108) has a high clearance, indicating faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (28.808) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (6.383) has a very short half-life, requiring frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.047) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.575) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and P-gp efflux. However, its high DILI risk is a major drawback. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, better TPSA, but weaker binding affinity, poorer metabolic stability, and a shorter half-life.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the binding affinity is paramount. The 1.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the DILI risk of Ligand A is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications. The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds are also concerning and would need to be addressed in either case. However, the potency advantage of Ligand A is significant enough to make it the more promising candidate *as a starting point*, assuming the DILI risk can be addressed through further optimization.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (23.55) is significantly better than Ligand B (86.55). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred for kinases. Ligand A is excellent, while Ligand B is pushing the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.174) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues, but still within a reasonable range. Ligand B (1.14) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have a reasonable number of HBDs (0) and HBAs (3 for A, 7 for B), staying within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, good QED values (0.706 and 0.73).
**DILI:** Both have similar DILI risk (57.3 and 59.4), which is acceptable, falling below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (81.7 and 94.3), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we can still compare them relatively. A less negative value is better, so Ligand A (-4.745) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.318).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.375) is better than Ligand B (-2.707). Solubility is important for kinases.
**hERG:** Both have very low hERG risk (0.95 and 0.036), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (121.38) has significantly higher clearance than Ligand B (48.56). Lower clearance is preferred for kinases, indicating better metabolic stability. Ligand B is much better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-24.988) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (33.896). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux (0.728 and 0.037), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (0 kcal/mol) has a better binding affinity than Ligand B (0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and better solubility. However, Ligand A has a better binding affinity and a lower TPSA. The higher logP of Ligand A is a concern, but the significantly better binding affinity outweighs this drawback. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the acceptable ADME profile of Ligand A, it is the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.683, B: 0.75), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.293) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (13.377), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (76.658) has a better BBB score than Ligand A (45.909), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.28) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-4.646) is also not great, but better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.547 and -2.893 respectively). This could pose formulation challenges, but is not a deal-breaker if other properties are strong.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.284) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.403), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.255) has a negative clearance, indicating very high metabolic stability, which is excellent. Ligand B (36.473) has a high clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (19.637 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (2.123 hours). This is a significant advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.021 and 0.097 respectively).

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate despite the solubility issues. Its superior binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and better QED score outweigh the slightly higher microsomal clearance. The solubility issue is a concern, but formulation strategies could potentially address this. Ligand B's better metabolic stability and half-life are attractive, but the higher DILI and hERG risks, coupled with the weaker binding affinity, make it less desirable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are key for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk and better BBB penetration. The solubility is poor for both. The Caco-2 permeability is concerning for both. Given the importance of potency and metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand B, I would prioritize Ligand B despite the higher DILI risk. Further optimization could focus on mitigating the DILI risk while maintaining the strong binding affinity.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.084) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (3.82). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.706) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (26.194), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show minimal P-gp efflux liability (0.007 and 0.043).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a slightly lower DILI risk, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.6 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of its slightly higher logP and lower metabolic stability. The difference in binding affinity is substantial and likely to translate to greater efficacy. The solubility and permeability are poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.27 and 346.446 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.19) is slightly higher than Ligand B (41.57). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is better.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.068 and 2.104), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.911) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand A (0.465), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (68.205) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (20.396). Ligand B is well below the 40 threshold, indicating low risk.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (96.2 and 89.298), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation, but doesn't immediately disqualify either.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and requires further investigation.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.706 and 0.763).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (86.382) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.378), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.441) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and suggests a data error. Ligand A has a reasonable half-life of 7.255 hours.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.554 and 0.232).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While both are excellent, the 1 kcal/mol difference is noteworthy.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand B appears to be the more promising candidate. It has a significantly better QED score, a much lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The binding affinity difference is small, and the slight advantage of Ligand B is enough to tip the scales, especially considering the improved ADME properties. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag and would require further investigation to determine if it is a data error or a true observation. However, assuming the binding affinity data is reliable, Ligand B is still preferred due to the other favorable properties.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (13.843) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.062). This is a major advantage for Ligand A. A DILI percentile above 60 is concerning.
**8. BBB:** Ligand B (84.141) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (53.781), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.934 and -4.824), which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.227 and -1.263) which is also unusual and suggests very poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.101 and 0.192).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.845) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.051), indicating greater metabolic stability.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3), a difference of 0.6 kcal/mol.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B has a slightly better affinity, but Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and has a *much* lower DILI risk. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both, but the DILI risk for Ligand B is a significant red flag. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to outweigh the substantial advantages of Ligand A in terms of safety and metabolic stability.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.3 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This difference of 3 kcal/mol is highly significant and can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and aqueous solubility for both, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.3 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and better half-life) outweigh the slightly lower logP. The similar DILI and hERG profiles are also favorable. While solubility and permeability are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The potency advantage of Ligand A is critical for an enzyme inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (388.291 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (358.439 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.63) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (109) is also below the threshold, but closer to it.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.783) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.678) is significantly below this, which could hinder membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA) both fall within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (Ligand A: 0.754, Ligand B: 0.506), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (51.687) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (19.271) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 64.366, Ligand B: 69.523). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.313) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.155) is also poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.858) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-0.361) is slightly better, but still poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.253) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.091) also has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (96.681) has high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-2.97) has negative clearance, which is very good.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.974) has a short half-life, consistent with the high clearance. Ligand B (-1.363) has a negative half-life, which is very good.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.109, Ligand B: 0.001).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (Ligand A: -7.6 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -7.5 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand B is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk, superior metabolic stability (negative clearance and half-life), and slightly better solubility. Ligand A's high clearance and poor Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the other advantages outweigh this.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B based on the provided guidelines, prioritizing enzyme-specific properties (affinity, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**Ligand A:**
* **MW:** 362.411 Da - Good, within the ideal range.
* **TPSA:** 108.47 - Acceptable, but approaching the upper limit for good absorption.

* **HBD:** 2 - Good.
* **HBA:** 7 - Good.
* **QED:** 0.754 - Excellent, highly drug-like.
* **DILI:** 74.68 - High risk of liver injury.
* **BBB:** 57.968 - Low, not a concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
* **Caco-2:** -5.363 - Very poor permeability.
* **Solubility:** -3.703 - Very poor solubility.

* **Cl_mic:** 29.36 mL/min/kg - Moderate clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability.
* **t1/2:** -4.918 hours - Short half-life.
* **Pgp:** 0.238 - Low efflux, favorable.
* **Affinity:** -9.2 kcal/mol - Excellent binding affinity.
**Ligand B:**
* **MW:** 412.324 Da - Good, within the ideal range.
* **TPSA:** 64.63 - Excellent, promotes good absorption.
* **logP:** 3.628 - Slightly high, could lead to solubility issues, but manageable.
* **HBD:** 1 - Good.
* **HBA:** 4 - Good.
* **QED:** 0.695 - Good, drug-like.
* **DILI:** 37.03 - Low risk of liver injury.
* **BBB:** 73.672 - Not a primary concern for SRC.
* **Caco-2:** -4.534 - Poor permeability.
* **Solubility:** -4.222 - Poor solubility.
* **hERG:** 0.387 - Low risk of hERG inhibition.
* **Cl_mic:** 110.867 mL/min/kg - High clearance, poor metabolic stability.
* **t1/2:** 6.949 hours - Moderate half-life.
* **Pgp:** 0.39 - Low efflux, favorable.
* **Affinity:** -7.1 kcal/mol - Good binding affinity.
**Comparison and Decision:**
Ligand A has significantly better binding affinity (-9.2 kcal/mol vs -7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. However, Ligand A suffers from very poor solubility and permeability, and a high DILI risk. Ligand B has better solubility and permeability, lower DILI risk, but weaker binding affinity and poor metabolic stability.
Despite the superior affinity of Ligand A, its poor ADME properties, particularly solubility and permeability, are major drawbacks. A kinase inhibitor needs to reach its target in sufficient concentration to be effective. The poor solubility and permeability of Ligand A would likely limit its bioavailability. The high DILI risk is also concerning. Ligand B, while having weaker affinity, has a more balanced profile with better solubility, permeability, and a lower DILI risk. The metabolic instability of Ligand B could be addressed with structural modifications, but the poor ADME of Ligand A would be more challenging to fix.
Therefore, considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall balance of properties, Ligand B is the more viable drug candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has better DILI and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), Ligand B boasts a considerably stronger binding affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priority on potency, the 1 kcal/mol difference in binding is substantial. The solubility issues are a concern for both, but could be addressed through formulation. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the stronger binding of Ligand B makes it more likely to be effective *in vivo* even with limited absorption.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (7.904) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (33.802), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.294 and 0.027), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-7.5 and -7.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The difference is small and likely not decisive.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) outweigh the slightly lower BBB and the lower logP. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major red flag.

**BBB:** Ligand A (43.699) has a low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (83.249) has good BBB penetration, though not critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.207) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is concerning. Ligand B (-4.639) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.05) has poor aqueous solubility, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-3.464) also has poor solubility, but is worse than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.149) has very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.649) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.728) has very low microsomal clearance, indicating good metabolic stability. Ligand B (93.131) has high microsomal clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.43) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (29.854) has a significantly longer half-life, which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.008) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.365) has slightly higher efflux, but still acceptable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better safety profile (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and slightly better binding affinity. However, its poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are significant liabilities. Ligand B has better permeability (lower TPSA) and a much longer half-life, which are important for *in vivo* efficacy. While its solubility is also poor, its longer half-life and better logP might compensate to some extent. The high metabolic clearance of Ligand B is a concern.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the longer half-life of Ligand B is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing its higher metabolic clearance and slightly lower affinity. The poor solubility of both is a concern that would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (360.458) is slightly higher, but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (58.12) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold. B (112.95) is higher, but still potentially acceptable, though less favorable for absorption.
3. **logP:** A (4.162) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. B (1.192) is good, within the optimal range.
4. **HBD:** A (1) and B (2) are both acceptable, below the 5 threshold.
5. **HBA:** A (4) and B (6) are both acceptable, below the 10 threshold.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.89, B: 0.819), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (51.26) is better than B (61.07), indicating a lower risk of liver injury. Both are acceptable, but A is preferred.
8. **BBB:** A (85.847) is much better than B (53.819). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.758) is better than B (-5.091), indicating better intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-4.301) is better than B (-3.627), indicating better aqueous solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low (A: 0.239, B: 0.101), indicating minimal cardiotoxicity risk.

14. **Pgp:** A (0.183) is better than B (0.038), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Affinity:** B (-8.2) is significantly better than A (-6.8). A difference of 1.4 kcal/mol is substantial and can often outweigh minor ADME concerns.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has some favorable properties (better DILI, BBB, Pgp, solubility, and Caco-2), Ligand B clearly wins due to its *significantly* better binding affinity (-8.2 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) and *much* improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). The higher affinity is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor, and the improved metabolic stability will likely translate to better *in vivo* exposure. The slightly higher TPSA and logP of Ligand B are less concerning given the strong affinity and metabolic profile.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.722 and -4.778), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.399 and -3.443), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major formulation challenge for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.844, Ligand B: 0.449), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.299 mL/min/kg) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.571 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.408 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-16.282 hours), which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.583, Ligand B: 0.385).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage. The difference of 1.1 kcal/mol is large enough to potentially overcome some ADME liabilities.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, better QED, and better metabolic stability. However, it has a higher DILI risk, a shorter half-life, and poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has lower DILI risk and a longer half-life, but weaker binding affinity and worse QED.
Given the priority for potency in enzyme inhibition, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.9 kcal/mol vs -8.8 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. While the DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability are also significant challenges, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) and better solubility, lower DILI risk, and lower Pgp efflux, its *extremely* poor in vitro half-life (-18.816 hours) and higher microsomal clearance (53.409) are major liabilities. A negative half-life is essentially non-viable. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, possesses a much more reasonable half-life (5.382 hours) and lower clearance (15.207), indicating better metabolic stability. The difference in binding affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA) are both within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.596 and 0.668, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (43.971) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (62.815), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (70.997) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (39.55).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.79) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.632).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.825) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.092). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.371 and 0.114, respectively), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (39.622) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (3.452). This means Ligand B is much more metabolically stable, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.657) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (3.919).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.129 and 0.032, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). While the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol), it's within the range where it could outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and a slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand A has better solubility and a lower DILI risk, the improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is more critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The small difference in affinity is not enough to overcome the metabolic advantage of Ligand B.

* **Pgp:** 0.008 - Very Low efflux
* **Affinity:** -8.8 kcal/mol - Excellent (very strong binding, 0.4 kcal/mol better than Ligand A)
**Comparison & Decision:**
Both compounds have excellent binding affinities, with Ligand B being slightly better (-8.8 vs -8.4 kcal/mol). However, both suffer from very poor predicted solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Ligand A has a higher DILI risk and moderate metabolic clearance, while Ligand B has a moderate DILI risk and excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B also has a much lower Pgp efflux.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) is crucial. Ligand B's extremely low Cl_mic is a significant advantage, despite its short predicted half-life. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B, combined with its superior metabolic stability and low Pgp efflux, outweighs the concerns about its slightly higher TPSA and lower logP. While both have poor solubility and permeability, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The DILI risk is moderate for both, and the hERG risk is low for both.
Therefore, I would choose Ligand B as the more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (379.825 and 360.443 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (108.19) is better than Ligand B (114.12), both are acceptable but closer to the upper limit for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.161 and 2.364) are within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 6 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.747) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.348), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (91.237) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (50.097). This is a concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, values are similar.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.16) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.42), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (6.781) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.029), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.674) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the compound itself. Ligand B (13.978) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small (0.4 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and half-life, but Ligand A excels in QED, hERG risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major red flag. The higher DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, but can potentially be mitigated with structural modifications. Given the importance of metabolic stability for enzyme inhibitors, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate *if* the half-life data can be corrected or explained. However, the negative half-life is a serious issue.
Considering the issues with the data for Ligand A, and the better overall profile of Ligand B, I will choose Ligand B.

**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (35.634 and 32.842 percentiles), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (54.091) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (71.733). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.488 and -4.619), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.629 and -2.382), also indicating poor solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.178 and 0.027 percentiles), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.375 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.685 mL/min/kg). This suggests much better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.05 hours) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (-10.127 hours) is also short, but significantly longer than A. Both are concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.017 and 0.028 percentiles), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.4 kcal/mol difference is notable.

Ligand B has better solubility and a longer half-life but has significantly worse metabolic stability. The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds are major concerns.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial. The substantial difference in Cl_mic favors Ligand A. The slightly better binding affinity of A further strengthens its position. While the poor half-life of A is a concern, it might be addressable through structural modifications. The poor metabolic stability of B is harder to fix.

The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful in early development.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBAs, and Ligand B has 5. Both are acceptable (<10).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.669 and 0.639), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (30.71 and 33.66), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (78.87) is slightly better than Ligand A (60.84).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are not directly comparable without knowing the scale.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. Again, the scale is unknown, making direct comparison difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.146 and 0.176), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (46.83) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (64.63), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both have negative half-lives (-16.13 and -16.63), which is not physically meaningful and suggests an issue with the data or the model used to predict it.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.048 and 0.04), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better TPSA and microsomal clearance, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.3 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The relatively similar and acceptable ADME properties of both compounds make the potency difference the deciding factor.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.435 and -2.254), which is also concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.356) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.129), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-19.467) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (9.108), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-9.3 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) and its better logP, lower hERG risk, and acceptable DILI make it the more promising candidate. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is attractive, but the potency advantage of Ligand B is more crucial for an enzyme target like SRC. Further optimization would be needed to address the solubility and permeability issues for either compound, but Ligand B starts from a stronger position due to its superior binding.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP values, Ligand B (-4.821) is significantly worse than Ligand A (-3.968), indicating very poor absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logS values, Ligand A (-3.968) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.693).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.652) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.285), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-1.121) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (11.891), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.945) has a shorter half-life than Ligand A (42.225), which is a negative.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.222 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.7 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a better in vitro half-life and solubility, Ligand B's significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI risk, and slightly better binding affinity outweigh these drawbacks. The low logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the strong binding affinity might compensate for that. The Caco-2 permeability is a concern for both, but worse for B. However, the metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (63.862) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.448). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (68.554) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (92.168). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.85 and -4.935). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.768 and -5.669). This is also concerning and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly worse.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition liability (0.733 and 0.781), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.554) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (80.34), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (129.704) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (34.98), which is a major advantage.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.548 and 0.139), which is good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same excellent binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol). This removes affinity as a differentiating factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in TPSA, HBD, HBA, QED, metabolic stability (Cl_mic), and half-life. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk. Ligand B has better DILI risk and slightly better P-gp efflux, but is worse across most other ADME properties. Given the importance of metabolic stability and half-life for an enzyme inhibitor, and the equal binding affinity, Ligand A is slightly more promising *despite* the higher DILI risk. The DILI risk could potentially be mitigated through structural modifications.

**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 77.705, while Ligand B is 63.164. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.033) and Ligand B (-4.725) both have negative Caco-2 permeability values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (Ligand A: -1.186, Ligand B: -1.993). This could present formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a hERG inhibition risk of 0.084, which is very low and desirable. Ligand B has a slightly higher risk of 0.231, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a very low (good) microsomal clearance of -20.946, indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B has a clearance of -3.267, which is better than many compounds but significantly higher than Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a very long in vitro half-life (-25.241), further supporting its metabolic stability. Ligand B has a half-life of 21.797, which is good, but not as impressive as Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.004, Ligand B: 0.022), which is favorable for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a binding affinity of -10.3 kcal/mol, while Ligand B has -7.5 kcal/mol. Ligand A is significantly more potent. The 2.8 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility for both, Ligand A is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.3 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and substantially better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition are also beneficial. While solubility and permeability are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand A (66.344) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (42.846). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (55.215) and Ligand B (78.907). BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.894) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.371). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but B is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have similar, very poor aqueous solubility (-2.648 and -2.624). This is a concern for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.271) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.123). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.906) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (66.952). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (54.938) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-17.317). This is a substantial benefit for Ligand A, reducing dosing frequency.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.083) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.224), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a 1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is significant and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and P-gp efflux. However, it has a higher DILI risk and slightly worse hERG. Ligand B has a better binding affinity and lower DILI/hERG risk, but suffers from significantly worse metabolic stability and a shorter half-life.
Given the priority for metabolic stability and longer half-life for enzyme targets, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity (1.5 kcal/mol), the improved PK profile of Ligand A is more valuable. The DILI risk is a concern, but could be investigated further.

The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -7.6 kcal/mol) combined with acceptable ADME properties (although solubility and permeability are concerns) makes it the more promising candidate. The TPSA is also much more favorable for Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux, better QED, lower HBD/HBA, and better solubility. However, it has a higher DILI risk, higher clearance, and shorter half-life. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a less favorable QED score.
Given the priority for potency in kinase inhibitors, the substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand A outweighs its ADME liabilities, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through further structural modifications. The poor solubility and metabolic stability are also areas for optimization, but the strong initial binding is a crucial starting point.

2025-04-17 13:14:02,855 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [376.538, 69.64, 2.37, 2, 4, 0.648, 14.541, 78.209, -4.79, -3.051, 0.292, 70.044, -43.667, 0.019, -7.4]
**Ligand B:** [343.383, 84.67, 1.77, 1, 5, 0.894, 44.126, 41.528, -4.574, -2.705, 0.234, 16.8, 3.503, 0.029, -8.6]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand B (343.383) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (69.64) is better than Ligand B (84.67). We want TPSA <= 140 for oral absorption, both are within this range, but lower is better.
3. **logP:** Both are good (between 1-3). Ligand A (2.37) is slightly higher, which is generally acceptable.
4. **HBD:** Both are acceptable (<=5). Ligand A (2) is slightly better than Ligand B (1).
5. **HBA:** Both are acceptable (<=10). Ligand A (4) is better than Ligand B (5).
6. **QED:** Both are good (>0.5). Ligand B (0.894) is better than Ligand A (0.648).
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (14.541) is significantly better than Ligand B (44.126). This is a major advantage for Ligand A. We want <40, and A is well within that, while B is approaching a moderate risk.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (78.209) is much better than Ligand B (41.528). While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.79) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.574).
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.051) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-2.705).
11. **hERG:** Both are very low (0.292 and 0.234), indicating low cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (70.044) is better than Ligand B (16.8). Lower is better, indicating greater metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-43.667) is significantly better than Ligand B (3.503). A negative value suggests a very long half-life *in vitro*, which is highly desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Both are very low (0.019 and 0.029), indicating low P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6) is significantly better than Ligand A (-7.4). This is a 1.2 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** Ligand B wins decisively.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand A is better (higher t1/2, lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but Ligand B is slightly better.
* **hERG:** Both are good.
* **DILI:** Ligand A is *much* better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, Ligand A has a much more favorable safety profile (DILI) and metabolic stability profile (Cl_mic, t1/2). The 1.2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is significant, but the substantial improvement in DILI risk for Ligand A is a critical factor. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the importance of minimizing off-target effects and maximizing metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, I believe the benefits of Ligand A outweigh the potency advantage of Ligand B.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.156) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is concerning, while Ligand B (-4.907) is also negative, but slightly better. This suggests poor intestinal absorption for both, but A is worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.218) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.439). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.074) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.854). This is a significant safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.95) has lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, compared to Ligand B (33.385).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (30.35) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (20.154).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.029) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.473), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can often outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. It has a significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability, and lower P-gp efflux. While its Caco-2 permeability is poor, the strong binding affinity and improved safety profile outweigh this concern. Ligand B has a higher logP and a concerning hERG risk.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (336.405 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (38.77) is significantly better than Ligand B (73.2). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 4.764, B: 3.246), falling within the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand A is a bit high, potentially leading to off-target effects, but not drastically so.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=0, HBA=3) is better than Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=4) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.651, B: 0.801), indicating a generally drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (77.511) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (40.364). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 72.237, B: 70.376). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible and don't necessarily mean zero permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (A: -6.05, B: -4.609). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.852) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.698), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.058) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.807), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-36.219) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (21.924). This is a major positive for Ligand A, suggesting less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.498, B: 0.258).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the 7.1 kcal/mol advantage is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior metabolic stability and half-life, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.1 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of its slightly higher TPSA and DILI risk. The potency difference is so large that it's likely to be the dominant factor in *in vivo* efficacy. The solubility issues are present in both, and could be addressed with formulation strategies. The higher DILI risk for Ligand A is a substantial concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (338.451 and 344.371 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (127.24) is still within acceptable limits, but less favorable than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.294) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-0.173) is below 1, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=2) is excellent. Ligand B (HBD=4, HBA=5) is acceptable, but higher values could impact permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.855) is very strong, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.564) is acceptable, but lower than A.
**DILI:** Ligand A (18.883) has a very low DILI risk. Ligand B (69.678) is significantly higher, indicating a concerning potential for liver injury.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (83.288) is better than Ligand B (16.014).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.906) and Ligand B (-5.461) are both negative, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and direct comparison is difficult without knowing the scale's specifics.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.667 and -3.031 respectively), which is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.176 and 0.247 respectively).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.683) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-16.006) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely an error or artifact of the prediction method. This is a major red flag.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.575) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. Ligand B (-1.834) also has a negative half-life, indicating a problem with the prediction.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.171 and 0.024 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having excellent binding affinity, Ligand A is significantly more favorable. Ligand B has a concerningly high DILI risk, a negative (and therefore impossible) microsomal clearance, and a negative in vitro half-life. Ligand A has better TPSA, logP, QED, and DILI scores. While both have poor solubility and questionable Caco-2 permeability, the issues with Ligand B's predicted metabolism make it a much less viable candidate. The negative values for clearance and half-life are critical failures.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (108.576) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-21.908). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (29.601) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-27.49). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.163) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.04), which is preferable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol), but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A has a significantly better DILI score and hERG risk profile, and a better P-gp efflux liability. Both have poor solubility and permeability. Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the better metabolic stability and binding affinity of Ligand B are more crucial than the slightly better safety profile of Ligand A. The solubility issues would need to be addressed in either case through formulation strategies.

**Overall Assessment:**
Despite its superior binding affinity, Ligand A's high DILI risk and higher clearance are major drawbacks. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are also concerning. However, the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a compelling factor. A strong binding affinity can sometimes outweigh ADME issues, especially if structural modifications can be made to improve those properties. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG, Pgp) and metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is essentially non-existent.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, potency is paramount. While the ADME properties of Ligand A are concerning, the substantial binding affinity advantage is likely to be more impactful in initial lead optimization.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are crucial for enzyme inhibitors. However, it has a higher DILI risk and Pgp efflux. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and Pgp efflux, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a shorter half-life. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a major advantage. The longer half-life is also a significant benefit. While the DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications in subsequent optimization rounds. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are shared concerns, but could be addressed with formulation strategies.

The strong binding affinity is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the other advantages mitigate the solubility concerns. Formulation strategies can be employed to address solubility issues. Ligand B, while having better solubility and hERG, lacks the potency and favorable metabolic profile of Ligand A.

2025-04-17 13:15:38,598 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [346.431, 87.46, 0.858, 2, 5, 0.774, 42.691, 41.993, -5.033, -2.057, 0.14, 12.12, 3.247, 0.034, -7.3]
**Ligand B:** [346.435, 100.74, 1.645, 2, 6, 0.785, 47.266, 65.18, -5.091, -2.111, 0.322, 27.004, -12.117, 0.051, -9.1]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands (346.43 Da) fall within the ideal range (200-500 Da).
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (87.46) is better than Ligand B (100.74), both are under the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but A is closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (not a priority here).
3. **logP:** Ligand A (0.858) is slightly lower than optimal (1-3), but still acceptable. Ligand B (1.645) is better within the optimal range.
4. **HBD:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 6. Both are acceptable (<=10).
6. **QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.774 and 0.785), indicating good drug-likeness.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (42.691) has a slightly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.266). Both are acceptable (<60).
8. **BBB:** Ligand B (65.18) has a higher BBB penetration potential than Ligand A (41.993), but this is not a primary concern for an oncology target.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.14) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.322). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (12.12) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (27.004), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (3.247) has a positive in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (-12.117) has a negative value, which is not physically possible. This is a huge advantage for Ligand A.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.034) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.051).
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3) by 1.8 kcal/mol. This is a substantial difference.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While Ligand B has a better binding affinity, Ligand A excels in metabolic stability, hERG risk, and has a plausible half-life. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the superior ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly the metabolic stability and lower hERG risk, outweighs the affinity difference.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target and the overall profile of each ligand, **Ligand A** is the more viable drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (362.813 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (381.402 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (66.92) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (107.97) is still acceptable but higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.302) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.284) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeation and bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (1 HBD, 8 HBA) is acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly reduce permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.595, B: 0.581), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.754) has a moderate DILI risk, but is better than Ligand B (87.902), which is quite high.
**BBB:** Ligand A (96.161) shows excellent BBB penetration, although this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (46.336) has poor BBB penetration.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.711) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is concerning. Ligand B (-5.765) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.91) and Ligand B (-2.821) both have poor aqueous solubility, which could present formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.258, B: 0.154).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.767) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (28.952) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.048) has a very short half-life, which is a major drawback. Ligand B (-17.302) is also short, but slightly longer than A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.17, B: 0.035).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its significantly higher binding affinity. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and a very short half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a slightly longer half-life, but its logP is very low, and its DILI risk is high. The strong affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and while the ADME properties are suboptimal, they might be addressed through further optimization. The poor logP of Ligand B is a more fundamental issue that would be harder to resolve without significantly altering the core structure.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the enzyme-class guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.41 and 348.49 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.33) is slightly higher than Ligand B (58.64). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.866) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.511) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.791 and 0.686), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.06) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.081), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (79.217 and 73.866), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model's prediction. We'll proceed cautiously.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model's prediction. We'll proceed cautiously.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.117) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.477). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (6.981) has a considerably lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.525), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.73) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (2.06) is a short half-life, but is a valid value.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.035) has much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.202), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic), P-gp efflux, and hERG inhibition. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and a more favorable logP. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the superior ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly its lower clearance and hERG risk, outweighs the small binding affinity difference. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major red flag, however.
Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety (hERG) for kinase inhibitors, and the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, I would choose Ligand B.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (61.962) has a higher BBB score than Ligand B (49.089), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.048 and -5.154). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and a negative value doesn't necessarily preclude development, but warrants further investigation.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.891 and -4.006), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability and formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.083 and 0.096), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.373 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (10.978 mL/min/kg), indicating much better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.489 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-3.981 hours - which is likely an error, and should be a positive value). However, the value for Ligand B is suspect and likely an error.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (2.8 kcal/mol) and is a major driver in the decision.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability indicated by the Caco-2 and solubility values (which need further investigation), Ligand A is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol vs -6.3 kcal/mol) and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) outweigh the concerns about solubility and permeability, especially for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The lower DILI risk is also a slight advantage. The negative half-life for Ligand B is also a red flag.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 66.421%, which is considered high risk. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 36.758%, which is good. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (83.133%) has higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (53.005%), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again unusual and suggesting poor solubility. The scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.586) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.449), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a higher Cl_mic (74.007 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (14.887 mL/min/kg). Lower clearance is preferred for metabolic stability, so Ligand B is better.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.473, B: 0.098). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol). While a 0.4 kcal/mol difference is noticeable, it might not be enough to overcome the significant ADME liabilities of Ligand A.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and potentially better permeability and solubility (although the scales are unclear). The high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major concern.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.419 Da and 344.375 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (83.98) is well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, and even below 90, which is good. Ligand B (121.17) is still under 140, but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.029) is optimal. Ligand B (0.077) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is within acceptable limits. Ligand B (4 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (0.739 and 0.612), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (84.839) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (61.768), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and should be confirmed experimentally.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, experimental confirmation is needed.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.56 and 0.201), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.226) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.651), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.441) has a significantly *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand A (33.695). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux liability (0.162 and 0.019).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.9 kcal/mol and -9.3 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.6 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better logP and lower DILI, Ligand B's significantly improved in vitro half-life and slightly better solubility profile are more crucial for an enzyme target. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the deciding factor. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning and require experimental validation, but the overall profile of Ligand B is more favorable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (367.808 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (354.447 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.53) is significantly better than Ligand B (95.94). Lower TPSA generally improves permeability, which is beneficial.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (Ligand A: 2.041, Ligand B: 0.845), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand A is slightly more lipophilic, which could aid in cell permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=5) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, which generally leads to better permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.83) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.497), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.989) has a considerably lower DILI risk than Ligand B (7.057), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (89.57) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (66.072), but this is less critical in this context.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.756 and -4.776). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. However, these values are on a log scale and close to zero, so the actual permeability may not be drastically low.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.392 and -0.93). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.34 and 0.241), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (Ligand A: 18.554, Ligand B: 18.987), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.995) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-35.199), which is a substantial advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.3 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. It boasts a significantly better binding affinity, a higher QED score, a much lower DILI risk, and a longer in vitro half-life. While both have issues with predicted solubility and permeability, the stronger binding and better safety profile of Ligand A make it the more promising drug candidate for SRC kinase inhibition.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.407 and 346.431 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (97.94) is slightly higher than Ligand B (83.56). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.32) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (0.743) is better, but still on the lower side of the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.805) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.611), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (53.121) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (27.065). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 42.536, Ligand B: 47.926). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.198) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.902).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-0.624) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.355).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.02) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.195). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.098) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (1.433), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.605) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (24.782).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). However, the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better DILI score, slightly better Caco-2 permeability and a slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A has a much better QED score, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and slightly better solubility. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the better metabolic stability and lower hERG risk of Ligand A are more important than the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B. The QED score also supports Ligand A as a more drug-like molecule.

2025-04-17 13:16:19,489 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both A (344.459 Da) and B (353.463 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range. No clear advantage here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (67.23) is significantly better than Ligand B (104.2). A is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, while B is approaching it.
3. **logP:** Both A (2.709) and B (2.445) are within the optimal 1-3 range. A is slightly more lipophilic, which could be beneficial for cell permeability.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (1) is better than Ligand B (3). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both A (4) and B (4) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.66) and B (0.601) are above the 0.5 threshold, indicating good drug-like properties. A is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (41.024) is significantly better than Ligand B (53.354). Both are below the 60 threshold, but A has a lower risk.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (69.794) is better than Ligand B (45.832). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor (unlike a GPCR target), higher BBB is generally favorable.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.836) is better than Ligand B (-5.028). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but A is slightly less poor.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.745) is better than Ligand B (-3.199). Both are poor, but A is slightly better.
11. **hERG:** Both A (0.255) and B (0.296) have very low hERG inhibition liability, which is excellent.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (39.648) is better than Ligand B (44.635). Lower is better for metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-0.647) is significantly better than Ligand B (-18.195). A has a longer in vitro half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Both A (0.09) and B (0.108) have low P-gp efflux, which is good.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (0). A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity. However, it has significantly worse metabolic stability (t1/2) and solubility, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties overall, but a significantly weaker binding affinity.
**Decision:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the substantial drawbacks in metabolic stability, solubility, and DILI risk are concerning. The difference in binding affinity (-7.7 vs 0) is large, but not insurmountable with further optimization. Ligand A, while weaker in binding, presents a much more favorable starting point for optimization due to its better ADME profile. It is more likely to be a viable drug candidate *after* further medicinal chemistry efforts to improve its potency.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (388.965 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (361.829 Da), but this isn't a major concern.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (57.7) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption and is also favorable. Ligand B (80.32) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.742, B: 2.212), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.804) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.45), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (76.464) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (56.572), suggesting potential liver toxicity concerns.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (80.419) is better than Ligand B (62.117). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.676 and -4.918), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.416 and -3.168), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.656) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.173), which is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (70.363) has a slightly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (65.64), suggesting slightly lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (68.784) has a slightly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (63.603), which is a minor advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.347, B: 0.094).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.6 kcal/mol and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to be a deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. While both have issues with solubility and permeability, Ligand A demonstrates a significantly better QED score, lower DILI risk, and lower hERG inhibition liability. These factors are crucial for overall drug safety and developability, especially for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly better BBB penetration is a bonus. Although Ligand B has a marginally longer half-life, the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh this.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (391.27 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (356.407 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (53.76) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and suitable for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B (98.58) is higher, but still within a reasonable range, although potentially impacting absorption slightly more.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.48) is optimal. Ligand B (2.111) is a bit lower, potentially impacting permeability, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (3 HBD, 7 HBA) is also reasonable, but the higher number of HBD/HBA could slightly reduce permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.723, B: 0.665), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (84.684) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (53.276). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.964) is higher than Ligand B (34.277), but this is not a primary factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.423) is better than Ligand B (-5.683), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.617 and -3.511 respectively). This is a significant drawback for both, but formulation strategies might mitigate this.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.669) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.47), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.949) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (29.168), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a concern for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-6.781) has a significantly shorter half-life than Ligand A (32.616), indicating faster metabolism. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.507) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.055), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the highest priority for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from a high DILI risk and a very short half-life. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better half-life, better permeability, lower P-gp efflux, lower hERG), but a weaker binding affinity.
Considering the significant potency advantage of Ligand B, and the potential to mitigate the DILI risk through structural modifications (e.g., adding a solubilizing group or modifying the structure to reduce reactive metabolites), I believe Ligand B is the more promising starting point for drug development. The short half-life is also addressable through structural modifications.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.895 and -5.036), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be difficult to interpret directly.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.523 and -3.801), also unusual and suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.261) shows a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.934) has a higher hERG risk, which is a concern.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (93.358) has a high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (76.498) is better, but still relatively high.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-38.962) has a very short in vitro half-life, further confirming poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (26.452) has a better, but still not ideal, half-life.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from high DILI risk, high microsomal clearance, and a short half-life. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and slightly better metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is extremely weak.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the fact that the affinity difference is so large (7.6 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol), I would prioritize Ligand A *despite* its ADME liabilities. The poor ADME properties could potentially be addressed through further medicinal chemistry optimization, but it's much harder to improve a weak binder. The strong binding of Ligand A suggests it has a good starting point for optimization.

For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** Ligand A has a slightly better affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand A has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** Ligand A has slightly better solubility.
* **hERG Risk:** Ligand A has a lower hERG risk.
* **DILI:** Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk.
* **LogP/Permeability:** Ligand B has a very low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a major drawback.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the higher DILI risk, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. The superior affinity, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG profile outweigh the DILI concern, especially as DILI risk can be further mitigated through structural modifications. The extremely low logP and permeability of Ligand B are significant liabilities that would be very difficult to overcome.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.769 and 0.771).
**DILI:** Ligand A (25.126) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (44.552), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.641) has good BBB penetration, while Ligand B (94.921) is even better. However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.733) has better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.321).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.136) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-5.491). This is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have the same hERG risk (0.42), which is acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (44.198) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (62.922), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.509) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-2.777), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have the same P-gp efflux liability (0.023).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, better metabolic stability, longer half-life, better Caco-2 permeability), Ligand B exhibits a significantly higher binding affinity. Given that we are targeting an enzyme (SRC kinase), potency is paramount. The 1.5 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is a substantial advantage that likely outweighs the slightly higher logP, higher DILI, and lower metabolic stability of Ligand B.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.621, B: 0.767), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 61.962, which is considered high risk. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 30.826, which is good. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (48.662) and Ligand B (73.75) are both relatively low, but not critical in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values could be experimental errors or indicate active efflux.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.635, B: 0.516), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a high microsomal clearance (84.451), indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much lower clearance (-25.8), suggesting good metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of 23.745 hours, which is reasonable. Ligand B has a very short half-life of 10.671 hours, which is a drawback.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.799 and 0.744), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (86.545) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (97.325). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB score (34.936) than Ligand A (18.069), but it's not a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.143) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.662) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.749 and -4.806). This is a major drawback for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.038) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.143) is slightly higher but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-17.471) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (7.434), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-22.405) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (6.276), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.034 and 0.102).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.8 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.511 and 386.905 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.85) is significantly better than Ligand B (83.56). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred for enzymes. Ligand A is much closer to the ideal range.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 7 HBA). Lower numbers are generally preferred for better permeability, and Ligand A is more favorable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.551 and 0.697), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (23.381) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.515). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (77.705 and 78.907). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the calculation or data quality. However, the values are similar (-4.852 and -4.91).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again suggesting potential data quality issues. The values are also similar (-2.623 and -2.733).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.366) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.568), which is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (52.283) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.726), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (18.772) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-17.038). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.108 and 0.155).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it is still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in TPSA, H-bond characteristics, DILI risk, and hERG risk. However, Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and has a slightly better binding affinity. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and potency are crucial. The longer half-life of Ligand B is a significant advantage, and the slightly better binding affinity further strengthens its case. The DILI risk of Ligand A is appealing, but can potentially be addressed through structural modifications.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-40.502 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not realistic. Ligand B (-6.218 hours) is also negative, but less so. Both are problematic, but A is worse.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.113 and 0.054), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-9.1 and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.1 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a slight edge in binding affinity, TPSA, and significantly better microsomal clearance. However, it has a higher DILI risk, negative and worse in vitro half-life, and lower solubility. Ligand B has a much better DILI profile and a slightly better in vitro half-life, but worse TPSA and clearance.
Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors (to ensure sufficient exposure) and the acceptable DILI risk of Ligand B, I would favor **Ligand B**. The slight advantage in binding affinity of Ligand A is unlikely to overcome its metabolic liabilities and solubility issues. The negative half-life values for both are concerning and require further investigation, but Ligand B's other properties are more promising.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.35) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (92.01) is also below the threshold, but closer to it.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.831) is at the higher end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (1.554) is at the lower end. Ligand A's higher logP could potentially lead to off-target effects or solubility issues, but is still within acceptable limits.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1 & 2 respectively) and HBA (5) counts.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.74 and 0.741).
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 63.513, placing it in the higher risk category (>60). Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 37.999, which is favorable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (74.292) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (32.028), but this isn't a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.576 and -4.907), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.72 and -1.647). This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.535) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.311), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (91.347) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.629). This indicates lower metabolic stability for Ligand A, which is undesirable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (68.198) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (37.2), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.749 and 0.113).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-9.4 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.4 kcal/mol), but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't dramatically outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly better half-life of Ligand A doesn't compensate for its higher DILI and lower metabolic stability. The binding affinity difference is not substantial enough to favor Ligand A given the ADME concerns.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A excels in affinity and metabolic stability, while Ligand B has a lower hERG risk. However, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.6 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) and the significantly lower DILI risk of Ligand A outweigh the hERG advantage of Ligand B. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can be addressed through formulation.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of 2.4 kcal/mol is considerable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. However, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly regarding DILI risk, hERG inhibition, solubility, and Caco-2 permeability. While the difference in binding affinity is substantial, the improved safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Ligand A make it a more promising starting point for drug development. The lower DILI and hERG risks are particularly important. The slightly longer half-life of Ligand B is a minor advantage, but not enough to overcome the other significant drawbacks.

**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) is preferable to Ligand B (0), as some H-bond donors can aid solubility.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 6 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.751 and 0.731), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (21.171) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (61.691), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (72.431) is higher, but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but Ligand A (-5.631) is worse than Ligand B (-5.342).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility, with Ligand A (-1.487) being slightly better than Ligand B (-1.59).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.258) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.376), but both are acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-16.779) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (7.121), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (34.77) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-5.443), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both are very low (0.019 and 0.064), suggesting minimal P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.6 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a substantial benefit and can outweigh some ADME concerns.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.64) is better than Ligand B (47.1). Both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.795) is optimal. Ligand B (0.337) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) is good. Ligand B (0) is also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) is good. Ligand B (4) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.853 and 0.727), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.261) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (16.479), which is preferable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (29.508) has a low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (69.639) has a higher BBB penetration, which is not particularly relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.86 and -4.593). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values are not directly comparable without knowing the base of the logarithm.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.105) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-0.437), though both are poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.521 and 0.408).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.316 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-13.797 mL/min/kg). Negative clearance is not physically possible, so this value for Ligand B is likely an error or an artifact of the prediction method. This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.335 hours) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. Ligand B (-21.255 hours) also has a negative half-life, indicating issues with the prediction.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.171 and 0.012).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable half-life and clearance predictions, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol vs -6.7 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. This difference in potency is likely to outweigh the slightly lower solubility and potential permeability issues. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A is a positive, but the binding affinity difference is more critical for an enzyme target. The negative values for Caco-2 and half-life are concerning and would require experimental validation, but the potency advantage of B is too significant to ignore.

**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have excellent binding affinity and low toxicity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better permeability (Caco-2).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.459 and 348.403 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.44) is better than Ligand B (102.74). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.483) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.627) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are acceptable, below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.769 and 0.785), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.339) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (32.842). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (74.486 and 71.811), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation, but doesn't immediately disqualify either.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, further investigation is needed, but doesn't immediately disqualify either.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.289) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.16). This is a crucial advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.362) has a better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-43.109). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.449) has a slightly better (less negative) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-2.376).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liabilities (0.084 and 0.007).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, and can be overcome by other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADMET properties, specifically lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). These factors are prioritized for enzyme inhibitors. The slightly lower affinity of Ligand A can potentially be optimized in subsequent rounds of medicinal chemistry, while mitigating the ADMET liabilities of Ligand B would be more challenging.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.558) is better than Ligand B (0.011), meaning Ligand A is less likely to be pumped out by P-gp.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and favorable permeability/solubility parameters, but suffers from higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) but weaker binding affinity and poorer permeability/solubility.
Given that SRC is an enzyme, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are key. The 1.2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While Ligand A's metabolic stability is a concern, it might be addressable through structural modifications. The DILI risk is also a concern, but could potentially be mitigated. Ligand B's affinity is simply too weak to be a promising starting point, even with its better safety profile.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBAs, while Ligand B has 6. The higher HBA count in B could impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.839 and 0.722), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (49.283 and 52.191), below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (79.682) shows moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (19.465) is very low. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but it's a point in A's favor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.554 and -4.951), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.877 and -1.501), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.573) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.245), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.919) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-28.634) has a *negative* clearance. Negative clearance is not physically possible and suggests an error in the data or a very unusual metabolic profile. However, it effectively means very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (31.323) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (26.904) is also acceptable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.487 and 0.02).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite both compounds having issues with solubility and permeability, Ligand B's *much* stronger binding affinity (-9.5 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. The negative microsomal clearance is also a very positive sign, although it warrants further investigation. While the low logP and high TPSA are concerns, the potency advantage is likely to outweigh these drawbacks, especially for an enzyme target where high affinity is paramount. Ligand A's slightly better solubility and lower hERG risk are not enough to compensate for the weaker binding.

While Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and slightly better solubility and permeability, the substantially stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.4 vs -9.4 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. The improved binding affinity of Ligand B is likely to outweigh the ADME drawbacks, especially if formulation strategies can be employed to address the solubility and permeability issues.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (98.74) is higher than Ligand B (58.64). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is better positioned for oral absorption due to its lower TPSA.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (0.272) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.686) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (1) is even better, potentially improving permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, which is acceptable.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.512 and 0.678), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.75) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.169) is even worse. This is a significant drawback for both, but more so for Ligand B.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.245 and 0.458), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.172) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (48.851), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-27.856) has a very long in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (3.295) is short. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.012 and 0.286).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-7.8 and -7.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better logP and TPSA, which are important for permeability. However, it has significantly worse solubility and metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life) compared to Ligand A. The very poor solubility of Ligand B is a major concern. While Ligand A has a low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability, its excellent metabolic stability and long half-life are highly desirable for an enzyme inhibitor. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the deciding factor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (333.435 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability, while Ligand B (375.481 Da) is still well within the acceptable range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.94) is better than Ligand B (57.61). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but lower TPSA generally favors better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values around 4 (A: 4.786, B: 4.038), which is approaching the upper limit of the optimal range. This could potentially lead to solubility issues, but is not a major concern at this stage.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.654, B: 0.663), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (26.328) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (54.556). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (80.031) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (57.852). While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.926 and -4.54). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values might be experimental artifacts or indicate a specific transport mechanism.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.984 and -3.296). This is also concerning and suggests poor aqueous solubility, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.935) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.726), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (77.76) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (47.052), meaning Ligand A is more metabolically stable. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.458) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and likely an experimental error. Ligand B (4.655) has a short half-life, but is at least a plausible value.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.81) has slightly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.506).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, as a 1.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol vs -9.6 kcal/mol) and its much lower DILI risk (26.328 vs 54.556) make it the more promising candidate. The higher BBB penetration is also a plus. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a red flag and suggests experimental issues. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability, the potency and safety profile of Ligand B are more favorable for further development as an SRC kinase inhibitor.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A boasts a significantly better binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2) are major concerns. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, exhibits much better metabolic stability, lower DILI risk, and acceptable permeability and solubility. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety (DILI) for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial affinity difference being 2.1 kcal/mol, I believe the superior binding affinity of Ligand A outweighs its drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.455 and 346.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is significantly better than Ligand B (86.88). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this range, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.38 and 2.423, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is slightly better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=3) regarding the number of hydrogen bond donors, being closer to the ideal of <=5. Both are within the HBA limit of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.805) has a substantially higher QED score than Ligand B (0.675), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, low DILI risk (34.703 and 35.673 percentile), suggesting minimal liver injury potential.
**BBB:** Ligand A (92.594) has a much higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (71.733). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is rarely detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.373) has a better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.969), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.861 and -4.098). This is a significant concern for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.687) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.392), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (56.755) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (89.152), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.702) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-13.806), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.162) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand A (0.357), which is a positive attribute.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a *major* advantage for Ligand A. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
The critical factor is the binding affinity. Ligand A's -9.3 kcal/mol is dramatically better than Ligand B's 0.0 kcal/mol. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and P-gp efflux, the potency difference is so large that it outweighs these advantages. The solubility is poor for both, but can be addressed through formulation. The hERG risk is acceptable for Ligand A.

**DILI:** Ligand B (20.396) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (32.881), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand B (73.866) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (61.497), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.662 and -4.423), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.556 and -0.944), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.395) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.506), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility profiles of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.1 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) and lower DILI risk (20.4 vs 32.9) are major advantages. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better half-life also contribute to its favorability. While Ligand A has a slightly better QED and hERG profile, the potency difference is too large to ignore. Further work would be needed to improve the solubility and permeability of Ligand B, but its strong binding affinity makes it a better starting point.

**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (63.086 and 74.758), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values are relative. Ligand A (-4.489) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.945).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again indicating poor solubility. Ligand B (-2.17) is slightly better than Ligand A (-3.945).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.181 and 0.147), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (35.797) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (86.254), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-6.526) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.455), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.266 and 0.11).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better TPSA and logP, Ligand B is superior overall due to its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk. The binding affinities are comparable, making the ADME properties the deciding factor. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity (DILI) are crucial.

**BBB:** Ligand A (55.099) has moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (3.218) has very low BBB penetration. This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.525) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.86) is even worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-6.806) has poor solubility. Ligand B (0.601) has very poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.713) has a low hERG risk, which is good. Ligand B (0.037) has a very low hERG risk, even better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.12) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-28.17) has negative clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (109.827) has a good half-life. Ligand B (-11.598) has a negative half-life, which is not realistic and indicates a potential issue with the data or the molecule's stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have a Pgp efflux score of 0.532 and 0.001, respectively, indicating high efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-9.8). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity and a reasonable half-life, but suffers from very high DILI risk and poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has excellent safety profiles (low DILI, low hERG) and very high metabolic stability, but has a significantly weaker binding affinity and very poor solubility/permeability. The negative values for Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and half-life for Ligand B raise concerns about data quality.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) is crucial. While Ligand A's DILI risk is concerning, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.0 vs -9.8 kcal/mol) is likely to outweigh the other drawbacks, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The negative values for Ligand B suggest potential issues with the data or the molecule itself.

**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (83.327) is higher than Ligand A (61.458), but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.688 and -4.906), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.646 and -2.522). This is a major concern for *in vivo* efficacy.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.833) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.316), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (80.004) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (2.126), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.931) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the compound's stability. Ligand A (78.049) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.636) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.04), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 2.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh many other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-9.5 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. Furthermore, it has a much lower DILI risk (18.379 vs 61.031) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While the negative half-life is a data quality concern, the other factors strongly favor Ligand B. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the strong binding and improved safety profile make Ligand B the better starting point.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar, high QED values (0.809 and 0.821), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 60.178, which is approaching the higher risk threshold. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 20.047, a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (around 60%), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again unusual and suggesting poor solubility. The scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.051) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.788) is higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a negative Cl_mic (-4.2), which is not physically possible. This is a red flag. Ligand B has a Cl_mic of 46.567, which is high, indicating faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a very short half-life (-9.717 hours), which is not physically possible. Ligand B has a short half-life of 2.258 hours.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-9.2 and -9.5 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand B is significantly more promising. Ligand A has physically impossible values for Cl_mic and t1/2, indicating issues with the data or the molecule itself. Ligand B has a much better logP, lower DILI risk, and while its metabolic stability and half-life are not ideal, they are at least plausible. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other factors make Ligand B the better candidate.

**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (37.681) has higher microsomal clearance, indicating faster metabolism. Ligand B (-2.864) has negative clearance, which is unusual and suggests *very* high metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (39.068) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (-6.542) has a very long half-life.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.319 and 0.072).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B excels in affinity and metabolic stability, while Ligand A has poor affinity and moderate metabolic stability. Ligand A's high logP and poor solubility are also concerning.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-6.8 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher TPSA. The exceptional metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic, very long half-life) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. While both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, the potency and stability of Ligand B make it much more likely to succeed.

**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (Ligand A: 57.697, Ligand B: 53.509), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.153 and -4.782 respectively). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.089) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.68), which is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (81.709) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (13.047), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major concern.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (37.709) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-3.618), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.025) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.338), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a very significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, a longer half-life, and a better QED score. However, it suffers from higher logP, higher microsomal clearance, and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has a much better hERG profile and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is very weak and its solubility is very poor.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.176) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-17.331) has negative clearance, which is not possible and likely indicates an error or extrapolation issue. However, assuming it means very low clearance, it suggests much better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (76.464) has a good half-life. Ligand B (23.064) has a shorter half-life, which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.552) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.171), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.1 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
The primary deciding factor is the extremely high DILI risk associated with Ligand A. While its binding affinity is much better, the liver toxicity risk is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (DILI) and better metabolic stability (inferred from the negative Cl_mic), despite a weaker binding affinity. The solubility issues are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial.

**DILI:** Ligand B (90.733) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (60.644). This is a major concern, as liver toxicity is a common reason for drug failure.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (93.68) is much higher than Ligand B (34.626), but this is not a primary driver in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.635) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.118), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.919) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.954). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-26.494) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-6.799). This is a positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.079) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.25), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.4 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as potency is paramount for kinase inhibitors. The 2 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. Its superior binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better TPSA, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the longer half-life of Ligand B. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the strong affinity and favorable ADME properties of Ligand A make it the better choice.

9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.107) and B (-4.355) are both negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.555) and B (-2.609) are both negative values, again making interpretation difficult without knowing the scale.
11. **hERG:** A (0.175) is very good, indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. B (0.969) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (37.594) is better than B (47.266) - lower clearance suggests better metabolic stability.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** B is significantly better.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is better (lower Cl_mic), but B has a much longer half-life which is a strong counterpoint.
* **Solubility:** Both are difficult to assess due to the negative scale values.
* **hERG:** A is better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has some advantages in terms of metabolic stability and hERG risk, the *much* stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.5 vs -6.2 kcal/mol) and its significantly longer half-life outweigh these drawbacks. The slightly higher logP of B is a potential concern, but the excellent DILI score and good BBB penetration are positives. The solubility and Caco-2 values are hard to interpret. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to make B the more promising candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B boasts a superior binding affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk, poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic), and lower in vitro half-life are major concerns. Ligand A, despite its weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable ADME profile with lower DILI, better metabolic stability, and a longer half-life. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved safety and pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate, even with the affinity difference.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.774) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.421), but both are relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (59.244) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.366), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (89.403) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (4.955), which is a positive attribute.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.358) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.064), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The extremely high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a deal-breaker. Ligand B has a better logP, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and slightly better binding affinity. The longer half-life of Ligand A is a positive, but doesn't outweigh the significant DILI risk. Given the focus on enzymes, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are critical.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 347.507 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.67) is better than Ligand B (53.4), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (though this isn't a priority for SRC).
**logP:** Both ligands have a logP of approximately 2.2, which is optimal (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits (<=5 and <=10 respectively).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.816 and 0.887), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (14.308) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (44.126). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (68.282) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (52.268), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.904) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.108). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.408) has a slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.561). Both are poor, but A is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.24) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.524). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (32.57) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (60.574), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (28.747) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (7.877). This is another significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.1) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.02). This is a slight advantage for Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is the most important factor, and the 7.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.39 and 353.46 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (95.81) is better than Ligand B (112.73), being closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (0.213 and 0.261) are quite low. While not drastically outside the 1-3 range, they are on the lower end and could potentially impact permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 4 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.703) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.489), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (5.273) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (53.432), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively low BBB penetration (43.583 and 49.011). This is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.118 and -5.525), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.648 and -1.345), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.18) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.233), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.677) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (2.904), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-14.027) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a major issue with the data or the compound's stability. Ligand A (10.821) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.022 and 0.016).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better DILI score and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, its half-life is nonsensical. Ligand A has a better QED score and a reasonable half-life but a significantly higher DILI risk. The poor solubility and permeability are major concerns for both. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a showstopper, even with the better DILI and Cl_mic. While Ligand A has a higher DILI risk, it's a known parameter that could be addressed through structural modifications. The negative half-life suggests a fundamental instability issue with Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.451 and 351.447 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (94.22 and 95.67) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but not optimized for CNS penetration (target <90 A^2). This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.599) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.958) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.813 and 0.783), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (29.081) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (39.434), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less important for SRC, but Ligand A (55.797) has slightly better BBB penetration than Ligand B (44.979).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.208) and Ligand B (-4.779) both have negative values, suggesting poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.898 and -2.184) indicating poor solubility, a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.128) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.372), a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-18.025) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.043), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.229) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-2.958), which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.016 and 0.138).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol), but the difference is not substantial enough to overcome the significant ADME liabilities of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have solubility and permeability issues, Ligand A demonstrates a significantly better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG risk) and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The slightly better affinity of Ligand B does not outweigh these critical advantages. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues through formulation or further structural modifications would be the next steps for Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.523 and 368.825 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is significantly better than Ligand B (124.42). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B is pushing the limit.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (3.783) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.327) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferred over Ligand B (3). Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) is better than Ligand B (4).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.839 and 0.71), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (37.999) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.348), which is approaching a moderate risk.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (77.084) is better than Ligand B (57.193).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. However, the scale is not provided, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is not provided.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.504) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.139). This is a significant advantage.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.527) has a higher (worse) clearance than Ligand B (-25.392). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.636) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-9.378).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both are very low (0.38 and 0.009), suggesting minimal P-gp efflux.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, and better metabolic stability and half-life. However, it suffers from poor logP, higher TPSA, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties (logP, TPSA, DILI, hERG), but its binding affinity is very weak.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme class), potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The 1.8 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While Ligand B's ADME properties are less ideal, optimization efforts could focus on improving these while retaining the strong binding affinity. The poor logP and TPSA are the biggest concerns, but these are often addressable through chemical modifications. The DILI risk is moderate but manageable. Ligand A's weak binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, regardless of its better ADME profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.503 and 357.451 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and even favorable. Ligand B (96.97) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.733) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.757) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, though not severely.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA) is still acceptable, but higher.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.848) is very good, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.492) is below the 0.5 threshold, suggesting a less favorable drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (20.318) has a very low DILI risk. Ligand B (27.259) is also relatively low, but higher than Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.194) is better than Ligand B (58.007), but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.365) and Ligand B (-5.347) are both negative, which is unusual. Lower (more negative) values suggest poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible and don't necessarily indicate a complete barrier.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.158) and Ligand B (-1.363) are both negative, which is also unusual. Lower (more negative) values suggest poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.397 and 0.279 respectively).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.863) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (27.8) has significantly lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.816 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-24.871 hours) has a negative half-life, which is likely an error in the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.092 and 0.013 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While its QED is lower and logP is slightly suboptimal, the strong affinity and metabolic stability are crucial for an enzyme target. The negative half-life for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error. If corrected, it would further strengthen the case for Ligand B. Ligand A has better solubility and a higher QED, but the weaker binding and moderate clearance are drawbacks.

**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a better QED and longer half-life, Ligand B's overwhelmingly stronger binding affinity (-8.2 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are decisive. The lower DILI and hERG risk are also beneficial. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. The shorter half-life is a drawback, but the potency may allow for more frequent dosing.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.471 and 346.387 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (66.84) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and even better for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B (106.66) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.787) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.983) is below 1, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.847) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.59) is acceptable but less desirable.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.728) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (27.608) also has a low DILI risk, but slightly lower.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (73.284) is better than Ligand B (43.583).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.791) and Ligand B (-5.288) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and direct comparison is difficult without knowing the scale's specifics.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.596) and Ligand B (-1.983) both have negative solubility values, suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.068 and 0.047), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.101) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-15.715) has a negative clearance, which is highly favorable, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar and negative half-lives (-8.151 and -8.596), which is unusual and requires further investigation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.085 and 0.01).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.2 and -7.1 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a major deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B** is the more promising candidate. While both have good potency and low hERG risk, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic) and a slightly lower DILI risk. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the superior metabolic stability outweighs this drawback for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning and would need to be investigated further, but the overall profile of Ligand B is more favorable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has several advantages: better TPSA, lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2, and lower P-gp efflux. However, its higher DILI risk and poor Caco-2 permeability are significant concerns. Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from higher Cl_mic and shorter t1/2.
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) of Ligand A outweighs the slightly better affinity of Ligand B. The DILI risk of Ligand A is concerning, but could potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The poor solubility is a problem for both, but formulation strategies could be explored.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (386.543 and 376.806 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (101.05) is better than Ligand B (37.49) as it is still within the acceptable range for oral absorption (<140), while Ligand B is quite low.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.482) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (4.434) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=7) and Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=3) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.795, B: 0.838), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (66.382) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (47.732), which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (90.035) is higher than Ligand A (70.803). This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.635) has a lower Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.631).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.769) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.765).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.256) has a significantly lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.939), a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.16 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (29.759 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (25.948 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-6.38 hours), indicating better duration of action.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.118) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.754), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.3 vs -6.1 kcal/mol). However, it suffers from a higher logP, a higher hERG risk, and significantly higher microsomal clearance and lower in vitro half-life. Ligand A is better in terms of safety (DILI, hERG), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and P-gp efflux. The difference in binding affinity is substantial (2.2 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, this is often the most critical factor. While Ligand A's ADME properties are better, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to outweigh these concerns, especially with potential for optimization of the ADME profile.

**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, and Ligand B has 5, both are below the 10 limit.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.724 and 0.848), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both have acceptable DILI risk (49.864 and 51.338, respectively), well below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (53.432 and 52.579), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.713 and -5.214). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.311 and -0.917). This is also concerning, suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.155 and 0.126).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a significantly lower (better) Cl_mic (-7.349) compared to Ligand B (15.245). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life (14.92 hours) than Ligand B (-3.571 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.153 and 0.013).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (418.32) is slightly higher than Ligand B (359.411), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.84) is better than Ligand B (121.18) as it is closer to the threshold for good oral absorption (<=140).
**logP:** Ligand A (4.823) is high, potentially causing solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (0.376) is quite low, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=5) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=6) as it is closer to the ideal range.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.624, B: 0.681), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have high DILI risk (A: 88.019, B: 83.443), which is a concern. However, this can be addressed in later optimization stages.
**BBB:** Ligand A (76.735) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (45.909), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a major worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.803) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.595).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.704) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.135).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.521) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.385), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (54.794) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-6.554). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is a significant advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (48.082) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-26.371), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.559) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.017), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher logP and lower solubility, its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -7.6 kcal/mol) and better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) make it the more promising candidate. The affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility and logP issues through formulation or further optimization. Ligand B's poor metabolic stability is a major drawback.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (368.455 and 338.411 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (112.57) is slightly above the optimal <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (75.19) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.811 and 2.128), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.648 and 0.927), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is superior here.
**DILI:** Ligand A (63.862) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (49.399), though both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (57.774) is higher than Ligand A (47.111), but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and direct comparison is difficult without knowing the scale's specifics.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again suggesting poor solubility. Similar to Caco-2, the scale is unknown.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.051) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.357) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.202) has lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is a key priority for enzymes. Ligand B (15.426) is higher, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-35.163) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (6.942) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.009 and 0.03), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better hERG and potentially better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), the significant advantage in binding affinity for Ligand B (-8.4 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The better QED score and more reasonable half-life for Ligand B also contribute to its favorability. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful in early-stage optimization. The impossible half-life for Ligand A is a red flag.

**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (0) is also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (3) are within the acceptable range of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.46 and 0.624), indicating reasonable drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (32.842 and 33.307), which is good.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.229) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (62.233), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.377) is significantly worse than Ligand B (-4.965).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.71) is better than Ligand B (-5.259), which is a significant advantage for *in vivo* activity.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.097) is much lower (better) than Ligand B (0.834), reducing cardiotoxicity concerns.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (26.043) has significantly lower clearance than Ligand B (145.814), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.218) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (3.379), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.039) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.839), improving bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6), but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it is not a deciding factor.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is superior due to its better solubility, significantly lower hERG risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity and Caco-2 permeability, the ADME properties of Ligand A are far more favorable for development as an enzyme inhibitor. The solubility and metabolic stability advantages are particularly important for SRC kinase inhibition.

Ligand B boasts a considerably stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its high DILI risk (84.645) is a major red flag. Its metabolic stability is also poor (high Cl_mic). Ligand A, while having a weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable safety profile (very low DILI) and better metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability issues are similar for both, but the difference in DILI and metabolic stability is substantial. For an enzyme target, prioritizing metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity are crucial. While the affinity difference is significant, it might be possible to improve Ligand A's affinity through further optimization without drastically altering its favorable ADME properties. The high DILI risk of Ligand B makes it a less viable starting point.

**Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.038 and 0.213), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-24.383) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.154), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.112) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-1.37), though both are negative values which is strange.
**P-gp:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol), which is excellent and the most important factor.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is superior due to its better QED, significantly lower DILI risk, and slightly better logP and BBB. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and half-life, but the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a significant concern. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk of Ligand B outweighs the slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand A.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 7 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.835) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.715), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (78.054) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (57.154). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but this isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. This is concerning, but the low logP values likely contribute to this.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.081) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.274). This is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.683) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.063), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.412 hours) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-8.167 hours - a negative value is unusual and suggests very rapid degradation).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol), although the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. While both have issues with logP and solubility, Ligand A excels in crucial areas: lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and a better QED score. The slightly better binding affinity further supports its selection. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modification, but Ligand A provides a much stronger starting point.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (77.3 and 78.87) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.169 and 1.019), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which *could* indicate a slight solubility advantage, but isn't a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.84 and 0.788), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively low DILI risk (20.396 and 23.769), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (73.788 and 74.176), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.608 and -4.705). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, Caco-2 values can be unreliable and are less important than other factors for kinase inhibitors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.391 and -1.63). This is concerning, as poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.613 and 0.315), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 6.233 mL/min/kg, while Ligand B has a negative value of -6.212 mL/min/kg. A negative value for Cl_mic is not physically meaningful and suggests a potential issue with the data or model. Assuming the positive value is more reliable, Ligand A has a better metabolic stability profile.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-1.026 hours), which is impossible. Ligand B has a half-life of 7.505 hours, which is a good sign. Again, the negative value for Ligand A is a red flag.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.053 and 0.042).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.5 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable solubility and Caco-2 values for both, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, the negative and unrealistic values for half-life and clearance for Ligand A raise concerns about the reliability of its predicted ADME properties. Ligand B's positive half-life is a strong indicator of better metabolic stability.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (67.79 and 67.87) are reasonably low, suggesting good potential for cell permeability, though not optimized for CNS penetration.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.23) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.108) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (1) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (4) are well within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.769 and 0.73), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.24) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (21.481) has a low DILI risk. This favors Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (80.613) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (34.626), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.854 and -4.684), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.887 and -2.96), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.762) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.213), favoring Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (8.139 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (41.262 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (5.08 hours) has a much shorter half-life than Ligand A (23.258 hours). While a longer half-life is generally preferred, the significant difference in clearance is more impactful.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.605) has higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.055), which is unfavorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the shorter half-life. The stronger binding affinity is particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues would be critical in further development, but Ligand B provides a better starting point.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and even better for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B (108.41) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.387) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-1.797) is below 1, which could hinder permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is excellent. Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=6) is acceptable, but higher HBA could slightly impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.687 and 0.543, respectively), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (30.748 and 34.432), which is positive.
**BBB:** Ligand A (87.088) has a good BBB score, although SRC is not a CNS target, it's not detrimental. Ligand B (18.147) is very low, which is not a concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.567) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.035) is also poor. This is a potential issue for both, but less critical for a kinase inhibitor that might be developed for IV administration.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.425) is poor, while Ligand B (-0.772) is also poor. This is a concern for both, potentially impacting bioavailability if oral administration is desired.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.656 and 0.096), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.315) is moderate, while Ligand B (-0.365) is very low, suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.965) is reasonable, while Ligand B (-14.641) is very long, further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.294 and 0.011).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.0 and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better (-8.6 vs -8.0), but the difference is small.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good potency, Ligand B is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better binding affinity. The lower logP and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand B are drawbacks, but less critical for a kinase inhibitor, and could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or prodrug approaches. The solubility is also a concern for both, but Ligand B is slightly better.

While Ligand A has better Caco-2 permeability and P-gp efflux, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.2 vs -7.3 kcal/mol), much lower DILI risk (12.292 vs 60.954), and longer half-life (11.497 vs -9.888) are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern that could potentially be addressed through further optimization. The higher QED of Ligand B is also a positive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.467 and 346.427 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (63.05) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below the 90 for CNS targets. Ligand B (89.87) is still within the acceptable range for oral absorption (<140), but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.22) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (1.6) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 4 HBA) both meet the guidelines of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.532 and 0.707), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (83.598) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (39.473). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.078) has a slightly higher BBB penetration than Ligand B (42.226), but it's not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.918 and -4.865), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This needs further investigation, but is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.8 and -2.355), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.796) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.347), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (124.331) has a higher microsomal clearance, suggesting lower metabolic stability, compared to Ligand B (20.475). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-5.106) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (22.796), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.638) has slightly lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.273), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability for both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.1 vs -8.6 kcal/mol), lower DILI risk (39.473 vs 83.598), and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) outweigh the slightly higher logP and lower P-gp efflux. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the superior potency and safety profile of Ligand B make it the better starting point.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.161, B: 0.026), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage and can potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and better TPSA, HBD/HBA counts. However, it has higher microsomal clearance and a shorter half-life, and poor solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and half-life, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a higher DILI risk.
Given that potency is a primary concern for enzyme inhibitors, and the difference in binding affinity is substantial (8.6 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), Ligand A is the more promising candidate *despite* its ADME liabilities. The poor solubility and metabolic stability could be addressed through medicinal chemistry optimization. The large binding affinity advantage is likely to be more impactful than the ADME concerns.

7. **DILI:** A (79.953) has a significantly higher DILI risk than B (22.8). This is a major concern.
8. **BBB:** A (36.371) has poor BBB penetration, while B (70.415) is reasonably good. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but it's a positive for B.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. Again, the scale is unknown.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability, but suffers from poor solubility, permeability, and a borderline high DILI risk. Ligand B has better solubility, permeability, a much lower DILI risk, and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a major advantage. While its ADME properties are not ideal, optimization could potentially address these issues. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B is appealing, but the weaker affinity is a significant drawback.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.064) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.522), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While it has some ADME liabilities (higher logP, higher hERG, higher Cl_mic, lower solubility), the substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.2 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage and likely outweighs these concerns. Ligand A has better ADME properties overall (lower DILI, lower Cl_mic, better hERG), but its weaker binding affinity makes it less likely to be effective.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (372.531 and 344.379 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (92.34) is better than Ligand B (110.83), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but A is closer to the 90 threshold if CNS penetration were a consideration.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.648) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.059) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 8 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.61 and 0.672, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.626) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.723). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are likely indicating very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a potential issue that would need to be addressed during formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.319) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.07), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.39 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.492 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.234 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-4.116 hours). The negative value for B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol), but the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol) and may not be enough to overcome the other ADME deficiencies.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has a marginally better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower hERG inhibition. The solubility and permeability issues are present in both, but the superior safety and stability profile of Ligand A make it the preferred choice for further optimization.

2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (52.65) is significantly better than Ligand B (67.43). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, both are under, but A is preferable.
3. **logP:** Both ligands (1.733 and 1.864) are within the optimal 1-3 range. Again, no significant difference.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (1) is better than Ligand B (2). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both ligands have 3 HBA, which is acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.51 and 0.546), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (4.886) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (12.485). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A. A DILI percentile <40 is good, and A is closer to that.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (79.992) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (53.703). While SRC is not necessarily a CNS target, higher BBB is rarely a detriment.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.87 and -4.905). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are very similar.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.131) has better solubility than Ligand B (-2.733). Better solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.702) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.336). Lower hERG is preferred.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (1.6) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (10.277). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (6.365) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (22.101). Longer half-life is generally preferred, giving B an advantage here.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.028) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.061). Lower P-gp efflux is favorable for bioavailability.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzyme targets like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand A excels in affinity, DILI, Cl_mic, solubility, and hERG. While Ligand B has a longer half-life, the superior affinity and ADME properties of Ligand A outweigh this single advantage. The negative Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the overall profile of A is much more promising.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor solubility, high logP, poor Caco-2 permeability, high DILI risk, high metabolic clearance, and short half-life. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower hERG, lower P-gp efflux, slightly better solubility and permeability) but extremely weak binding affinity.
Despite the ADME concerns, the substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful in the early stages of drug development. Optimization efforts could focus on improving its solubility and metabolic stability without sacrificing potency. The weak binding of Ligand B makes it unlikely to be a viable starting point, even with better ADME properties.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (73.58) is better than Ligand B (89.43). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but lower TPSA is generally preferred.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.848) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.827) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are within the acceptable range (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.775 and 0.763), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.012) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.165), but both are well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.997) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (67.158), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.115) has significantly worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.59). This suggests Ligand A may have poorer intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.539) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.93), which is a positive.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.683) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.118), a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.377) has *much* lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (29.46). This indicates significantly better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (36.299) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-2.105), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.14) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.014), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's slightly worse Caco-2 permeability, its significantly superior binding affinity, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux make it the more promising drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity is large enough to compensate for the permeability concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the enzyme-class guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.407 and 353.423 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (134.07) is slightly higher than Ligand B (107.37). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable due to its lower TPSA.
**logP:** Both ligands (-0.415 and -0.125) are relatively low. While not ideal, they are not excessively low that would preclude permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 7 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.549 and 0.599), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (45.25) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand B (55.176), suggesting a lower risk of liver injury.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (54.866 and 51.299), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-6.273) has slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.409), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.582) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.091).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.041 and 0.069), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-24.459) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-3.026), indicating much greater metabolic stability. This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.896) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (22.03). This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.016 and 0.018).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have identical binding affinity (-8.1 kcal/mol), which is excellent and the most important factor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly better TPSA and in vitro half-life, Ligand A is the superior candidate. The significantly lower microsomal clearance of Ligand A is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, indicating greater metabolic stability and potentially longer duration of action. The slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability also contribute to its favorability. The binding affinity is identical, so the ADME properties are the deciding factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Ligand A (355.463 Da) is within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand B (557.054 Da) is above this range, which could impact permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (112.4) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.884) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (5.932) is significantly higher, potentially causing solubility issues and off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (2 HBD, 8 HBA) is also acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly reduce permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.839) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.218) is poor, suggesting significant issues with its overall drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.586) has a moderate DILI risk, but is acceptable. Ligand B (85.925) has a higher DILI risk, which is concerning.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (71.462) is decent, while Ligand B (19.814) is low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.926) is poor. Ligand B (-5.386) is also poor. Both are problematic.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.332) is poor. Ligand B (-5.551) is even worse. Solubility is a significant concern for both, but more so for Ligand B.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.338) has very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.893) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but is still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (56.254) is good, indicating reasonable metabolic stability. Ligand B (78.436) is higher, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.588 hours) is good. Ligand B (156.03 hours) is excellent.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.287) has low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.945) has higher P-gp efflux, potentially reducing bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from a high molecular weight, poor solubility, high logP, and higher DILI risk. Ligand A has better ADME properties (MW, TPSA, logP, solubility, DILI, P-gp), but its binding affinity is very weak.
Despite the ADME concerns with Ligand B, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.9 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is likely to outweigh the drawbacks, *provided* the solubility issues can be addressed through formulation strategies. The poor Caco-2 permeability is also a concern, but less critical than the binding affinity. Ligand A's weak binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, even with better ADME properties.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.928 and -5.456), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are difficult to interpret without more context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.344 and -4.044), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.037) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.277) has a slightly higher, but still relatively low, risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-20.589) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (75.719), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.743) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error. Ligand B (0.951) has a very short half-life, which is undesirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.003) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.348) has slightly higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.5). The difference is 1.5 kcal/mol, which is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux. However, its logP is very low, potentially causing permeability issues. Its half-life is also an impossible value. Ligand B has a better logP and QED, but suffers from higher DILI risk, poor metabolic stability, and a very short half-life.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), and the significant advantage in binding affinity for Ligand A, I would initially favor Ligand A *if* the half-life value is corrected. The low logP is a concern, but could potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. The DILI risk is also low. The erroneous half-life is a significant red flag, however. Assuming the half-life is a data error, and can be corrected, Ligand A is the better candidate.

**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (Ligand A: 83.831, Ligand B: 89.492), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.568 and -4.752), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.47 and -4.587). This is a major drawback for both compounds.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.131) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.788), which is beneficial for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). The 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is better overall. Despite the poor solubility and permeability (shared by both), it has a superior QED score, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and slightly better binding affinity. The longer half-life of Ligand B is a benefit, but the significantly worse metabolic stability and slightly worse affinity are more concerning for an enzyme target. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but the core properties of Ligand A are more promising.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands (363.439 & 366.477 Da) are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). No significant difference here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (100.55) is slightly higher than Ligand B (33.2). While both are reasonably low, B is much better positioned for good oral absorption.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (2.472) is optimal. Ligand B (4.623) is pushing the upper limit and could potentially lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also fine, but a lack of HBDs can sometimes hinder solubility.
5. **HBA:** Both ligands (A: 6, B: 3) are within the acceptable range (<=10).
6. **QED:** Both ligands (A: 0.685, B: 0.716) have good drug-likeness scores (>0.5).
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (84.102) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (32.299). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Ligand B (86.817) has a higher BBB penetration score than Ligand A (49.903). While not crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a slight advantage.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative values, indicating poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor solubility scores (-3.567 and -3.942). This is a significant drawback for both, but slightly worse for B.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.298 and 0.834), which is good.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (68.914) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (77.238), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (11.306) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (24.208). This is also a positive for metabolic stability and dosing frequency.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have low Pgp efflux liability (0.415 and 0.441).
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.6). This is a substantial advantage (1.5 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. However, its significantly higher DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand B, while having a weaker affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better TPSA. The solubility is poor for both, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies.
Given the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), and the substantial difference in DILI risk, I believe **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate, despite its slightly lower binding affinity. The improved safety and metabolic stability outweigh the affinity difference, especially considering that further optimization of Ligand B could potentially improve its binding.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.419 and 348.422 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.34) is slightly higher than Ligand B (75.16), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.87) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (2.072) is well within it. Ligand A's higher logP *could* lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but isn't immediately disqualifying.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 6 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 3 HBA) both have reasonable numbers of H-bonds, staying within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.726 and 0.748), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (94.649) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (47.732). This is a major red flag for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (73.866) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (19.542).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.035) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.743) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.699) has very poor aqueous solubility, which is concerning. Ligand B (-2.486) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.442 and 0.402), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (26.736) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (57.181), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (86.693) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.395), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.45 and 0.091), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage. However, the other ADME properties of Ligand A are significantly worse.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity, its extremely poor solubility, poor Caco-2 permeability, high DILI risk, and faster clearance make it a less viable candidate. The difference in binding affinity (2.5 kcal/mol) is substantial, but can be overcome with further optimization. Ligand B, despite its weaker binding, has a much more favorable ADME profile, particularly regarding metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and higher t1/2) and safety (lower DILI). For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety are paramount.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Ligand A:**
* **MW:** 382.957 Da - Within the ideal range (200-500).
* **TPSA:** 41.57 A2 - Good for oral absorption (<140).
* **logP:** 4.653 - Slightly high, potential solubility issues, but acceptable.
* **HBD:** 1 - Good.
* **HBA:** 3 - Good.
* **QED:** 0.823 - Excellent drug-likeness.
* **DILI:** 50.136 - Acceptable risk.
* **BBB:** 88.91 - High, but less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
* **Caco-2:** -4.835 - Very poor permeability. A major concern.
* **Solubility:** -4.825 - Very poor solubility. A major concern.
* **hERG:** 0.829 - Low risk.

* **t1/2:** 45.882 hours - Good in vitro half-life.
* **Pgp:** 0.487 - Low efflux, good.
* **Affinity:** -9.0 kcal/mol - Excellent binding affinity.
**Ligand B:**
* **MW:** 356.423 Da - Within the ideal range.
* **TPSA:** 117.79 A2 - Higher, potentially impacting absorption, but still within a reasonable range.
* **logP:** 1.11 - Good.
* **HBD:** 2 - Good.
* **HBA:** 7 - Acceptable.
* **QED:** 0.603 - Good drug-likeness.
* **DILI:** 49.864 - Acceptable risk.
* **BBB:** 58.278 - Lower, not a major concern.
* **Caco-2:** -5.058 - Very poor permeability. A major concern.
* **Solubility:** -1.721 - Poor solubility, but better than Ligand A.
* **hERG:** 0.089 - Very low risk.
* **Cl_mic:** 45.559 mL/min/kg - Good metabolic stability.
* **t1/2:** -7.989 hours - Poor in vitro half-life.
* **Pgp:** 0.069 - Low efflux, good.
* **Affinity:** -7.9 kcal/mol - Good binding affinity, though significantly weaker than Ligand A.
**Comparison and Decision:**
Both compounds suffer from very poor Caco-2 permeability and suboptimal solubility. However, Ligand A has a *much* stronger binding affinity (-9.0 kcal/mol vs -7.9 kcal/mol). The difference in affinity (1.1 kcal/mol) is substantial and could outweigh the permeability/solubility issues, *if* formulation strategies can be developed to address those. Ligand B has a better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic) and a lower hERG risk, but the significantly weaker binding affinity is a major drawback for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The poor half-life of Ligand B is also a concern.
Given the priority for potency in enzyme inhibition, and the potential to mitigate solubility/permeability issues through formulation, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important. While B has a significantly better binding affinity, A has much better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and a lower DILI risk. Solubility is poor for both, but A is slightly better. hERG risk is low for both.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) and lower DILI risk of Ligand A are more critical for a kinase inhibitor. The difference in binding affinity, while substantial, can potentially be overcome with further optimization, whereas improving metabolic stability and reducing toxicity are often more challenging. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.
Therefore, I would select **Ligand A** as the more viable drug candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-0.0) has a much better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of 8.4 kcal/mol is substantial and likely outweighs most of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's advantages in DILI, solubility, metabolic stability, and hERG risk, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol vs -8.4 kcal/mol) makes it the more promising drug candidate. A binding affinity difference of this magnitude is likely to overcome the ADME liabilities of Ligand B, especially given that the issues aren't catastrophic.

1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (381.234) is slightly higher, but acceptable. B (351.407) is also good.
2. **TPSA:** A (58.2) is excellent, well below 140 and favorable for absorption. B (120.58) is higher, but still within a reasonable range for many kinase inhibitors.
3. **logP:** A (4.185) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target interactions. B (-1.072) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
4. **HBD:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (A: 2, B: 3), below the threshold of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (3) is good, B (7) is higher but still within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** A (0.781) is strong, indicating good drug-like properties. B (0.575) is acceptable, but less ideal.
7. **DILI:** A (76.076) has a significantly higher DILI risk than B (33.812). This is a major concern for A.
8. **BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but A (74.098) is better than B (51.803). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.421) is poor, suggesting poor intestinal absorption. B (-5.371) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-5.604) is very poor, consistent with the high logP. B (-1.442) is better, but still indicates low solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.296) has a slightly higher hERG risk than B (0.122), but both are relatively low.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (47.207) has a moderate microsomal clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. B (0.321) has very low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for B.

15. **Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinity (A: -8.3 kcal/mol, B: -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better BBB penetration and comparable binding affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk, poor solubility, and poor Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite its lower logP and poor half-life, exhibits *much* better metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and a significantly lower DILI risk. The improved metabolic stability is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors, and the lower DILI risk is essential for clinical development. The poor half-life of B can be addressed through structural modifications. The poor solubility of both compounds is concerning, but can also be addressed through formulation strategies.
Therefore, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate.

Despite the issues with Caco-2, solubility, and half-life values, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The better TPSA and logP of Ligand A also contribute to its favorability. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better hERG, the potency difference is substantial. The negative half-life for Ligand A is concerning, but could be addressed through structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.475 and 345.443 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (61.88) is better than Ligand B (73.74). Both are below 140, but lower is generally preferred for absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have similar logP values (1.866 and 1.969), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 4 HBA, which is acceptable.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.787 and 0.855), indicating drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (50.291) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (8.453). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (78.131) is better than Ligand A (67.546). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. This suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.626) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.884).
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests very poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.622) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.825).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.465 and 0.167), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (23.727) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (41.238), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-30.25) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (7.134) has a reasonable half-life.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux (0.091 and 0.027), which is good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk and reasonable in vitro half-life. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability, the impossibly negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. The solubility and permeability issues are concerning for both, but the DILI risk is a more immediate concern for drug development.

While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, the strong binding affinity and metabolic stability are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower hERG risk is also a significant advantage. Ligand B's high logP and poor solubility are concerning, and its weaker affinity is a major drawback.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (366.805 and 360.523 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (105.49) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (53.33) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.334) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (4.315) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is acceptable. Ligand B (4) is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.652 and 0.728), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (80.574) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (28.383). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (76.309 and 79.527). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but isn't detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.906 and -4.794). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so the absolute permeability could still be reasonable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.148 and -5.523). This is concerning, as solubility is a key factor for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.282) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.91). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.216) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (95.472), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar in vitro half-lives (36.247 and 35.312 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.111) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.784), suggesting better oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A 1.8 kcal/mol difference is quite large.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.9 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand B has a higher logP and DILI risk, the potency advantage is likely to be decisive. The solubility issues are concerning, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (38.891) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (28.965), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.88 and 76.037), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual. Assuming these are logP values, they are very poor.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values which is unusual. Assuming these are logS values, they are very poor.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition liability (0.751 and 0.794), which is good.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (26.014 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.067 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (53.316 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-22.087 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error, but even if it were positive, Ligand A's half-life is substantially better.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have similar Pgp efflux liability (0.382 and 0.506), which is acceptable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While both ligands have good potency and acceptable safety profiles, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a higher QED score. These factors are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor, as they contribute to sustained target engagement and favorable pharmacokinetic properties. The slight advantage in binding affinity further supports the selection of Ligand A. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility are concerning for both, and would need to be investigated further.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (358.869) is slightly higher than B (345.487), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** Both are above the ideal <140 for good oral absorption, but not dramatically so. A (41.57) is slightly better than B (43.86).
3. **logP:** A (3.669) is optimal (1-3), while B (1.437) is on the lower side, potentially impacting permeability.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is good, B (0) is also acceptable.
5. **HBA:** Both have 3 HBA, which is within the acceptable range.
6. **QED:** A (0.906) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.684) is still reasonable, but less optimal.
7. **DILI:** A (54.711) is better than B (6.747) - both are below 60, indicating low risk.
8. **BBB:** A (57.736) is lower than B (75.805). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but B has an advantage.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. A (-4.885) is worse than B (-4.487).
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. A (-3.981) is worse than B (-1.519).
11. **hERG:** A (0.914) is better than B (0.347) - lower is better, minimizing cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (17.93) is significantly better than B (28.499) - lower clearance means greater metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (1.155) is better than B (-6.384) - longer half-life is generally preferred.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.681) is better than B (0.025) - lower efflux is preferred.
15. **Affinity:** A (-8.6 kcal/mol) is slightly better than B (-7.8 kcal/mol), representing a stronger binding affinity.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A excels in affinity, Cl_mic, t1/2, and hERG. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, A is still better in this regard. The slightly better affinity of A is also significant.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall profile, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. Its superior metabolic stability, better hERG profile, and slightly stronger binding affinity outweigh the slightly lower BBB and poorer permeability compared to Ligand B.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.703, B: 0.819), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (62.233) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (13.571). This is a significant concern for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (88.872) is better than Ligand A (70.88). However, BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.032) has a significantly *better* Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.496).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.2) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.443). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.419) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.607), which is desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.287) has a *much* lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.718). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (7.45) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (2.327). This is a positive for Ligand B, but the difference might be overcome by better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.02, B: 0.163).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very good binding affinities (A: -8.9 kcal/mol, B: -8.5 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly longer half-life and better BBB penetration, Ligand A excels in crucial areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, better solubility, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and better Caco-2 permeability. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A further supports this conclusion. The lower DILI risk is particularly important, as liver toxicity is a common issue in drug development.

However, Ligand B has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and solubility. Ligand A suffers from poor permeability and solubility, while Ligand B has poor permeability. The affinity difference is substantial (0.7 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, this is often a deciding factor. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is valuable, but the potency advantage of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful, especially considering optimization potential to address its permeability and solubility issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.403 and 347.375 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (99.52) is better than Ligand B (104.08), both are acceptable for oral absorption (<140).
**logP:** Ligand A (1.469) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.138) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, but isn't a dealbreaker.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7, and Ligand B has 6, both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both have good QED scores (0.615 and 0.747, respectively), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both have similar DILI risk (60.915 and 61.38), placing them in the moderate risk category. This isn't ideal, but not disqualifying.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.554) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (38.426). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.421) is better than Ligand B (-4.928), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.19) is better than Ligand B (-1.818), indicating better solubility. This is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG risk (0.156 and 0.108), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.704) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-2.545). This means Ligand B is predicted to have better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.923) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (0.0). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux (0.13 and 0.018), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is small (0.3 kcal/mol), it's within the range where it could outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life). While Ligand A has better solubility and Caco-2 permeability, the improved potency and metabolic profile of Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slight decrease in solubility is a manageable concern.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.737) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.368), meaning Ligand B is likely more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (12.633) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (5.878), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.437, Ligand B: 0.064), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (Ligand A: -8.4 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.7 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better in this regard, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slight edge in binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer half-life. However, Ligand A has a much better QED score and a more favorable TPSA. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both, but the QED score of Ligand A is a strong indicator of overall drug-likeness. Considering the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, it is the slightly more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (354.451 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (387.483 Da) is still acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption. Ligand A (107.7) is better than Ligand B (114.46).
**logP:** Both ligands have low logP values (A: 0.102, B: -0.101), which is less than ideal. Low logP can hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 7 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.55, B: 0.659), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.067) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (80.574). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (13.765) is lower than Ligand B (49.011), but this is not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.046, B: 0.049), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.86 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-6.114 mL/min/kg). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (19.955 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (9.646 hours), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.024, B: 0.066), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (A: -8.6 kcal/mol, B: -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity and acceptable QED scores, Ligand A is the better candidate due to its significantly lower DILI risk (13.067 vs 80.574) and longer in vitro half-life (19.955 vs 9.646). Although both have poor predicted permeability and solubility, the lower DILI risk is a critical advantage, especially for an oncology target where chronic administration is often required. The slightly better TPSA of Ligand A is also a minor positive. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is a plus, but the high DILI risk outweighs this benefit.

**DILI:** Both have low DILI risk (29.159 and 32.183), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (67.041 and 65.607). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.634 and -4.746). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values indicate very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.67 and -3.537), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.176 and 0.402), which is highly desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.042 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower clearance than Ligand B (54.685 mL/min/kg). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-15.336 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (-6.805 hours) also has a negative half-life. These values are likely errors or represent a very rapid degradation.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it is within the range where it could outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A appears to be the more promising candidate. The primary reason is its significantly lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Both compounds have poor solubility and permeability, which are major liabilities. The negative half-life values are concerning and need further investigation. However, given the choice between the two, the improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is more critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.04) is better than Ligand B (43.86) as it is still within the acceptable range for oral absorption, while ligand B is significantly lower.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.92 and 2.3), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 0 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.838) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.524), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.703) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (14.23). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (83.443 and 71.888). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the magnitude is similar, so this isn't a major differentiator.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.531) has significantly worse solubility than Ligand B (-1.51). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.201) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.542), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (37.22) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (63.809), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.607) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-6.238), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.374) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.103), which is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a 2.2 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could potentially outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is significantly better in terms of critical ADME properties for an enzyme inhibitor. Specifically, Ligand B has much lower DILI risk, better solubility, and significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). The higher QED score of Ligand A is also a positive, but the solubility and DILI issues are major concerns. The affinity difference, while notable, is likely surmountable with further optimization of Ligand B.

**Ligand A:** [365.401, 46.61, 3.208, 0, 3, 0.821, 72.043, 76.231, -4.411, -5.257, 0.72, 80.369, -3.484, 0.388, -8.8]
**Ligand B:** [358.467, 74.33, 2.109, 2, 4, 0.86, 77.472, 62.97, -4.774, -2.666, 0.143, 34.127, 19.749, 0.117, -7.7]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (365.4) is slightly higher than B (358.5), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (46.61) is good, well below the 140 threshold. B (74.33) is higher, but still within a reasonable range for kinase inhibitors.
3. **logP:** A (3.208) is optimal. B (2.109) is slightly lower, but still acceptable.
4. **HBD:** A (0) is good, minimizing potential issues with hydrogen bonding. B (2) is acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (3) is good. B (4) is acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.821) and B (0.86) have excellent drug-likeness scores.
7. **DILI:** Both A (72.043) and B (77.472) have acceptable DILI risk, below the concerning 60 threshold.
8. **BBB:** A (76.231) is better than B (62.97), but BBB is not a primary concern for SRC kinase, as it's not a CNS target.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.411) is very poor. B (-4.774) is also poor. This suggests potential absorption issues for both, but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor where IV dosing is possible.
10. **Solubility:** A (-5.257) is poor. B (-2.666) is better, but still poor. Solubility is important for kinases, so B has an advantage here.
11. **hERG:** A (0.72) is better than B (0.143), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk. This is a significant advantage for A.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (80.369) is higher than B (34.127), meaning faster metabolic clearance and lower metabolic stability. B is significantly better here.
13. **t1/2:** A (-3.484) is poor. B (19.749) is good. This reinforces the advantage of B in terms of metabolic stability.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.388) is better than B (0.117), suggesting lower P-gp efflux and potentially better bioavailability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.8) is significantly better than B (-7.7), a difference of 1.1 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage, and often outweighs minor ADME concerns.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** A has a much stronger binding affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** B is significantly better (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** B is better, though both are poor.
* **hERG:** A is better.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has better metabolic stability and solubility, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. A 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can often overcome moderate ADME liabilities, especially considering kinases are often amenable to IV administration if oral bioavailability is limited. The better hERG profile of A is also a positive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.411 and 335.367 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.43) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (98.81) is still acceptable but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.109 and 2.751), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.797 and 0.776), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (66.964) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (82.513), but both are above the ideal <40, suggesting potential liver toxicity concerns.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (88.135) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (64.754).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.433) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.148) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.102 and -3.824) which is very concerning. Poor solubility will severely limit bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.552 and 0.453), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (44.641) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.01), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.391) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (7.285).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.5 and 0.189).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other issues.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the solubility issues for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.7 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has slightly better metabolic stability, the difference isn't substantial enough to overcome the huge potency gap. The DILI risk is higher for both, but can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning and would need to be addressed, but the potency of Ligand B makes it a better starting point for optimization.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (76.35) is well below the 140 threshold and favorable for oral absorption. Ligand B (115.89) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (3.174) is within the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand B (-1.601) is significantly below 1, which could hinder permeability.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) and Ligand B (2) both meet the HBD <=5 criteria.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (A: 5, B: 5) are well below the 10 HBA threshold.
**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.873) has a very good QED score, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.458) is below the 0.5 threshold, suggesting a less favorable drug-like profile.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (69.639) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (49.632), but both are below the concerning 60 percentile.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (72.664) is slightly better than Ligand B (52.889).
**9. Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.895) and Ligand B (-5.46) both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand B is slightly worse.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.9) and Ligand B (-2.349) both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, lower values indicate poorer solubility. Ligand A is slightly worse.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.562) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.017), which is a significant advantage.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (19.877) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-21.892). A negative value for Cl_mic suggests very high metabolic stability, making Ligand B preferable in this regard.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (58.524) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-6.836). A negative value for t1/2 is unusual and suggests very rapid metabolism. Ligand A is preferable.
**14. Pgp:** Ligand A (0.304) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.004), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, better QED, lower hERG risk, and a longer half-life. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (Cl_mic), the significantly stronger binding of Ligand A, coupled with its more favorable drug-like properties, makes it the more promising candidate. The lower logP and Caco-2/Solubility scores of Ligand B are concerning for oral bioavailability.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (77.955) has a substantially longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-16.251), which is a significant positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.023) has much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.323), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This difference of 2 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has advantages in hERG and P-gp efflux, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-10.2 vs -8.2 kcal/mol) is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The longer half-life of Ligand B is also a significant benefit. The slightly higher DILI and clearance are less concerning given the potency advantage. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning and would need to be investigated further, but the binding affinity difference is likely to be decisive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.5 and 356.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (52.65) is significantly better than Ligand B (104.73). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred for kinases. Ligand A is much closer to the ideal range.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.55 and 1.14), falling within the 1-3 optimal range. Ligand A is slightly better.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5). Lower values are generally preferred for better permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.802) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.537), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have a low DILI risk (around 10%), which is good.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.9%) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (60.6%). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a positive attribute.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.82 and -4.74). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are very similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.65 and -1.85). This is also unusual and indicates poor aqueous solubility. Again, the values are comparable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.36 and 0.10). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.1 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (56.9 mL/min/kg). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.087 hours) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (-31.73 hours) is negative. This is a major concern for both, but the negative value for Ligand B is particularly problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.08 and 0.01). This is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol), but the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its better TPSA, QED, lower microsomal clearance, and better BBB penetration. While both have poor solubility and permeability (indicated by negative Caco-2 and solubility values), and short half-lives, Ligand A's superior ADME properties and drug-likeness outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a significant red flag.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.034 and -4.954). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.243 and -3.063), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.25 and 0.186), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (19.764) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (26.651), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand B.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (1.1 kcal/mol difference) and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and a shorter half-life. Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is a significant advantage. While the DILI risk is a concern, it's not prohibitive at 60.644, and further optimization could potentially mitigate this. The lower half-life can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications. The solubility issues are similar for both.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has excellent binding affinity. Ligand B (-5.9 kcal/mol) also has good binding affinity, but is 1.6 kcal/mol weaker.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED score and a significantly stronger binding affinity. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, poor solubility, and high microsomal clearance. Ligand B has a lower binding affinity, but exhibits excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic), very low hERG risk, and low P-gp efflux. The negative half-life for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, metabolic stability is crucial. The substantial difference in Cl_mic and the lower hERG risk of Ligand B outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity. While the solubility and permeability are both poor, these can be addressed through formulation strategies. The negative half-life is a red flag, but assuming it's an error, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (41.566 and 40.946), which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.286 and -5.164), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.223 and -1.345). This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.342) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.178), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-2.176) exhibits *negative* microsomal clearance, which is physiologically impossible and indicates a potential issue with the data or model. Ligand A (59.972) has a moderate clearance.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (30.197) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (28.419).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.211) shows low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.045) is even lower.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.2 vs 0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher logP and DILI risk of Ligand A. The negative microsomal clearance for Ligand B is a red flag and requires further investigation, but the binding affinity difference is so large that it warrants prioritizing Ligand B for further optimization, assuming the clearance data can be resolved.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.162) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.041), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A *if* those drawbacks aren't insurmountable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the highest priority. However, it suffers from poor solubility, higher DILI risk, and higher metabolic clearance. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, longer half-life, lower P-gp efflux), but weaker binding affinity.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A is compelling. While the solubility and metabolic stability are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The DILI risk is moderate, but not prohibitive. The slightly higher hERG risk is also manageable.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (82.23 and 84.67) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.68 and 1.401) are within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 5 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability, though both are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.813 and 0.708), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (42.924) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.293), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand A (69.484) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (55.642).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.491) has a slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.195), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.274) has a slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.501).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.251 and 0.211), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.827 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (44.692 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (4.636 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (1.588 hours). This is a positive for Ligand B.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Ligand A (454.316 Da) is within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand B (364.837 Da) is also within the ideal range. No clear advantage here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (66.29) is good, below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (112.66) is also below 140, but closer to the limit. A favors better absorption.
3. **logP:** Both ligands (A: 1.884, B: 1.357) fall within the optimal 1-3 range. No significant difference.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (1) is excellent, while Ligand B (3) is acceptable but slightly higher. Lower is generally preferred for permeability. A is better.
5. **HBA:** Both ligands (A: 5, B: 5) are within the acceptable limit of 10. No difference.
6. **QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.554, B: 0.654), indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (55.448) is better than Ligand B (64.831) as it has a lower DILI risk percentile.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (66.886) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (20.512). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.125 and -5.743). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, negative values are often artifacts of the prediction method and should be interpreted cautiously.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.521 and -2.064), also suggesting poor solubility. Similar caution applies as with Caco-2.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.752) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.379), meaning B is safer regarding cardiotoxicity.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (40.816) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (3.195). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinases.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (-1.893) has a negative in vitro half-life, which is not physically possible. This is likely an artifact of the prediction. Ligand A (12.06) has a reasonable half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.227) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.045), which is favorable for bioavailability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B excels in binding affinity and has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While its half-life prediction is suspect, the lower Cl_mic is a strong indicator. Ligand A has better DILI and Pgp profiles, but the affinity difference is too large to ignore.
**Conclusion:**
Despite some ADME concerns with Ligand B (negative solubility/Caco-2, questionable half-life), the significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -10.2 kcal/mol) and improved metabolic stability make it the more promising candidate. Further optimization could address the solubility issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (359.5 and 349.4 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is significantly better than Ligand B (109.6), being well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B is approaching the upper limit, potentially hindering absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.015) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.009) is very low, which could significantly impair permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.874) has a much better drug-likeness score than Ligand B (0.64), indicating a more favorable overall profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (27.9) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (35.8), both are good, but A is better.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (71.8) is slightly better than Ligand A (67.2). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.318) is better than Ligand B (-5.544), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.175) is better than Ligand B (-1.928), indicating better solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.159) shows lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.449), which is a crucial safety parameter.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.8 mL/min/kg) is much better than Ligand B (-23.6 mL/min/kg). This suggests significantly improved metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.503) is much better than Ligand B (0.13), indicating a longer half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.039) is much better than Ligand B (0.004), indicating less P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol). However, the difference is not substantial enough to overcome the numerous ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Overall:** Ligand A is a significantly more promising drug candidate. It excels in almost all ADME properties (solubility, permeability, metabolic stability, efflux, hERG risk, DILI) and has a very good binding affinity. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, its poor logP, solubility, and metabolic stability are major drawbacks.

**Prioritization for Enzyme (Kinase) Targets:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** B is significantly better (-9 vs -6.4 kcal/mol).
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is *much* better (Cl_mic of -6.323 vs 56.139).
* **Solubility:** A is slightly better.
* **hERG:** A is slightly better.
* **logP:** B is much better.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability, DILI, hERG, and solubility, the *substantial* difference in binding affinity for Ligand B is a critical factor. A 2.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is significant. The better logP of ligand B also contributes to its potential for better absorption. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The poor half-life of both is also a concern, but can be addressed with structural modifications.
Therefore, I would select **Ligand B** as the more promising drug candidate.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's poor logP, solubility, and Caco-2 permeability, its *significantly* stronger binding affinity (-9 vs -8.4 kcal/mol) and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) make it the more promising candidate. The lower hERG risk is also a plus. While solubility is a concern, formulation strategies can sometimes mitigate this. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to prioritize Ligand A for further optimization.

**Comparison & Decision:**
Both compounds have excellent binding affinity. However, Ligand A and B both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. Ligand B has a better logP, QED, and DILI score. However, Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and a longer half-life. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and half-life are crucial. While Ligand B's affinity is marginally better, the significantly better metabolic profile of Ligand A outweighs this difference. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.2 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better QED, BBB, and Caco-2 permeability, but suffers from a higher DILI risk, higher logP, and significantly worse metabolic stability (high Cl_mic and low t1/2). Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability, lower P-gp efflux, and a lower hERG risk, but has poor solubility and permeability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.459 and 349.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (83.22) is slightly higher than Ligand B (66.65). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is preferable.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.295 and 3.128), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially improving membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable QED values (0.675 and 0.723), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have very similar and low DILI risk (29.973 and 29.43 percentile), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (60.876) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (85.925). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but a higher value is generally preferable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.861) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.466). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but B is better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.414) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.489). Solubility is important for bioavailability, so Ligand B is favored.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.39) shows a slightly lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.503), which is better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.609) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (97.098). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, making Ligand A more favorable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.695) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-25.151). A longer half-life is generally preferred, so Ligand B is favored.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.153) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.509), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference in affinity is a major advantage and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, better Caco-2 permeability, better solubility, and better BBB penetration. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower P-gp efflux, the substantial improvement in binding affinity of Ligand B is the most critical factor for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The differences in solubility and permeability, while not ideal, are less concerning than a weaker binding interaction.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (452.227 Da) is higher, but still acceptable. Ligand B (357.357 Da) is slightly preferred.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.05) is good, below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (93.46) is also acceptable, but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.322) is optimal. Ligand B (1.657) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (A: 0.443, B: 0.656), with B being slightly more drug-like.
**DILI:** Ligand A (80.651) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (49.942). This is a significant concern for A.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (85.731) has better BBB penetration than A (63.862).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.32) is worse than Ligand B (-4.417).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-4.054) is worse than Ligand B (-2.898).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.819) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.179). B is much preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (34.347 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance and therefore better metabolic stability than Ligand A (53.504 mL/min/kg).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (72.197 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.603 hours). This is a major advantage for A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.549) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.038), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are critical for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, worse solubility, worse permeability, and a slightly higher hERG risk. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, better permeability, lower hERG, better metabolic stability), but its binding affinity is significantly weaker.
The difference in binding affinity (1.1 kcal/mol) between A and B is substantial. Given that SRC is a kinase, potency is paramount. The longer half-life of A is also a significant benefit. While the ADME properties of A are not ideal, they may be addressable through further optimization. The weaker binding of B is a more difficult issue to resolve.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, considering the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight (MW):** Both ligands (352.425 and 347.459 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is well below the 140 threshold and favorable for oral absorption. Ligand B (61.88) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal than A.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (2.671) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.781) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, although not drastically.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (0 for A, 1 for B), well below the limit of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (2 for A, 4 for B), below the limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.78 and 0.764), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (23.149) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (12.757), which is a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (95.425) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (61.031) is considerably lower. While SRC isn't a CNS target, good BBB penetration generally correlates with better overall bioavailability.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.477 and -4.578). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model used to predict this value. We'll proceed cautiously.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.28 and -1.617). Again, this is concerning and suggests the model may be flagging a potential solubility issue.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.606) shows lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.238), which is favorable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (29.09) has a higher Cl_mic than Ligand B (1.985), suggesting faster metabolism and lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.402) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (3.245), which is a positive.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.108) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.009), suggesting better bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better BBB penetration, and lower hERG inhibition. However, it has higher microsomal clearance. Ligand B has better metabolic stability, but weaker binding affinity, higher DILI risk, and lower BBB penetration. The substantial difference in binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning, but the superior potency and safety profile of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate, assuming these solubility/permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.606 and 0.513), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (45.483) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (6.824). Ligand B is much preferred here.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (79.139) shows better BBB penetration, but it's not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.18) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.761) is also not great, but better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.205) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.515) is also poor. This is a potential issue for both, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.312) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.594), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.359) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (77.552), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.791) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-5.838). This is a drawback for Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5). While both are good, the difference is approximately 0.8 kcal/mol, which is meaningful.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B excels in several key areas: logP, TPSA, DILI risk, and binding affinity. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and P-gp efflux, the poor logP and solubility of Ligand A, coupled with the higher DILI risk, are significant drawbacks. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B, combined with its superior ADME properties, makes it the more promising candidate. The difference in binding affinity is not large enough to overcome the ADME issues of Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol), although the difference is not huge.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While both have solubility issues, Ligand B has a much better logP, lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. Ligand A's low logP and high DILI risk are major drawbacks. The solubility issues for both would need to be addressed through formulation strategies, but the other ADME properties of Ligand B are more favorable for development.

**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.222) is better than Ligand B (-2.795), which is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.093 and 0.165).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-20.93) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (92.361), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (19.515) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-21.69), further supporting its improved metabolic stability.
**P-gp efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.096 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-9.7 and -8.7 kcal/mol). The difference of 1 kcal/mol is not enough to overcome the other ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands exhibit good binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and solubility. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the strong binding affinity and other favorable properties likely outweigh this drawback. Ligand A's high microsomal clearance is a significant negative.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (384.431 and 353.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (95.97 and 93.46) are below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (2.095 and 2.305) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 8 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand B (0.71) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.41), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (97.945 percentile), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (37.611 percentile), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (62.737) and Ligand B (59.791) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.844 and -4.688), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential issue for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.239 and -2.375), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This could hinder formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.178 and 0.295), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (64.554 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.593 mL/min/kg), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a significantly longer in vitro half-life (14.749 hours) compared to Ligand A (49.261 hours). This is a strong advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.454 and 0.05).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). However, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME concerns with Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, the extremely high DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance make it a significantly less desirable candidate. Ligand B, while having slightly weaker binding, demonstrates a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). The solubility and permeability are problematic for both, but the DILI risk is a critical factor that disqualifies Ligand A.

2. **TPSA:** A (124.1) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but acceptable. B (91.22) is excellent, well below 140.
3. **logP:** A (0.143) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. B (2.609) is optimal.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable. B (2) is also good.
5. **HBA:** A (7) is acceptable. B (5) is also good.
6. **QED:** A (0.549) is good, indicating drug-likeness. B (0.487) is acceptable, but slightly lower.
7. **DILI:** Both have elevated DILI risk (A: 63.397, B: 68.98). B is slightly higher, which is a concern.
8. **BBB:** A (11.865) is very low, meaning poor brain penetration. B (54.246) is also low, but significantly better than A. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-6.062) is very poor permeability. B (-5.208) is also poor, but better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.477) is very poor. B (-4.144) is also poor. Both have solubility issues.
11. **hERG:** A (0.128) is very low risk, excellent. B (0.794) is moderate risk, a concern.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (1.158) is very low, indicating high metabolic stability. B (46.579) is high, indicating rapid metabolism. This is a significant advantage for A.
13. **t1/2:** A (20.325) is good. B (-7.609) is very poor, suggesting rapid clearance. This further emphasizes A's metabolic stability.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.031) is very low efflux, excellent. B (0.222) is also low, but higher than A.
15. **Affinity:** A (-10.6) is significantly stronger than B (-9). This is a substantial advantage for A.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
* **Affinity:** A is significantly better.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is *much* better (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies.
* **hERG:** A is better.
* **LogP:** B is better, but A's low logP is a bigger issue.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility of both compounds, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, excellent metabolic stability, and low hERG risk outweigh the concerns about its low logP and solubility. The poor logP could potentially be addressed through structural modifications, but the strong binding and metabolic stability are harder to achieve.

Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, and a much lower hERG risk. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and a very short half-life. Ligand B has better solubility and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is extremely weak, and its logP is high.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, the superior binding affinity of Ligand A is a decisive factor. While its ADME properties are concerning, they can potentially be addressed through further optimization. The extremely weak binding of Ligand B makes it a less promising starting point.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.39 and 344.42 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (123.66) is slightly above the preferred <140, while Ligand B (96.25) is well within. This favors B.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.386) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.32) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 3 HBD and 5 HBA, which are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.685 and 0.75), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (42.46) is slightly higher than Ligand B (36.95), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60, indicating low risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (59.79) is lower than Ligand B (48.78), but neither is particularly high.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.75) and Ligand B (-4.91) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so we can't interpret this definitively.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.55 and -3.10), which is concerning. Solubility is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors, as it impacts bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.022) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.238) is slightly higher, but still relatively low. This favors A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.033) has a very low (and likely favorable) clearance, suggesting good metabolic stability. Ligand B (23.93) has a significantly higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism. This strongly favors A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.36) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (-1.26) has a very short half-life, suggesting rapid degradation. This strongly favors A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.032), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol), but the difference is only 0.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and TPSA, Ligand A is significantly better in terms of metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), hERG risk, and has a more favorable logP. The solubility issue is present in both, but the superior ADME properties of Ligand A, particularly its metabolic stability, are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The small affinity difference is outweighed by these factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (377.38 and 354.41 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (21.26) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for absorption. Ligand B (102.75) is higher, but still acceptable, though potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.788) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.949) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 6 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.406 and 0.663), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (51.03 and 56.22), both are acceptable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (73.67) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (38.89). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.829 and -4.957), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.951 and -0.617), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.961) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.066). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (49.99) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.929), indicating faster metabolism and lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is significantly better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (28.23) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-19.57), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.738) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.015), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher hERG risk and lower BBB penetration. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, more negative Cl_mic value) and lower P-gp efflux. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation strategies, but the strong binding and metabolic stability make Ligand B the better starting point for optimization.

* **Pgp:** 0.003 - Very low efflux.
* **Affinity:** -8.2 kcal/mol - Excellent binding affinity.
**Ligand B:**
* **MW:** 350.438 Da - Within the ideal range (200-500).
* **TPSA:** 64.16 - Excellent, well below the 140 threshold.
* **logP:** 3.37 - Optimal.
* **HBD:** 0 - Acceptable.
* **HBA:** 5 - Acceptable.
* **QED:** 0.651 - Good drug-like properties.
* **DILI:** 30.399 - Low risk.

* **Caco-2:** -4.679 - Poor permeability, but better than Ligand A.
* **Solubility:** -3.02 - Poor solubility, worse than Ligand A.
* **hERG:** 0.882 - Moderate risk.
* **Cl_mic:** 52.996 - Moderate metabolic clearance.
* **t1/2:** 29.334 - Good in vitro half-life.
* **Pgp:** 0.823 - Moderate efflux.
* **Affinity:** -7.2 kcal/mol - Good binding affinity, but 1.0 kcal/mol weaker than Ligand A.
**Comparison and Decision:**
While Ligand B has better physicochemical properties (logP, TPSA) and a slightly better QED score, Ligand A significantly outperforms it in key areas for an enzyme target: **binding affinity** (-8.2 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) and **metabolic stability** (much lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). Ligand A also has a lower hERG risk and negligible Pgp efflux. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A are concerning, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The 1.0 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and likely outweighs the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A. Ligand B's moderate hERG risk is also a concern.
Therefore, Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (54.02) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (83.81) is still under 140, but less favorable than A.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (4.051 and 3.227) within the optimal 1-3 range, though Ligand A is slightly higher.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 3-4 HBA, satisfying the <5 and <10 rules respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.788 and 0.766), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.976) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (71.19), which is concerning.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively high BBB penetration (80.729 and 72.237), but this is less crucial for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.665) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.491), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.577) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.751), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (24.265) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (18.021), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.094 and 0.253).
**Binding Affinity:** This is the most critical factor. Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial, and this difference is massive.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's better TPSA and metabolic stability, the vastly superior binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) overrides these advantages. The binding affinity difference is so large that it is likely to compensate for the slightly higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed in further optimization, but potency is paramount at this stage.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.9 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.9 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, it has a much lower DILI risk (37.456 vs 89.957) and excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic). The short half-life is a concern, but could potentially be addressed through structural modifications. Ligand A's high DILI risk and weak binding affinity make it a less attractive candidate.

**Comparison and Conclusion:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol), which is a primary consideration for enzyme inhibitors. However, it suffers from extremely poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, coupled with very high metabolic clearance and a short half-life. These ADME properties are major liabilities.
Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits better solubility (though still poor), lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). Its permeability is also very poor, similar to Ligand A.
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, the severe ADME issues make it a less viable drug candidate. The poor solubility and permeability will likely result in extremely low bioavailability. Ligand B, while not ideal, presents a slightly more balanced profile with better metabolic stability and lower toxicity risk.
Therefore, I would select **Ligand B** as the more promising candidate, recognizing that substantial medicinal chemistry efforts would be needed to improve its permeability and solubility.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, DILI, hERG, P-gp efflux) and has a comparable binding affinity. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2).
Ligand B has better solubility, metabolic stability, and half-life, but is penalized by a higher logP (potentially impacting permeability), higher DILI risk, and lower BBB penetration.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the better metabolic stability and solubility of Ligand B, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) DILI and hERG, outweigh the slightly better ADME profile of Ligand A.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.38 and 361.408 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (29.1) is significantly better than Ligand B (43.86). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both meet this, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.403) is higher than Ligand B (1.588). While 1-3 is optimal, Ligand A is pushing the upper limit, potentially leading to solubility issues. Ligand B is a bit low, which could affect permeability.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 1 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.816 and 0.747), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.601) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (21.404). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (91.663 and 95.076), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.503 and -4.393). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. It's difficult to interpret without more context, but it's a potential concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.897) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.093). This is consistent with its higher logP.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.883) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.653), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (33.853) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (74.413), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-23.527) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. This is a major red flag and suggests a significant issue with the data or the compound itself. Ligand A (24.337) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.659 and 0.069), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8). This 1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better QED and half-life, Ligand B is the stronger candidate. The significantly improved binding affinity (-9 vs -8 kcal/mol), lower DILI risk, and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are critical advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major concern. The solubility of Ligand A is also worse. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the overall profile of Ligand B is more promising.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.347 and 0.031), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.4 kcal/mol, which may not be enough to overcome the ADME deficiencies of Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility, Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), has a lower DILI risk, and a significantly lower hERG risk. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand B is likely outweighed by its superior ADME properties, especially given the relatively small difference in affinity. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications, but these are more tractable problems than poor metabolic stability or high toxicity risk.

**DILI:** Ligand A (52.074) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (41.644), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (78.79) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (58.085), but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.931 and -4.938), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.357 and -1.481), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-2.885) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (59.082), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (75.157) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (3.165), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.96) has a slightly higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.008), meaning B is less likely to be pumped out of cells.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a *much* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive factor. The >1.5 kcal/mol advantage of B outweighs most of its drawbacks.
**Overall:** While both ligands have significant drawbacks (poor solubility and permeability), Ligand B is the stronger candidate. Its dramatically superior binding affinity (-8.5 vs 0 kcal/mol) and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower hERG risk is also a positive. Although its logP is low, the high binding affinity may overcome this.

The affinity difference is substantial, but the ADME profile of Ligand A is considerably more favorable. Given the enzyme target class, metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and hERG risk are critical. Ligand A's superior metabolic stability and lower hERG risk, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) ADME properties, make it a more promising starting point for optimization, despite the weaker binding.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.358 Da and 350.419 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.24) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (104.54) is still acceptable but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.544) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.608) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of 5.

**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.691 and 0.715), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 76.192, which is concerning (high risk >60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 32.377, which is favorable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (53.974) and Ligand B (61.535) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.777) and Ligand B (-5.38) both show poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.983) and Ligand B (-0.355) both show poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.834) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.034), which is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.452) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (14.424), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a key negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.421) has a negative half-life, which is very poor. Ligand B (-14.451) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.414) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.011), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.4 kcal/mol and -8.0 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's unlikely to outweigh other significant ADME issues.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Ligand A has a high DILI risk, poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, poor half-life), and poor solubility. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better metabolic stability, and while permeability and solubility are both poor, they are similar between the two. The superior ADME profile of Ligand B outweighs the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.16 and -1.68), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.34) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.53), which is preferable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a higher microsomal clearance (74.12) than Ligand B (32.33), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a much longer in vitro half-life (-7.78 hours) than Ligand A (17.65 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.44) has a slightly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.04).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a better binding affinity (-8.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability), and a shorter half-life. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better BBB penetration. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but the superior affinity of Ligand A might be able to overcome these issues with appropriate formulation strategies.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the metabolic stability and lower toxicity profile of Ligand B are very important. The 1.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity, while substantial, might be addressable through further optimization of Ligand B. The poor solubility and permeability are shared issues that would need to be addressed regardless of which lead is chosen.

8. **BBB:** Ligand B (80.419) has a significantly higher BBB penetration score than Ligand A (37.96). However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are log scale values, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand A (-5.071) is worse than Ligand B (-4.745).
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.552) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.593).
11. **hERG:** Both have low hERG inhibition liability, which is good. Ligand A (0.285) is slightly better.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (37.518) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (76.391), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for enzymes.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (38.469) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-23.047). This is a significant advantage for dosing frequency.
14. **Pgp:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability. Ligand B (0.166) is slightly better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a >1 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity. Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, but the difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to outweigh these benefits. Solubility is poor for both, but Ligand A is slightly better.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's slightly better metabolic stability and solubility, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B makes it the more promising drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity is likely to have a greater impact on efficacy than the modest differences in ADME properties.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.57 and -3.86), which is also problematic and suggests very poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.35 and 0.277), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (60.893 mL/min/kg) has higher clearance than Ligand B (55.674 mL/min/kg), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (29.194 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (18.721 hours), which is a major advantage.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.183 and 0.249), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol), by a margin of 0.7 kcal/mol. This is a substantial difference and outweighs some of the minor ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) and longer half-life (29.194 vs 18.721 hours) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. While both have poor predicted permeability and solubility, the potency and stability of Ligand B make it the better starting point for optimization. Addressing the solubility and permeability issues will be crucial, but a strong starting point in potency is vital.

Crucially, it also has a much lower DILI risk (12.524 vs 94.649) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While solubility is a concern, it might be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a dealbreaker.

**DILI:** Both ligands have very similar, and low, DILI risk (11.2 and 11.1), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (85.033) has a better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (78.868), but BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.577) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.96), indicating slightly better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.558 and -2.622). This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.77) has a significantly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.552), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both have similar, and relatively low, microsomal clearance (-2.225 and -37.43).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.77) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (4.425). This suggests better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.102) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.092).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a much stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference and a major factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has advantages in TPSA, BBB, Caco-2, hERG, and half-life, the significantly superior binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.3 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. A binding affinity difference of this magnitude can often outweigh minor ADME drawbacks, especially if the solubility issues can be addressed through formulation. The similar DILI and acceptable logP values for both compounds are also positive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (399.559 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (367.471 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (83.47) is better than Ligand B (111.45). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.566, B: 1.61), falling within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (A: 2, B: 3) and HBA (A: 6, B: 6) counts, well below the thresholds of 5 and 10, respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.633, B: 0.542), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (71.694) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (58.511), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (46.219) is lower than Ligand B (15.2), but this is not a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, we'll proceed assuming these represent low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.465) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.496), but both are low.
**Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (28.382) has a higher Cl_mic than Ligand B (20.188), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (26.014) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (9.55), which is desirable. However, this benefit is likely offset by the higher Cl_mic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.465) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.076), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.3 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol difference that can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better half-life and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 vs -6.3 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While both have issues with predicted permeability and solubility, the superior potency of Ligand B makes it more likely to be successful, as potency can sometimes compensate for suboptimal ADME properties. The lower Cl_mic of Ligand B also contributes to its better profile.

**DILI:** Ligand A (21.95) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (55.80). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.609) has significantly worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.629). This is a negative for A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-1.27) is slightly better than Ligand B (-0.817).

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.954) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.48). This indicates better metabolic stability for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.1) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (0.75) has a slightly better half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher HBA count, lower logP, and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, hERG, Cl_mic, and better logP), but its binding affinity is very weak.
The difference in binding affinity (-6.7 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is substantial. While the ADME profile of Ligand A is more favorable, the lack of potency is a major drawback. It's unlikely that A would be effective *in vivo* with such weak binding. Ligand B's issues could potentially be addressed through further optimization, but the strong initial binding is a solid foundation.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (357.384 and 342.491 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.31) is slightly higher than Ligand B (68.87), but both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.153 and 3.168), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to some solubility issues, but is not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 3 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.793 and 0.752), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (51.842 and 51.26), which is acceptable (below 60).
**BBB:** Ligand B (89.066) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (72.741). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.226 and -5.44). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and may not be directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.033 and -3.001). This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.185) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.933), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.638) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (31.617). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-16.209) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (15.323), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.106) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.167), which is slightly better for oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.5 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having poor solubility and permeability, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 vs -6.5 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. Furthermore, it exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. While the solubility and permeability issues need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, the superior potency and pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand A make it the preferred choice.

**DILI:** Ligand A (36.216) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (50.446), both are acceptable but A is better.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.19) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (43.815), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.291 and -5.103), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.439 and -2.403), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.165) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.528), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-16.813) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (87.92), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.811) has a negative half-life, which is unusual and suggests rapid degradation. Ligand B (8.008) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.036 and 0.272).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and excellent binding affinities (-9.4 and -9.2 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both compounds have excellent binding affinity, Ligand A appears more promising due to its lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower hERG risk. However, the negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both. The negative half-life for Ligand A is also a major red flag. Ligand B has a better half-life and TPSA, but higher DILI, hERG, and Cl_mic. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the slightly better safety profile, Ligand A is the marginally better candidate, *assuming* the negative half-life can be addressed through structural modifications.

Ligand A is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, lower P-gp efflux, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and logP, the ADME-Tox profile of Ligand A is much more favorable, especially the lower DILI and hERG. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity are paramount.

* **Pgp:** 0.074 - Excellent (low efflux)
* **Affinity:** 0.0 kcal/mol - Very Poor (no binding affinity)
**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands suffer from extremely poor Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility (negative values). They also both have very short in vitro half-lives. However, Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.0 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol for Ligand B). Ligand A also has a lower DILI risk. While Ligand A's metabolic clearance is moderate, it's far better than Ligand B's high clearance.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), potency (affinity) is paramount. Ligand A's strong binding affinity outweighs its moderate metabolic clearance and poor permeability/solubility. Ligand B's complete lack of binding affinity makes it a non-starter, regardless of its other properties.
Therefore, Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate, despite its drawbacks, because it actually binds to the target. Further optimization would focus on improving its solubility, permeability, and metabolic stability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.379 and 351.447 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (86.71) is slightly higher than Ligand B (78.95), but both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.037) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.241) is quite low. A low logP can hinder membrane permeability and potentially reduce binding affinity. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.876 and 0.787), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (81.427) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.236). This is a concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (28.81) has a low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (68.748) has better BBB penetration, but again, this is less critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.859 and -4.57), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This needs further investigation, but it's a flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.813 and -2.271), which is also unusual and suggests poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.125 and 0.106), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.453) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.126), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.497) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (10.591), but both are reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol), which is excellent and strongly suggests good potency.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a higher DILI risk, its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and optimal logP outweigh this concern, especially given the equal binding affinity. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning and would require formulation strategies, but the metabolic stability is a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B's very low logP is a major disadvantage, likely impacting its ability to reach the target effectively.

Considering all factors, Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better affinity and QED, Ligand A excels in crucial areas for kinase inhibitors: lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG inhibition, better solubility, and lower P-gp efflux. The lower logP of A is a concern, but its superior ADME profile outweighs this drawback.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.179) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.738) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.046) has a lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (91.927) has very high clearance, indicating rapid metabolism and a potential issue with dosing frequency.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-17.01) has a negative half-life, which is nonsensical and indicates a problem with the data or the molecule itself. Ligand B (1.719) has a very short half-life, which is not ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.022) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.255) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite its higher Caco-2 and lower half-life. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.0 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) is a major driver. The lower DILI risk (22.179 vs 61.031) is also a critical advantage. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux, the poor solubility, low logP, and the nonsensical half-life value raise significant concerns. The binding affinity difference is large enough to outweigh the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A.

3. **logP:** A (-1.127) is slightly lower than optimal (1-3), potentially impacting permeability. B (1.338) is within the ideal range.
4. **HBD:** A (2) and B (0) are both acceptable, below the limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (7) and B (3) are both acceptable, below the limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.71) and B (0.518) are above the 0.5 threshold, indicating good drug-likeness.
7. **DILI:** A (79.837) has a significantly higher DILI risk than B (18.185). This is a major concern for A.
8. **BBB:** Both are similar, with A (54.052) and B (55.874) being moderate. Not a primary concern for SRC kinase, which is not a CNS target.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.036) and B (-4.559) are both negative, indicating poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.93) and B (-1.006) are both negative, indicating poor solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.06) is very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk. B (0.699) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-14.665) is much lower (better) than B (23.663), suggesting better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (-10.098) is much lower (worse) than B (-9.377), suggesting a shorter half-life.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** A has a much stronger binding affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but not a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
* **hERG:** A has a better hERG profile.

* **Half-life:** B has a slightly better half-life.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand A, the very high DILI risk is a major red flag. While a strong affinity can sometimes outweigh other issues, a high DILI risk is difficult to overcome and would likely lead to attrition during development. Ligand B, while having a weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI) and acceptable ADME properties.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.322 and -5.213), indicating poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.687 and -5.188), indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.124) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.622) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.187) has a lower Cl_mic, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (99.951) has a very high Cl_mic, indicating rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.273) has a longer half-life, which is favorable. Ligand B (-23.145) has a negative half-life, indicating very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.078) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.79) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from very high metabolic clearance, poor half-life, and moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life, lower P-gp efflux, and very low hERG risk), but its binding affinity is extremely weak.
Despite the ADME concerns with Ligand B, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. Optimization efforts could focus on improving the metabolic stability of Ligand B.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (389.233 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (345.403 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.77) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (102.16) is also below the threshold, but closer to it.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.885) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.673) is within the optimal range (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=7) both fall within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.715, B: 0.826), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (84.219) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (70.26), suggesting potential liver toxicity concerns.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (72.431) and Ligand B (62.699) are comparable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.754 and -4.726), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-5.675 and -3.316), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.486) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.237), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (63.54 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (26.409 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-28.563 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the compound's stability. Ligand A (88.654 hours) has a good in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.399, B: 0.176).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.3 and -8.4 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor. The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B initially appears better due to its lower logP, lower DILI risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, the negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. It suggests either a data error or an extremely unstable compound. Ligand A has a higher logP and DILI risk, but its metabolic stability and in vitro half-life are much better. The solubility issues are concerning for both. Given the choice, and assuming the negative half-life for B is an error, B is preferable. However, the negative half-life is a showstopper. Therefore, I will choose A.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has a much better affinity, but suffers from poor solubility, high DILI risk, and higher clearance. Ligand B has better solubility, lower DILI, and better metabolic stability, but a weaker binding affinity. The difference in affinity is >1.5 kcal/mol, which is a significant advantage. However, the high DILI risk for Ligand A is a major red flag.
Considering the balance, despite the superior affinity of Ligand A, the significantly higher DILI risk and poor solubility make it a less viable candidate. Ligand B, while having a weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable safety and ADME profile.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.415) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B (-0.087) is also negative, but closer to zero. Both are problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.38 and 0.037).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its high DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability), and the impossible half-life value make it a less desirable candidate.

**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140 (Ligand A: 83.76, Ligand B: 81.01), suggesting good oral absorption potential.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.448) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (0.887) is slightly below, which *could* indicate permeability issues, but isn't a major concern at this stage.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD/HBA counts (A: 0/5, B: 1/5), balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.568, B: 0.772), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**DILI:** Ligand A (83.211) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (60.101), which is concerning. While 83.211 isn't extremely high, it's significantly higher than Ligand B and a potential red flag.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.498) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (46.413), but this isn't a major factor in this decision.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a strange scale and might not be directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unclear, but it suggests potential formulation challenges.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.788) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.158), which is preferable for B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (0.757) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (41.365), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (21.185) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-25.146). The negative value for A is concerning and suggests rapid degradation. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.283) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.072), which is slightly favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can often outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and lower hERG risk outweigh the slightly lower logP and P-gp efflux. The unusual solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other factors strongly favor Ligand B.

Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, better BBB penetration, and a reasonable hERG risk. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) and metabolic stability are crucial. Ligand A's superior affinity and stability are very attractive. While the high DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications. The negative half-life of Ligand B is a dealbreaker.

**DILI:** Ligand A (23.032) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (35.479), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (50.407) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (75.107). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.908) is worse than Ligand B (-5.088).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.883) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.045).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.84) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.395), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (99.354) has much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (1.163), indicating poorer metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.942) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (22.937), consistent with the higher clearance.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption and is quite favorable. Ligand B (80.12) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.815) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (1.483) is at the lower end. While both are within range, a higher logP can sometimes be beneficial for kinase inhibitors, but needs to be balanced with solubility.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 5 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10, but A is slightly better.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, good QED values (0.838 and 0.847).
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.06) has a slightly better DILI percentile than Ligand B (41.411), indicating lower potential for liver injury. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (80.419) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (69.756), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.013 and -5.026), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.114 and -2.828), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.511) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.179), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (46.16 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (43.184 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-19.498 hours) has a significantly *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand A (2.015 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.341) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.1), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both compounds have significant ADME liabilities (poor solubility and permeability), Ligand B demonstrates a stronger binding affinity and a significantly longer half-life. The improved metabolic stability is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly lower P-gp efflux of Ligand A is a minor benefit, but doesn't outweigh the substantial difference in half-life and binding affinity.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (64.827) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (57.044), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (110.702) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (65.031), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (A: 0.814, B: 0.665), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a massive advantage for A, potentially outweighing its ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability predictions (negative Caco-2 and solubility values, which are suspect and would need experimental verification), Ligand A is the more promising candidate due to its *much* stronger binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol). The longer half-life is also a plus. While the higher DILI and clearance are concerns, the potency difference is substantial enough to prioritize A for further investigation, assuming the solubility/permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.419 and 355.395 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (105.49) is better than Ligand B (133.7). Lower TPSA generally indicates better permeability. Ligand A is well below the 140 threshold. Ligand B is approaching it.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.019) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.618) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable, while Ligand B (1) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 6 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.357) is lower than Ligand B (0.224), but both are below the desirable threshold of 0.5. This indicates both have room for improvement in drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.715) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.346). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.229) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.944). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.71) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-0.914). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.582) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.107). Lower is better here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (39.398 and 39.263 mL/min/kg), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.816 hours) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (-18.39 hours) has a longer half-life. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.103 and 0.009).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's still a positive for Ligand B.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.387 and 344.474 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.95) is better than Ligand B (32.34) as it is still within the acceptable range for oral absorption (<140), while Ligand B is significantly lower.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.58) is suboptimal, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (4.311) is high, potentially causing solubility or off-target issues, but is closer to the ideal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar, good QED scores (0.737 and 0.748).
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.523) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (14.036) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (19.814) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (95.192) has excellent BBB penetration. While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB penetration generally correlates with fewer off-target effects.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.501) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a concern for oral absorption. Ligand B (-4.769) is slightly better but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.318) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-4.406) also has poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.087) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.792) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but still within a reasonable range.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-18.611) has very low microsomal clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (63.346) has high microsomal clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-25.237) has a very long in vitro half-life, consistent with its low clearance. Ligand B (14.428) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.231).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar, strong binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a significantly lower hERG risk, which are crucial for enzyme inhibitors. However, it suffers from poor solubility and permeability. Ligand B has a much better DILI profile, better BBB penetration, and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but is metabolically less stable and has a slightly higher hERG risk.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the excellent metabolic stability and very low hERG risk of Ligand A outweigh its solubility and permeability concerns, especially given its strong binding affinity. While solubility/permeability can be addressed through formulation strategies, mitigating potential toxicity (hERG) and ensuring sufficient exposure (metabolic stability) are more challenging.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.379 and 355.41 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (77.25 and 75.88) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.666 and 0.781), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 77.045, which is concerning (high risk >60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 41.915, which is good.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (92.71) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (65.452), but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.869 and -4.041). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but these values are often predictions and can be inaccurate.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.992 and -2.473), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, these are predictions.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.576 and 0.365).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a high microsomal clearance (128.705 mL/min/kg), indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much lower clearance (39.027 mL/min/kg), suggesting better stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-11.554 hours), which is not physically possible and likely an artifact of the prediction. Ligand B has a negative half-life as well (-28.382 hours), also likely an artifact.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.46 and 0.145).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk and lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) outweigh the slightly better logP of Ligand A. The negative Caco-2 and solubility predictions are concerning for both, but these are predictions and may not reflect the true *in vitro* or *in vivo* properties. The unrealistic half-life predictions are also concerning, but don't necessarily disqualify the compounds. The lower DILI and better metabolic stability of Ligand B make it the better choice for further investigation.

While Ligand A's affinity is better, its poor half-life and solubility are likely to lead to poor *in vivo* exposure. Ligand B, despite the slightly lower affinity, has a more favorable ADME profile, particularly regarding metabolic stability and half-life.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (357.797 and 344.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (95.08) is slightly higher than the ideal <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (66.4) is excellent, well below 90, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.214 and 2.286) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0, which is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.667 and 0.825), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (79.062) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.789). This is a significant concern, as a lower DILI percentile is preferred.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (80.574) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (32.299), but this isn't a primary driver in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.323) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.692) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.41) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-2.035) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.322 and 0.436), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.187) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.753), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (48.668) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-0.653), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.142 and 0.196).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.4 kcal/mol is significant and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI risk and poorer solubility/permeability, its significantly superior binding affinity and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) make it the more promising candidate. The strong binding affinity is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor, and the improved metabolic stability suggests a potentially longer duration of action. While the DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. Ligand B's better ADME properties are overshadowed by its weaker binding.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (46.856) has moderate clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (9.813) has very low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.252) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-16.287) has a very short half-life, which is a significant issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.04, B: 0.255), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and excellent metabolic stability, but suffers from higher DILI risk, poor solubility, poor permeability, and a very short half-life. Ligand A has a better safety profile (DILI, hERG) and acceptable metabolic stability, but has poor solubility and permeability.
Despite the strong affinity of Ligand B, the high DILI risk and very short half-life are major red flags. While solubility and permeability can sometimes be improved through formulation, a high DILI risk is harder to mitigate. The poor half-life would necessitate very frequent dosing.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the significant safety concerns with Ligand B, Ligand A is the more viable candidate, despite its lower affinity and permeability issues. Formulation strategies could be explored to address the solubility and permeability.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in safety (low DILI, low hERG) and metabolic stability (low Cl_mic, low P-gp efflux). However, its low logP and weak binding affinity are major concerns. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity and a better logP, but suffers from higher DILI risk and a shorter half-life.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.2 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. While Ligand B's DILI and half-life are not ideal, these can potentially be addressed through further optimization. The lack of significant binding from Ligand A makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, regardless of its favorable ADME properties.

* **Affinity:** A is a clear winner.
* **Metabolic Stability:** B has a much better *in vitro* half-life. A has a negative half-life, which is concerning.
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but A is slightly better.
* **hERG:** A has a lower hERG risk.
* **DILI:** A has a lower DILI risk.
**Overall Assessment:**

Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk. However, it suffers from poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has better solubility, permeability, QED, and half-life, but weaker binding affinity and a higher DILI risk.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand A are crucial. While the solubility and permeability are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The significantly lower DILI risk is also a major benefit. The difference in binding affinity (-8.9 vs -7.7 kcal/mol) is substantial and likely to be more impactful than the ADME differences.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (359.451 and 362.348 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (80.29 and 78.87) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is positive.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.631 and 1.78) are within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which *could* indicate slightly better solubility but also potentially reduced permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, well within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 4. Both are below the 10 limit.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.68 and 0.739), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 57.038, which is approaching the higher risk threshold (>60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 31.02, which is significantly better. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (70.609) has a better BBB score than Ligand A (19.116), but this is not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.362 and -5.141). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified and these values may be relative to a control.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.875 and -2.246). Similar to Caco-2, the scale is not specified. Negative values suggest poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.661 and 0.595), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (13.22 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (43.044 mL/min/kg). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, favoring Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a positive half-life (31.456 hours), while Ligand B has a negative half-life (-31.417 hours). This is highly unusual and suggests a significant issue with the experimental setup or the ligand's stability. The negative value is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.356 and 0.062), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.7 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and a more reasonable (though still concerning) in vitro half-life. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand A, combined with acceptable (though not ideal) ADME properties, makes it the more promising candidate despite the slightly elevated DILI risk. The negative half-life of Ligand B is a critical flaw.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.303 and 0.345).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.565) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (31.839). This indicates greater metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.129) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (52.438). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.128 and 0.195).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While both have acceptable MW, logP, QED, and hERG, Ligand B significantly outperforms Ligand A in several critical areas: lower DILI risk, better Caco-2 permeability, and better aqueous solubility. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B further supports this conclusion. Ligand A's poor solubility, permeability, and higher DILI risk are significant drawbacks. Although Ligand A has better metabolic stability, the other factors outweigh this advantage.

**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 85.459, while Ligand B has 77.433. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, the higher BBB value for A isn't detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.924 and -4.592), which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference isn't huge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.127 and -1.64). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a very low hERG risk (0.093), which is excellent. Ligand B has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk (0.667).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a higher microsomal clearance (47.319) than Ligand B (6.443), suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is significantly better in this regard.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-12.539), which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the molecule's stability. Ligand B has a half-life of -3.107, also problematic, but less severe.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.043 and 0.102).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol, which is excellent. Ligand B has a binding affinity of -7.1 kcal/mol, which is also good, but 1.2 kcal/mol weaker.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability for both compounds, Ligand A's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. However, the negative and problematic half-life for Ligand A is a serious concern. Ligand B has a better DILI profile, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a less problematic (though still negative) half-life. The 1.2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can often be overcome with further optimization, while fixing the stability issues of Ligand A might be more challenging.

**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration percentiles (72.237 and 70.027). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.735 and -4.812), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.821 and -4.136), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.881 and 0.864), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (98.502) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (76.184), suggesting Ligand B will be metabolized more quickly and have lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (54.026 hours) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (8.195 hours). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.526 and 0.849).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-10.0 and -9.7 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and better drug-likeness (higher QED). However, Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life. Both have poor solubility and permeability. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is important, but the DILI risk of Ligand B is concerning. The longer half-life of Ligand B *could* be improved through prodrug strategies, but the DILI risk is harder to address. The superior overall profile of Ligand A, particularly the much lower DILI risk, makes it the more promising candidate.

2025-04-17 14:00:48,502 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands (A and B) for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, following the provided guidelines.
**Ligand A:** [385.819, 55.4, 4.854, 1, 4, 0.748, 84.064, 77.472, -4.538, -6.128, 0.37, 85.406, 20.323, 0.18, -10.1]
**Ligand B:** [386.905, 74.77, 1.236, 1, 6, 0.796, 51.881, 43.699, -5.011, -2.391, 0.367, -4.425, 33.411, 0.126, -7.7]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A: 385.819, B: 386.905 - Similar.
2. **TPSA:** A (55.4) is better than B (74.77). A is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. B is still acceptable, but less optimal.
3. **logP:** A (4.854) is higher than B (1.236). A is approaching the upper limit where solubility issues might arise, while B is quite low and may have permeability issues.
4. **HBD:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** A (4) is better than B (6). Lower HBA generally favors permeability.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.748, B: 0.796), indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** A (84.064) is significantly higher than B (51.881). This is a major concern for ligand A. B is within an acceptable range.
8. **BBB:** A (77.472) is better than B (43.699), but BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.538) is worse than B (-5.011). Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
10. **Solubility:** A (-6.128) is worse than B (-2.391). Solubility is a concern for A.
11. **hERG:** Both are low (A: 0.37, B: 0.367), indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. Similar.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (85.406) is much higher than B (-4.425). This means A has significantly faster metabolic clearance and lower metabolic stability, a major drawback.
13. **t1/2:** A (20.323) is lower than B (33.411). B has a better in vitro half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Both are low (A: 0.18, B: 0.126), indicating minimal P-gp efflux. B is slightly better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-10.1) is *significantly* better than B (-7.7). This is a 2.4 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While A has a much better binding affinity, it is severely hampered by its high DILI risk, poor solubility, and high microsomal clearance. B, while having a weaker affinity, has a much better safety profile (DILI), better metabolic stability, and better solubility.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, its poor ADME properties (especially DILI and metabolic stability) make it a less viable drug candidate. Ligand B, with its better safety profile and metabolic stability, is the more promising starting point for further optimization, even though its initial affinity is lower. The affinity gap can be addressed through medicinal chemistry efforts, while fixing the ADME liabilities of Ligand A would be far more challenging.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (375.491 and 358.454 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (118.8) is slightly above the optimal <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (87.66) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.575) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.027) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (6) and Ligand B (4) are both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.637 and 0.574), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.307) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (12.214) has an even lower DILI risk, which is highly favorable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (72.819) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (34.781), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.634) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.83) is also poor, but slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.746) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-3.064) has even worse solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.092) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.318) also has a low hERG risk, but slightly higher than Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-16.932) has a very low (good) microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B (47.415) has a significantly higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.343) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-16.102) has a very short half-life, which is a major drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.019 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol), which is excellent and a key factor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.39 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (74.59 and 73.74) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.295) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.768) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 4 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.801 and 0.854), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (58.589) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (26.599) has a low DILI risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (82.164 and 84.257), which isn't crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, but isn't detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very poor permeability. However, we'll proceed with caution and consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.703) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.445), although both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (26.325 mL/min/kg) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-22.476 mL/min/kg) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible. This is a major red flag for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.568 hours) has a good half-life, while Ligand B (8.328 hours) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.204) has low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.054) has very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol) - a difference of 1.6 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the most critical factor is the binding affinity. Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage that likely outweighs the slightly lower logP and the better DILI profile. However, the negative microsomal clearance for Ligand B is a serious concern, suggesting a data error or an unphysical property. Given the importance of metabolic stability for an enzyme inhibitor, and the fact that Ligand A has a reasonable clearance, Ligand A is the more viable candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (27.414 percentile) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (37.263 percentile). This is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (92.555) has a higher BBB penetration than Ligand B (68.205), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.952 and -4.874), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.226 and -2.187), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.615) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.1), which is unfavorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.927 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.941 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.68 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. Ligand B (6.549 hours) has a reasonable half-life. The negative value for Ligand A is a major red flag.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol), a difference of 0.8 kcal/mol. While a difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant, 0.8 kcal/mol is not enough to overcome the other substantial drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable despite the negative half-life and solubility. The significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly weaker binding affinity is less concerning than the potential for liver toxicity and rapid metabolism. The negative half-life is a data error that would need to be resolved, but even without that, the other factors favor Ligand A. Ligand B's higher DILI risk and significantly higher clearance are major liabilities. The slightly better affinity isn't enough to compensate for these.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (46.049 mL/min/kg) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-0.126 mL/min/kg) has *very* low clearance (and is likely an outlier, potentially indicating high metabolic stability). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.262 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-19.811 hours) is also an outlier, and likely indicates a very long half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.114, Ligand B: 0.047).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-11.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, the combination of its higher DILI risk, worse solubility, and worse Caco-2 permeability makes it a less attractive candidate. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly its extremely low microsomal clearance and potentially very long half-life. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning, but the extremely low clearance and DILI risk are compelling. The affinity difference, while substantial, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B.

**BBB:** Ligand B (92.555) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (74.564), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.791 and -4.885), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.157 and -4.626), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.854) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.499), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.222) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.169), suggesting significantly improved metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (34.623) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-9.648), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.187 and 0.169).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive.

**BBB:** Ligand A (75.301) has better BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (45.638), but this is not a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.245 and -5.643), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.98 and -2.604), also unusual and indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.275 and 0.139), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.704) has slightly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.556), meaning it might be metabolized faster.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (9.467) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (31.201). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, suggesting less frequent dosing could be possible.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.166 and 0.017).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol), it's within the range where it could outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Both ligands have significant issues with Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility. However, Ligand B has a substantially better in vitro half-life, which is crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly better affinity of Ligand A is not enough to overcome the significantly better metabolic stability of Ligand B. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), Ligand B is the more promising candidate, despite the similar DILI risk. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the improved half-life provides a better starting point.

Ligand A has a more reasonable half-life, lower DILI, better P-gp efflux, and a slightly better hERG profile. Both compounds suffer from very poor solubility and permeability.
Given the critical importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the unrealistic half-life of Ligand B, I would prioritize Ligand A despite its slightly weaker binding affinity. The DILI risk is also a significant advantage. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but these are fixable issues.

Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a longer half-life, and a lower DILI risk. However, Ligand B has better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux. The difference in binding affinity is substantial (-8.7 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand B's metabolic stability is better, the superior potency of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful, especially considering the potential for further optimization of its metabolic properties. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand A (16.479) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (65.103), which is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (84.141) is better than Ligand B (59.442), but neither is exceptionally high.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.688) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.768) is also poor. Both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.747) and Ligand B (-2.71) both have poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.567) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.198), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.756) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-4.226). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (12.124 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (10.281 hours), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.15) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.025), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-9.0 kcal/mol and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't significantly sway the decision.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is superior in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and has a slightly better half-life. However, Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk, better TPSA, and better P-gp efflux. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar, strong binding affinities (-8.6 and -7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a deciding factor.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A has a better hERG profile and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, its DILI risk is considerably higher, and its logP is suboptimal. Ligand B has a better logP and lower DILI risk, but its half-life is impossible. Given the data quality issues with Ligand B (negative half-life), and the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, I would choose Ligand A, but with a strong caveat that the DILI risk needs to be addressed through further structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (339.4) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.08) is excellent, well below the 140 cutoff for good absorption. Ligand B (121.01) is still acceptable, but less ideal.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.429) is optimal. Ligand B (-0.479) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD/HBA counts (A: 1/5, B: 2/5), falling within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.91, B: 0.64), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand A is superior.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.658) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (39.628) is better with a lower risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (64.211) is higher, but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or modeling. However, we'll proceed assuming these represent low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again suggesting a potential issue. We'll assume these indicate low solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (A: 0.106, B: 0.25), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.223) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-21.848), indicating significantly better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.941) has a better (longer) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-27.126). This further supports its improved metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.003, B: 0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8), a difference of 0.4 kcal/mol. While affinity is paramount, the difference isn't large enough to overcome the substantial ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A excels in key ADME properties crucial for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), better logP, and a higher QED score. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the metabolic advantages of A outweigh the small affinity difference.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (366.571 and 351.535 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is better than Ligand B (61.44), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands (3.021 and 2.844) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is better than Ligand B (2). Lower HBD generally improves permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.718 and 0.693), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.402) is significantly better than Ligand B (5.584) with respect to DILI risk. Lower is better, and Ligand A is well below the 40 threshold. Ligand B is also below, but closer to the threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (76.658 and 71.966), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.926) and Ligand B (-5.011) are both negative, which is unusual. A higher value is desired, but the values are similar.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.933) is better than Ligand B (-2.479). Higher solubility is preferred.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.677 and 0.639).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (75.44) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.703). Lower clearance is preferred for better metabolic stability. Ligand B is significantly better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (12.266) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-4.231). Longer half-life is preferred.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.141 and 0.062).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.0 and -7.9 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.1 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to be a deciding factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, solubility, and in vitro half-life. Ligand B has a significant advantage in microsomal clearance. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is crucial. While Ligand A has a longer half-life, the significantly lower Cl_mic of Ligand B suggests it will be more metabolically stable *in vivo*. The better DILI and solubility of Ligand A are also important, but the difference in Cl_mic is more impactful for an enzyme target.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.419 and 391.877 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (91.94) is better than Ligand B (110.53), being closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.072) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (1.243) is slightly low, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is preferable to Ligand B (2), as fewer donors generally improve permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 6 HBA, which is acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.419 and 0.754, respectively), with Ligand B being better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.481) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (86.933). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (80.496) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (55.913), although this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, making direct comparison difficult.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual and suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unspecified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.596) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.224), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.452) has a lower Cl_mic, indicating better metabolic stability than Ligand B (41.477).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.505) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-16.471). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.311) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.207).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.6 vs -7.4 kcal/mol). However, it suffers from a higher DILI risk, lower BBB penetration, a potentially problematic negative in vitro half-life, and a lower logP. Ligand A is generally better across most ADME properties (DILI, metabolic stability, hERG, P-gp efflux), but its affinity is weaker.
Given that SRC is an enzyme, potency (affinity) is paramount. The 1.2 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While Ligand B's ADME profile is less ideal, the strong binding could be optimized through further medicinal chemistry efforts. The DILI risk is a concern, but not insurmountable.

The better QED score of Ligand B also supports its potential. The slightly higher logP of Ligand B is acceptable. The lower half-life and higher clearance of Ligand B could potentially be addressed through structural modifications in later optimization stages.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.475 and 357.401 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (78.87 and 80.32) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is favorable.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (1.485 and 2.396).
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 4 HBA, also within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.616 and 0.711), indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (5.312) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (48.468). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (68.864 and 70.531), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both show negative Caco-2 values (-4.746 and -4.609). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible and don't necessarily disqualify the compounds.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.402 and -2.989). This is concerning, as poor solubility can hinder bioavailability. Ligand B has worse solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.356 and 0.585).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.362) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.218), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.318) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-17.681). This is another advantage for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.083 and 0.093).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.5 kcal/mol, which is less significant than the ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A exhibits significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and better solubility. The small difference in binding affinity is outweighed by these crucial ADME properties.

Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. While it has some ADME liabilities (slightly higher hERG, lower metabolic stability, and solubility), the potency advantage is substantial. Ligand A has better metabolic stability, DILI risk, and half-life, but its significantly weaker binding affinity is a major drawback. The solubility and permeability issues are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

Despite Ligand B's slightly lower metabolic stability, the significantly lower DILI risk outweighs this drawback. DILI is a common reason for drug failure, and a high DILI risk is almost always disqualifying. While metabolic stability can sometimes be improved through structural modifications, mitigating a high DILI risk is often much more challenging.

Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. While both ligands have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand A demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is outweighed by its significantly worse ADME profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (369.443 and 347.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (108.83) is higher than Ligand B (74.09). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is better positioned for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.604) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.586) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (1) are both acceptable, below the threshold of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (A: 7, B: 7) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.617, B: 0.712), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, low DILI risk (A: 44.048, B: 43.738), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (47.111) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (28.655), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.123 and -5.142), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.333 and -2.243), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.179, B: 0.301), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.669 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.612 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-34.506 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or the model. Ligand B (-1.861 hours) also has a negative half-life, which is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.076, B: 0.122).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (A: -9.0 kcal/mol, B: -9.1 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand A is slightly favored due to its significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) and a slightly better (though still problematic) in vitro half-life. The binding affinity is comparable. The negative half-life values are concerning and would need to be investigated further, but the other ADME properties lean slightly towards A.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (373.503 and 349.435 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (74.25) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (104.29) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.905) is at the higher end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (0.492) is significantly lower, which could impede permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.613 and 0.675), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 81.66, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 35.169, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (59.946 and 53.974). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and require experimental validation.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.408 and -0.839). This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.64) has a moderate hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.053) has a very low risk, a substantial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (75.376) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (13.906) has a very low clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (59.899) has a reasonable half-life, but Ligand B (17.779) has a shorter half-life, which is a disadvantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.654) has moderate P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.002) has very low efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning, its significantly lower DILI risk, hERG risk, and P-gp efflux, coupled with its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better binding affinity, outweigh the drawbacks. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major red flag. Solubility issues can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies, but mitigating a high DILI risk is far more challenging.

Ligand A has better physicochemical properties (logP, TPSA, DILI) but a weaker binding affinity. The negative values for Cl_mic and t1/2 for both are concerning and likely indicate issues with the prediction method.
Despite the DILI risk, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is likely to be the deciding factor, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The potency advantage is large enough to potentially overcome the other drawbacks.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 5 HBAs, which is acceptable.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.8 and 0.795) well above the 0.5 threshold, indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 60.644, placing it at a moderate risk. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 31.756, which is a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.466) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (57.464).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.988 and -4.973). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. It's possible these values are errors or represent very low permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.884 and -1.957), which is also unusual and suggests poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.261 and 0.164), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (17.637 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (28.68 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer in vitro half-life (-14.979 hours) than Ligand B (-9.149 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.043 and 0.028).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a 1.7 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the concerning negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand A appears to be the more promising candidate. The significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and superior binding affinity outweigh the slightly higher DILI risk. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values would need to be investigated further, but the potency advantage is significant for an enzyme target. Ligand B's lower DILI is attractive, but the weaker binding and poorer metabolic stability are less desirable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (367.45 and 348.49 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (90.98) is slightly higher than Ligand B (58.64). Both are acceptable, but B is better for permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.164 and 2.509), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.558 and 0.686), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (66.421) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (17.255). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (78.558 and 75.805). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but it's good to know.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.85) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.899) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.077 and -3.035). This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.386 and 0.261).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.47 mL/min/kg) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (58.096 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-26.678 hours) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a red flag and suggests an issue with the data or the compound itself. Ligand B (-11.814 hours) is also negative, but less so. Both are problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.137 and 0.085).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.6 kcal/mol, which is not enough to overcome the other issues.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its significantly higher DILI risk, very poor Caco-2 permeability, and impossible half-life make it a much less viable candidate. Ligand B, while also having poor solubility and a negative half-life, has a much better safety profile (DILI) and slightly better permeability. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is important, and Ligand A has an edge there, but the other issues are too significant.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.33 and 354.54 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (51.66) is significantly better than Ligand B (72.8). A TPSA under 90 is generally acceptable, and A is much closer to the desirable <60 for good permeability.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.40 and 2.16), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand A is slightly higher, which could be beneficial for membrane permeability, but not dramatically so.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is preferable to Ligand B (3). Fewer H-bond donors generally improve permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 H-bond acceptors, which is within the acceptable range of <=10.

**8. BBB:** Both ligands have reasonably high BBB penetration (83.25 and 73.71). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but higher is generally better.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not well-defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unclear, but both appear to have poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.78 and 0.78).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (40.05) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (54.09), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-5.26) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (5.78) is reasonable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.41 and 0.45).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5), but the difference is relatively small (0.4 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand B appears to be the better candidate *despite* the nonsensical negative half-life value. The lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are significant advantages. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is a bonus. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data error that would need to be resolved, but assuming it's corrected to a reasonable value, it would be preferred. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major concern.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (372.255 Da and 368.478 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (46.92) is significantly better than Ligand B (88.32). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this limit, but A is more favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.596) is higher than Ligand B (1.911). While both are within the acceptable range (1-3), A is pushing the upper limit and could potentially have solubility issues. B is closer to the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED values (0.731 and 0.848), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (72.819 and 70.531), indicating moderate risk. This isn't a major differentiating factor.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (67.197 and 65.839). Not a major concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.637) is worse than Ligand B (-5.062). Lower values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.713) is worse than Ligand B (-3.629). Lower values indicate lower solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.855) is better than Ligand B (0.402). Lower hERG inhibition is preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (44.326) is higher than Ligand B (36.377), indicating faster clearance and lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (44.56) is significantly better than Ligand B (3.472).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.516) is better than Ligand B (0.047). Lower P-gp efflux is preferred.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0). This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol vs -9.0 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. It also has better solubility, Caco-2 permeability, and P-gp efflux. While Ligand A has better hERG inhibition and in vitro half-life, the superior binding affinity of Ligand B outweighs these advantages. The slightly higher logP of Ligand A is a concern, and its lower solubility and permeability are also drawbacks.

Ligand B, while having slightly weaker binding and poorer metabolic stability, has a much lower DILI risk, significantly better half-life, and a lower hERG risk. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI and hERG risk, and the improved half-life of Ligand B are more important than the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerns, but can potentially be addressed through formulation.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.523 and 375.872 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is significantly better than Ligand B (69.81). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.334 and 2.64), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10, but A is preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.571 and 0.793), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (46.995) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (10.585). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration, but Ligand B (91.392) is slightly better than Ligand A (63.086). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it is difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unspecified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.825) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.719), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (94.58) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.677). This means Ligand B is much more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (9.271) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (8.953).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.693) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.38), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has better TPSA and DILI, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 vs -9.0 kcal/mol) and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly lower P-gp efflux is a minor drawback. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning but difficult to assess without knowing the scale. Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the potency and metabolic stability of Ligand B are more important than the slightly better TPSA and DILI of Ligand A.

Ligand A has a better binding affinity and QED score, and slightly better half-life. However, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and slightly better metabolic stability. Both have poor predicted solubility and permeability. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety (DILI) for enzyme inhibitors, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, Ligand B is the slightly more promising candidate. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed through further optimization.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.207) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.767), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (9.355) has a lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is a key priority for enzymes. Ligand B (94.643) has a very high clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (32.58) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-5.757), which is a strong advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.149) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable for bioavailability. Ligand B (0.73) has higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it is still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, the extremely high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short half-life) make it a significantly less desirable candidate. Ligand A, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life). The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the other factors strongly favor Ligand A.

**BBB:** Ligand A (68.554) and Ligand B (71.888) both have acceptable BBB penetration, but not exceptionally high. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-4.794 and -4.611), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-2.483 and -2.945), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.456) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.704). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.77) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.272), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.114) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error. Ligand B (30.377) has a good in vitro half-life.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.403 and 355.341 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.78) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (112.73) is still reasonable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.03) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.922) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.809) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.631) is still good, exceeding the 0.5 threshold.
**DILI:** Ligand A (54.207) has a moderate DILI risk, but is acceptable. Ligand B (33.928) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.233) is higher than Ligand B (65.801).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.65) is poor, suggesting low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.702) is also poor, but slightly worse.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.016) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.163) is slightly higher.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B's substantially superior binding affinity (-8.1 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. The lower DILI risk and better BBB are also positives. Ligand A's lower clearance is beneficial, but the significantly weaker binding and higher DILI risk are major concerns.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.81) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.672), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (27.336) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (51.609), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonably high BBB penetration (Ligand A: 78.79, Ligand B: 73.866), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, the magnitude is similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the magnitude is similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.076) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.262), a critical safety parameter.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.128) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.992), indicating faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-26.122) has a significantly longer *in vitro* half-life than Ligand A (-8.765), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.112, Ligand B: 0.11).

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.383 and 345.33 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.19) is significantly better than Ligand B (115.36). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B's TPSA is getting higher and could potentially impact absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.735 and 1.857), falling within the 1-3 optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5). Lower HBD is generally preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.75 and 0.715), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (75.339 and 74.021), which is moderately high but not alarming.
**BBB:** Ligand A (64.948) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (22.528). While SRC isn't a CNS target, better BBB penetration can sometimes correlate with better overall bioavailability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.953 and -4.848), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.287 and -3.856), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.356 and 0.442), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.688) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (10.998). Lower clearance is preferred for metabolic stability, so Ligand B is better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (89.733) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (32.979), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.069), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand A's substantially superior binding affinity (-9.1 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The difference in potency is large enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities, especially given that formulation strategies can sometimes address solubility issues. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and higher t1/2), but the potency difference is too significant to ignore.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.984 and -4.675). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a strange scale, and their absolute meaning is unclear without context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.798 and -2.928). Similar to Caco-2, this is unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.174) shows a significantly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.314), which is a substantial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.793) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.595), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.651) has a more negative in vitro half-life, which is unusual and suggests a shorter half-life. Ligand B (-15.881) is even more negative, indicating very poor stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.035 and 0.073).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a 0.7 kcal/mol difference, which is significant but not overwhelming.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates a significantly lower hERG risk, lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh the small binding affinity difference. The improved safety profile (hERG, DILI) and metabolic stability are crucial for kinase inhibitors.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have a reasonable number of HBD (0) and HBA (3 & 4 respectively), falling within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.474 and 0.678), indicating reasonable drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (10.934) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.691), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (92.555) has a higher BBB score, but this is not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.406) is better than Ligand B (-5.054), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.501) is better than Ligand B (-4.732), which is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have relatively low hERG risk (0.621 and 0.769), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (79.046) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (107.866), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (39.258) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (4.61), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.127 and 0.732).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of 2.3 kcal/mol is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity and a longer half-life, which are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a higher logP, a higher DILI risk, and lower solubility. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, better permeability, better metabolic stability), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, I believe Ligand B is the more promising candidate, despite its ADME liabilities. The potency advantage is likely to be more impactful than the ADME concerns, which can potentially be addressed through further optimization.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial. Ligand A has better affinity and significantly better metabolic stability. However, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and a better logP. The solubility is poor for both.
**Overall Assessment:** While Ligand A has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability, Ligand B's significantly lower DILI risk and more favorable logP make it a more promising starting point. The 1.2 kcal/mol difference in affinity can potentially be overcome with further optimization, but mitigating the DILI risk early in the process is highly desirable. The poor solubility of both compounds is a concern that would need to be addressed.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a critical advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower DILI risk. While its logP is low and Caco-2 permeability is poor, the strong binding affinity is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. The lower DILI risk is also a significant benefit. Ligand A has better solubility and half-life, but the much weaker binding and higher DILI risk are substantial drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (368.405 and 345.399 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (89.26 and 86.88) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.495 and 2.231) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are acceptable, staying within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.821 and 0.867), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 75.378, which is concerning (high risk). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 36.487, which is favorable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (61.923) and Ligand B (41.218) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.946 and -4.981), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.753 and -2.25), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a major issue for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.563 and 0.416), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (26.726) than Ligand B (56.313), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer half-life (35.87 hours) than Ligand B (-9.407 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is problematic and suggests rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.44 and 0.074).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-10 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have issues with Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly superior binding affinity (-10 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher microsomal clearance. Furthermore, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (36.487 vs 75.378) and a more reasonable (though still problematic) in vitro half-life compared to Ligand A. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but the potency and safety profile of Ligand B make it the better starting point.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.429 and 0.011), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-9.2 and -6.7 kcal/mol). Ligand A is significantly more potent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor solubility, poor permeability, higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and very poor metabolic stability (high clearance, short half-life).
Ligand B has a weaker binding affinity, but it has significantly better ADME properties: lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, excellent metabolic stability, and slightly better solubility. While the logP is suboptimal, the other improvements are substantial.
Considering the balance, the improved ADME profile of Ligand B outweighs the potency difference, especially given that further optimization could potentially improve its binding affinity. The poor ADME properties of Ligand A are likely to be insurmountable hurdles in development.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.813 and 0.836), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (46.801 and 63.513), with Ligand A being slightly better. Both are acceptable, below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (63.784 and 66.033). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.05 and -5.018). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are very close, so it's not a major differentiator.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.267) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.841). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.8 and 0.724), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (117.764) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.072). This means Ligand A is likely to be metabolized more quickly, leading to a shorter half-life. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (26.868) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (3.194). This is consistent with the higher clearance.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.706 and 0.281), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-7.7 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better logP and DILI score, Ligand B is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer half-life. The solubility of Ligand A is also worse. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability is crucial for maintaining therapeutic concentrations. The minimal difference in binding affinity doesn't outweigh the substantial difference in pharmacokinetic properties.

**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.547 and 0.537), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (14.114) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.964). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (45.832) is lower than Ligand B (36.293), but neither are particularly high.
**9. Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.702) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.255), but both are quite poor.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.45) has better solubility than Ligand B (-1.262). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.462 and 0.408), which is excellent.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (34.29) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (2.397). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is a key advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (-15.637) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (14.657). Again, this favors Ligand B.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have low Pgp efflux liability (0.269 and 0.03).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is significant, but needs to be weighed against other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand A has significantly lower DILI risk, better solubility, and a more favorable TPSA. The difference in binding affinity (0.4 kcal/mol) is not large enough to outweigh the substantial advantage of Ligand A's safety profile (DILI) and solubility. The slightly lower Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 5 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both have reasonable QED scores (0.77 and 0.6), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (27.918) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (11.632), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (90.694 and 97.247), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are specifically desired.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.845) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.43) is slightly better but still not great.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.925) and B (-1.257) have poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.105) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.698), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.12) has a negative clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (53.442) has high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.93) has a negative half-life, suggesting excellent stability. Ligand B (22.753) has a moderate half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.032) has low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.185) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage for A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's low logP and solubility, its *significantly* stronger binding affinity (-8.5 vs 0 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (negative clearance/half-life) make it the more promising candidate. The lower hERG risk is also a plus. While Ligand B has a better logP and TPSA, its poor metabolic stability and weak binding affinity are major concerns for an enzyme inhibitor.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.828 and 0.885), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (45.677) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (21.753), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration, but Ligand A (96.084) is better than Ligand B (83.249). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model's prediction. However, the values are similarly poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model's prediction. However, the values are similarly poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.657) shows a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.68), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (62.55) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (14.636), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.387) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.066), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage and can potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI and clearance, its *significantly* stronger binding affinity (-8.8 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. A >8 kcal/mol difference in binding is substantial and suggests a much higher probability of target engagement and efficacy. The metabolic stability issue could be addressed through structural modifications in later optimization stages. The similar solubility and permeability issues for both ligands are concerning but don't differentiate them.

**7. DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (39.201 and 41.062), which is favorable.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (74.952) shows moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (46.84) is lower. This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but still a consideration.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.616) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (-5.989) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.105) and Ligand B (-0.582) both have poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0). This is a crucial factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A boasts a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and moderate metabolic clearance. Ligand B, while having a much weaker binding affinity, exhibits excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic), very low P-gp efflux, and very low hERG risk. The extremely weak binding affinity of Ligand B is a major drawback, and the difference in affinity (-9.0 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is substantial. While optimizing ADME properties is important, a compound *must* bind to its target.

**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (77.007) has a higher score than Ligand A (48.119).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are percentile scores, Ligand A (-4.676) is worse than Ligand B (-5.305).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (0.411) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-3.447) has even worse solubility. This is a significant drawback for both, but more so for Ligand B.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.077) has a very low (and negative) clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (22.169) has a much higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism. This is a critical advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.111) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (25.031) has a good half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.016, B: 0.091).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the significantly higher DILI risk and faster metabolic clearance (lower stability) are major concerns. Ligand A, while having a slightly lower affinity and poor solubility, exhibits a much better safety profile (low DILI, low hERG) and excellent metabolic stability. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a data quality issue that needs to be investigated, but the other properties strongly favor it. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.483 and 350.507 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is significantly better than Ligand B (59.39), being well below the 140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.891 and 2.29) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (1 each). Ligand B has a slightly higher HBA count (5 vs 2 for A), but both are under the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.596 and 0.694), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.789) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (8.143). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (75.572) is better than Ligand A (65.801). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.776 and -4.808), indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.496) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.413), but both are poor. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.254) shows much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.791). This is a critical advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both have similar microsomal clearance values (40.554 and 43.118), suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-15.106) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-5.921), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.131) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.298).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (0.0) has a better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. However, Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and slightly better metabolic stability and permeability. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the substantial binding affinity advantage of Ligand B, I would prioritize it despite the slightly higher risk profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (369.845 Da and 344.415 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (73.86) is better than Ligand B (79.54), both are acceptable but lower is better for absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.892 and 1.682), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD, while Ligand B has 0. Both are acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBAs, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.591 and 0.777), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 67.119, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 35.479, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.282) and Ligand B (90.151). BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B is better here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.605 and -4.968). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values indicate very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.235) and Ligand B (-1.831). Both have poor solubility. Ligand B is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.413) is better than Ligand B (0.077), indicating a lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (66.094) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.249), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (19.032) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (10.028), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.432 and 0.079).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.0 and -8.3 kcal/mol). Ligand B has a slightly better affinity.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have excellent binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME properties. Specifically, its much lower DILI risk and lower microsomal clearance are crucial advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. Although both have poor solubility and permeability, the lower clearance and DILI risk of Ligand B outweigh the slightly longer half-life of Ligand A. The slightly better hERG profile of Ligand A is not enough to compensate for the ADME advantages of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.406 and 347.459 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.64) is better than Ligand B (84.23) as it is closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (1.522 and 2.99 respectively), falling within the 1-3 optimal range. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially raising concerns about off-target effects, but not critically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 3 HBAs and Ligand B has 4. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.869 and 0.743), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.254) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (41.877), making it more favorable. Both are below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (78.48 and 71.074), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.769 and -4.665), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.721 and -3.557) indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.544) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.133). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.875) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (68.328). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.101) has a better (longer) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-15.859).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.037) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.123).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B. A >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand B's significantly superior binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. While Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, hERG, Cl_mic, Pgp, and better half-life), the potency difference is too large to ignore for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Improving ADME properties is often achievable through further optimization, but significantly improving binding affinity is much more challenging.

2. **TPSA:** A (117.59) is better than B (49.85). While both are reasonably low, A is closer to the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
3. **logP:** B (2.637) is optimal (1-3). A (0.387) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. This is a significant drawback for A.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable, B (0) is excellent.
5. **HBA:** Both A (6) and B (5) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both A (0.637) and B (0.752) are good, indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** Both A (57.852) and B (58.434) are similar and acceptable (below 60).
8. **BBB:** B (88.678) is much higher than A (59.597). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.432) is very poor, indicating extremely low intestinal absorption. B (-4.412) is also poor, but better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.586) is poor, while B (-3.364) is also poor. Both are concerning, but B is slightly better.
11. **hERG:** A (0.113) is very low risk, excellent. B (0.605) is higher, but still relatively low risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-1.132) is excellent (negative value indicates low clearance/high stability). B (76.861) is high, suggesting rapid metabolism. This is a major drawback for B.
13. **t1/2:** A (-26.275) is excellent (very long half-life). B (9.349) is reasonable, but significantly shorter than A.

15. **Affinity:** A (-7.8) is significantly better than B (0.0). A has a strong binding affinity.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and excellent metabolic stability (low Cl_mic, long t1/2), and low Pgp efflux. However, its low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability are major concerns. Ligand B has a better logP and Caco-2, but suffers from high metabolic clearance and a much weaker binding affinity.
The strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage that could potentially outweigh its permeability issues, *especially* if formulation strategies can be employed to improve solubility and absorption. The poor metabolic stability of Ligand B is a more difficult hurdle to overcome.
Therefore, despite its permeability concerns, **Ligand A is the more promising candidate.** Further optimization efforts should focus on improving its logP and solubility while maintaining its strong binding affinity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (382.247 and 349.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (84.22) is better than Ligand B (72.88) as both are below the 140 threshold for good absorption.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (3.035) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.623) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, also within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.721) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.473), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**7. DILI:** Ligand B (5.118) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (87.786), which is a major concern.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (36.022) and Ligand B (20.357) are both low.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.542) and Ligand B (-4.884) are both negative, indicating poor permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.058) and Ligand B (-0.817) are both negative, indicating poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.029) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.074), but both are very low risk.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-7.553) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (17.902), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (0.822) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.287).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.052) has a slightly better P-gp efflux profile than Ligand B (0.008).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better QED and a marginally better hERG profile, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The most critical factors are the significantly lower DILI risk, the much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a drawback, but the strong affinity can likely compensate for this. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The DILI risk for Ligand A is unacceptably high.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.459 and 345.487 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.32) is slightly higher than Ligand B (54.34). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is significantly better.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.685 and 3.282), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially leading to some solubility concerns, but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.72 and 0.805), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.299) has a slightly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.891), both are below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (77.162 and 71.501), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.365 and -4.669). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and need to be interpreted cautiously.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.741 and -3.628). Again, these are on a log scale and indicate poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.458 and 0.469), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (58.594) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (74.185), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.19 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-27.34 hours). The negative value for Ligand A is concerning and likely indicates very rapid metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 and 0.299).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 0.5 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is superior in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and has a better TPSA. Both have poor solubility and permeability (indicated by the negative Caco-2 and solubility values). However, for a kinase inhibitor, metabolic stability and a reasonable half-life are crucial. The 0.5 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is unlikely to overcome the significant advantage Ligand B has in terms of pharmacokinetic properties.

**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.296 and 1.383), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly lower, which could potentially impact permeability, but it's not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1-4 HBD/HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.831 and 0.845), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (28.62) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (33.70), which is a crucial advantage. Lower DILI is always preferred.
**BBB:** Ligand A (95.43) has much better BBB penetration than Ligand B (52.77). While SRC is not necessarily a CNS target, better BBB penetration can sometimes correlate with better overall distribution.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, suggesting poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.489 and 0.209), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both have similar microsomal clearance values (19.88 and 20.72), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.095) has a slightly worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (2.634).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.09 and 0.022).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, as a 1.9 kcal/mol difference in binding can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks, especially for an enzyme target.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better TPSA, BBB, and DILI, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.6 vs -9.5 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The potency advantage outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and lower BBB penetration. Both have poor solubility and permeability, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.011) has a very low hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.369) has a slightly elevated, but still relatively low, risk.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.905) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.581), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have negative half-life values (-21.112 and -22.067), which is not physically possible. These values are likely errors or represent a different scale.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.012) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.111) has slightly higher efflux.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a major advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor is potency. Ligand A's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is a substantial advantage that likely outweighs its higher DILI risk and slightly lower metabolic stability. The lower P-gp efflux and very low hERG risk for Ligand A are also favorable. The DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, but could potentially be mitigated through structural modifications in further optimization.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.43) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, while Ligand B (95.42) is approaching the upper limit, but still acceptable.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.241) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (1.333) is at the lower end, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 4 HBAs, and Ligand B has 5 HBAs, both are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.561 and 0.826), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 69.407, which is concerning as it's above the 60 threshold. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 49.593, which is preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration (76.774) than Ligand A (38.387), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.202) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.612) is slightly better, but still low.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.905) and Ligand B (-2.525) both have poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.637) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.144), which is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (67.61) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.799), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a crucial disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-33.941) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-3.903), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.495) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.015), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 0.9 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its significantly higher DILI risk, poor Caco-2 permeability, higher microsomal clearance, and shorter half-life make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B, while having slightly lower affinity, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and acceptable TPSA. The affinity difference, while notable, can potentially be optimized during lead optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (336.395 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (358.511 Da) is also well within the range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.25) is better than Ligand B (51.02). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.952, B: 3.821), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which *could* lead to some solubility issues, but is still acceptable.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.328, B: 0.664).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, and the 0.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While both have solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -8.3 kcal/mol), a lower DILI risk (55.525 vs 75.184), and a longer in vitro half-life (3.127 vs 26.246). The better binding affinity and lower toxicity risk outweigh the slightly higher logP and lower metabolic stability. Ligand A's poor solubility and short half-life are major drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (365.5) is slightly better, being closer to the lower end which can aid permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.53) is significantly better than Ligand B (88.61). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.475) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.392) is pushing the upper limit. High logP can lead to solubility issues and off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 7 HBA). Both are within acceptable ranges, but fewer H-bonds generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.87) has a much better QED score than Ligand B (0.343), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (87.515) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (48.081). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (79.372) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (49.515).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.669) shows better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.843).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.867 and -4.175 respectively). This is a significant drawback for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.507) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.915). This is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (52.576) has a slightly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (60.895), suggesting better metabolic stability. However, the difference isn't huge.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (66.864) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.284). This is a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.326 and 0.82 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (0.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. While both have poor solubility, Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG risk), better drug-likeness (higher QED), and better permeability characteristics (lower TPSA, better Caco-2). The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the high DILI risk is a major red flag. The slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand B is not enough to overcome the other significant drawbacks.

Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better Cl_mic, better solubility), but its binding affinity is very weak.
The difference in binding affinity (7.6 kcal/mol) is substantial and likely outweighs the ADME concerns of Ligand A, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability are also concerning, but these can often be addressed through formulation strategies. The weak binding of Ligand B is a more fundamental issue that would be difficult to overcome.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol), but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has several advantages: better QED, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A has a significantly lower hERG risk and DILI risk. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but the difference in hERG risk is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors. Given the importance of minimizing off-target effects and cardiotoxicity for kinase inhibitors, the lower hERG risk of Ligand A is a major advantage. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B doesn't outweigh the higher hERG risk.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.483 and 367.471 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.35) is better than Ligand B (98.66), being comfortably under the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-1.16) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation, while Ligand B (1.724) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (1) are both acceptable, below the threshold of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (6) are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.541 and 0.632), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (5.312) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (37.65), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (22.838) has a very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (83.172) is much better. However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.024 and -5.216), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.133 and -2.52), which is also a concern. Ligand B is worse in this regard.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.217 and 0.165), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.271) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.791), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.341) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand B (0.867) is better, but still relatively short.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.208).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a 0.7 kcal/mol stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's better logP and binding affinity, Ligand A exhibits significantly lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the lower DILI and Cl_mic for Ligand A are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The binding affinity difference, while notable, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A.

The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the metabolic advantages of Ligand A outweigh these concerns, as solubility/permeability can be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.427 and 349.431 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (76.02 and 75.88) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands (1.014 and 1.544) are within the optimal 1-3 range.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are acceptable (<=10).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.759 and 0.779), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (16.828) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.807). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (46.413) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (84.257). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.161) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.463), but both are negative values which is not ideal.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.826) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-0.774), but both are negative values which is not ideal.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.103 and 0.159).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.245) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.248). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.093) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-14.564), which is a negative.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (361.467) and B (346.431) are both acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (72.27) is better than B (83.89). Both are below 140, suggesting reasonable absorption.
3. **logP:** Both are very similar and optimal (around 1.9). A (1.904) and B (1.912) are both good.
4. **HBD:** A (0) is preferable to B (1). Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
5. **HBA:** Both have 5 HBA, which is acceptable (<=10).
6. **QED:** Both are good, with A (0.788) and B (0.817) both exceeding 0.5.
7. **DILI:** A (52.423) is slightly higher than B (34.238), indicating a somewhat higher potential for liver injury. B is preferable here.
8. **BBB:** A (73.129) is better than B (45.522). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, higher BBB is generally favorable.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.11) is worse than B (-4.855). Higher values are better, indicating better absorption. B is preferable.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.326) is worse than B (-1.294). Higher values are better, indicating better solubility. B is preferable.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low (A: 0.266, B: 0.183), indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. B is slightly better.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (24.435) is better than B (21.326). Lower clearance is preferred for better metabolic stability. A is preferable.
13. **t1/2:** A (-0.616) is worse than B (34.124). Longer half-life is preferred. B is significantly better.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.273) is better than B (0.04). Lower Pgp efflux is preferred. A is preferable.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-9.6) is significantly better than B (-8.1). This is a 1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity (-9.6 kcal/mol vs -8.1 kcal/mol). It also has better *in vitro* metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and Pgp efflux. However, Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, better solubility, better Caco-2 permeability, and a significantly longer *in vitro* half-life.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (SRC), potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The 1.5 kcal/mol advantage of ligand A is significant. While ligand B has better ADME properties overall, the superior binding affinity of ligand A is likely to be more critical for achieving efficacy. The slightly higher DILI risk of A can be investigated and potentially mitigated during further optimization.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand A** as the more promising drug candidate.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (45.48) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (127.68) is still reasonable, but higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.927) is at the higher end of the optimal range (1-3), but acceptable. Ligand B (1.419) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (2 HBD, 8 HBA) is also acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly impact permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.797) is very good, indicating strong drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.442) is lower, suggesting a less ideal drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.75) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (98.953) has a very high DILI risk, a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (74.719) is moderate, while Ligand B (45.134) is lower.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but less so for a kinase inhibitor where other routes of access might be relevant.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.861) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.164 mL/min/kg) is better (lower clearance) than Ligand B (47.383 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (47.051 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (21.234 hours), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.413) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.171), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.5+ kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is clearly superior. It has a better QED score, significantly lower DILI risk, better hERG profile, improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and, most importantly, a much stronger binding affinity. While both have solubility and permeability issues, these are less critical for a kinase inhibitor and can be addressed through formulation. The high DILI risk associated with Ligand B is a major red flag.

**DILI:** Ligand A (47.421) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.45), which is already approaching the higher risk threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand A (61.225) is slightly better than Ligand B (57.619). BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.252 and -5.268), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.257 and -2.741), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.285) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.453), which is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-8.489) exhibits significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.859), suggesting much better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.165) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-2.318), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.014) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.11) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic), and slightly higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (QED, DILI, hERG, Cl_mic, Pgp), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the substantial affinity difference, the benefits of Ligand B appear to outweigh its drawbacks, *provided* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability are major concerns, but the potency advantage is significant.

Ligand B has a more favorable ADME profile (better metabolic stability, solubility, and half-life) but weaker binding affinity.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (SRC), potency is crucial. The 0.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and could outweigh the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A *if* the metabolic instability can be addressed through structural modifications. However, the negative half-life is a major red flag. Ligand B, while less potent, presents a more immediately viable starting point due to its better ADME properties.

**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.847) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-15.948). A negative value for Ligand B indicates *very* high metabolic stability, which is a major advantage.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (25.217) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (-17.706) suggests an extremely long half-life, which is highly desirable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.252 and 0.033).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.4 and -7.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. However, the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B clearly outperforms Ligand A in several critical areas for an enzyme target: logP (better permeability), microsomal clearance (much higher stability), and in vitro half-life (extremely long). While Ligand A has a slightly lower DILI risk, the benefits of Ligand B's improved ADME properties, particularly its metabolic stability and half-life, outweigh this minor drawback. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is also a plus, though not decisive.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.605 and 0.824), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.299) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (55.874), which is favorable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (66.848) is better than Ligand B (54.207).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.075 and -4.893), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.929 and -4.332), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.117) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.399) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.783) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.897), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.071) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the molecule. Ligand B (-13.006) also has a negative half-life, indicating a similar issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.093), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and a more optimal logP. However, both ligands suffer from extremely poor solubility and permeability (negative Caco-2 and solubility values) and negative half-lives, which are critical issues. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a significantly lower hERG risk, but its lower affinity and very low logP are concerning.
Despite the poor solubility and permeability, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate *if* these solubility/permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications. The negative half-lives are a data quality concern that needs investigation.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.406 and 349.333 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (50.6) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (78.62) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.343) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (3.01) is at the higher end of optimal, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, which is favorable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.82) has a very good drug-likeness score. Ligand B (0.641) is still acceptable, but lower than A.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.77) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (77.162) has a significantly higher DILI risk, which is concerning.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.072) is higher than Ligand B (73.129).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, and negative values might indicate a percentile below a certain threshold.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.562) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.789), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.721) has much lower clearance than Ligand B (85.597), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.039) has a very short half-life. Ligand B (17.594) has a significantly longer half-life, which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.055) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.398), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability), and a shorter half-life. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, lower clearance, lower P-gp efflux, better TPSA), but a weaker binding affinity.
The difference in binding affinity (-9.5 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is a 1.6 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities of Ligand B, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. The metabolic instability is also a concern, but could potentially be addressed. The solubility and permeability issues are common and can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**BBB:** Both ligands show good BBB penetration (70.609 and 75.107), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.191) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is problematic and suggests poor permeability. Ligand B (-4.79) is also negative, but slightly less so.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.177) and Ligand B (-2.121) both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can sometimes be mitigated through formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.488 and 0.388), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.981) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.467), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (23.052) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-9.133), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.063 and 0.082).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (over 1.5 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability and half-life. However, its high DILI risk and poor Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage that could potentially outweigh the DILI and permeability concerns, *provided* these can be addressed through further optimization. However, the DILI risk is substantial. Ligand B, while safer, may not be potent enough to be a viable drug candidate.
Considering the balance, and the potential to optimize around the DILI/permeability issues, I would initially favor Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.423 and 343.427 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (93.73) is slightly higher than the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (66.65) is excellent, well below 90, suggesting good permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.22 and 2.322) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is good. Ligand B (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is also very good, with fewer H-bonds potentially aiding permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.701 and 0.773), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (83.598) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.524). This is a significant concern, as a lower DILI score is highly desirable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (91.198) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (65.607), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very low permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or low solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.556) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.377), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.616) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (42.148), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-17.484) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-12.319), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.229) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.173), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.5 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better metabolic stability and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.1 vs -6.5 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits a much lower DILI risk (31.524 vs 83.598), which is a crucial safety parameter. The slightly better half-life of Ligand B also contributes to its favorability. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning and would require further investigation, but the overall profile of Ligand B is more promising.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.391 and 366.358 Da) are within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (105.04 and 103.7) below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.059) is slightly below the optimal range (1-3), potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (-0.054) is also low, with similar concerns.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 7 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) both fall within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.761 and 0.752), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.831) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (52.423). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (59.131 and 31.834), which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands show poor Caco-2 permeability (-5.474 and -5.248), suggesting potential absorption issues.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.436 and -0.513). This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.222 and 0.05), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-45.013) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.24). This suggests much better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (24.009 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (0.966 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux (0.013 and 0.012), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). While the difference is relatively small, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI risk, despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. The solubility is a concern for both, but the metabolic advantage of A is more crucial for an enzyme target. The slightly better affinity of B is unlikely to overcome the substantial differences in metabolic stability and DILI.

**DILI:** Ligand A (34.393) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (89.221). This is a significant advantage for A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (64.948) is better than Ligand B (43.583).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or modeling. However, the magnitude of the negative value is similar, so it doesn't strongly differentiate them.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. Again, the values are similar, so this isn't a major differentiator.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.664) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.015). This is a point in favor of B, but the value for A is still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.558) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (0.809). This indicates better metabolic stability for A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.183) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.04), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.3 and -8.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.3 kcal/mol), but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor on its own.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly lower hERG risk, Ligand A excels in critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. The TPSA is also much more favorable for absorption. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but don't definitively rule either out without further investigation.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.666) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-22.728) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and indicates a potential data error or unusual metabolic stability. This is a huge positive for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (44.8) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (31.773) is lower, but the negative clearance suggests a longer *in vivo* half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.724) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.007) has very low efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.8 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (367.471 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (338.499 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (93.46) is slightly higher than Ligand B (42.22). Both are below 140, suggesting reasonable absorption, but Ligand B's lower TPSA is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.377) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (4.964) is higher, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, fitting well within the guidelines. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (Ligand A: 0.721, Ligand B: 0.546), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (Ligand A: 43.195, Ligand B: 39.628), which is positive.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (92.284) is significantly better than Ligand A (68.941). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both, but potentially more problematic for Ligand B due to its higher logP.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.269) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.926) has a higher, though still moderate, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (44.479) has lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability than Ligand B (62.002). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (35.002) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (0.562). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.049) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.966) has higher P-gp efflux, potentially reducing bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is noteworthy, but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in hERG risk, P-gp efflux, and metabolic stability. Ligand B has a longer half-life and slightly better binding affinity, and better BBB penetration (less relevant here). However, Ligand B's higher logP and associated potential solubility issues, combined with its higher P-gp efflux, are significant drawbacks. Both ligands have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to overcome the ADME liabilities. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the better metabolic stability and lower toxicity profile of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate, despite the slightly weaker binding.

**DILI:** Ligand A (53.858) has a moderate DILI risk, but is acceptable. Ligand B (25.165) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (40.52 and 37.379 respectively), which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.291 and -5.336), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.68 and -1.767), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.208 and 0.062), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.82 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (14.702 mL/min/kg), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.267 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates a significant issue. Ligand A (20.371 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 and 0.017), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol), a difference of 0.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, its significantly lower QED score, negative in vitro half-life, and very poor solubility are major red flags. Ligand A, while having a lower QED than ideal and poor solubility, has a reasonable half-life and a better overall profile. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning, but the negative half-life for B is a showstopper. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability (half-life) and solubility are crucial.

**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (Ligand A: 1.375, Ligand B: 2.003), falling within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand B (0.756) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.466), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (Ligand A: 38.309, Ligand B: 35.595), below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand B (90.772) has a much higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (35.673). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the prediction model or the compounds themselves. However, we can still compare the relative values. Ligand A (-4.967) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.567).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again indicating potential issues with the prediction. Ligand A (-2.484) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.121).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.362, Ligand B: 0.449), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.243) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (18.526). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both have negative half-life values, which is concerning. However, Ligand A (-24.15) is slightly better than Ligand B (-25.399).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.11, Ligand B: 0.116).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better QED score and binding affinity. However, Ligand A has a significantly better TPSA, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability. The difference in binding affinity (1 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to overcome the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A, especially for a kinase inhibitor where sustained target engagement is crucial. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other properties of Ligand A are more favorable for overall drug development.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (Ligand A: 0.745, Ligand B: 0.836), indicating a drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (73.439) compared to Ligand B (29.159). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (71.733) and Ligand B (56.029) are both moderate.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.379) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.144), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a lower microsomal clearance (27.533 mL/min/kg) than Ligand A (19.447 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a significantly longer half-life (88.196 hours) than Ligand B (14.31 hours). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.305) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.071), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-9 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the longer half-life and lower P-gp efflux of Ligand A, the significantly higher DILI risk and weaker binding affinity make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B's superior binding affinity and much lower DILI risk are compelling advantages. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the strong binding affinity of Ligand B suggests it may still be worth pursuing with formulation studies to address these issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (369.843 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (426.242 Da) is still acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (37.61) is significantly better than Ligand B (68.02). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have similar logP values around 4.2, which is slightly above the optimal range (1-3) but not drastically so. This could potentially lead to some solubility issues, but is not a dealbreaker.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 5 HBA). Lower counts are generally preferred for better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (A: 0.714, B: 0.634), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (31.601) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (90.733). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (96.782) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (70.997) is good, but not as high. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less crucial, but still a positive for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.44 and -4.468). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability, but are likely reported as logP values and thus are not directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.217) has better solubility than Ligand B (-5.355). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.848) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.393). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (35.624) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (51.714), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (12.191 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (4.421 hours). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.589) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.345), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.5 kcal/mol and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't significantly sway the decision.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in several key areas: DILI risk, hERG inhibition, solubility, and TPSA. Ligand B has a clear advantage in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life). While metabolic stability is important, the significantly lower DILI and hERG risks associated with Ligand A, coupled with its better solubility and TPSA, make it a more promising candidate. The similar binding affinities mean that the ADME/Tox profile becomes the deciding factor.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol difference threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility (scale unknown), Ligand A excels in the most critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), and safety (DILI, hERG). The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.8 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly lower logP.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.5 and 351.4 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is well below the 140 threshold and excellent for oral absorption. Ligand B (87.74) is still under 140, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.05) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.433) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.812 and 0.727, respectively), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (21.946) has a very low DILI risk, which is highly favorable. Ligand B (25.785) is also low, but slightly higher than A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.111) is higher than Ligand B (60.876).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.069) is poor, while Ligand B (-4.934) is also poor. Both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.344) is poor, while Ligand B (-1.617) is also poor, but better than A.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.344) has a very low hERG risk, excellent. Ligand B (0.122) is also very low, but slightly higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (39.234) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (10.669) has a significantly lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.514 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (8.76 hours), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.348 and 0.015, respectively), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in terms of DILI risk, hERG risk, and binding affinity. However, its Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility are poor. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better solubility, but its logP is concerningly low, and its Caco-2 permeability is also poor. The difference in binding affinity is small enough that it doesn't entirely outweigh the ADME advantages of Ligand B. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the slightly better solubility of B, I would lean towards Ligand B.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 84.18, which is concerning (high risk). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 50.136, which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonably high BBB penetration, but Ligand A (80.574) is better than Ligand B (64.715). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.616) has poor predicted Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.004) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.326) has poor predicted solubility. Ligand B (-1.658) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.792) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but not alarming. Ligand B (0.075) has very low hERG risk, which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.811) has moderate clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (22.187) has significantly lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (103.736 hours) has a very long half-life, which is excellent. Ligand B (3.813 hours) has a very short half-life, which is a major drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.667) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.092) has very low P-gp efflux, which is beneficial.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.6 and -8.7 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The affinity difference is small and likely less important than the ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a longer half-life and slightly better BBB penetration, its high DILI risk, poor solubility, and poor Caco-2 permeability are significant concerns. Ligand B, despite its shorter half-life, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux. The slightly lower solubility and permeability of Ligand B can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies, but mitigating a high DILI risk is far more challenging. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the improved safety and metabolic stability of Ligand B outweigh the benefits of Ligand A's longer half-life.

**DILI:** Ligand A (37.844) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (13.106), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (27.801) has a low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (89.104) has high BBB penetration, which is not relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.857) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.461) is also poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.207) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.987) is even worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.232) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.652), which is a crucial advantage for safety.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-12.279) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (95.933), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-3.019) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (20.276).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.038) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.617), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, and can be outweighed by other factors.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.791 and 0.76), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.147%), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (20.047%), which is excellent.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (70.919%) is slightly better than Ligand B (65.452%).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.852 and -4.668), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and the absolute magnitude isn't necessarily indicative of a complete block.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.407 and -2.154), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a drawback for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.261) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.122), but both are relatively low and acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (16.876) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (54.122), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (35.083) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-9.486), which is a positive.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.824 and 0.784), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have elevated DILI risk (66.615 and 70.26), but are still below the high-risk threshold of >60.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (74.176 and 84.451), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.969 and -4.986), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.352 and -3.519), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.265) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.642), which is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (27.334 mL/min/kg) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (34.741 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (22.939 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (15.876 hours), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.637) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.23), indicating potentially better bioavailability.

**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having poor solubility and permeability, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. Furthermore, it exhibits lower hERG inhibition liability, which is crucial for safety. While Ligand B has slightly better metabolic stability and half-life, the affinity difference and reduced hERG risk of Ligand A are more important considerations for initial lead optimization. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through structural modifications.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.152).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.4 and -7.5 kcal/mol). The difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand A has a problematic negative half-life and a low logP. Ligand B has a better QED score, better logP, better half-life, and a reasonable DILI score. While both have poor solubility, Ligand B's overall profile is superior, particularly its metabolic stability and drug-likeness. The low hERG risk of Ligand A is attractive, but the other drawbacks outweigh this benefit.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.47 and 370.47 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.94) is significantly better than Ligand B (97.64). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this range, but A is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.368) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.646) is on the lower side. A logP between 1-3 is preferred, so A is better.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 7 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.333 and 0.821), with Ligand B being significantly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, moderately high DILI risk (65.61 and 66.42). This is a concern for both, but not a deciding factor.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (60.84 and 64.83). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.233 and -5.093), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.802 and -2.449). This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.846) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.403), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (135.83) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.93). Lower clearance is desirable for metabolic stability, making Ligand B much better.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (31.74) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-10.61). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.84) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.137). Lower efflux is preferred, favoring Ligand B.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both ligands have significant issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B is clearly superior. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower microsomal clearance, longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the slightly higher DILI risk and lower QED. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation strategies, but the potency and pharmacokinetic advantages of Ligand B make it a more promising starting point.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (348.4) is slightly preferred due to being closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand A (85.9) is slightly lower than Ligand B (84.4), a minor advantage.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 1 and 3 (1.331 for A, 1.738 for B), which is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA). Ligand B's lower HBD count could slightly improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.758 for A, 0.714 for B), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 65.9%, while Ligand B has 59.1%. Both are acceptable, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (83.2%) has a higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (67.5%), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, we'll proceed with the assumption these represent low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.101 for A, 0.133 for B), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a negative Cl_mic (-2.476), indicating very high metabolic stability, which is excellent. Ligand B has a significantly higher Cl_mic (56.019), suggesting faster metabolism and a potential issue.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of 19.8 hours, which is good. Ligand B has a negative half-life (-26.245), which is not physically possible and suggests a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 for A, 0.044 for B), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from a high microsomal clearance and an impossible half-life value, raising serious concerns about its metabolic stability. Ligand A has excellent metabolic stability and a good half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker. The solubility issues are concerning for both.
Despite the affinity advantage of Ligand B, the metabolic instability and data error regarding half-life are significant red flags. Ligand A, while having a weaker binding affinity, presents a more favorable overall profile with good metabolic stability and a reasonable half-life.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.352) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.01) has very low P-gp efflux, also good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both ligands have comparable affinity, Ligand B exhibits a problematic negative microsomal clearance and very short half-life. Ligand A has moderate clearance and half-life, and a better overall profile regarding solubility and DILI risk. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerns, but the metabolic instability of Ligand B is a more critical issue for an enzyme target.

However, Ligand A demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. Both have poor solubility. The binding affinity difference is minimal. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are paramount. Although Ligand A has poor solubility, its superior metabolic stability and safety profile outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity and solubility concerns.

10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.247) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.918). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (39.862) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.753), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-14.991) has a very negative in vitro half-life, indicating very rapid metabolism. Ligand B (-2.83) is still negative, but much better than Ligand A.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.067) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.691). This is a positive for Ligand A.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0). This is a *major* advantage for Ligand B. A difference of 8 kcal/mol is substantial and can often outweigh other ADME concerns.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor. While Ligand B has some ADME liabilities (higher DILI, Pgp efflux, and poorer t1/2), the significantly improved potency is likely to be the dominant factor. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better DILI, hERG, Cl_mic and Pgp profiles, the substantially stronger binding affinity of Ligand B makes it the more promising drug candidate. The potency advantage is likely to outweigh the ADME drawbacks, especially given that formulation strategies can be explored to improve solubility and permeability.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.685) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.158), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (154.848) has a high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (16.571) has a much lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.317 hours) has a short half-life. Ligand B (-7.856 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the model.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.257) has low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.024) has very low P-gp efflux, which is even more favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.5 and -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower P-gp efflux, but its extremely high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability are major drawbacks. The poor solubility and permeability are also concerning. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability. While its logP is lower and solubility is also poor, the lower DILI and better metabolic stability are critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data issue that needs to be investigated, but the other properties are more favorable.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.29 and 344.499 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (111.54) is better than Ligand B (49.41) as it is below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption. Ligand B is excellent.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.86) is slightly lower than optimal (1-3), potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (3.132) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBAs, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 2 HBAs, which is excellent.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.419 and 0.855), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is significantly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 85.77, which is high. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 25.785, which is good.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (72.237 and 84.606). This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.214) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.48), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.671) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (72.056), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (15.721) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-4.436), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.131) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.22), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, better metabolic stability, longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI), better logP, and fewer HBAs, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
The difference in binding affinity (-10 vs -6.5 kcal/mol) is a 3.5 kcal/mol advantage for Ligand A, which is substantial enough to potentially outweigh the higher DILI risk and poor solubility/permeability, *provided* formulation strategies can be developed to address the solubility issues. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning, but the potency advantage is significant.

However, Ligand A has significantly better ADME properties: lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a better TPSA. The solubility and permeability issues are shared by both, and are concerning.
Despite the superior affinity of Ligand B, the poor ADME profile, especially the high DILI risk and high clearance, makes it less likely to be a viable drug candidate. The significantly better ADME profile of Ligand A, despite its weaker binding, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization. Further optimization of Ligand A could potentially improve its binding affinity while maintaining its favorable ADME properties.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.183) has a more negative Caco-2 value, suggesting *lower* permeability. Ligand B (-4.465) is better in this regard.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.462) has a slightly better (less negative) solubility score than Ligand B (-1.052), indicating better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.756) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.253). Lower is better, favoring Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.694 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (13.717 mL/min/kg), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (22.438 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-32.37 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.082, B: 0.026), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A. The 1.2 kcal/mol difference is large enough to potentially offset some ADME concerns.

Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and slightly better solubility, but suffers from higher DILI risk, lower Caco-2 permeability, and higher hERG risk. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI and hERG risk, and better Caco-2 permeability, but its logP is very low and its half-life is extremely short.
The difference in binding affinity is substantial. Given that we're targeting an enzyme (kinase), potency is paramount. While Ligand B has better ADME properties in some respects, the extremely short half-life is a major issue. Even with good metabolic stability (low Cl_mic), a negative half-life suggests rapid degradation through other pathways. The low logP is also a significant concern for oral bioavailability.
Therefore, I believe Ligand A, despite its drawbacks, is the more promising candidate due to its significantly stronger binding affinity. Further optimization could address the DILI, permeability, and hERG concerns.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.082 and 0.062).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-14.384) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (36.056), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (25.431) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (7.181), which is desirable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.029).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.4 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important. Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and has a slightly better logP. Ligand A has a better DILI score. However, metabolic stability is often more critical than DILI risk, as it directly impacts drug exposure. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.421 and 348.393 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.12) is slightly higher than Ligand B (50.36), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (2.838 and 3.714). Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially impacting solubility but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.906) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.715), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (62.001) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (51.493), but both are reasonably acceptable, being below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (80.225 and 83.831), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.916 and -4.616), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.11 and -4.432), which is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.314) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.967), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.348 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (69.969 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.609 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-1.784 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error or indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.282) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.566), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The key advantages of Ligand A are its significantly better QED score, lower hERG risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and longer half-life. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both, but the ADME profile of Ligand A is considerably more favorable overall. Ligand B's negative in vitro half-life is a major red flag. The affinity difference, while notable, is unlikely to overcome the substantial ADME liabilities of Ligand B.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a 0.5 kcal/mol difference, which is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), a better QED score, and lower P-gp efflux. However, it suffers from poor solubility, permeability, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand B has better logP, TPSA, and binding affinity, but its metabolic stability is a major concern.
The binding affinity difference (0.5 kcal/mol) is notable, but the significantly better metabolic stability of Ligand A, coupled with its better QED, makes it the more promising candidate, *provided* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications. The DILI risk is also a concern, but potentially mitigable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.454 and 352.494 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (92.5) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (49.41) is excellent, well below 90.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.834 and 3.304), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to some off-target effects, but isn't a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limits of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.825) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.462), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (20.706) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (31.563), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (92.943) is slightly higher, but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.185) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.617), but both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.177) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.181), but both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have relatively low hERG inhibition risk (0.524 and 0.723), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (23.138) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.121), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.496) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-9.18), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.315 and 0.345), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol), although the difference is not huge.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B possesses a superior drug-like profile (higher QED, lower DILI) and better half-life. However, Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The metabolic stability is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors, as they often suffer from rapid metabolism. While the solubility and permeability are poor for both, the improved metabolic stability of Ligand A, coupled with its slightly better affinity, outweighs the advantages of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (342.439 Da) is slightly lower, which can be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (378.519 Da) is still acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (A: 53.76, B: 51.66) well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.871, B: 3.763), falling within the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand B is slightly higher, potentially raising concerns about off-target effects, but not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (0). Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 6 HBA. Both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED scores (A: 0.845, B: 0.813), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.942) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (66.615). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (A: 83.288, B: 85.77), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values (A: -4.424, B: -4.831). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (A: -2.286, B: -3.696), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.366, B: 0.326), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.597) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (64.932), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (40.595) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (4.935). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, indicating potentially less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.336, B: 0.442).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol). While a 0.4 kcal/mol difference is noticeable, it might not be enough to overcome the ADME deficiencies of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both compounds have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a much lower DILI risk. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A compared to Ligand B is likely outweighed by these critical ADME advantages, especially considering the relatively small difference in binding energy. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the starting point with Ligand A is more favorable.

**9. Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.185 and 0.164), which is excellent.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (12.632) has a moderate microsomal clearance. Ligand B (-3.911) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely an artifact of the prediction method, but suggests very high metabolic stability.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (-1.928) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely an artifact of the prediction method. Ligand B (-5.718) also has a negative half-life, also likely an artifact.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.034 and 0.018), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.

While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is superior in several critical ADME properties. Specifically, Ligand B has a significantly better QED score, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a much longer in vitro half-life. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both, but the improved metabolic stability and half-life of Ligand B are more valuable for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly better DILI score for Ligand B is also a plus.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.92 and -4.848). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. However, Caco-2 values can be unreliable and are less important than other factors here.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.47 and -2.587). Similar to Caco-2, these are unusual and suggest poor solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.242) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.639), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.333 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (71.977 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.4 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-1.038 hours). Both are negative, which is unusual and suggests rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.024 and 0.294).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but potentially addressable. Given the importance of minimizing toxicity and maximizing metabolic stability for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, and the substantial difference in DILI and hERG, I would favor Ligand A as the more viable drug candidate *despite* the weaker binding affinity. The affinity difference is large, but optimization of Ligand A could potentially improve its binding while retaining its favorable ADMET properties.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (337.379 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand A (58.81) is slightly higher than Ligand B (49.22), but both are good.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 3 and 4, which is optimal. Ligand A (3.598) and Ligand B (3.865) are both acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (HBD <= 5, HBA <= 10).
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand A (0.728) is slightly higher than Ligand B (0.692).
**DILI:** This is a critical parameter. Ligand A has a DILI risk of 94.959, which is *very high*. Ligand B has a DILI risk of 44.281, which is acceptable (below 60). This is a major strike against Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (83.831) is slightly better than Ligand B (76.619).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.758) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.954), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (17.778 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (65.704 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (4.817 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (19.942 hours). This is a positive for Ligand B, suggesting less frequent dosing may be possible.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.645) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.397), which could lead to better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol for A and -8.1 kcal/mol for B). Ligand A has a 0.6 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity and slightly better BBB penetration, its *extremely high* DILI risk is a deal-breaker. The significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and acceptable DILI risk of Ligand B make it the far more promising candidate. The slightly lower affinity of Ligand B can potentially be optimized in subsequent iterations.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.825 Da and 340.427 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (56.15) is well below the 140 threshold, and even below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (68.44) is also below 140, but higher than A.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (4.31) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (0.676) is quite low, which might hinder membrane permeability.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) and B (2) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) and B (3) are both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.758 and 0.792), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (96.51), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk (18.108), a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (64.831) and B (56.805) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't defined, so we can't interpret these values definitively.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.567 and -2.61). This is a significant drawback.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.598) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.341) is better.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (84.584) has a relatively high microsomal clearance, indicating faster metabolism. Ligand B (-27.634) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. This is a huge red flag.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (58.587) has a reasonable in vitro half-life. Ligand B (-9.994) has a negative half-life, which is impossible.
**14. Pgp:** Ligand A (0.625) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.01) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A's strong binding affinity, its high DILI risk and relatively high metabolic clearance are major concerns. The solubility is also very poor. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG, Pgp) but suffers from extremely poor predicted permeability (Caco-2) and impossible values for clearance and half-life.
Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety for kinase inhibitors, and the fact that the negative values for Ligand B's Cl_mic and t1/2 are almost certainly errors, I would cautiously favor Ligand A *if* the DILI risk could be mitigated through structural modifications. However, the data for Ligand B is so flawed that it's essentially unusable.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (358.452 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (333.439 Da), but both are acceptable.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (42.74) is significantly better than Ligand B (62.73). Lower TPSA generally indicates better cell permeability.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have logP values around 4 (A: 3.968, B: 4.323). This is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but not drastically so.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is better than Ligand B (2). Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is better than Ligand B (5). Fewer HBAs generally improve permeability.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (14.036) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (76.464). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (92.323) has a much higher BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (68.166). While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.727) is better than Ligand B (-5.117). Higher Caco-2 permeability suggests better intestinal absorption.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.637) is better than Ligand B (-4.334). Better solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.829, B: 0.861).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.323) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (88.532). This indicates greater metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for enzymes.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.751) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (62.641). This also supports greater metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.606, B: 0.753).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (A: -8.0, B: -8.5). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is significantly better than Ligand B. While both have acceptable binding affinity and drug-likeness, Ligand A excels in crucial ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better solubility, significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a longer in vitro half-life. The lower TPSA, HBD, and HBA also contribute to its favorable profile. These factors are particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (82.26) is better than Ligand B (93.21). Lower TPSA generally favors oral absorption, and both are reasonably good, but A is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.161) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.318) is on the lower side. A logP between 1-3 is preferred, and A is closer to the ideal range. Lower logP can sometimes hinder permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 2 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.564, B: 0.649), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (65.374) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (42.303). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A. We want a DILI score < 40 if possible.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (74.952) is better than Ligand B (61.613). However, BBB isn't a primary concern for an oncology target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.047 and -5.342). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, for a kinase inhibitor, systemic exposure can be achieved through other means, and permeability isn't as critical as for oral absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.126 and -2.224). This is also concerning, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.347) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.075). Lower hERG is preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.726) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (28.098). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, which is crucial for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.037 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (0.168 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, and a difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux. However, it has a higher DILI risk and slightly higher hERG risk. Ligand B has a better DILI and hERG profile, but significantly weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the priorities for a kinase inhibitor (potency, metabolic stability), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.9 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. The improved metabolic stability further supports this choice. While the higher DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications in subsequent optimization rounds.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the provided guidelines and priorities for enzymes.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.487 and 343.427 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (71.34) is well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption. Ligand B (91.32) is still acceptable but closer to the limit.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (3.819) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.342) is slightly below the optimal range, potentially impacting permeability.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) both meet the HBD <= 5 criteria.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (4) both meet the HBA <= 10 criteria.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable QED values (0.667 and 0.68).
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (29.779) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (34.277), indicating a better safety profile. Both are below the 40 threshold.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (69.446) is higher than Ligand B (36.177), but neither is particularly high.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.718) and Ligand B (-5.104) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't fully defined, so this is difficult to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.882) and Ligand B (-2.044) both have negative values, suggesting poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.725) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.114), but both are relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (78.366) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-7.361). Ligand B exhibits *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely indicates an issue with the data or model. This is a major red flag.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (25.808) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (3.859).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.768) has a slightly higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.038).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (>1.5 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Specific Considerations:** For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, but its negative Cl_mic value is a critical flaw. While a strong affinity can sometimes outweigh ADME issues, a negative clearance is not realistic and suggests a problem with the data or the prediction method. Ligand A has acceptable ADME properties, even if its affinity is lower.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate despite its poor solubility and half-life. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. It also has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While the solubility and half-life are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. Ligand B's high logP and worse solubility are significant drawbacks, even with its better BBB penetration (which isn't crucial here).

**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (93.059%) compared to Ligand B (26.173%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (65.801%) and Ligand B (57.968%) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.657) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.915).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-3.518) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.99).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.574) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.053). Ligand B is much preferred here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (19.166 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (12.329 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.325 hours) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand A (176.728 hours) has a very long half-life, which is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.514, Ligand B: 0.026).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, it's still a positive factor for Ligand B.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Considerations:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While B has a slightly better binding affinity, A significantly outperforms it in metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and has better solubility and QED. The logP of B is a significant concern. The slight affinity advantage of B is unlikely to overcome the substantial ADME deficiencies.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the balance of properties and the priorities for an enzyme inhibitor, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (366.933 and 368.785 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (41.57) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (138.11) is approaching the upper limit, but still acceptable.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.877) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (0.438) is quite low, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBA, also good. Ligand B has 7 HBA, which is higher and could impact permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.81) has a strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.322) is significantly lower, indicating a less desirable overall profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.224) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (68.941) has a higher, but still acceptable, DILI risk.
**BBB:** Ligand A (73.943) shows reasonable BBB penetration. Ligand B (48.081) has poor BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.494) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is concerning. Ligand B (-5.569) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.251) has poor aqueous solubility, likely due to its high logP. Ligand B (-1.677) has better, but still poor, solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.807) has a moderate hERG risk. Ligand B (0.031) has very low hERG risk, which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (74.378) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-1.083) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data, but suggests very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (47.927) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (8.949) has a short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.217) has low P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.015) has very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its poor solubility, poor Caco-2 permeability, and moderate hERG risk are major drawbacks. Ligand B, while having weaker affinity, possesses a much better safety profile (very low hERG, low P-gp efflux) and, despite its low logP, has a better solubility profile. The negative microsomal clearance for Ligand B is a data anomaly, but suggests it is highly metabolically stable. The substantial affinity difference is important, but can potentially be addressed through further optimization. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, I would choose Ligand B as the more viable starting point for drug development due to its superior ADME-Tox properties and potential for optimization.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 65.72, which is considered high risk. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 39.39, which is good. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (79.68 and 67.55), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values can be unreliable and are less critical than other parameters.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.83 and 0.80), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 65.07 mL/min/kg, which is relatively high, suggesting faster metabolism. Ligand B has a Cl_mic of 97.88 mL/min/kg, which is even higher. Both are concerning.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-1.92 hours), which is not possible. Ligand B has a half-life of 38.92 hours, which is very good. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.37 and 0.92).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk and a much longer in vitro half-life. The slightly better binding affinity further supports its selection. The higher microsomal clearance is a concern, but the longer half-life suggests it's being metabolized to inactive compounds. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major drawback.

The difference in binding affinity (0.7 kcal/mol) is substantial and can often outweigh minor ADME drawbacks, especially for an enzyme target where potency is paramount. The significantly better metabolic stability of Ligand B is appealing, but the very short half-life is a major concern. Given the balance, the superior binding affinity and more reasonable half-life of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (337.423 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (352.391 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.44) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (116.92) is higher, but still acceptable, though potentially impacting absorption slightly.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.049) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3) and could potentially cause solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (-0.872) is below the optimal range and may have permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=2) is excellent. Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=7) is acceptable, but the higher HBA count could slightly hinder permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.827, B: 0.613), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand A is better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (84.025) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (60.566), which is a concern.
**BBB:** Ligand A (71.462) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (12.408), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.624) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.166) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.23) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-1.632) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.724) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.168), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.008) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.055), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (35.151) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-3.182), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.23) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.016), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -9.1 kcal/mol, B: -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity, QED, BBB, P-gp efflux, and in vitro half-life. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability), poor Caco-2 permeability and poor solubility. Ligand B has better solubility, lower DILI, and better metabolic stability, but lower binding affinity and worse BBB, P-gp efflux and half-life.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and solubility are crucial. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, the significantly better metabolic stability and solubility of Ligand B, coupled with a lower DILI risk, make it the more promising candidate. The affinity difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh the ADME advantages of Ligand B.

Given the priority for potency in enzyme inhibitors, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.0 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. While Ligand A's ADME properties are not ideal, the strong binding could be optimized through further medicinal chemistry efforts. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.4 and 361.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.58) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold. Ligand B (38.77) is also very good.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.318) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (3.594) is slightly higher but still acceptable.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.898) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.597) is acceptable, but lower.
**DILI:** Ligand A (44.591) has a moderate DILI risk. Ligand B (14.385) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (98.216) is higher than Ligand A (69.95), but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.104) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-3.888) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.584) has poor solubility. Ligand B (-4.103) has even poorer solubility. This is a concern for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.222) has a very low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.848) has a slightly higher hERG risk, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.953) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. Ligand B (94.362) has very high clearance, a major drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.643) has a longer half-life. Ligand B (4.075) has a very short half-life.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.3 and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and significantly lower DILI risk. However, it suffers from very high microsomal clearance and a short half-life, and poor solubility. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower DILI, but has poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the acceptable DILI risk for Ligand A, I would choose Ligand A. The solubility and permeability issues might be addressable through formulation.

**DILI:** Ligand A (18.651) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (37.069). This is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand B (81.504) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (57.968). However, as SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.736 and -4.631), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.533 and -2.015), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.13) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.432). This is a significant safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (34.298) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (48.237), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (22.706) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (14.743), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.05), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This 0.7 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have significant ADME liabilities (poor solubility and permeability), Ligand B's superior binding affinity (-7.6 kcal/mol vs -6.9 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) are compelling. The lower DILI and hERG risk of Ligand A are attractive, but the potency difference is more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising candidate, despite its slightly higher DILI risk, as the potency advantage is likely to be more impactful in achieving efficacy. Further optimization would focus on improving solubility and permeability.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.838) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.602), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.444) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (44.591), which is a concern. However, it's not drastically high.
**BBB:** Both ligands show good BBB penetration (80.225 and 80.574), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.546 and -4.864). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very poor permeability. This is a significant flag.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.288 and -4.235). Similar to Caco-2, this is concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.786) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.561), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.799) has a significantly lower Cl_mic than Ligand B (50.2), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.066) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-31.667). The negative value for Ligand B is highly problematic and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.279 and 0.146).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's a positive for Ligand B.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's higher logP and slightly higher DILI risk, its significantly superior binding affinity (-10.3 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are decisive. The potency advantage is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility and permeability concerns, which can be addressed through formulation strategies. Ligand A's better hERG profile is a plus, but the weaker binding makes it less likely to be effective *in vivo*.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (62.74) is higher than Ligand B (49.41). Both are acceptable, but Ligand B is better, potentially indicating improved cell permeability.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.51 and 3.3), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could be a minor concern for off-target effects but isn't critical.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 0 HBDs, while Ligand B has 1. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBAs, and Ligand B has 2. Both are well below the limit of <=10.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (43.777) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (5.584). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (61.497) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (85.731). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less important, but still favors Ligand B.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.367) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.719). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability, but Ligand B is slightly better.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.929) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.826). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.181) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.487). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (40.415) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (57.76). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, favoring Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.143) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-0.457). Negative half-life is not possible, so this is a data error for Ligand B. This is a major disadvantage for Ligand B.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.084) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.027). Lower efflux is better, favoring Ligand A.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.1 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), hERG risk, and P-gp efflux. Ligand B has advantages in DILI risk, BBB penetration, and solubility. The half-life for Ligand B is likely a data error. Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A appears to be the more promising candidate due to its better metabolic stability and lower hERG risk. The solubility difference is less critical, and the slightly higher DILI risk of Ligand A is acceptable given its other favorable properties.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.557) is better than Ligand B (-4.194), both are poor, but A is slightly less poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.133) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.812). This is a critical advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (68.328) has higher clearance than Ligand B (52.868), meaning B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (57.191) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-15.859). This is a significant advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands (0.123 and 0.151) have similar low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, hERG inhibition, solubility and QED. Ligand B has a significant advantage in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given the importance of avoiding toxicity (low hERG, low DILI) and the excellent binding affinity being equal, Ligand A is the slightly better candidate. The metabolic stability of Ligand B is a concern that could be addressed through structural modifications, but the safety profile of Ligand A is more favorable as a starting point.

**BBB:** Ligand A (97.712) has significantly better BBB penetration than Ligand B (79.411). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.873) has slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.309), suggesting better absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.371) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.32). This is a positive for Ligand A, as solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.945 and 0.776), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (97.637) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (33.049). This means Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a crucial factor for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have negative in vitro half-life values (-17.005 and -17.644), which is unusual and potentially problematic. However, the values are similar.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.698 and 0.555), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme targets (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the better candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.6 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. While Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, the difference isn't large enough to offset the substantial affinity difference. Ligand A also has better solubility and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (363.845 and 348.447 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (77.25 and 72.96) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.236) is at the higher end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.33) is below 1, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and a reasonable number of HBAs (5 and 4 respectively), satisfying the criteria.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.859 and 0.706), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (70.066) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.789). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (82.745) has a slightly better BBB score than Ligand B (64.637).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale isn't specified.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.207 and 0.147), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (70.377) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.352), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-26.762) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (11.414) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.082 and 0.012).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small (0.7 kcal/mol).
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its significantly higher DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance make it less desirable. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a showstopper. However, given the choice between the two, and acknowledging the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, Ligand B is *marginally* better due to the lower DILI risk. The negative half-life is a data error that would need to be investigated.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (357.5 and 349.3 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (82.1 and 88.1) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.02 and 1.32) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD, and Ligand B has 1. Both are acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBA, which is acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.63 and 0.81), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (23.8%) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (74.8%). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (70.6%) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (30.6%), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not defined.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.265 and 0.282), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.2 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.6 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.48 hours) has a slightly worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-2.88 hours), but both are negative, which is unusual.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.021 and 0.033).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). While a 0.2 kcal/mol difference is not huge, it's a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A has significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). These factors are crucial for enzyme inhibitors. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the superior safety and metabolic profile of Ligand A outweigh the small binding affinity difference.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.419 and 353.507 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (105.48) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (61.88) is excellent, well below 90.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.366 and 1.641) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.744 and 0.684), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.734) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (7.949) has a very low DILI risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (76.541) is slightly better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.633 and -4.557), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.411 and -1.452), which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.068) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.55) has a slightly elevated, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.583) and Ligand B (54.365) have reasonable microsomal clearance values. Lower is better, so Ligand A is slightly favored here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.127) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data or the molecule's stability. Ligand B (0.512) has a very short half-life, which is a concern.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.037).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its significantly stronger binding affinity. However, its negative in vitro half-life is a major red flag, suggesting instability. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and a better TPSA, but its affinity is weaker and its half-life is short. The solubility and permeability are poor for both.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency is paramount. The 1 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity for Ligand A is substantial. While the negative half-life is concerning, it might be addressable through structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability are also addressable. The DILI risk of Ligand A is moderate, but manageable.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B has superior binding affinity. While both have similar metabolic stability, Ligand A has a better DILI score and hERG inhibition profile. However, the negative solubility and half-life values for Ligand A are highly suspect and raise concerns. The superior affinity of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful than the slightly higher DILI risk, especially given the other acceptable parameters.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-16.782) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-9.486), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.164 and 0.025).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.4 and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so this doesn't significantly favor one over the other.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and acceptable solubility outweigh the slightly less optimal TPSA and logP values. Ligand A's higher DILI and lower metabolic stability are major concerns.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.529, B: 0.102), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly lower DILI risk, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.8 vs -8.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The difference in affinity is large enough to compensate for the slightly higher clearance and lower half-life. Solubility is a concern for both, but formulation strategies can be employed.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.547 and 0.803), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (95.502 percentile), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk (23.575 percentile), a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (59.519 and 61.535 percentile), which isn't crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A shows poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.882), suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B also shows poor Caco-2 permeability (-5.04), but slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A has poor aqueous solubility (-4.808). Ligand B has very poor aqueous solubility (-1.701).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a moderate hERG risk (0.648). Ligand B has a very low hERG risk (0.374), a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has moderate microsomal clearance (46.906 mL/min/kg). Ligand B has low microsomal clearance (18.444 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a reasonable half-life (55.493 hours). Ligand B has a very short half-life (-9.628 hours), a major drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.534 and 0.028).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is a critical factor for enzyme inhibitors. However, its high DILI risk, poor Caco-2 permeability, and poor aqueous solubility are major liabilities. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, lower hERG, better metabolic stability), but its significantly weaker binding affinity is a substantial disadvantage.
Despite the strong affinity of Ligand A, the high DILI risk is a dealbreaker. While affinity can sometimes outweigh ADME concerns, a DILI risk of 95.502 is too high to proceed without significant medicinal chemistry efforts to mitigate it. The short half-life of Ligand B is also a concern, but potentially addressable.
Therefore, I would initially favor Ligand B, as the ADME properties are more amendable to optimization than a high DILI risk.

The stronger binding is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor, and the improved metabolic stability increases the likelihood of achieving therapeutic concentrations *in vivo*. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern compared to these benefits.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-34.013 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand B (-11.93 hours) also has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error in the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.063 and 0.016), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, its extremely high DILI risk, poor solubility, and moderate hERG risk are major drawbacks. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits a much more favorable safety profile (low DILI and hERG) and better metabolic stability. The difference in binding affinity (1.2 kcal/mol) is substantial, but the safety concerns with Ligand A are too significant to ignore. Given the enzyme-kinase target class, prioritizing metabolic stability, solubility, and minimizing toxicity is crucial.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are acceptable, staying within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.662 and 0.832), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.77) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.695), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (55.099) is slightly better than Ligand A (46.219).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor solubility. This is a major concern for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.139) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.355), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.674) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (49.639), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-26.129) has a significantly *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand B (44.461), which is a substantial benefit.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, a slightly better QED, and slightly better BBB penetration. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower hERG risk. Both compounds suffer from poor solubility and permeability. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage. The better metabolic stability of Ligand A is valuable, but can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The solubility and permeability issues are significant for both, and would require substantial optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, considering the provided guidelines and priorities for enzymes.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (384.267 Da and 367.515 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (110.0) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (71.53) is well within the acceptable range.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (1.949 and 2.658).
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD, also acceptable.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.492 and 0.728), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (64.599) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (52.346). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferred.
**8. BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.438 and 0.42).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.368) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (63.931), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (19.734) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (5.878), which is desirable.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.064 and 0.214).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a better DILI score and in vitro half-life, the substantially stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.7 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) of Ligand A is also a significant benefit. The slightly higher TPSA of Ligand A is a minor concern, but the strong binding affinity likely compensates for this. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning, but the difference in binding affinity is so large that it outweighs these concerns.

These factors are particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, where maintaining adequate systemic exposure is crucial for efficacy. The slightly higher hERG risk for Ligand A is a minor concern compared to the substantial benefits in other areas.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (65.452) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (39.667). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (65.064) and Ligand B (33.385) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.006) is slightly better than Ligand A (-4.869), but both are concerning.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B (-3.252) is slightly better than Ligand A (-3.389).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.143 and 0.276), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (88.536) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (22.211). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-19.624) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-1.878). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.231) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.546), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, lower P-gp efflux). Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and a slightly better QED and BBB. The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, coupled with its better metabolic stability, makes it the more promising candidate despite the slightly higher DILI risk and shorter half-life. The binding affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome the other drawbacks through further optimization.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.88) has better solubility than Ligand B (-5.21).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.57 and 0.48).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (36.7) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (56.2), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (22.0) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-24.8), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.30 and 0.38).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a higher logP and a significantly higher DILI risk, its substantially stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) are compelling advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The improved affinity is likely to be more impactful than the slightly elevated logP, and the DILI risk, while concerning, could be addressed through structural modifications in subsequent optimization rounds. The solubility of Ligand A is better, but the affinity difference is significant.

**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (77.433 and 76.425), indicating a moderate risk. This isn't a major differentiator.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonably high BBB penetration (58.511 and 70.415). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.95 and -4.999), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is concerning for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.746 and -2.712), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.512) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.042). Ligand B is much better in this regard.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.64) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.226), suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is preferable here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.609) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.501), indicating better stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.238 and 0.045).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its much stronger binding affinity. However, it suffers from higher logP (potential solubility issues) and higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability) compared to Ligand B. Both ligands have poor solubility and permeability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower hERG) and better metabolic stability.
Despite the solubility/permeability concerns for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The potency advantage is likely to outweigh the ADME drawbacks, *provided* formulation strategies can be developed to address the solubility issue.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.37 & 350.42 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (99.69 & 92.59) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good absorption, but not particularly optimized for CNS penetration (not a priority here).
**3. logP:** Ligand A (0.796) is within the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (-0.341) is slightly below, potentially hindering permeation.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (2 and 1 respectively), well below the limit of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (6 and 7 respectively), below the limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.838 and 0.689), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (53.01%) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (28.31%), which is preferable.
**8. BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (65.45%) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (26.72%), but this is less important.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.904) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.783).
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B (-0.871) is slightly better than Ligand A (-2.316).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.233 and 0.075), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar, very low, microsomal clearance (-17.033 and -17.549 mL/min/kg), indicating good metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (19.304 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-14.33 hours), which is a major advantage.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.01 and 0.003).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This 1.7 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has better solubility and a significantly longer half-life, Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity. The slightly higher DILI risk for Ligand A is a concern, but the difference isn't drastic. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning, but the strong binding affinity of Ligand A makes it more likely to be optimized to overcome these issues. The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the potency advantage of Ligand A is more critical for an enzyme target like SRC.

2025-04-17 14:41:08,587 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [385.819, 55.4, 4.854, 1, 4, 0.748, 84.064, 77.472, -4.538, -6.128, 0.37, 85.406, 20.323, 0.18, -10.1]
**Ligand B:** [343.471, 75.43, 3.126, 2, 3, 0.59, 45.095, 80.962, -5.109, -3.624, 0.713, 55.183, 2.271, 0.188, -7.1]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand B (343.471) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (55.4) is better than Ligand B (75.43). Lower TPSA generally means better absorption.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (4.854) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (3.126) is within the optimal range.
4. **HBD:** Both are acceptable (Ligand A: 1, Ligand B: 2), well below the threshold of 5.
5. **HBA:** Both are acceptable (Ligand A: 4, Ligand B: 3), well below the threshold of 10.
6. **QED:** Ligand A (0.748) is better than Ligand B (0.59), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (84.064) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (45.095). This is a major concern.
8. **BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (Ligand A: 77.472, Ligand B: 80.962). Not a primary concern for SRC kinase, but a bonus.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.538) is worse than Ligand B (-5.109), indicating lower intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-6.128) is worse than Ligand B (-3.624), which is a concern given its higher logP.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.37) is better than Ligand B (0.713), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (85.406) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (55.183), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (20.323) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (2.271), which is desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Both are similar (Ligand A: 0.18, Ligand B: 0.188), indicating similar P-gp efflux liability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has superior affinity and half-life, but suffers from poor solubility, high DILI risk, and high clearance. Ligand B has better solubility, lower DILI, and better clearance, but weaker affinity.
**Decision:**
The difference in binding affinity (-10.1 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is very large. While Ligand A has concerning ADME properties (high DILI, poor solubility, high clearance), the substantial improvement in potency is likely to outweigh these drawbacks *initially*. Optimization efforts could then focus on improving the ADME profile of Ligand A.
Therefore, I would select **Ligand A** as the more promising starting point for drug development.

**DILI:** Ligand A (34.703) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (19.969), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (66.615) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (90.849). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.916) and Ligand B (-4.409) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.916) and Ligand B (-4.596) both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.369) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.809), which is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.471) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (54.911), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.478) has a negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (24.166) has a positive half-life, which is much better.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.18) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.567), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.3 kcal/mol), which are both excellent. The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior despite the negative half-life. It has a better QED score, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While both have poor solubility and permeability, the improved safety profile and metabolic stability of Ligand A outweigh the slightly better half-life of Ligand B. The negative half-life of Ligand A is a concern that would need to be addressed in further optimization, but it's not a deal-breaker at this stage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.459 and 357.479 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.44) is better than Ligand B (62.3), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the ideal for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.297 and 2.8) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is preferable to Ligand B (1), as fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, which is acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.842 and 0.829), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.65) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.052). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (76.696 and 73.943), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.789 and -4.994), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.016 and -2.759), which is also a concern.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.236) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.57). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (59.996) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (74.522), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.326) has a slightly better (less negative) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (39.648).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.261) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.392), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.3 and -8.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is not huge.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. It has a lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and slightly better half-life, while maintaining comparable binding affinity and drug-likeness properties. Although both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the ADME/Tox profile of Ligand A is superior.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.375 and 376.563 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (109) is higher than the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (75.71) is excellent, well below 90.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.461) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.253) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBA, also good.
**QED:** Both have reasonable QED scores (0.84 and 0.705), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.929) has a moderate DILI risk. Ligand B (23.769) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (80.613) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (62.466).
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.018) has a very low hERG risk, a major plus. Ligand B (0.619) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.514) has a low Cl_mic, indicating good metabolic stability. Ligand B (72.117) has a very high Cl_mic, suggesting rapid metabolism and a potential issue.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.175) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-32.559) has a very short half-life, a significant drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.031), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and good metabolic stability, but suffers from low logP and potentially poor solubility/permeability (due to negative Caco-2 and solubility values). Ligand B has better physicochemical properties (logP, TPSA, DILI) but a significantly weaker binding affinity and poor metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is the most important factor. While its ADME properties are not ideal, optimization could potentially address these issues. The large difference in binding affinity (-9.8 vs -6.6 kcal/mol) is a substantial advantage that likely outweighs the ADME concerns, especially considering the possibility of chemical modifications to improve those properties.

The lower Caco-2 permeability and slightly lower logP of Ligand A are less concerning given the strong binding and metabolic stability. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B is a plus, but the poor metabolic stability is a major drawback for an enzyme inhibitor. The substantial affinity advantage of Ligand A outweighs its other shortcomings.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (334.47 & 344.42 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (35.16) is significantly better than Ligand B (104.7), being well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B's higher TPSA could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.659) is within the optimal 1-3 range, while Ligand B (1.162) is at the lower end, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) as it has fewer hydrogen bond forming groups, which generally improves permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.773 and 0.701), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (23.81) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (51.14). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (84.37) is better than Ligand B (36.72).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.223) is better than Ligand B (-5.607), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.314) is better than Ligand B (-1.917), which is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.988 and 0.454), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.25 mL/min/kg) is higher than Ligand B (-7.93 mL/min/kg), indicating *lower* metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-17.66 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-10.75 hours), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.344 and 0.036).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.4 kcal/mol), which are both excellent. The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better TPSA, logP, solubility, and DILI risk, Ligand B exhibits superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial. The slightly better affinity of Ligand A is not enough to overcome the significantly better metabolic profile of Ligand B. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**BBB:** Ligand A has a BBB penetration of 65.7%, while Ligand B has 83.1%. BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired, but higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.114) has poorer Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.451). Lower negative values indicate better permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have similar negative solubility values (-1.904 and -1.827), suggesting poor solubility. This is a potential issue for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.188) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.445), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.797 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (64.97 mL/min/kg). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.388 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (13.649 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, as a longer half-life can lead to less frequent dosing.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.1 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and P-gp efflux. However, Ligand B has better Caco-2 permeability, a longer half-life, and a lower DILI risk. The difference in binding affinity is significant. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is the most important factor. While its solubility and half-life are less ideal, these can be addressed during lead optimization.

For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.9 vs -8.7 kcal/mol), which is a major advantage. However, Ligand B shows better ADME properties regarding DILI, hERG, and in vitro half-life. While both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the superior binding affinity of Ligand A is likely to outweigh these drawbacks, especially in early-stage optimization where potency is paramount. The higher clearance of Ligand A is a concern, but can be addressed through structural modifications.

The better binding affinity is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly better BBB score for Ligand B is irrelevant given the target. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but Ligand A's other properties make it a more promising starting point.

**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is excellent. Ligand B (2) is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is good. Ligand B (8) is approaching the upper limit but still acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.752 and 0.7), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (28.5) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (82.4), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (65.8) is lower than Ligand B (50.7).
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.975) and Ligand B (-5.36) are both negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.919) is better than Ligand B (-1.94), both are poor.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.61) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.174), which is a potential safety concern.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (1.072) has significantly lower clearance than Ligand B (16.862), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.314) has a better half-life than Ligand B (23.75).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.057) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.009).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8), a 0.6 kcal/mol difference.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, but Ligand A is superior in almost all other critical ADME-Tox properties. Specifically, Ligand A has a much lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and better solubility. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A can potentially be optimized through further medicinal chemistry efforts, while the poor ADME profile of Ligand B would be more challenging to address. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is significantly better in terms of metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), DILI risk, and Pgp efflux. The solubility is still a concern for both, but Ligand B is better. The higher logP of Ligand A is also a concern.

**logP:** Ligand A (3.06) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (-0.337) is significantly below 1, potentially hindering permeation. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 6. Both are acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both have similar QED values (0.883 and 0.808), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (46.995) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (39.977), but both are below the 40 threshold, indicating low risk.
**BBB:** Ligand A (77.821) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (67.623). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.771) is worse than Ligand B (-5.08), indicating lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.571) is better than Ligand B (-2.451), both are negative indicating poor solubility.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (387.439 and 368.811 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (129.72) is better than Ligand B (45.48) as it is closer to the threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.727) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation, while Ligand B (4.978) is high, potentially causing solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 6 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 2 HBA) both fall within acceptable ranges.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.703 and 0.812, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.547) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (49.399), which is preferable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (94.61) is higher, but this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.502) is very poor, while Ligand B (-4.529) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.775) is very poor, while Ligand B (-5.44) is also poor. Both are problematic.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.045) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.76) has a moderate risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-17.764) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.144), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar in vitro half-lives (68.248 and 72.045 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.016) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.204) has slightly higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.1 and -8.4 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly stronger. However, the difference is small and may not outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable despite its lower logP and solubility due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), very low hERG risk, and very low P-gp efflux. The slightly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to compensate for its higher DILI risk, higher logP, and worse metabolic stability. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (344.382 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (351.403 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (44.76) is significantly better than Ligand B (93.9). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand A is much more likely to have good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.783) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.619) is quite low. Low logP can hinder membrane permeability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.54, B: 0.836), indicating generally drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (A: 61.031, B: 58.976), though ligand B is slightly better.
**BBB:** Ligand A (83.288) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (57.968), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.471 and -4.652). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not clearly defined.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-5.186 and -1.919). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.849) is better than Ligand B (0.196). Lower hERG inhibition is crucial to avoid cardiotoxicity. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (105.188) has higher clearance than Ligand B (11.186). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (23.378 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-5.549 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.656) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.045), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's better metabolic stability and half-life, and significantly better binding affinity, the poor solubility and permeability (indicated by negative Caco-2 and solubility values) are concerning. Ligand A has much better predicted permeability (lower TPSA, better logP) and lower hERG risk. While its binding affinity is weaker, the better ADME profile, particularly the solubility and permeability, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization. The affinity difference, while significant, is not insurmountable with medicinal chemistry efforts.

Ligand B has a lower binding affinity, but exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life).
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability and safety are critical. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.9 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) is meaningful, but the poor metabolic stability and higher DILI risk of Ligand A are major concerns. While a difference of 1.3 kcal/mol is good, it is unlikely to overcome the ADME liabilities of Ligand A. Ligand B, despite its weaker binding, presents a more balanced profile with a significantly better chance of becoming a viable drug candidate.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-15.545) has much lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) than Ligand B (59.54). This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.532) has a slightly negative half-life, which is unusual and suggests rapid metabolism or instability. Ligand B (19.18) has a good in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.002) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.237) has slightly higher P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk, and lower hERG risk. While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, the strong binding affinity and improved safety profile are more critical for an enzyme inhibitor like an SRC kinase inhibitor. Ligand B has better solubility and permeability but is offset by higher DILI, higher hERG, and weaker binding.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.4 and 355.4 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (93.73) is slightly higher than the ideal <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (66.07) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal 1-3 range (1.619 and 2.934 respectively).

**QED:** Ligand B (0.883) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand A (0.577), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (62.35) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (85.227) has a high DILI risk. This is a significant concern for Ligand B.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (78.79) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (48.391), but this is not a major factor in this decision.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the absolute value for Ligand A (-4.937) is slightly less negative than Ligand B (-4.913).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-4.65) is slightly worse than Ligand A (-2.682).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.193) has a very low hERG risk, which is highly desirable. Ligand B (0.898) has a higher hERG risk, raising a safety concern.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-5.24) has a negative clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (33.723) has a significantly higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.735) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (28.358).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 and 0.09 respectively).

**QED:** Ligand A (0.871) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.381) is significantly lower, indicating a less desirable overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (79.953) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (68.941), but both are below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (30.206) and Ligand B (18.961) both have low BBB penetration.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.669) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is concerning. Ligand B (-5.765) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.9) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-2.128) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.175 and 0.107 respectively).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.915) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-12.191) has a *negative* clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (11.326 hours) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (21.836 hours) has a longer, and therefore more desirable, half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.061 and 0.011 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.2 and -8.0 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. However, the 0.2 kcal/mol difference is unlikely to outweigh other significant ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic, longer half-life), a better QED score, and slightly better solubility. The low logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the exceptional metabolic stability and improved QED outweigh this drawback. The poor Caco-2 permeability of both is a concern that would need to be addressed in further optimization, but is less critical than metabolic stability at this stage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (354.495 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (400.228 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.33) is better than Ligand B (55.32) as it is closer to the 140 threshold.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.159) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.74) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.718) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.493), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (6.398) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.77). This is a crucial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (34.238) has a low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (92.71) has high BBB penetration, which is irrelevant here and doesn't add value.
**Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.997 and -4.412), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and the absolute magnitude is important. They are relatively similar.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (0.087) has very poor solubility, while Ligand B (-4.119) is also poor, but slightly better. This is a concern for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.161) has a very low hERG risk, significantly better than Ligand B (0.517). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (12.994) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.071), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.978) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests an issue with the data. Ligand B (-21.769) also has a negative half-life. This is a major red flag for both.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.007 and 0.204).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-9.1 kcal/mol and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't significantly sway the decision.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has significant advantages in DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and metabolic stability (Cl_mic). While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, these are somewhat offset by its better QED score. Ligand B has a better logP, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and poorer metabolic stability. The negative half-life values for both are concerning and suggest data quality issues, but we must proceed based on the available information. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI and hERG risks of Ligand A, combined with its better metabolic stability, make it the more promising candidate despite its solubility issues.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate due to its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative half-life for Ligand B is concerning and needs investigation, but the binding affinity difference is significant enough to prioritize it *if* the half-life issue can be resolved. The slightly lower hERG risk for Ligand B is also a minor benefit. The TPSA is less favorable for Ligand B, but the potency difference is more important for an enzyme target.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.1 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher TPSA and DILI risk. Furthermore, the improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) is critical for an enzyme target. While Ligand A has a lower DILI risk, the substantial improvement in binding affinity and metabolic stability with Ligand B makes it the better choice.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (386.206 and 369.571 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.63) is higher than Ligand B (57.61). While both are acceptable, Ligand B's lower TPSA is slightly more favorable for permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (4.465 and 3.657) that are above the optimal range of 1-3, but Ligand B is closer to the upper limit and therefore preferable. High logP can lead to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.744 and 0.674), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (97.325%) compared to Ligand B (26.755%). This is a major red flag for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration percentile (76.309%) than Ligand A (34.936%), but BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS involvement is specifically targeted.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.662) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.879), but both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-4.088) is slightly better than Ligand A (-4.806).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.143) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.415), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a much higher microsomal clearance (97.073) than Ligand A (7.434). This suggests that Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a negative half-life (-18.821), which is problematic and suggests rapid degradation. Ligand A has a half-life of 6.276 hours, which is better, though not ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.774) has higher P-gp efflux than Ligand A (0.102), meaning it's more likely to be pumped out of cells, reducing bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the better affinity of Ligand A, its extremely high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability are major concerns. Ligand B, while having a weaker affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (lower DILI) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds are drawbacks, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is tempting, but the high DILI risk is a deal-breaker.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and strong binding affinities (-7.0 and -7.2 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better QED, TPSA, and a much lower DILI risk. However, it has higher microsomal clearance and lower in vitro half-life. Ligand B has a longer half-life, but suffers from a higher DILI risk and lower QED, and a less optimal logP. The solubility is a major concern for both. Given the priority for metabolic stability and solubility (even though both are poor), the longer half-life of Ligand B is a significant advantage. The slightly better DILI profile of Ligand A is attractive, but the half-life difference is more impactful for an enzyme target. The similar binding affinities mean that ADME properties become the deciding factor.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.157 and -1.889). Similar to Caco-2, these values are on a log scale and indicate low solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.235 and 0.155). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (26.256 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (42.922 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.905 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand A (2.132 hours) has a reasonable half-life, but could be improved.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.054 and 0.064).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and outweighs most minor ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have some issues with predicted solubility and permeability, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are crucial advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The DILI risk is slightly lower for Ligand B as well. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data error, but even if it were a very short half-life, the binding affinity would likely still make it preferable.

**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility, Ligand A is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs its slightly higher DILI and Pgp efflux. The negative Cl_mic value for Ligand B is a fatal flaw, indicating a problem with the prediction or the molecule itself. While Ligand A's solubility and permeability need improvement, its potency and reasonable ADME properties make it the more viable starting point for optimization.

2025-04-17 14:45:41,866 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both A (361.431 Da) and B (369.531 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range. No clear advantage here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (119.03) is slightly higher than Ligand B (90.27). Ligand B is better, being comfortably under the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and closer to the 90 threshold for CNS penetration (though that's not a primary concern for a general oncology target).
3. **logP:** Ligand A (0.233) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.417) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for B.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (2) is slightly higher than Ligand B (1). Both are acceptable, under the 5 threshold.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (8) is higher than Ligand B (4). Ligand B is preferable, being well under the 10 threshold.
6. **QED:** Ligand A (0.787) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.599), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (62.001) has a considerably higher DILI risk than Ligand B (23.226). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (A: 70.88, B: 78.79), but this isn't a primary concern for an oncology target unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.389) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.978) is also poor, but slightly better.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.216) and B (-2.86) both have poor aqueous solubility.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.294) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.771). Lower is better here, so B is preferable.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (-5.209) has a negative clearance, indicating very good metabolic stability. Ligand B (34.707) has a high clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism. This is a significant advantage for A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (6.263) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-46.446). Negative half-life is not possible, so there is likely an error in the data for Ligand B. Assuming this is an error, we can disregard this parameter.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.043) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.214) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED score and significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic). However, it suffers from very poor Caco-2 permeability, a low logP, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand B has a better logP, TPSA, lower DILI risk, and a slightly better hERG profile. While its metabolic stability is a concern, the other properties are more favorable. The similar binding affinities mean that ADME properties become the deciding factor. The poor permeability and DILI risk of Ligand A are significant drawbacks.

Ligand A is the stronger candidate. While Ligand B has a longer half-life, Ligand A excels in key areas: significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, and superior binding affinity. The slightly better TPSA and logP values of Ligand A also contribute to its favorability. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh this concern.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.41 and 367.515 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (104.37) is higher than Ligand B (78.51). While both are reasonably good, Ligand B is better positioned for oral absorption given the <140 target.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.436) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.294) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2-4 HBD/HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.576 and 0.788), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both have acceptable DILI risk (30.865 and 37.999 percentile), below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.731) is better than Ligand B (41.838), but this isn't a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.123 and 0.112), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-14.115) has *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.041). This suggests significantly improved metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.502) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (20.047). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.007 and 0.036).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a 2.0 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better logP and significantly stronger binding affinity. However, Ligand A has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer half-life. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial 2.0 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate *despite* its higher clearance. Further optimization could address the solubility and permeability issues.

Ligand B has better TPSA, solubility, and a much lower DILI risk, but significantly weaker binding affinity and a shorter half-life.
The difference in binding affinity (-8.8 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is substantial (over 1.9 kcal/mol). Given that potency is a primary concern for kinase inhibitors, and the other differences are not overwhelmingly in favor of either compound, the stronger binding of Ligand A is the deciding factor. The DILI risk is a concern, but could be investigated further with structural modifications.

**BBB:** Ligand A (43.893) has a moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (21.714) is quite low. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.496 and -5.53), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values might represent very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.924 and -2.227), which is also unusual. This suggests very poor aqueous solubility, a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.217, B: 0.132), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (64.776) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-4.033) has a *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely indicates a very stable compound. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (19.781) has a moderate half-life, while Ligand B (-26.525) has a negative half-life, which is also not physically possible and likely indicates a very long half-life. This further supports the high metabolic stability of Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.077, B: 0.046).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as potency is a primary concern for enzyme inhibitors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (negative clearance and half-life) and potentially better solubility (though both are poor). The negative values for clearance and half-life for Ligand B are concerning and likely represent limitations in the modeling or data. The low logP of Ligand B is also a drawback. Despite these issues, the substantial improvement in metabolic stability and the acceptable hERG risk make Ligand B a more promising starting point for optimization, *if* the negative clearance/half-life values can be explained and addressed. The superior binding affinity of Ligand A is very attractive, but the potential for rapid metabolism could limit its efficacy.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands have significant permeability issues (negative Caco-2 values). However, Ligand A has a much more severe solubility problem. Ligand A boasts a significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.4 vs -7.8 kcal/mol), which is a crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. Ligand B has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a lower DILI risk. However, the substantial difference in binding affinity favors Ligand A. While the poor solubility and permeability of Ligand A are concerning, these could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher affinity provides a larger window for optimization. Ligand B's weaker affinity makes it less likely to succeed even with improved ADME properties.

Critically, Ligand A has far superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower DILI risk compared to Ligand B. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is still elevated, it is far less concerning than the high risk associated with Ligand B. The permeability is poor for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have low HBD (0) and reasonable HBA (5 and 4 respectively), satisfying the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.738 and 0.815), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (77.55) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.48). This is a significant concern, as lower DILI is preferred.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (96.08) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (65.61), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are close enough that this isn't a deciding factor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the values are close enough that this isn't a deciding factor.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.669) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.936), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (105.78) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (67.59), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (1.02) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (8.36), which is desirable.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly a much lower DILI risk and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). The lower TPSA of Ligand B also suggests better permeability. The slightly higher hERG risk of Ligand B is a minor concern compared to the higher DILI and lower metabolic stability of Ligand A.

**DILI:** Ligand A (14.036) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (61.729). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.564) and Ligand B (82.241) both have good BBB penetration, but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.635) and Ligand B (-5.062) both have negative values, which is unusual. Lower values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.368) and Ligand B (-3.733) both have negative values, which is also unusual. Lower values indicate lower solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.706) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.537), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (46.194) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (18.491), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-16.663) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-3.138). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.129 and 0.173, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-7.7 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, as potency is a primary concern for enzyme inhibitors. The difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is superior to Ligand A across most key parameters. It has better potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and better solubility and permeability (based on the negative values, though the scale is unknown).

The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.5 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand B has higher logP and clearance, the potency difference is substantial enough to prioritize it for further optimization. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but the strong binding provides a solid starting point.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Conclusion:**
While ligand B has a significantly longer half-life, ligand A excels in almost every other critical parameter. Its superior binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.4 kcal/mol), lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better solubility, better Caco-2 permeability, and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the half-life disadvantage. The difference in binding affinity is particularly significant. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) of A is also a positive.
Therefore, I predict **Ligand A** is the more viable drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.515 and 360.523 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (58.2) is also below 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (A: 3.832, B: 2.353). Ligand A is slightly higher, which *could* present solubility issues, but is still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=2) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=3) both have reasonable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED values (A: 0.712, B: 0.74), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (21.869) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (31.33), which is a major advantage. Both are below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (82.319) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (61.846), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.689) has a more negative Caco-2 value, suggesting *lower* permeability. Ligand B (-5.377) is even worse. Both are poor, but A is slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.855 and -4.323 respectively). This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.541) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.156), which is a negative for A. B is very favorable here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (66.904) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.158), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.529 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-2.646 hours). This is a substantial advantage for B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.318, B: 0.074), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.5 kcal/mol difference is meaningful, especially considering the other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have solubility issues, Ligand B exhibits superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and a stronger binding affinity. The lower DILI risk for Ligand A is attractive, but the significant advantages of Ligand B in metabolic stability and potency outweigh this benefit. The Caco-2 permeability is poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.293 hours) has a much shorter half-life than Ligand B (-31.106 hours - which is a very long half-life).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.336, B: 0.037). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** This is the most important parameter. Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). The 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better TPSA and logP, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.4 vs -8.5 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and lower TPSA. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) which is crucial for an enzyme target. The solubility and permeability issues are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.46 and 352.48 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.23) is significantly better than Ligand B (103.01). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B's TPSA is approaching a level that could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.14 and 1.16), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.609 and 0.586), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (30.98 and 33.58), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.76) has a much better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (35.32). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is rarely detrimental, and can indicate better overall permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.11) is better than Ligand B (-5.78). Higher values indicate better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.03 and -1.19). This is a significant concern for both.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (26.31) has a slightly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.87), indicating potentially lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (14.80) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.57). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.10 and 0.02).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). This is a 1.3 kcal/mol difference, which is a substantial advantage that can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a clear advantage in binding affinity and a better safety profile (hERG). It also has better TPSA, BBB, and Caco-2 permeability. The major drawback for Ligand A is its lower in vitro half-life and slightly higher clearance. Ligand B has a better half-life, but suffers from a higher TPSA, lower binding affinity, and a slightly higher hERG risk.

**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (A: 92.48, B: 75.38), though A is better. This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.515 and -4.518). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on the same scale, so it doesn't differentiate them.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.355 and -3.783). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, they are similar.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.932) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.289), which is a negative for A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.739) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.157), which is a negative for A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity, a better QED score, a lower DILI risk, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). While Ligand A has some drawbacks in logP, hERG, and P-gp, the strong binding affinity and favorable ADME properties (especially metabolic stability and DILI) outweigh these concerns. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the potency of A is likely to compensate. Ligand B's very weak binding affinity makes it a poor candidate despite its slightly better logP and hERG.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (363.439 Da) is slightly preferred as it's lower.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, indicating good potential for oral absorption. Ligand B (81.06) is lower than Ligand A (100.55), which is slightly favorable.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 1-3, which is optimal. Ligand B (3.923) is a bit higher than Ligand A (2.472), potentially leading to slight solubility issues, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 5 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5, indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.772) is slightly higher.
**DILI:** Both ligands have high DILI risk (Ligand A: 84.102, Ligand B: 91.431). This is a significant concern for both, but Ligand A is slightly better.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a major drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant issue for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.298, Ligand B: 0.111). Ligand B is preferred here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (77.238 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower clearance than Ligand B (12.823 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (99.828 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (24.208 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and longer half-life, which are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a higher DILI risk and a higher logP. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a slightly lower DILI risk, but its half-life is considerably shorter. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning.
Given the importance of potency and metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, the longer half-life of Ligand B is a more significant advantage than the better metabolic stability of Ligand A. The slightly higher DILI risk of Ligand B is a concern, but can be addressed with further optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.385 Da and 363.483 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (76.02 and 71.36) well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.333) is within the optimal range of 1-3, while Ligand B (3.521) is at the higher end, potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 5 HBA) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.693 and 0.69), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.734) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (41.76), which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (70.648 and 69.756), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.715) shows poorer Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.238), which is less desirable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.004 and -3.596), which is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.143) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.296), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.507) exhibits significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (72.184), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.16) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (39.975), which is a disadvantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.006 and 0.18).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While it has a slightly higher DILI risk and a higher logP, the substantial improvement in binding outweighs these concerns. Ligand A has better metabolic stability, lower hERG risk, and lower DILI, but its significantly weaker binding affinity makes it less likely to be a viable candidate. The solubility is poor for both, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (365.909 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (350.463 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.36) is significantly better than Ligand B (90.54). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this limit, but A is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.536) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.008) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. This is a significant drawback for B.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.785, B: 0.575), suggesting drug-like properties. A is better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.838) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (6.049), which is a critical advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (92.943) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (47.809), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.577) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.112), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.407) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-21.848). This means Ligand B is predicted to be *more* metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (26.538) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-3.215), which is a positive for A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.034, B: 0.004).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a *major* advantage for B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity, and significantly better metabolic stability. However, it suffers from a very low logP, which could severely impact its absorption. Ligand A has better overall ADME properties (logP, TPSA, DILI, hERG, half-life), but its binding affinity is extremely weak.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, binding affinity is paramount. The >1.5 kcal/mol advantage of Ligand B is substantial. While the low logP is a concern, it might be addressable through formulation strategies. The poor solubility and permeability are also concerns, but the potency advantage is significant.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.327 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (362.436 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (100.09) is better than Ligand B (58.2). Lower TPSA generally favors better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.277) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (3.721) is at the higher end, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 9 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 2 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (HBD <= 5, HBA <= 10). Ligand B's lower HBA/HBD count might slightly improve permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.518, B: 0.647), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (97.867), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (35.285), making it considerably safer from a liver toxicity perspective.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (A: 76.27, B: 86.468), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.102) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.524) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.571) has poor aqueous solubility, which could hinder bioavailability. Ligand B (-4.364) also has poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.165) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.412), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (80.8 mL/min/kg) has higher microsomal clearance, suggesting faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure. Ligand B (54.915 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-23.026) has a very short half-life, which is undesirable. Ligand B (4.347) has a better, but still short, half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.467) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.077) has very low P-gp efflux, which is even more favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -9.8 kcal/mol, B: -8.5 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 1.3 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its extremely high DILI risk, poor solubility, and short half-life are major liabilities. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits a much more favorable safety profile (low DILI), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the balance of properties favors Ligand B as the more viable drug candidate.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.864 and -4.478). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't clearly defined. It's difficult to interpret without knowing the units.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.999 and -3.525), also unusual and suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unclear.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.372) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.507), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.309) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.599), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (26.648 hours) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-22.791 hours). This is a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.36) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.066), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol), although the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While the binding affinity difference is minor, Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk, a much longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. The solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh these drawbacks. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and higher t1/2) is particularly important for an enzyme inhibitor.

**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (0 for A, 1 for B), well below the 5 limit.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (5 for A, 4 for B), well below the 10 limit.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.706 and 0.72), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (51.493) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.436), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (83.831) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (64.133), but this is less crucial for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.557) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.928) is also poor. Both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.416) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-1.799) is also poor. Both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.413 and 0.172).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.253) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.523), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-6.65) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (1.236), which is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.146) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is the most important factor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, and higher clearance, its *much* superior binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) makes it the more promising candidate. The strong binding is likely to outweigh the ADME liabilities, especially given that these can be addressed through further optimization. Ligand B's affinity is simply too weak to be a viable starting point.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (58.923) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.838), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (7.331 hours) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (24.751). This is a strong advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.595 and 0.073), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol). However, the difference (0.5 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME liabilities of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic), and lower in vitro half-life. Both have poor solubility and permeability, but the ADME profile of Ligand B is considerably better overall. The small difference in binding affinity is not enough to overcome the substantial drawbacks of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.435 and 346.431 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (108.33) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (67.67) is well within the ideal range.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.72) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.484) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (6) is acceptable. Ligand B (5) is also good.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.528 and 0.758, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.889) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.116). This is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired. Ligand B (66.615) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (40.597).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.126) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.252) is also low, but higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.32) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (17.859), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.741) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (9.751), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.041, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a 1.3 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior ADMET properties: lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance, longer half-life, and a much lower hERG risk. While Ligand B's logP is better, Ligand A's other advantages, especially the lower DILI and improved metabolic stability, are crucial for kinase inhibitors. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the difference in binding affinity is significant. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, I would favor Ligand B despite its slightly worse ADMET profile.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.887 and 0.899), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (69.252) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (61.07), but both are within an acceptable range (<60 is good, >60 is high risk).
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (65.297) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (38.658). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very poor permeability.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.411) has very poor solubility. Ligand B (-1.686) has slightly better solubility, but still poor.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.13 and 0.18), which is excellent.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand B (21.826) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (37.418), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand B (-3.794) has a negative in vitro half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand A (8.591) has a reasonable half-life.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have low Pgp efflux liability (0.155 and 0.033).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's a noticeable advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand B appears more promising despite the questionable half-life data. Its significantly lower Cl_mic suggests better metabolic stability, and its slightly better binding affinity is a plus. The solubility is still poor for both, but Ligand B is slightly better. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag and needs to be investigated. However, assuming this is a data error, the other factors favor Ligand B.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.597 and -4.966). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. It's important to note that negative values can occur in these models and don't necessarily translate directly to *in vivo* poor absorption, but it's a flag.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.982 and -1.792). Similar to Caco-2, negative values are unusual and indicate very low solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.052 and 0.127), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance rates (37.987 and 38.349 mL/min/kg), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a slightly negative half-life (-0.61), while Ligand B has a positive one (0.558). This suggests Ligand B might have slightly better *in vitro* stability.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.296 and 353.329 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (76.23) is better than Ligand B (81.39), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the ideal for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.594 and 1.416), within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand A is slightly higher, potentially aiding membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBAs, while Ligand B has 6. Both are below the 10 limit, but Ligand A is preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.81 and 0.885), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (76.076) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (90.733). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (75.649) is slightly better than Ligand B (68.205).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-4.566 and -4.528), indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values (-4.026 and -3.084), indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.394) shows lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.141). This is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.527) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-7.211). Ligand B exhibits negative clearance, which is highly favorable, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-29.913) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (-2.726) has a negative half-life, which is also not possible. Both are problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.38) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.032), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, it has a higher DILI risk, worse hERG, and poorer P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better solubility, lower DILI, and lower hERG risk. The difference in binding affinity is large enough to potentially overcome the slightly worse ADME profile of Ligand B. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the relatively manageable ADME issues with Ligand B, it is the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (363.414 and 364.563 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (91.32) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (79.96) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (2.369 and 3.701) within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is closer to the upper limit, which could potentially raise concerns about off-target effects, but not critically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 7 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limits of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.628 and 0.796), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (62.505 and 62.66), placing them in a moderate risk category. This isn't ideal, but not a dealbreaker at this stage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (39.007) has a low BBB penetration percentile, while Ligand B (84.141) has a high one. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.344 and -5.157) which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for oral bioavailability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.321 and -5.067). This is a major drawback and could severely limit bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.445 and 0.633), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (50.11 mL/min/kg) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (84.923 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance. Lower clearance is preferred for metabolic stability, so Ligand A is better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.002 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (26.511 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.178 and 0.162), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. While Ligand B has a better half-life and BBB, these are less critical for this target. The negative half-life reported for Ligand A is a data quality issue that would need to be investigated. However, assuming the binding affinity is accurate, Ligand A is the better starting point for optimization, focusing on improving solubility and permeability.

For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk are key. While Ligand B boasts a significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.4 vs -6.4 kcal/mol), which is a major plus, it has concerning issues with DILI risk and a nonsensical half-life value. Ligand A has a more balanced profile, with acceptable affinity, lower DILI risk, better BBB penetration, and a reasonable half-life. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are drawbacks, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.
Given the questionable half-life of Ligand B and its higher DILI risk, I would prioritize **Ligand A** as the more viable drug candidate. The stronger affinity of Ligand B is tempting, but the safety and PK concerns are too significant to ignore at this stage.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, better TPSA, solubility, hERG risk, Caco-2 permeability, and half-life. However, it has a higher DILI risk and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk, but its logP is very low, and its TPSA is high, potentially hindering permeability. The difference in binding affinity between A and B is substantial. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) ADME properties, makes it the more promising candidate. The DILI risk of Ligand A could be addressed through structural modifications in subsequent optimization rounds.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.435 and 346.471 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.45) is slightly higher than Ligand B (75.27). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is better.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.308) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.502) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.666) has a slightly better QED score than Ligand B (0.524), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (Ligand A: 38.736, Ligand B: 41.605), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 62.97, Ligand B: 60.566). BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS targets are involved.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.629 and -4.68), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.627 and -3.736), indicating extremely poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.075, Ligand B: 0.136). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.696) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.116), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-28.555) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound. Ligand B (-43.615) also has a negative half-life, indicating a similar issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.004, Ligand B: 0.18).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better logP and significantly stronger binding affinity. The lower logP of Ligand A is a major concern. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), the binding affinity difference is substantial. Both compounds have poor solubility and permeability, and negative half-lives, which are significant liabilities. However, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful for an enzyme inhibitor.

Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.2 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher hERG risk and poorer Caco-2 permeability. Crucially, Ligand B also exhibits much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) which is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors. Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability is a significant drawback.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.295 and 391.295 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (120.39) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (71.78) is excellent, well below 140, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.906 and 2.978) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands (0.56 and 0.519) are above 0.5, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (99.147 percentile), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (29.391 percentile), a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (82.629) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (50.679), but this is not a primary factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.72 and -4.588), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This needs further investigation, but it's a shared weakness.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.879 and -3.717), which is also concerning and needs further investigation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG risk (0.514 and 0.591).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (42.646) and Ligand B (48.122) have similar microsomal clearance values, suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.887) has a worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (42.959).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.184).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite having identical binding affinities, Ligand B is the superior candidate due to its significantly lower DILI risk (29.391 vs 99.147). While both have concerningly low Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility, the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major red flag that would likely disqualify it early in development. The better BBB and in vitro half-life of Ligand B are additional benefits.

**Comparison & Decision:**
Both ligands have excellent binding affinity. However, both have very poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. Ligand A has a higher logP and significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2) and a much higher DILI risk. Ligand B has a lower logP, better metabolic stability, and a lower DILI risk. While both have poor permeability and solubility, these can be addressed with formulation strategies. The lower DILI and better metabolic stability of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate, despite the lower logP. The slight improvement in binding affinity is a bonus.

**8. BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (72.896) is slightly better than Ligand B (67.662).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.674 and -5.188). This is unusual and suggests potential issues with intestinal absorption. However, negative values are often artifacts of the prediction method and don't necessarily preclude development.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.041 and -2.081). This is a significant concern for bioavailability and will require formulation strategies.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.49 and 0.548), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (19.466 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (30.178 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (18.097 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (9.235 hours), further supporting its improved metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.102 and 0.509), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant, and here it's a massive 8.9 kcal/mol difference.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme targets (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand B is clearly the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower microsomal clearance, and longer half-life outweigh the slightly lower BBB and similar solubility issues (which are problematic for both). The solubility issues would need to be addressed through formulation, but the potency and stability advantages of Ligand B are too significant to ignore.

While both ligands have excellent binding affinity and acceptable drug-like properties, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower DILI risk. These are crucial factors for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly better TPSA and BBB scores of Ligand A are additional benefits. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning, but similar for both compounds, so don't heavily influence the decision.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (372.447 and 355.777 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.6) is better than Ligand B (76.23), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.191) is lower than optimal (1-3), potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.741) is within the optimal range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.717) is slightly better than Ligand B (0.571), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.946) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (93.525). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (64.482) has a better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (44.979), but BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.827 and -4.88), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.156 and -5.149), also unusual and indicating very poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.151 and 0.189), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.07 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (68.229 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-32.78 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (30.934 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.028 and 0.385).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk and microsomal clearance, and a slightly better QED score. However, its negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. Ligand B has a better logP, which is important for permeability, and a slightly better binding affinity. Both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors and the questionable half-life of Ligand A, Ligand B appears to be the more promising candidate, despite the higher DILI risk. The binding affinity difference is small enough that it can be addressed in subsequent optimization.

Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) and a much lower DILI risk (32.493 vs 80.69). However, it has a higher microsomal clearance and shorter half-life. Both ligands suffer from poor solubility and permeability. Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), the stronger binding affinity and lower DILI risk of Ligand B outweigh the slightly worse metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but the starting point is better with Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (361.389 and 368.781 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (107.53) is better than Ligand B (133.21). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this range, but A is preferable.
**logP:** Both ligands (-0.352 and -0.98) are slightly below the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly worse, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (4 HBD, 4 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 7 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but A is more balanced.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.35 and 0.6), with Ligand B being better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.773) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (67.468). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (40.326) has a better BBB penetration than Ligand B (11.4), but this is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.966 and -5.678), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.069 and -1.946), also unusual and suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.587) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.045). This is a concern for Ligand A, but not a dealbreaker.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-14.93) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (13.18). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (36.307) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-16.12). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.034 and 0.044).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, which are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand B demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower hERG risk. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The superior affinity of Ligand A is a strong driver, and the DILI risk is acceptable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, considering the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.43 & 354.36 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (75.71) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better for potential CNS penetration. Ligand B (133.99) is still within acceptable limits for oral absorption but higher than A.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (1.115) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-1.231) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, though not drastically.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is good. Ligand B (3) is acceptable, but higher.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is good. Ligand B (8) is higher, potentially impacting permeability.
**6. QED:** Both ligands (0.554 and 0.576) have good drug-likeness scores, exceeding the 0.5 threshold.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (18.07) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (43.66). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (71.97) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (13.38). While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, better BBB penetration can sometimes correlate with better overall bioavailability.
**9. Caco-2:** Both ligands show negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it is hard to interpret.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.211 and 0.046), which is excellent.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand B (11.54) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (30.64), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B, given our priority for enzymes.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand B (-12.57) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-26.53), also favoring Ligand B.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (0.025 and 0.044).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9), but the difference is small (0.3 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), Ligand B appears slightly more promising. Its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer half-life are significant advantages. The slightly better binding affinity is a bonus. However, the lower logP and higher TPSA of Ligand B are slight concerns. Ligand A has a much better safety profile regarding DILI, but its metabolic stability is a concern. Given the small difference in binding affinity, the improved metabolic stability of Ligand B outweighs the DILI risk of Ligand A.

2025-04-17 14:55:09,340 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands (347.463 and 349.479 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range. No significant difference here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (70.47) is higher than Ligand B (53.96). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but B is better positioned, especially considering kinase inhibitors don't necessarily *require* high CNS penetration.
3. **logP:** Both ligands (0.957 and 1.106) are within the optimal 1-3 range. Again, a minor difference.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A has 1 HBD, while Ligand B has 0. This is a slight advantage for Ligand B, as fewer HBDs generally correlate with better permeability.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 7. Ligand A is preferable here, staying closer to the ideal of <=10.
6. **QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.778 and 0.762), indicating good drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (36.681 and 38.348 percentile), which is excellent. No significant difference.
8. **BBB:** Ligand B (88.833) has a significantly higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (62.544). However, as SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.807 and -4.716). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these are likely experimental artifacts or indicate a need for formulation strategies.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.044 and -1.49). This is a significant concern for both and would require addressing through formulation.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.345 and 0.847), which is good. Ligand A is slightly better.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (27.37 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.266 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (3.935 hours) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (19.131 hours). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.035), which is favorable. No significant difference.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand A has superior affinity and lower Cl_mic, while Ligand B has a much better half-life. Both have poor solubility and acceptable hERG.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) for Ligand A is a major advantage. The improved affinity is likely to translate to greater efficacy and potentially allow for a lower dose, mitigating some of the solubility concerns. The lower Cl_mic of Ligand A is also a positive. The solubility issue for both compounds would need to be addressed during formulation.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand A** as the more viable drug candidate.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, but has more potential for off-target interactions.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (0.82 and 0.671), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.658) has a moderate DILI risk, but is still acceptable. Ligand B (97.402) has a *high* DILI risk, which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (51.105 and 51.997), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.574) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.865) is even worse. Both are quite low, suggesting absorption issues.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.411) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-3.773) is slightly better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.615) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.331) also has a low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (42.832) has moderate microsomal clearance, suggesting reasonable metabolic stability. Ligand B (0.697) has *very* low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (24.298 hours) has a good in vitro half-life. Ligand B (14.234 hours) is acceptable, but shorter.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.489 and 0.031), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.9 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has superior metabolic stability and slightly better P-gp efflux, the *high* DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand A, despite its lower Caco-2 permeability and solubility, has a much more acceptable safety profile (lower DILI) and a good in vitro half-life. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, minimizing toxicity is crucial. The slight absorption issues with Ligand A could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**BBB:** Ligand A (69.484) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (55.874), but BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.839 and -4.746), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.032 and -4.148), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.169 and 0.183).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (23.661 mL/min/kg) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (31.166 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.141 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-5.403 hours). The negative value for ligand B is concerning and likely an artifact or error.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.187 and 0.2).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 0.7 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.

The lower DILI and hERG risk are also favorable. The affinity difference is large enough to compensate for the slightly higher TPSA and lower logP.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (399.288 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.415 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (54.26) is significantly better than Ligand B (111.55). Lower TPSA generally improves cell permeability. Ligand B's TPSA is relatively high, potentially hindering absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.093) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (0.963) is on the lower side, which could impede permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=3) is better balanced than Ligand B (HBD=4, HBA=5). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally favor permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (Ligand A: 0.656, Ligand B: 0.56), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (68.244) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.293). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (44.552) is slightly better than Ligand B (34.587).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.008) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.151), but both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-4.32) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.154), but both are problematic.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.702) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.1), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.89) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (12.379), meaning it's less metabolically stable. Lower Cl_mic is preferred.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-23.976) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (104.269). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.56) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.025), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (Ligand A: -9.2 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a 1.1 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial and can potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significant advantage in binding affinity and slightly better permeability and solubility. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and significantly better metabolic stability (longer half-life), but its TPSA is higher and affinity is slightly lower.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. The 1.1 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity, while substantial, is unlikely to overcome the significant safety and metabolic concerns associated with Ligand A. The longer half-life of Ligand B also suggests a potentially more favorable dosing regimen.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.723 and 0.913), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (42.575) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.081), but both are below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (78.364 and 74.06), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and indicates poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.08) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.622) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.12) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.669), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.548) has a significantly *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-36.665). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.075 and 0.069), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6) has a slightly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2), although the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is slightly favored due to its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, much longer t1/2), lower hERG risk, and slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand B has a better logP, the significant advantage of Ligand A in metabolic stability and half-life outweighs this. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning and would require further investigation/optimization, but the better ADME profile of Ligand A makes it the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.686) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.384), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have very similar, and acceptable, DILI risk (29.779% and 29.081%).
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (50.679% and 54.944%). Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.82 and -4.596). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.938 and -1.773). Again, these are on a log scale, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.234) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.098), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (67.198) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (27.597), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-29.763) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-16.071), indicating better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.178 and 0.014).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor permeability and solubility predictions for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -6.7 kcal/mol) and its better QED score outweigh its slightly higher DILI and hERG risk, and higher Cl_mic. The difference in binding affinity is substantial. The poor ADME properties would require optimization, but a strong starting point with high potency is crucial for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B's better metabolic stability is appealing, but the weaker affinity is a major disadvantage.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.261 and 0.339, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity, Ligand B presents a much more favorable ADME profile, particularly regarding DILI risk and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life). The difference in binding affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B. The lower DILI and improved metabolic stability of Ligand B make it a safer and more likely candidate to progress further in development.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.29) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023), which is a slight advantage.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0), but the difference is relatively small (0.8 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, H-bonds, DILI, solubility, hERG, P-gp) and has a slightly better binding affinity. However, its significantly higher microsomal clearance is a major concern. Ligand B has a better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) but suffers from a higher DILI risk, lower solubility, and a slightly weaker binding affinity.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial. While Ligand A's affinity is slightly better, the substantial difference in Cl_mic makes Ligand B the more promising candidate. The difference in affinity (0.8 kcal/mol) is unlikely to overcome the significant metabolic disadvantage of Ligand A.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Decision:**
While Ligand A boasts a much stronger binding affinity, its significantly higher microsomal clearance, shorter half-life, and lower solubility are major concerns. Ligand B, despite having a slightly weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable ADME-Tox profile with lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability, and better solubility. The difference in binding affinity (0.4 kcal/mol) is not large enough to overcome the substantial ADME deficiencies of Ligand A.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.263 and 0.213).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.8) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-22.682), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.536) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-7.074).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.02 and 0.013).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.3). While both are good, the 0.8 kcal/mol difference is noticeable.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), better TPSA and HBA values, and slightly better binding affinity. While both have issues with predicted permeability and solubility, the ADME profile of Ligand A is superior, and the slightly improved binding affinity adds to its favorability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (383.813 and 362.499 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (107.36) is slightly higher than the preferred <140, but still reasonable. Ligand B (76.02) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.194 and 1.907) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 7 HBA, meeting the <5 and <10 criteria. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, also meeting the criteria.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.795 and 0.727), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a concerningly high DILI risk (96.976 percentile). Ligand B has a much lower and acceptable DILI risk (37.224 percentile). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (51.377 and 53.897 percentile), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.758) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-5.486) also has poor Caco-2 permeability, but slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.512) and Ligand B (-2.681) both have poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.263) shows a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.13), though both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-1.637) has a negative value, indicating very low clearance and excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (19.962) has a high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.945) has a very long in vitro half-life, consistent with the low clearance. Ligand B (1.42) has a short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.079 and 0.057).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). While a 0.6 kcal/mol difference isn't huge, it's noticeable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has excellent metabolic stability and half-life, but suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, poor solubility, and a very high DILI risk. Ligand B has better Caco-2 permeability, solubility, and a much lower DILI risk, but has poor metabolic stability and a shorter half-life.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is crucial. However, the extremely high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major red flag. While its metabolic stability is attractive, the potential for liver toxicity is too significant to ignore. Ligand B, despite its lower metabolic stability, presents a more balanced profile with a much more acceptable safety profile. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B also contributes to its favorability.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands have similar binding affinities, with Ligand A being slightly better (-7.5 vs -7.3). However, Ligand A suffers from very poor solubility and high metabolic clearance, which are critical issues for an enzyme inhibitor. Ligand B has excellent metabolic stability (very low Cl_mic) and a better QED score, indicating a more drug-like profile. Although Ligand B has a very short half-life, this can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are concerning, but the metabolic stability of Ligand B is a significant advantage for a kinase inhibitor.
Considering the priorities for enzyme targets (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), and the fact that the affinity difference is relatively small, **Ligand B is the more promising candidate**. The metabolic stability and better drug-like properties outweigh the slightly lower affinity and short half-life, which can be optimized in subsequent iterations.

**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.806) is concerningly low, suggesting poor intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.54) is similarly low.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.045) is poor. Ligand B (-1.744) is also poor, but slightly better.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.319, B: 0.168), which is positive.
**Cl_mic:** Ligand A (39.728) has moderate metabolic clearance. Ligand B (-2.062) has *negative* clearance, which is unusual and likely an artifact of the prediction method, but suggests excellent metabolic stability.
**t1/2:** Ligand A (-1.782) has a negative half-life, which is also likely an artifact of the prediction method. Ligand B (3.814) has a reasonable in vitro half-life.
**Pgp:** Both ligands have low Pgp efflux (A: 0.24, B: 0.031), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and a much better DILI profile. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, and questionable in vitro half-life. Ligand B has a lower affinity but better metabolic stability (indicated by the negative Cl_mic), a slightly better solubility, and a reasonable half-life. The biggest drawback for Ligand B is its low logP, which could severely limit its absorption.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a major advantage. While its solubility and permeability are concerning, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The superior potency of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful than the slightly better ADME profile of Ligand B.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, a longer half-life, and better BBB penetration. However, it suffers from high logP, poor solubility, and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better solubility, lower hERG risk, and better P-gp efflux, but its affinity is weaker and Caco-2 permeability is very poor.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, binding affinity and metabolic stability (half-life) are paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.8 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) is a major driver. While Ligand B's solubility and logP are concerning, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The poor permeability of Ligand A is a more difficult issue to overcome.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.447 and 346.471 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (77.63) is higher than Ligand B (58.64). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is better positioned.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.807 and 2.292), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBAs, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.899) has a much higher QED score than Ligand B (0.286), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.399) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (13.571), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand B (70.764) has a higher BBB penetration score than Ligand A (57.929). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.19) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.711).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.032 and -2.071). This is a concern for both, but needs to be addressed in formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.096) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.313), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (27.469) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.279) has a much shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-1.414), further indicating lower metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.082) shows lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.1), which is slightly favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 0.1 kcal/mol difference is not substantial enough to overcome the ADME liabilities of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and a better QED score, the significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2), higher DILI risk, and poorer Caco-2 permeability make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B, despite its lower QED, presents a more favorable balance of properties, particularly regarding metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG). The slightly better BBB penetration of Ligand B is irrelevant for this target.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both ligands have good affinity, Ligand A significantly outperforms Ligand B in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), hERG risk, and P-gp efflux. Solubility is poor for both, but Ligand B's high logP is also concerning.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities and the overall profile, **Ligand A** is the more promising drug candidate. Its superior metabolic stability, lower hERG risk, and better P-gp efflux outweigh the slightly lower binding affinity and less ideal logP. The poor solubility of both is a concern that would need to be addressed in formulation, but is less critical than metabolic liabilities.

2025-04-17 14:59:46,467 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [348.355, 114.84 , 2.451, 2. , 6. , 0.612, 68.437, 36.526, -4.517, -3.84 , 0.534, 42.232, 25.642, 0.427, -8.4 ]
**Ligand B:** [353.482, 61.44 , 2.383, 2. , 3. , 0.691, 13.532, 86.041, -4.899, -1.636, 0.607, -8.323, -5.671, 0.085, -8.5 ]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (348.355) is slightly lower, which is generally favorable for permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (114.84) is above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but still reasonable. B (61.44) is excellent, well below 140.
3. **logP:** Both are within the optimal 1-3 range. A (2.451) and B (2.383) are very similar.
4. **HBD:** Both have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
5. **HBA:** A has 6 HBA, and B has 3 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10. B is preferable here, as fewer HBA generally leads to better permeability.
6. **QED:** Both have good QED scores (A: 0.612, B: 0.691), indicating drug-like properties. B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** A (68.437) is moderately high risk, while B (13.532) is very low risk. This is a significant advantage for B.
8. **BBB:** A (36.526) is low, while B (86.041) is high. While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is rarely a detriment.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified. Assuming these are logP values, lower values indicate lower permeability. A (-4.517) is worse than B (-4.899).
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.84) is worse than B (-1.636). Solubility is crucial for enzyme inhibitors.
11. **hERG:** Both have low hERG risk (A: 0.534, B: 0.607).
12. **Cl_mic:** A (42.232) is higher than B (-8.323), meaning B has better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** A (25.642) is better than B (-5.671), suggesting a longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.427) is lower than B (0.085), indicating less P-gp efflux and potentially better bioavailability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinity (A: -8.4, B: -8.5). The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have excellent binding affinity, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate. It has significantly lower DILI risk, superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), better solubility, and fewer HBA. Although ligand A has a longer in vitro half-life and lower Pgp efflux, the advantages of B in DILI, metabolic stability, and solubility outweigh these factors. The Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other ADME properties of B are far more favorable.

Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. It also has a better logP, TPSA, and BBB penetration. While Ligand A has better hERG inhibition and slightly better microsomal clearance, the potency advantage of Ligand B is more critical. The negative half-life values for both compounds are concerning and would require further investigation.

The lower microsomal clearance of Ligand B is also beneficial. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but the potency advantage of B is substantial.

**DILI:** Ligand A (30.865) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (12.253), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (85.731) is slightly higher than Ligand B (77.821). This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.414) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.521) is better, but still not great.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.491) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-0.433) is better. Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.123) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.528), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-14.115) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (46.856), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.502) has a negative half-life, which is unusual and suggests rapid degradation. Ligand B (38.252) has a much better in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.007) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.04) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-6.6 and -7.5 kcal/mol). Ligand B has a slightly better affinity, but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, hERG, P-gp efflux, and especially microsomal clearance. However, it suffers from poor solubility, poor Caco-2 permeability, and a concerningly low in vitro half-life. Ligand B has better logP, TPSA, solubility, and a much better half-life. While its DILI and hERG risks are higher, the metabolic stability and solubility advantages of Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme inhibitor.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (367.245 and 357.296 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (51.47) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and is preferable. Ligand B (97.54) is higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.435) is slightly above the optimal 1-3 range, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects, but not dramatically so. Ligand B (0.277) is significantly low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, well within the limit of 10. Ligand B has 8 HBA, which is still acceptable, but less ideal than A.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.813 and 0.785), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (68.825) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (71.694), but both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (77.084 and 88.174), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.565 and -4.809). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not defined so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.113 and -2.625). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility, which is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.767) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.135). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.943) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.72), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (38.439) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-17.587), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.266) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.07), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the overwhelmingly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) makes it the far more promising candidate. The better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux also contribute to its favorability. While Ligand B has a lower hERG risk, the potency difference is too large to ignore. The solubility and permeability issues can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.431) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.956). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.196) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (49.782), indicating better metabolic stability. This is crucial for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.277) has a worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (20.623).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.049) has much lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.842), which is beneficial for bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. While both have solubility issues, Ligand A excels in critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and superior binding affinity. The better binding affinity is a significant advantage that can outweigh the slightly worse Caco-2 permeability and in vitro half-life. Ligand B's higher logP and associated potential for off-target effects and formulation challenges are also concerning.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (359.455 and 364.274 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.77) is better than Ligand B (61.2) as it is closer to the 90 A^2 threshold for CNS targets, though this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.215 and 2.29), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and 6 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.755 and 0.797), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (94.765) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (73.09). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a high priority for SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.579 and 0.403), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.625 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.91 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.955 hours) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a significant red flag. Ligand A (82.257 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.282 and 0.144), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better TPSA and half-life, the significantly higher DILI risk and lower binding affinity make it less attractive. Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and lower P-gp efflux, but the negative in vitro half-life is a critical issue. However, the negative half-life is likely an error in the data. Assuming the half-life is a positive value, Ligand B is the better candidate due to its stronger binding affinity and lower DILI risk.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (109.98) is higher than Ligand B (58.64). While both are below 140 for oral absorption, Ligand B's lower TPSA is preferable for better absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 2.237, B: 2.68), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is higher than Ligand B (1). Both are within the acceptable limit of 5, but B is better.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (79.333) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (16.751). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (A: 58.821, B: 76.309). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.664) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.288). Lower is better, so B is preferable.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (-3.464) has a *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.712). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (44.943) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.946). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**14. Pgp:** Ligand A (0.207) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.072). Lower is better, so A is preferable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.3). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior profile regarding key ADME properties (lower DILI, lower hERG, lower TPSA, fewer H-bonds) and significantly better binding affinity. Despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values, the strong binding affinity and favorable ADME profile make it a more promising candidate. Ligand A's higher DILI risk and weaker binding affinity are major drawbacks, even though it has better metabolic stability and half-life. The difference in binding affinity (-7.6 vs -9.3) is substantial and likely outweighs the benefits of Ligand A's slightly better metabolic properties.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.717 and 0.629), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (65.995) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (20.822), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (77.239) has a better score than Ligand B (45.754).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.975) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.284) is also poor, but slightly better than A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.788 and 0.012).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better BBB score, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The substantially stronger binding affinity (-7.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. Furthermore, Ligand B exhibits significantly lower DILI risk, better solubility, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower hERG risk. While its logP is low, the strong binding affinity and improved ADME properties outweigh this concern. Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are also significant drawbacks.

9. **Caco-2:** Both A (-4.819) and B (-5.09) are negative, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. B is slightly worse.
10. **Solubility:** Both A (-1.275) and B (-1.298) are poor. Solubility is a concern for both.
11. **hERG:** A (0.213) is very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk. B (0.355) is slightly higher, but still acceptable. A is better.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (26.154) is higher than B (19.987), suggesting faster metabolic clearance and lower metabolic stability. B is better.

15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.3) is slightly better than B (-9.2). However, the difference is not substantial enough to overcome other issues.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better DILI score, hERG, and Pgp efflux profile, and slightly better binding affinity. However, it suffers from very poor *in vitro* half-life and higher metabolic clearance. Its logP is also problematic.
Ligand B has better logP, QED, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and a slightly better TPSA. While its DILI score is higher, it's still within a moderate risk range. The poor Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved metabolic stability and logP of Ligand B outweigh the slightly higher DILI risk and slightly weaker binding. The longer half-life is particularly valuable for a kinase inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (437.384 Da) is slightly higher, but still acceptable. Ligand B (354.403 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (51.22) is better than Ligand B (102.01) as it is closer to the ideal threshold of 140 for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.785) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (0.411) is quite low, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 6 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.444 and 0.5), indicating acceptable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (79.333) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (40.403). Ligand B is preferable here.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.57) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.089). Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (123.32) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (30.209), suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is preferable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-15.825) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (37.662) is acceptable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.558) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.031), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a negative half-life (a critical issue), its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.2 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) and lower DILI/hERG risk make it the more promising candidate. The negative half-life is a serious concern that would require further investigation (e.g., checking the data source, considering it an error), but the potency advantage is substantial. Ligand A has better metabolic stability, but the affinity difference is key for an enzyme target.

**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.836 and 0.747), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 19.659, which is excellent (low risk). Ligand B has a higher DILI risk of 58.666, but still below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.337 and 80.419), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.152 and -4.859), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.616 and -2.535), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, which is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.253 and 0.177), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a negative Cl_mic (-1.993), which is excellent, suggesting very high metabolic stability. Ligand B has a higher Cl_mic (42.802), indicating faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of 31.055 hours, which is good. Ligand B has a negative half-life (-3.383), which is not physically meaningful and likely an artifact of the prediction.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.02 and 0.257), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a better binding affinity (-8.6 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). The 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability predictions for both compounds, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. Furthermore, its excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic) and very low DILI risk are highly desirable. While the low logP and solubility are concerns, these might be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. Ligand B's higher metabolic clearance and nonsensical half-life are significant drawbacks.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a clear advantage in terms of DILI risk and a slightly better TPSA. However, Ligand B shines with significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a much longer in vitro half-life. Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability and half-life are crucial. While both have poor predicted solubility and permeability, the improved PK profile of Ligand B outweighs the slightly better safety profile of Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.346) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.059), which is a slight advantage.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and better half-life) outweigh the slight advantages of Ligand A in terms of P-gp efflux. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both, but metabolic stability and safety are more critical for an enzyme inhibitor.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.74 and 0.73), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (18.147) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (69.058). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (78.247) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (19.814).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.377) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and concerning. Ligand B (-5.062) is also negative, but similarly problematic. This suggests poor intestinal absorption for both, but is more concerning for Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.058) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.115), though both are poor.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.346 and 0.046), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.767) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-15.551). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-34.443) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (8.423), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). The difference of 1.4 kcal/mol is substantial and outweighs many of the ADME concerns with Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite some ADME drawbacks (low Caco-2 and solubility) in both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A is attractive, but the potency and stability advantages of Ligand B are more important in this case.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its high DILI risk, poor Caco-2 permeability, and poor solubility are major liabilities. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is weaker and its in vitro half-life is very short.
Despite the affinity difference, the severe ADME liabilities of Ligand A, particularly the DILI risk, make it a less viable candidate. While the affinity difference is significant, the poor ADME profile of A is likely to lead to failure in later stages of development. Ligand B, while weaker in binding, offers a much more favorable starting point for optimization due to its better safety and pharmacokinetic properties.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.827 and -4.908), which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.674 and -3.883), which is also concerning and suggests very poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.529) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.84). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.683) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (99.354), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-19.932) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (9.942) is a reasonable value. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.026) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.522), which is beneficial.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme target. However, it has a higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better DILI, clearance, and P-gp properties, but its binding affinity is extremely weak, and its half-life is not possible. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning and would require significant optimization.
Despite the concerns with both compounds, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B outweighs its other drawbacks, *assuming* the negative solubility and permeability can be addressed through formulation or structural modifications. The negative half-life of Ligand A is a showstopper.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (104.31) is better than Ligand B (43.18). Both are below 140, but Ligand B is significantly lower, which *could* indicate better absorption, but also potentially reduced solubility.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.586) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (4.019) is pushing the upper limit and could lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, well within the guidelines. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA, also acceptable, but the lack of HBDs might negatively impact aqueous solubility.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.632 and 0.67), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.108), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (35.75), making it significantly more favorable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand B (78.79) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (31.64).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.913) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.173) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.975) has poor aqueous solubility, and Ligand B (-3.266) is slightly better.
**hERG:** Both ligands have similar hERG risk (0.714 and 0.796), indicating moderate risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (61.199) has a higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (50.503) has better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (13.803 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-9.025 hours), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.328 and 0.575).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's slightly better MW and TPSA, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The key factors driving this decision are:
* **Significantly lower DILI risk:** Ligand B's DILI risk is much more acceptable.
* **Stronger Binding Affinity:** The -7.9 kcal/mol affinity of Ligand B is substantially better than Ligand A's -9.1 kcal/mol.
* **Better Metabolic Stability:** Lower Cl_mic and longer half-life for Ligand B.
* **Slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability**
The higher logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but the benefits in other critical areas outweigh this drawback.

**logP:** Ligand A (3.161) is optimal. Ligand B (0.459) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 3 HBA) is well within the guidelines. Ligand B (4 HBD, 4 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly less optimal.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.607 and 0.546), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.185) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (32.222), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is not a high priority for a non-CNS target. Ligand A (70.376) is better than Ligand B (41.218).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests issues with the assay or the compounds themselves. However, the magnitude of negativity is similar, so it doesn't strongly differentiate them.

2025-04-17 15:04:29,740 - INFO - Reasoning:
Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands fall within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (429.292 Da) is at the higher end, while Ligand B (349.391 Da) is more favorably positioned.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have similar TPSA values (around 98.5), which is slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but not a major concern for a kinase inhibitor.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.277) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.786) is significantly below this, potentially hindering membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (5/7) counts, falling within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.395 and 0.693), suggesting reasonable drug-likeness. Ligand B is better here.
**DILI:** Ligand A (85.653) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (48.662). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Both are moderate.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but potentially more problematic for Ligand B given its already low logP.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.819) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.053). This favors Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-5.498) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand A (79.89) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. This is a major disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (19.699) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-22.005), which is a negative value and therefore unrealistic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.737) has moderate P-gp efflux liability. Ligand B (0.006) has very low efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.5+ kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate despite the questionable Caco-2 and solubility data. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux, and better half-life outweigh the concerns about its low logP and poor solubility. The negative microsomal clearance is a data error that needs to be investigated, but assuming it's a positive value, it would further strengthen the case for Ligand B. Ligand A suffers from high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (341.386 and 341.411 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is significantly better than Ligand B (75.44), being well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.559 and 2.04), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (3/4) counts, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.93 and 0.835), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.772) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand B (60.566), indicating a lower risk of liver injury, though both are acceptable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration, but Ligand A (80.109) is better than Ligand B (74.254). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.764 and -4.746). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.082 and -3.627). Again, the scale is unspecified, making interpretation difficult. However, similar negative values suggest comparable solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.43) has a significantly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.241), which is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.405) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.499), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.417) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.363).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.198) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.37), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is significant, but needs to be weighed against the ADME properties.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, but Ligand A excels in almost all ADME properties: lower DILI, better BBB, lower hERG risk, significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), lower P-gp efflux, and a slightly better half-life. The improved metabolic stability and reduced toxicity risks of Ligand A are particularly important for kinase inhibitors, which often suffer from rapid metabolism and off-target effects. The Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but are similar. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the superior ADME profile of Ligand A outweighs the slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the enzyme-class guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (344.367 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (383.861 Da) is still well within the range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential. Ligand A (101.7) is slightly higher than Ligand B (98.26), but both are acceptable.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 1 and 3 (A: 3.789, B: 2.114), which is optimal for drug-likeness. Ligand A is a bit higher, potentially leading to some off-target interactions, but still within a reasonable range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 8. Both are acceptable, but Ligand A is slightly better.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.585, B: 0.755), indicating good overall drug-like properties, with Ligand B being slightly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have high DILI risk (A: 89.841, B: 91.314), which is a concern. This will need to be addressed in further optimization.
**BBB:** Ligand A (16.363) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (57.968) is better but still not ideal. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.058 and -4.866). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.473 and -3.849). This is a major concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.317, B: 0.222), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.131 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance than Ligand B (45.377 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.582 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. This is a data error and a major red flag. Ligand B (-0.798 hours) also has a very short half-life, indicating rapid metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (A: 0.15, B: 0.039).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and fewer HBA. However, it has a nonsensical half-life value and slightly higher logP. Ligand B has a better QED score and slightly better BBB penetration, but weaker binding affinity and higher clearance. Both have poor solubility and permeability, and high DILI risk.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibitors, and the large difference in binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate *despite* the questionable half-life value. The negative half-life is likely a data error that needs to be investigated, but the strong binding affinity makes it worth pursuing. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through structural modifications.

Ligand B has a stronger binding affinity, but suffers from higher DILI, worse solubility, and faster metabolism.
The binding affinity difference is significant. A >1 kcal/mol difference can often outweigh other concerns, *especially* if the other properties aren't dramatically worse. In this case, while Ligand B's solubility and metabolic stability are less ideal, they aren't catastrophic. Solubility can be addressed with formulation strategies, and metabolic stability can sometimes be improved through structural modifications. The poor Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A is a more difficult issue to resolve.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.81 and -3.476), again suggesting poor solubility. Similar to Caco-2, the scale is unclear.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.375) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.488), but both are relatively low and acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.037) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.909), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (35.071) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-8.597). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.082) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.069), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.1 and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference (0.5 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh other significant drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and metabolic stability, its significantly higher DILI risk and lower solubility are major concerns. Ligand B, despite slightly lower affinity and metabolic stability, presents a much more favorable safety profile (DILI) and potentially better permeability (lower TPSA). Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk of Ligand B is a crucial advantage, making it the more viable drug candidate.

While its logP and solubility are less ideal, the strong binding affinity (-7.4 kcal/mol) and low hERG risk are positives. Ligand B has better logP and solubility, but its significantly higher clearance is a major drawback. The small difference in binding affinity doesn't outweigh the metabolic concerns with Ligand B.

**BBB:** Ligand A (93.602) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (71.772) is good, but not as high. While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, better BBB penetration can sometimes correlate with better overall bioavailability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.999 and -5.049). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified. We'll need to consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.577) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.73), but both are poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.964 and 0.895).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (103.529) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (59.138), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.

**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher logP, poorer solubility, and higher clearance, its *exceptional* binding affinity (-9.1 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is the dominating factor. A difference of over 9 kcal/mol is substantial and suggests Ligand A is far more potent. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.084) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.345) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-30.201) indicates very low microsomal clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (69.899) has a much higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-6.797) suggests a long half-life, consistent with low clearance. Ligand B (0.433) suggests a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.01 and 0.388 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower hERG risk, its poor Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility are major concerns. Ligand B, despite its faster metabolism, has significantly better binding affinity, better logP, and slightly better solubility and permeability. The strong binding affinity of Ligand B is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor, and the difference in affinity is large enough to compensate for the less favorable metabolic stability.

While Ligand A has slightly better Caco-2 permeability and P-gp efflux, Ligand B excels in critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and better solubility. The QED score is also higher for Ligand B. The difference in binding affinity (-10.9 vs -8.7 kcal/mol) is substantial and likely to be decisive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (369.443 and 370.402 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (102.17) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (84.94) is well within the range.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.086) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.212) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 5 HBA, both are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.752 and 0.861), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (39.395) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (68.282), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (65.801 and 68.67), not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.315 and -4.71), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.952 and -2.932), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.299 and 0.23), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.705) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.239), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-20.44) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the molecule. Ligand B (2.033) has a short half-life, which is less ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.16).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.7 vs -9.2 kcal/mol) outweighs the higher DILI risk and shorter half-life. The better logP value also favors Ligand B. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major red flag. While both need improvement in solubility and permeability, the potency advantage of Ligand B is crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (57.61) is significantly better than Ligand B (93.9). A TPSA under 140 is desirable for oral absorption, and both meet this, but A is much closer to the ideal for permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.631) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.1) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBA, while Ligand B has 6. Ligand B is higher, but still within the acceptable range of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.9) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.707) is still acceptable, but lower.
**DILI:** Ligand A (78.054) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (62.35). This is a concern for A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (60.954) is higher than A (41.218), but neither is particularly high.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.189 and 0.08), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.179) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (21.864), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.167) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-21.539). The negative value for B is suspect and likely indicates a very rapid clearance or an issue with the assay.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.096 and 0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is meaningful, especially considering the other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the stronger candidate. Despite a slightly higher DILI risk, its superior logP, TPSA, QED, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and binding affinity outweigh the DILI concern. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the other properties of A are more favorable. Ligand B's very high Cl_mic and negative half-life are major drawbacks.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). It also has a much lower DILI risk and P-gp efflux. However, its logP is very low, and its QED is poor. The negative half-life is a major red flag. Ligand A has a better QED, TPSA, and BBB, but suffers from higher clearance and a slightly lower binding affinity. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both.
Despite the negative half-life, the superior binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand B, coupled with its low DILI and P-gp efflux, make it a more promising starting point for optimization, assuming the half-life issue can be resolved. The low logP can be addressed through structural modifications.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability. Ligand B (0.029) is slightly lower.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol), a 0.7 kcal/mol difference. This difference is significant, but needs to be weighed against other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and QED score, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, and a nonsensical half-life. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, reasonable t1/2), and slightly better permeability/solubility, despite a slightly weaker binding affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved safety and metabolic stability of Ligand B outweigh the modest difference in binding affinity.

**DILI:** Ligand A (13.84) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.58). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (95.81) has excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (57.85) is moderate. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it doesn't hurt.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.65) has better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.21), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.016 and -3.904 respectively). This is a significant drawback for both, but potentially manageable with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.819) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.601), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.606) has much better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand B (58.505). This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.229 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.838 hours). This is another major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.172) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.396), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0) has a substantially better binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a very significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B. A difference of 9 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior ADME profile across almost all parameters (QED, DILI, BBB, Caco-2, hERG, Cl_mic, t1/2, Pgp). However, Ligand B's binding affinity is *much* stronger. Given that we are targeting an enzyme (SRC kinase), potency is paramount. The 9 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is likely to be decisive, even considering the ADME liabilities of Ligand B. While the solubility and metabolic stability of Ligand B are concerning, these issues can potentially be addressed through formulation and structural modifications during lead optimization.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly lower logP, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly improved binding affinity, much lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and lower DILI risk outweigh the slightly poorer Caco-2 permeability and solubility compared to Ligand A. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of Ligand A are significant concerns, and the higher DILI risk is also undesirable. The strong binding affinity of Ligand B suggests it could be effective at lower doses, potentially mitigating some of the permeability/solubility issues.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.136) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (12.584). This is a positive attribute for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.007).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a longer half-life, and similar P-gp efflux. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, poorer solubility, and lower Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI), better solubility and permeability, but significantly weaker binding affinity.
The difference in binding affinity (-8.7 vs -6.6 kcal/mol) is substantial. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The weaker binding of Ligand B would likely require a much larger structural overhaul to achieve comparable potency.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (116.88) is slightly above the preferred <140, but still acceptable. Ligand B (108.12) is better, being well below 140.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (0.625) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.453) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) is good. Ligand B (4) is acceptable, but approaching the upper limit.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (6) is good. Ligand B (8) is also acceptable, but higher.
**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.781) is excellent, indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.38) is significantly lower, suggesting potential issues.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have the same DILI risk (47.15%), which is good (below 40 is ideal, but <60 is acceptable).
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (68.282) is lower, while Ligand B (54.091) is even lower. BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.007 and -5.467), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.148 and -2.189), also unusual and concerning.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.132) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.763) is higher, but still relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.356) has a negative clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (48.852) has a moderate clearance, which is not ideal, but not alarming.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-30.635) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (55.45) is a reasonable half-life.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.013 and 0.12).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). A difference of 1.2 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED and hERG profile, but its permeability and solubility are questionable (negative values are problematic). Furthermore, the negative values for clearance and half-life are data errors and render it unusable. Ligand B, while having a lower QED and slightly higher hERG, has a significantly better binding affinity and more reasonable ADME properties (despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values, they are not as extreme as Ligand A's impossible values). Given the enzyme-specific priority on potency, the superior binding affinity of Ligand B is a major advantage. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds suggest a significant formulation challenge, but Ligand B is still the more promising candidate due to its superior affinity and more plausible ADME profile.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (351.447 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.74) is better than Ligand B (66.48) as it is closer to the 90 A^2 threshold for CNS targets. However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.577) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (3.211) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.685, B: 0.744), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.541) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.852). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (70.609) is slightly better. This is not a major concern for a non-CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.144) has poor Caco-2 permeability, a significant drawback. Ligand B (-4.775) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.154) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-3.264) is even worse. Both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.184) has a very low hERG risk, a major advantage. Ligand B (0.611) is higher, indicating a greater potential for cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-1.324) exhibits better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand B (35.611). This is a crucial factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.924) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (45.088).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.016) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.248) is slightly higher.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and a good logP value. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability, worse solubility, and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has a significantly better safety profile (DILI, hERG), better metabolic stability, and better P-gp efflux. The lower binding affinity of Ligand A is a concern, but the substantial improvements in ADME/Tox properties, particularly the low hERG risk and DILI, make it a more promising starting point for optimization. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of both compounds would need to be addressed, but these are more readily optimized than inherent toxicity risks.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBAs, and Ligand B has 4, both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.758 and 0.772), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 60.682, which is borderline high. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk of 5.894, which is excellent.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (31.136) and Ligand B (83.831) are not particularly relevant here.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.993 and -4.655), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and don't necessarily disqualify the compounds.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.249 and -1.12), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.287) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.479) is also concerning. Both need further investigation.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (76.395) has a relatively high microsomal clearance, suggesting faster metabolism. Ligand B (-10.467) has a *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely indicates an issue with the data or model.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (58.569) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (-5.844) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data issue.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.175 and 0.004), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity. However, the negative values for Cl_mic and t1/2 are red flags, suggesting data errors. Ligand A has more reasonable (though not ideal) ADME properties, but very weak binding.
Given the significant difference in binding affinity and the questionable ADME data for Ligand B, and prioritizing potency for an enzyme target, I would cautiously favor Ligand A, *assuming* the negative values for Ligand B are data errors. The weak binding of Ligand A is a major drawback, but it's a more reliable starting point than a compound with impossible ADME properties. Further investigation and data validation are critical for both compounds.

**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 2 HBA) is ideal. Ligand B (2 HBD, 9 HBA) is acceptable, though the higher HBA count could slightly affect permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.693 and 0.691), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.218) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.907), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (98.139) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (66.615) is lower. While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, good BBB penetration isn't detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.499) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.247) is also poor. Both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.655 and -3.122 respectively). This is a concern for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.687 and 0.587).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.079 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (59.948 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.055 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (22.702 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.206 and 0.076).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better overall ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, better BBB penetration), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.5 vs -9.3 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. A 1.8 kcal/mol difference in binding is substantial and can often compensate for moderate ADME liabilities, especially if formulation strategies can address the solubility issues.

**DILI:** Ligand B (33.5) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (85.1). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (72.9) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand A (21.2), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS involvement is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.094) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.994).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.684) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-2.032).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.147, B: 0.228), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (6.681) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (59.627), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (12.984) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (36.968), further supporting its better metabolic stability.

14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.583) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.075). This is a positive for Ligand A.
15. **Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (A: -9.4 kcal/mol, B: -9.1 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and Pgp efflux, its significantly higher DILI and hERG risk are major concerns. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, hERG) and slightly better logP and QED. The Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the safety profile outweighs the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A.

The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is also preferable, even if it's on the low side. The binding affinity is comparable for both. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.391 and 351.403 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (115.46) is slightly above the preferred <140 for oral absorption, while Ligand B (101.74) is well within.
**logP:** Both ligands (0.92 and 1.015) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.814) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.666), indicating higher drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (37.185) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (56.068), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (72.237 and 73.362), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a strange scale and hard to interpret without knowing the scale's range.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again unusual and difficult to interpret.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.058) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.126), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (98.194) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (39.245), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-46.254) has a very negative half-life, which is concerning and indicates rapid degradation. Ligand A (-16.064) is better, but still negative.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.058).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.7), but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and lower DILI, its significantly higher microsomal clearance and very negative in vitro half-life are major concerns. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, less negative t1/2) and a higher QED score, making it more likely to be a viable drug candidate. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the metabolic stability advantage of A is more critical for an enzyme target.

**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and half-life, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better safety profiles (lower DILI and hERG) and better metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability are poor for both, but Ligand A is slightly better. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower hERG and DILI risks of Ligand A are crucial. The affinity difference of 1.5 kcal/mol is significant, but the safety concerns with Ligand B are substantial.

**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.231) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.656), which is a significant advantage.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.77) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.302), indicating better metabolic stability.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has a low P-gp efflux liability (0.259), while Ligand B has very low efflux (0.086).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a better binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, but suffers from a high DILI risk, poor Caco-2 permeability, and moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much better DILI profile, QED, and P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is essentially non-existent, and it has a very poor in vitro half-life.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, binding affinity is crucial. However, the extremely poor affinity of Ligand B and its very short half-life are dealbreakers. While Ligand A's DILI risk is concerning, it's potentially addressable through structural modifications. The strong binding affinity of Ligand A makes it a better starting point for optimization, even with the DILI concern.

Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor. While the DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The solubility issue is also addressable. The significantly better affinity of Ligand A (-8.3 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage, and therefore outweighs the other concerns.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.56) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (78.43) is still within a reasonable range, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.103) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (2.08) is within the optimal range (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) and Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=4) both have reasonable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, falling within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (A: 0.753, B: 0.694), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands show low DILI risk (A: 45.25, B: 39.434), which is positive.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (A: 55.021, B: 49.748). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.667) shows poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.381) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (A: -4.724, B: -3.338). This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.849) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.254), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (102.452) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.479), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (23.287 hours) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (12.74 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux (A: 0.418, B: 0.048), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (A: -9.2 kcal/mol, B: -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A is 1 kcal/mol better, which is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity (-9.2 kcal/mol vs -8.2 kcal/mol), its significantly higher microsomal clearance (102.452 vs 26.479) and poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.667 vs -5.381) are major drawbacks. The lower metabolic stability and absorption will likely translate to poor *in vivo* exposure. Ligand B, while having slightly lower affinity, exhibits better metabolic stability and marginally better permeability, and a much lower hERG risk. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and solubility are crucial. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (354.491) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (98.66) is better than B (62.73). While both are reasonably low, B is significantly lower, which could be beneficial for cell permeability.
3. **logP:** A (1.488) is optimal. B (4.854) is high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target interactions.
4. **HBD:** A (4) is acceptable. B (2) is also good.
5. **HBA:** A (4) is acceptable. B (7) is also acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.581, B: 0.619), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (15.045) is *much* better than B (74.176). This is a major red flag for B.
8. **BBB:** A (20.512) is low, not a concern for a non-CNS target. B (76.541) is high, suggesting potential CNS penetration, which isn't a priority for SRC.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, which is unusual and indicates poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.099) is very low risk. B (0.662) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (4.172) is much better (lower) than B (84.249), indicating better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (-3.77) is poor, while B (51.352) is excellent. This is a significant advantage for B.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.014) is very low, suggesting minimal efflux. B (0.457) is higher, indicating some efflux potential.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** B has a slightly better affinity, but the difference is small.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is significantly better (lower Cl_mic). B has a very long half-life, which is a major plus.
* **Solubility:** Both are poor.
* **hERG:** A is much better.
* **DILI:** A is *vastly* superior.
**Conclusion:**
Despite B having a slightly better affinity and a very long half-life, the significantly higher DILI risk and poor metabolic stability make it a less desirable candidate. A's lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability, and acceptable hERG risk outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (335.386 and 344.459 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.67) is significantly better than Ligand B (86.88). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are within this range, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.569 and 2.57), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=3) in terms of maintaining a balance between solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.606) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.385), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (35.673) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (65.568). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand A (76.696) is better than Ligand B (53.432). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.282 and -5.315), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are difficult to interpret without knowing the original units.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.559 and -2.672), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.92) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.336), meaning Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (16.058) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (49.906), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (31.559) has a positive half-life, while Ligand B (-12.646) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.821) has slightly lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.105), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, better QED, and better P-gp efflux. However, it has a higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and significantly higher microsomal clearance. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is weaker and its in vitro half-life is nonsensical.
Given the importance of potency and metabolic stability for enzyme inhibitors, and the significant affinity advantage of Ligand A, I would cautiously favor Ligand A. The poor solubility and DILI risk would need to be addressed through further optimization, but the strong binding is a critical starting point. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a showstopper.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (74.25) is higher than Ligand B (59.07). Both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.782) is within the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (4.64) is slightly above. This could potentially lead to solubility issues for Ligand B, but isn't a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.683, B: 0.739), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.952) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (69.833). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (A: 65.607, B: 63.125). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual. Assuming these are logP values, they are very poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values which is unusual.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (A: 0.634, B: 0.689).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.834) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (56.329), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (106.612 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (22.627 hours). This is a major advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.261, B: 0.172).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a 1.2 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity. However, Ligand A demonstrates a superior safety profile (lower DILI), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and acceptable permeability and solubility. The difference in binding affinity is significant, but the improved ADME properties of Ligand A, especially the lower DILI and better metabolic stability, make it the more promising candidate.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.943) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.266). This is a potential concern for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (52.967) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.568), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-21.104) has a much shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-2.935). This reinforces the concern about metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.172 and 0.083).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference and a key factor favoring Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and lower hERG risk. The stronger binding affinity of Ligand B likely outweighs the slightly lower solubility. The metabolic stability is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.455 and 371.434 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (55.84) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (96.53) is still acceptable, but approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.684) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.974) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (3 HBD, 5 HBA) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, within the suggested limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.561 and 0.733), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.114) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (68.205), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.466) is higher than Ligand B (48.275).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.468) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.525) is also poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.252) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.34).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.894) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.453), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (68.215) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-20.862). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.144) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand B (25.804) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.557 and 0.048), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-9.0 and -8.8 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal and doesn't strongly favor either.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a better DILI score and slightly better solubility, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive t1/2), which is crucial for kinase inhibitors. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the superior metabolic profile and reasonable half-life outweigh this drawback. The poor Caco-2 permeability of both is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.09) is slightly higher than Ligand B (51.39). Both are acceptable, but B is better for permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.809 and 3.857, respectively), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to off-target effects, but is still within acceptable limits.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limits of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.709 and 0.782), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 72.78, which is concerning (high risk >60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 21.442, which is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (80.264) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (58.821), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.091 and -5.078). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a logarithmic scale and close to zero, so the actual permeability might not be drastically low.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.942 and -3.654). Again, these are on a logarithmic scale, and the actual solubility might not be extremely poor, but it's not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a hERG risk of 0.676, which is acceptable. Ligand B has a slightly higher hERG risk of 0.794, but still within a reasonable range.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 42.329, while Ligand B has a Cl_mic of 64.083. Lower is better, so Ligand A has better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 21.33 hours, while Ligand B has a t1/2 of 12.912 hours. Ligand A has a longer half-life, which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.208 and 0.438).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (-11.0 kcal/mol). This difference of 3.1 kcal/mol is substantial and outweighs many of the other drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better metabolic stability and half-life, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -11.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, which is critical for drug development. While both have poor Caco-2 and solubility values, the superior potency and safety profile of Ligand B make it the better choice.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (396.843) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.459), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand B (74.43) is lower than Ligand A (89.87), which is slightly preferable.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand A (1.357) and Ligand B (2.107) are both good.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B (0.793) is slightly better than Ligand A (0.649).
**DILI:** Ligand B (25.669) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (45.483). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration. Ligand B (70.803) is slightly better than Ligand A (64.482), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.31 and 0.393 respectively), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (38.189) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (6.467), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.978) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (3.945) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.065 and 0.037 respectively), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). However, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh the other factors.
**Overall:**
Ligand B appears initially more promising due to its lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, the negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. A negative half-life is not physically possible and suggests an error in the data or a highly unstable compound. Ligand A has a reasonable half-life and slightly better binding affinity. While its DILI risk is higher, and its metabolic stability is lower, these are areas that could potentially be addressed through further optimization. Given the impossible value for Ligand B, Ligand A is the more viable candidate.

1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (340.427) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (67.35) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold. B (113.18) is higher, but still acceptable, though less ideal for oral absorption.
3. **logP:** A (2.667) is optimal. B (0.932) is a bit low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is good. B (3) is acceptable, but higher HBD can sometimes impact permeability.

6. **QED:** A (0.878) is very good, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.598) is acceptable, but lower.
7. **DILI:** Both are reasonably low. A (39.667) is slightly better than B (45.25).
8. **BBB:** A (83.831) is good, suggesting reasonable potential for crossing the blood-brain barrier, though not crucial for SRC. B (50.058) is lower.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.213) is poor, indicating very low permeability. B (-5.28) is also poor, but slightly worse.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.891) is poor. B (-2.19) is also poor, but slightly better.
11. **hERG:** Both are very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk. A (0.306) is slightly better than B (0.263).
12. **Cl_mic:** A (73.579) is moderate. B (12.225) is excellent, indicating much better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for B.
13. **t1/2:** A (-20.249) is poor, indicating rapid clearance. B (-41.522) is even worse.
14. **Pgp:** Both are very low, indicating minimal P-gp efflux. A (0.026) is slightly better than B (0.04).
15. **Affinity:** A (-8.8) is significantly better than B (-6.8), representing a substantial advantage in binding potency (a difference of 2 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic).
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but B is slightly better.
* **hERG:** Both are good.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a clear advantage in metabolic stability, the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -6.8 kcal/mol) for Ligand A is a major factor. A 2 kcal/mol difference is often enough to overcome minor ADME deficiencies, especially for an enzyme target where potency is paramount. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both compounds are concerning, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.
Therefore, despite the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand B, the superior binding affinity of Ligand A makes it the more promising drug candidate.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.285 and 0.272).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.442) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.194). This indicates better metabolic stability, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (36.507) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-12.943), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.023 and 0.111).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.8 and -7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the better candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better Caco-2 permeability and BBB penetration (which are less important here), Ligand A demonstrates significantly lower DILI risk and *much* better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). The similar binding affinities make the ADME advantages of Ligand A decisive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the enzyme-class guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.371 Da) is slightly lower, which can be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (354.407 Da) is also acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.45) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (127.93) is still reasonable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.455) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-1.357) is significantly lower, potentially hindering permeation and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 8 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (4 HBD, 7 HBA) is acceptable, but the higher number of HBDs could slightly impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (A: 0.538, B: 0.431), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (76.037) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (26.406), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (43.699) and B (23.071) are both low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.42 and -5.859), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.085 and -0.23), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a major issue for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.816) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.022). B is very favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.155 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (-15.619 mL/min/kg - note the negative value suggests very high stability). This means Ligand B is likely more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-30.753 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error. Ligand B (10.381 hours) is reasonable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.109, B: 0.004), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the primary driver for enzyme inhibitors. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and a questionable half-life value. Its solubility and permeability are also very poor. Ligand B has a lower affinity but exhibits much better metabolic stability, a significantly lower DILI risk, and a much lower hERG risk. While its logP is suboptimal, the substantial difference in binding affinity between A and B is a major consideration. Given the poor ADME profile of both, and the critical importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, I would lean towards Ligand A *if* the half-life data can be corrected or explained. However, the high DILI risk is a major concern.
Considering the totality of the data, and prioritizing safety and reasonable ADME properties, Ligand B is the more viable candidate, despite the lower binding affinity. The lower DILI and hERG risks, coupled with better metabolic stability, make it a more promising starting point for optimization.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.43 and 351.44 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.57) is better than Ligand B (38.13), being below 140 and suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.39 and 3.92, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which *could* pose a minor solubility risk, but is still within acceptable limits.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within the recommended limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both have reasonable QED scores (0.877 and 0.729), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.66%) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.29%). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (59.40%) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (95.19%). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but still favors Ligand B.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.215) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.38). Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.865) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.072). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.276) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.796), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.874) has *much* better microsomal clearance (lower clearance = better stability) than Ligand B (71.018). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (43.834 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (2.502 hours). This is a substantial benefit for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.108) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.687), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 0.8 kcal/mol difference is not huge.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), P-gp efflux, and binding affinity. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and lower solubility. Ligand B has better solubility, lower DILI, and better Caco-2 permeability, but suffers from poor metabolic stability and a shorter half-life.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability and a reasonable half-life are paramount. The substantial advantage of Ligand A in these areas, coupled with its slightly better binding affinity, outweighs its higher DILI risk and lower solubility, especially since the DILI risk is still below 60%. The solubility issue can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

8. **BBB:** Ligand A (58.899) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (74.292). Not a primary concern for SRC kinase, but a slight advantage for B.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This needs further investigation, but we'll assume it means very low permeability for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This needs further investigation, but we'll assume it means very low solubility for both.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.534) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.78).
12. **Cl_mic:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (A: 55.273, B: 55.302).

15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Decision:**
Despite the slightly better affinity and longer half-life of Ligand A, the significantly higher DILI risk is a major red flag. The higher logP also raises concerns. Ligand B, while having a slightly lower affinity and shorter half-life, has a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI) and better logP. The similar metabolic clearance is acceptable. While both have poor predicted permeability and solubility, the lower DILI risk of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate.

Despite Ligand B's superior ADME properties (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2, lower Pgp efflux, lower hERG), the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-10.0 vs -8.9 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor for an enzyme target. The potency advantage outweighs the ADME drawbacks, especially considering that both compounds have acceptable (though not ideal) ADME profiles. The slightly better DILI score for Ligand A is also a minor positive.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.751 and 0.866), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (44.591 and 49.399 percentiles), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (76.309 and 78.907 percentiles). BBB isn't a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.791 and -4.83), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 1.2 kcal/mol difference is meaningful.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having issues with Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and slightly better binding affinity outweigh the marginally higher hERG risk. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation strategies, but the improved PK profile of Ligand B makes it a better starting point for optimization.

**Comparison & Conclusion:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.3 kcal/mol vs. 0.0 kcal/mol for Ligand B). While Ligand A's QED is slightly below the ideal, its DILI risk is low, and its hERG risk is minimal. The biggest drawbacks for Ligand A are the poor Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility. However, these can sometimes be addressed with formulation strategies. Ligand B has multiple serious issues: high MW, high logP, very poor solubility and permeability, high DILI risk, weak binding affinity, and higher Pgp efflux. The long half-life of Ligand B is not enough to compensate for its other deficiencies.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is the deciding factor. Even with the permeability and solubility concerns, it is a far more promising starting point for optimization than Ligand B.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (56.79) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (117.62) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.854) is at the higher end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (0.752) is below 1, which could hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.846) has a very good drug-likeness score. Ligand B (0.653) is still reasonable, but lower.
**DILI:** Ligand A (78.945) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (70.88), but both are still below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (79.062) is higher than Ligand B (20.783).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.259) has poor Caco-2 permeability, a significant drawback. Ligand B (-5.256) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.766) has very poor solubility, a major concern. Ligand B (-2.604) has better solubility, though still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.809) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.063), which is very favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (88.964) has high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-3.554) has negative clearance, which is excellent, suggesting very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.015) has a short half-life. Ligand B (-18.327) has a very long half-life, a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.504) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.033) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, but suffers from poor solubility, poor permeability, and high metabolic clearance. These ADME properties are critical concerns for an enzyme inhibitor. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, exhibits much better ADME properties: excellent metabolic stability (negative clearance, long half-life), low P-gp efflux, and better solubility. The improved ADME profile of Ligand B, combined with a still-respectable binding affinity, makes it a more promising drug candidate. The difference in affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B.

**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both, Ligand B is the better candidate. Its dramatically superior binding affinity (-8.0 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and lower logP. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer half-life are also critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower hERG risk of Ligand A is a positive, but the lack of binding affinity is a deal-breaker. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications, but a strong starting point with high affinity is essential.

**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (77.976) is higher than Ligand A (67.158). However, BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.59) has a negative value, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.196) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.93) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-4.235) is even worse. This is a concern for both, but more so for B.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.118) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.834) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.46 mL/min/kg) has a lower clearance than Ligand B (94.637 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.105 hours) has a very short half-life, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (11.697 hours) has a much more reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.014) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.381) has a moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This difference of 2.5 kcal/mol is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, a better half-life, and acceptable BBB penetration. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, worse solubility, and higher metabolic clearance. Ligand A has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG) and lower efflux, but its poor solubility, permeability, and short half-life are major concerns.
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the combination of poor solubility, high DILI risk, and high clearance makes it a less attractive candidate. The short half-life of Ligand A is a significant issue, but could potentially be addressed through prodrug strategies or structural modifications. The lower DILI and hERG risks of Ligand A are very valuable.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.34) is significantly better than Ligand B (74.33). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.582) is slightly higher than Ligand B (1.818), both within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is closer to the lower bound, which *could* indicate permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA). Lower counts are generally preferable for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.796 and 0.754), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.3) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.011). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (88.639) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (76.658). While not critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a slight positive.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.508) has a slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.762).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.946) has a slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.149).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.955) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.653), indicating a lower risk of cardiotoxicity. This is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (70.644) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.564), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (17.469) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-22.15). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.276) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.074).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-7.6 and -7.0 kcal/mol). The difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in properties related to safety (DILI, hERG) and permeability (TPSA, Caco-2, solubility). However, it suffers from higher metabolic clearance and a shorter half-life. Ligand B has a better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), but has higher DILI and hERG risk. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinases, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, Ligand B is slightly favored. However, the DILI and hERG risks for Ligand B are concerning. The better safety profile of Ligand A is very attractive, and could be optimized with structural modifications.

Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a significantly lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and a more favorable TPSA. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and QED, the ADME properties of Ligand A are considerably better, making it a more viable drug candidate. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the other advantages of A outweigh this.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (348.443 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential. Ligand A (67.87) is higher than Ligand B (58.64), but both are good.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand A (0.949) is slightly lower, potentially impacting permeability, while Ligand B (1.705) is better positioned.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (4/5) counts, balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (>0.5), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B (0.774) is slightly better than Ligand A (0.549).
**DILI:** Ligand B (37.069) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (9.965), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (81.349) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (55.021), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.253 and 0.388), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (33.397) has slightly better microsomal clearance than Ligand A (28.339), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-3.687) has a slightly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-5.451), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.059 and 0.074), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial, and here it's a massive 8.5 kcal/mol difference.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is clearly superior. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, the dramatically improved binding affinity of Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs these concerns. The lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) further solidify its advantage. The slightly better logP and QED also contribute.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.74) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.538), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.983) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (10.198). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration, but Ligand B (93.757) is better than Ligand A (81.737). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the absolute values are similar (-4.63 and -4.883).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the values are similar (-3.128 and -3.95).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.28) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.689), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (78.968) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (54.556), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-3.649) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.933), which is a significant advantage.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (24.188) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (73.773), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (14.903 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-10.083 hours). This is a significant advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.051 and 0.036).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate. While both ligands have good overall properties, Ligand B demonstrates superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer in vitro half-life. These are critical factors for enzyme inhibitors, as they directly impact drug exposure and dosing frequency. The slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability also contribute to its advantage. The difference in binding affinity is minimal and doesn't outweigh the ADME benefits of Ligand B.

**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (75.611) is higher than Ligand A (23.265), but this isn't a primary factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation. However, the magnitude is similar and doesn't strongly differentiate them.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual and requiring further investigation. Again, the values are similar.
**hERG:** Ligand A has a slightly higher hERG risk (0.13) than Ligand B (0.578), though both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a negative Cl_mic (-2.971), indicating very high metabolic stability (a good sign). Ligand B has a positive Cl_mic (23.321), suggesting faster metabolism. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a short half-life (6.677 hours), while Ligand B has a very long half-life (-26.63 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is suspect and likely an error, but even if it were a large positive value, the short half-life of Ligand A is a concern.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A shows some P-gp efflux (0.069), while Ligand B has negligible efflux (0.096).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-9 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-0 kcal/mol). This is a huge advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While Ligand A has excellent metabolic stability, its very low logP, high DILI risk, and significantly weaker binding affinity are major drawbacks. Ligand B's superior binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and more favorable logP make it a much more promising starting point, despite the potentially higher metabolic clearance. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the binding affinity difference is substantial.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands have excellent binding affinities, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, both suffer from extremely poor Caco-2 permeability and aqueous solubility. Ligand A has a higher Cl_mic, indicating faster metabolism, while Ligand B has a nonsensical negative half-life. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and lower Pgp efflux, the negative half-life is a critical data quality issue.
Given the severe permeability and solubility issues of both, neither is a particularly promising candidate *as is*. However, the negative half-life for Ligand B is a clear indication of data problems, making it less reliable. Ligand A, despite its higher Cl_mic, has a plausible half-life and better overall ADME properties *excluding* the solubility and permeability. Therefore, Ligand A is marginally more likely to be a viable starting point for optimization, focusing on improving solubility and permeability.

**BBB:** Ligand A (61.846) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (46.879), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.268 and -5.246), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.876 and -1.853), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.217) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.338), which is a significant safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-31.948) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (-6.128). This indicates significantly improved metabolic stability for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.058) has a more negative value, which translates to a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (24.851).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.005) exhibits very low P-gp efflux, which is better than Ligand B (0.012).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both ligands have significant ADME issues (poor solubility and permeability), Ligand B stands out due to its dramatically superior binding affinity (-8.0 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) and significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life). The stronger binding affinity is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the improved metabolic stability is essential for achieving therapeutic concentrations *in vivo*.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.551 and -4.732). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the experimental setup or a very poor permeability. However, given the other parameters, we'll proceed with caution and assume these values are not entirely reliable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.512 and -2.467), which is also concerning. Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.755) shows slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.482), but both are relatively low.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, though slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.756 and 0.871), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (23.653) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (51.028), a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration, but Ligand A (95.618) is better than Ligand B (88.445). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a positive attribute.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.369) has a very low hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.61) is slightly higher but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (53.551) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (63.28), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.33) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (11.466) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.523) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.039), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-0.0) has significantly weaker binding affinity compared to Ligand B (-9.5). This is the most critical difference. A 9.5 kcal/mol advantage is substantial and likely outweighs many of the other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B's substantially superior binding affinity (-9.5 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The improved half-life and lower P-gp efflux are also beneficial. While Ligand A has a better DILI score and hERG profile, potency is paramount for kinase inhibitors. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation strategies, but the strong binding affinity of Ligand B provides a much better starting point for optimization. The negative half-life for Ligand A is also a data quality issue.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.846) has a negative half-life, which is not realistic. Ligand B (2.517) has a very short half-life, which is undesirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.091) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.422), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0). This is a crucial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and a very low hERG risk. However, it suffers from poor logP, poor solubility, and a higher DILI risk. Ligand B has a better logP and lower DILI, but its binding affinity is very weak, and it has poor metabolic stability.

However, Ligand A has a better logP, QED, and a slightly better binding affinity. The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the significantly lower logP is a major concern for oral bioavailability. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both compounds are significant hurdles, but the better overall profile of Ligand A, particularly its logP and QED, makes it the more promising candidate. Formulation strategies could potentially address the solubility and permeability issues, but starting with a molecule possessing better inherent properties is preferable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, considering the provided guidelines and priorities for enzymes.
**1. Molecular Weight (MW):** Both ligands (362.459 Da and 350.459 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (103.91) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (81.08) is well within the acceptable range.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (0.488) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.092) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands are within the acceptable limit of <=5 (Ligand A: 1, Ligand B: 2).
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Both ligands are within the acceptable limit of <=10 (Ligand A: 7, Ligand B: 4).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.739, B: 0.703), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (51.028) has a moderately elevated DILI risk, but still acceptable. Ligand B (13.339) has a much lower, and preferable, DILI risk.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (49.787) and Ligand B (60.876) are both relatively low.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not clearly defined, so it's difficult to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is also unusual. Again, the scale is unclear.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.099, B: 0.279).
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (10.983) has lower clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (15.938) has higher clearance.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.164) has a longer half-life, which is desirable. Ligand B (-11.504) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests a problem with the data.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.068, B: 0.135).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage, which is highly significant.
**Enzyme-Specific Considerations:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B demonstrates a substantially stronger binding affinity. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, the negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag, suggesting a data error. However, even with the questionable half-life, the significantly improved binding affinity of Ligand B outweighs the other factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.435 and 359.535 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (99.35) is higher than Ligand B (29.54). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is significantly better, potentially indicating improved cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.145) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. Ligand B (4.808) is high, bordering on problematic, potentially leading to off-target effects or solubility issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, which are acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.702) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.593), suggesting a more drug-like profile overall.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.77) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (33.695), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (76.037) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (48.003).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.179 and -5.159). This is unusual and requires further investigation, but doesn't immediately disqualify either.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.949 and -5.158). This is also concerning. Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.212) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.552) is higher, indicating a greater potential for cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.706) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (129.433). This suggests significantly improved metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.3) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (6.619), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.012) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.609) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's primary strength is its significantly higher binding affinity. However, it suffers from a high logP, moderate P-gp efflux, and very high microsomal clearance. Ligand A has a better overall ADME profile (lower clearance, better solubility, lower hERG, lower P-gp efflux, better QED), but its binding affinity is very weak.
Given that we're targeting a kinase (enzyme), potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The 1.7 kcal/mol advantage of Ligand B is substantial enough to potentially overcome its ADME liabilities, *provided* those liabilities can be addressed through further optimization. The poor metabolic stability of Ligand B is a major concern, but could be tackled with structural modifications. The solubility issues of both compounds would also need to be addressed.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (347.39 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability. Ligand B (370.837 Da) is also acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (56.59) is significantly better than Ligand B (113.44). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability. Ligand B is above the preferred threshold of 140, which could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (Ligand A: 1.882, Ligand B: 1.354), falling within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 6 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (3 HBD, 6 HBA). Lower HBD counts generally improve permeability. Both have acceptable HBA counts.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.747) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.536), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (38.387) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (50.485), which is a significant advantage. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (88.29) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (52.074), but this isn't a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.411) has a higher Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.431).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.79) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.449). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.875, Ligand B: 0.182), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (98.113) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.295), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-14.556) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (8.202), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.286, Ligand B: 0.035).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar, strong binding affinities (Ligand A: -8.0 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better QED, solubility, and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The primary reason is Ligand B's significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life). This is crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, as a longer half-life translates to less frequent dosing. While Ligand A has a slightly better TPSA, the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand B outweighs this. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the deciding factor.

**Overall Assessment:**
For an enzyme target like SRC, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), and solubility are key. Ligand A has a *much* stronger binding affinity (-8.3 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), which is a huge advantage. However, it suffers from poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short t1/2) and poor solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability, solubility, and lower DILI risk, but its binding affinity is essentially non-existent.
Despite the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A, the substantial difference in binding affinity is likely to outweigh these concerns *as a starting point for optimization*. It's easier to improve ADME properties than to dramatically increase binding affinity. Ligand B, with its very weak binding, is unlikely to be a viable starting point even with extensive optimization.

Ligand B has a clear advantage in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and DILI risk. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity, the improved ADME profile of Ligand B, particularly the lower DILI and better metabolic stability, makes it a more promising drug candidate.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has a much better affinity and Cl_mic. Ligand B has a better half-life. Both have poor solubility and concerning DILI risk.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the longer half-life of Ligand B, the significantly superior binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand A, coupled with its better TPSA, QED, BBB and Pgp properties, make it the more promising candidate. The poor solubility and DILI risk are concerns that would need to be addressed through structural modifications, but the strong affinity provides a solid starting point.

12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (30.162) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (51.452). This indicates better metabolic stability for B, which is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (-19.979) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-10.498). This is a significant advantage for B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
14. **Pgp:** Both have very low Pgp efflux (A: 0.394, B: 0.088). This is good.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a *major* advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and better TPSA, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.1 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), lower Cl_mic, and longer t1/2 outweigh the advantages of Ligand A. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The substantial binding affinity difference makes Ligand B the more promising candidate.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, below the thresholds of 5 and 10 respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.712 and 0.853), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (10.857) has a very low DILI risk, significantly better than Ligand B (58.627).
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (60.838) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (45.366), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.261 and -5.033), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.104 and -2.689), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.061 and 0.078), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.917) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.401), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar, short in vitro half-lives (1.527 and 1.624 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.007 and 0.047).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2), but the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable due to its significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While both have poor solubility and permeability, the lower DILI and better metabolic stability are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The slight advantage in binding affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to outweigh these ADME concerns.

However, it suffers from very poor solubility, poor Caco-2 permeability, higher DILI risk, and faster metabolic clearance. Ligand B has better solubility, permeability, metabolic stability, and lower DILI risk, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Despite the superior potency of Ligand A, the poor ADME properties are major liabilities. The significantly better metabolic stability of Ligand B, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) solubility and permeability, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization. The potency gap could potentially be closed through medicinal chemistry efforts, while addressing the poor ADME properties of Ligand A would be a much more substantial undertaking.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 5 HBA, acceptable values. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 6 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.444) is below the desirable 0.5 threshold, suggesting a less drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.632) is above 0.5, indicating better drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (2.792) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (37.65) is higher, but still below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. This suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests very poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.252) has a very low hERG risk, a major advantage. Ligand B (0.165) also has a low hERG risk, but slightly higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-21.6) has a very low (negative) clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (60.791) has a much higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.72) has a negative half-life, which is not physically meaningful. Ligand B (0.867) has a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior safety profile (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic). However, its low logP and QED are concerning, and its solubility is very poor. Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, a good logP, and acceptable DILI and hERG risks. However, its metabolic clearance is high, and its half-life is short. The solubility is also very poor.
Given the priority for potency in enzyme inhibition, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol vs -7.3 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. While the higher clearance of Ligand B is a concern, it could potentially be addressed through structural modifications during lead optimization. The poor solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed regardless of which is chosen.

While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and a better QED score, its significantly higher DILI risk and poorer solubility are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite having a lower QED and higher clearance, presents a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI) and better solubility. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, a lower DILI risk is critical. The binding affinity is the same for both, so the ADME/Tox profile becomes the deciding factor.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.152) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.58), a crucial advantage regarding cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (48.184) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.615), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.118) has a much shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (24.399). This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.055) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.168), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is the most important factor, and the >1.5 kcal/mol advantage of A outweighs many of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall:** Despite the metabolic stability and half-life concerns with Ligand A, its significantly superior binding affinity and much better safety profile (DILI, hERG) make it the more promising candidate. The strong binding is likely to compensate for potential formulation challenges related to clearance and half-life. Ligand B's high DILI and hERG risk are major red flags.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (101.446 and 102.322), indicating relatively rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (67.32) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (46.66), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.158) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.608), which is a positive attribute.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of 8.6 kcal/mol is substantial and likely outweighs many of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better QED, half-life, and P-gp efflux, Ligand B's dramatically superior binding affinity (-8.6 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. While both compounds have significant ADME liabilities (poor solubility and permeability, moderate DILI), the potency advantage of Ligand B is substantial enough to warrant further optimization efforts. The poor ADME properties can be addressed through medicinal chemistry strategies, but a weak binder is much harder to improve.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (348.4) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (95.22) is higher than ideal (<140), but still acceptable. B (56.79) is excellent, well below the threshold. This favors B.
3. **logP:** A (0.085) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. B (3.635) is optimal. This is a significant advantage for B.
4. **HBD:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** A has 7 HBA, acceptable. B has 5 HBA, also good.
6. **QED:** A (0.778) is better than B (0.693), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** Both are acceptable, with A (56.8) and B (53.7) both under the 60% threshold.
8. **BBB:** A (63.1) is lower than B (79.7). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical, but B is still better.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative values, indicating poor permeability. A (-4.9) is worse than B (-4.6).
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. A (-1.9) is worse than B (-4.4).
11. **hERG:** Both are very low, indicating minimal hERG inhibition risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (45.2) is better (lower) than B (75.0), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for A.
13. **t1/2:** A (0.88) is much lower than B (8.56), indicating faster clearance and potentially requiring more frequent dosing. This is a significant advantage for B.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.113) is better (lower) than B (0.671), indicating less P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-7.6) is slightly better than B (-7.0), a 0.6 kcal/mol difference. This is a meaningful difference, and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
* **Affinity:** A has a slightly better affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A has a better Cl_mic, but a significantly worse t1/2.
* **Solubility:** B is better.
* **hERG:** Both are good.
* **Permeability:** Both are poor, but A is worse.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and better metabolic clearance, the significantly longer half-life of Ligand B, coupled with its better logP, TPSA, and solubility, makes it the more promising candidate. The difference in affinity is not large enough to overcome the substantial ADME advantages of Ligand B. The poor permeability of both is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.2) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a crucial factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior profile in most ADME properties (QED, TPSA, solubility, Caco-2, BBB) and a slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given that we are targeting a kinase (an enzyme), metabolic stability is paramount. While the affinity difference is notable, a 7.2 kcal/mol binding affinity is already excellent, and the improved metabolic profile of Ligand B is likely to translate to better *in vivo* efficacy.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 1 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 3 HBA) both have acceptable counts, well below the thresholds of 5 and 10 respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.662 and 0.751), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (32.571) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (24.738), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (83.56) is better than Ligand B (76.076). This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.236) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, indicating poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.667) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.546) has very poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.159) is better, though still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.948) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.216), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.21) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.368), indicating significantly improved metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.351) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (4.565), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.648) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.078), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of >9 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has some advantages in terms of hERG, metabolic stability, half-life, and P-gp efflux, its extremely poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. Ligand B's significantly superior binding affinity (-9.3 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs its slightly higher logP, DILI, and P-gp efflux. The binding affinity difference is so large that it's likely to overcome the other ADME liabilities, especially if formulation strategies can be employed to improve solubility.

**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (69.407 and 65.878), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.977 and -4.823). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.6 and -1.356). Again, the scale is not specified, but negative values suggest poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.615) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.489), which is preferable. Both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.977) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.631), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.075 and 0.08).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol difference that can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is clearly superior. It has a better QED score, lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and, most importantly, a much stronger binding affinity.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.5 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. It has a better binding affinity, excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic), a good half-life, and a slightly better DILI score. While both have poor solubility, the strong binding affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand B make it more likely to succeed, even with formulation challenges. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a clear red flag, likely a data error, and further disqualifies it.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.065) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.131), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-24.681) has significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand A (11.32). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.276) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (0.864).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.004).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.7 vs -8.2 kcal/mol) and substantially improved metabolic stability (Cl_mic = -24.681 vs 11.32) are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk is also a significant benefit. While Ligand A has a slightly better hERG profile and half-life, these are less important than affinity and metabolic stability in this context.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (383.832 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (360.451 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.32) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (119.33) is also below, but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.718) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.884) is significantly below, which could hinder permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=5) is good. Ligand B (HBD=4, HBA=6) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.625 and 0.468) indicating reasonable drug-likeness, but Ligand A is better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (93.757) has a high DILI risk, which is a major concern. Ligand B (11.128) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (77.123) is moderate, while Ligand B (38.581) is low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.379) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.087) is also poor. Both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.178) is poor, while Ligand B (-0.68) is also poor, but better than Ligand A.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.44) is low risk, which is good. Ligand B (0.17) is even lower, and therefore better.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (81.837) is relatively high, suggesting faster metabolism. Ligand B (-1.56) is very low, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (74.999) is good, while Ligand B (-18.784) is very poor.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.583) is moderate. Ligand B (0.014) is very low, suggesting minimal efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, but suffers from high DILI risk, poor solubility, and moderate metabolic clearance. Ligand B has excellent metabolic stability (very low Cl_mic), low DILI risk, and low P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is weaker and logP is concerningly low.
Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While the affinity of Ligand A is very attractive, the high DILI risk is a major red flag. The significantly better ADMET profile of Ligand B, particularly the low DILI and excellent metabolic stability, makes it the more promising candidate, despite the weaker binding. Further optimization of Ligand B to improve its affinity and logP would be a reasonable next step.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.375 and 354.361 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (130.14) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (84.65) is excellent, well below 140, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.457) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.056) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.722 and 0.763), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (58.434 and 61.225), both are acceptable, below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (61.535) has a moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (93.137) has high BBB penetration. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but could be relevant if off-target effects in the CNS are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.532) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (-4.647) is better, but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.99 and -3.295). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.186) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.31) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.713) has a lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. Ligand B (48.168) has significantly higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-46.246) has a very long in vitro half-life, which is highly desirable. Ligand B (14.032) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.004 and 0.031), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol) has a better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol). The difference is 2 kcal/mol, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower hERG risk, its poor Caco-2 permeability and low logP are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite having higher clearance and a slightly higher hERG risk, has a significantly better binding affinity and a more favorable logP. The stronger binding affinity of Ligand B is likely to be more important for an enzyme inhibitor, and the difference in affinity is large enough to compensate for the slightly less favorable ADME properties.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.363 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (358.404 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (119.04) is better than Ligand B (42.43). Lower TPSA generally improves oral absorption. Ligand A is well below the 140 threshold, while Ligand B is significantly lower and thus preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.189) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. Ligand B (3.656) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 8 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.721 and 0.677), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 79.333, which is concerning (high risk). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 20.163, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (53.587) and Ligand B (96.161). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but higher is generally better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.54) is very poor, indicating poor intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-4.106) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.139) is poor. Ligand B (-3.775) is also poor. Solubility is a concern for both, but Ligand B is worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.029) has very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.636) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (42.385) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (67.514) has a higher clearance. Lower clearance is preferred for better metabolic stability, favoring Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.782) has a very short half-life, which is a major drawback. Ligand B (-6.615) has a better, but still short, half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.134) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.215) also has low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and lower clearance, but suffers from poor solubility, permeability, and a high DILI risk, and a very short half-life. Ligand B has better logP, TPSA, and a significantly lower DILI risk, but weaker binding affinity and a higher clearance.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a major advantage that could potentially outweigh its drawbacks with further optimization. However, the high DILI risk and poor half-life are significant concerns. The better ADME profile of Ligand B makes it a more immediately viable starting point for optimization, despite its weaker binding.

**DILI:** Ligand A (31.563) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (72.703), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (91.47) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (34.626), but it's not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.598) and Ligand B (-5.088) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a potential red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.462 and -2.263 respectively). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.367 and 0.221), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (22.188 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (5.878 mL/min/kg), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This favors Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (23.017 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-17.787 hours), a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.04 and 0.051), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol). This difference, while not huge, is enough to potentially overcome some of the ADME deficiencies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-26.248) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (20.108), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.072) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.304), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is potentially significant, but needs to be weighed against the ADME properties.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significant advantage in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A is likely outweighed by its superior ADME profile, particularly the lower DILI risk and improved metabolic stability. The poor solubility is a concern for both, but the other advantages of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.486 and 344.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is well below the 140 threshold and favorable for oral absorption. Ligand B (68.84) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.697) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (1.934) is slightly lower, potentially impacting permeability, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have a reasonable number of HBDs (0) and HBAs (3 for A, 6 for B), staying within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.547 and 0.77), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (23.187) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (34.238), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, Ligand A (95.347) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (70.686).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.802) shows better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.932).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.261) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-0.892). This is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.808) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.212), which is highly desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (62.852) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.063), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-5.985) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (3.261), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.552) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.173), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) exhibits a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a 1.5 kcal/mol difference, a significant advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand A demonstrates a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and improved solubility and permeability. The difference in binding affinity is significant, but the ADME/Tox profile of Ligand A is substantially more favorable. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, a slightly lower affinity can be tolerated if it translates to a safer and more bioavailable drug.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.482 and 348.443 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (52.65) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (78.87) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.964) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.849) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both have acceptable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.794) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.551), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (8.802) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (18.728), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (86.739) is higher than Ligand B (28.848), but this is not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.802) has a more negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and suggests *poor* permeability. Ligand B (-4.734) is similarly poor. This is concerning for both, but the difference is minimal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very negative solubility values (-2.523 and -1.705 respectively), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.686) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.098), which is a substantial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (23.923) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (2.18). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.403) has a very negative half-life, indicating very rapid metabolism. Ligand B (-1.53) is better, but still not ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.031 and 0.037), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a *much* stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and lower DILI/hERG risk. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and a very high microsomal clearance/short half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is extremely weak, and its DILI/hERG risk is higher.
Despite the ADME concerns with Ligand A, the substantially superior binding affinity is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. The poor ADME properties could potentially be addressed through further optimization, but a weak binder is unlikely to become a viable drug.

The lower DILI and better metabolic stability are more difficult to improve post-hoc. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (356.813 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (408.275 Da) is still well within the acceptable range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (68.92) is significantly better than Ligand B (85.83). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and both meet this, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.284, B: 2.393), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (HBD <=5, HBA <=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.783, B: 0.814), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a higher DILI risk (83.637) compared to Ligand B (55.138). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (79.217) is slightly higher than Ligand B (69.407). BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.438) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.296). Lower (more negative) values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.735) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.595). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.642) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.291), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (3.729) has significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand A (41.083). This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (13.55) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (25.217). This is also a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.222, B: 0.191).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference and a major factor in favor of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's slightly better TPSA and BBB, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better solubility outweigh the minor drawbacks in TPSA and BBB. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-7.6 vs -9.6 kcal/mol) is particularly compelling.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from significant drawbacks in DILI risk, solubility, Caco-2 permeability, and metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic). Ligand B is less potent but has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and slightly better metabolic stability.
Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the improved potency of Ligand A is a major advantage. While the ADME properties are suboptimal, they might be addressable through further optimization. The lower DILI and better metabolic stability of Ligand B are attractive, but the lower binding affinity is a substantial hurdle.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (97.712), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk (25.785), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (55.176) than Ligand A (22.218), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both show poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.864 and -5.6), indicating potential absorption issues.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have poor aqueous solubility (-4.834 and -2.718).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.163, B: 0.076).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has significantly better microsomal clearance (-16.288) than Ligand B (23.512), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer in vitro half-life (50.953 hours) than Ligand B (-2.797 hours), a substantial advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands exhibit low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.052, B: 0.06).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -9.8 kcal/mol, B: -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, with a 1.2 kcal/mol advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**

**logP:** Ligand A (3.222) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.335) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is preferable to Ligand B (3), as fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.76 and 0.72), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (31.64) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (44.513), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (88.29) is better than Ligand B (46.181).
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.224) is better than Ligand B (-5.069), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.323) is better than Ligand B (-2.898), which is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.784) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.21), which is a major safety concern.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (72.988) has a higher (worse) Cl_mic than Ligand B (-5.066). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-15.062) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-12.013). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.245) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.03), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-9.3 and -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. It excels in key ADME properties like TPSA, logP, DILI, solubility, and hERG risk.

While the affinity difference is notable, the better ADME profile of Ligand B, particularly its lower DILI and clearance, makes it the more promising candidate. The negative solubility and permeability values for both are red flags that would require addressing through formulation or structural modification, but B starts from a better position.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.387 and 356.511 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (84.94) is better than Ligand B (90.54), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the ideal for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.521) is slightly higher than optimal (1-3), but still acceptable. Ligand B (1.589) is on the lower side, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=6) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=3) as it strikes a better balance between solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (A: 0.449, B: 0.519), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (94.843) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (18.108). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (73.827) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (52.617), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.341) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.892), indicating potentially lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.062) has a worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.103), which could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG:** Both ligands have relatively low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.406, B: 0.634), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (92.16) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.123), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.315) has a negative half-life, which is very concerning. Ligand B (0.024) has a very short half-life, but is still better than a negative value.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.654, B: 0.013), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better TPSA and logP, it is significantly hampered by its high DILI risk, poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic), extremely short in vitro half-life, and weaker binding affinity. Ligand B, despite a slightly less optimal logP and TPSA, exhibits a much more favorable safety profile (low DILI), better metabolic stability, a longer half-life, and, crucially, a significantly stronger binding affinity. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to outweigh the minor ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.679) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.306), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (99.031) has a very high DILI risk, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (12.524) has a very low DILI risk, a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.9) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-5.657) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.305) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-0.413) is also poor, but slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.674) has a moderate hERG risk. Ligand B (0.174) has a very low hERG risk, a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.214) has moderate microsomal clearance. Ligand B (-5.505) has *negative* clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests exceptional metabolic stability. This is a major advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (84.703) has a good in vitro half-life. Ligand B (23.026) has a moderate in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.244) has low P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.009) has very low P-gp efflux, a slight advantage.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.774 and 0.852), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (30.593) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (27.608), but both are below the 40 threshold and considered good.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.26 and 77.433), but this is less crucial for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.462) has very poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.537) is better, but still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.131) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-4.389) is even worse. This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.058) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.831) has a higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (21.953) has much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (85.567), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 2 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) is also acceptable, but has more HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.668, B: 0.735), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (37.03) has a low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (15.006) also has a very low DILI risk.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (A: 54.983, B: 51.842), which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also a major concern. This suggests poor solubility and potential formulation challenges.
**hERG:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.871, B: 0.425). This is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (107.02) has higher clearance than Ligand B (77.165), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-14.461) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-3.491). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.799, B: 0.276).
**Binding Affinity:** Both have strong binding affinities (A: -9.1 kcal/mol, B: -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, but the difference (0.9 kcal/mol) isn't huge enough to overcome its other weaknesses.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While both have concerning permeability and solubility issues, Ligand B has superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life), a more favorable logP, and a lower P-gp efflux liability. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand B is outweighed by these ADME advantages, particularly the improved metabolic stability and half-life, which are critical for an enzyme target.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.36 and 352.454 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is significantly better than Ligand B (78.09). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are well below this, but lower is generally preferred.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.022 and 2.55), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (1 and 2, respectively), well below the threshold of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBAs, well below the threshold of 10.
**6. QED:** Both have reasonable QED scores (0.794 and 0.635), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (42.458) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand B (54.944), both being under the 60 threshold, but A is preferable.
**8. BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (75.921 and 77.627). This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.626 and -4.881). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are close enough that it doesn't strongly differentiate the two.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.306 and -2.846), again indicating poor solubility. Similar to Caco-2, the difference isn't substantial.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both have low hERG inhibition risk (0.309 and 0.604), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.379) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (42.359), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-25.935) has a *much* longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (21.282). This is a major advantage, as it suggests less frequent dosing potential.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.169).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinities (-6.1 and -5.8 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it's not a decisive factor.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is superior. While both ligands have similar binding affinities and acceptable ADME properties, Ligand A demonstrates better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), a significantly longer half-life, and a slightly better DILI score. The lower TPSA is also a minor advantage. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the improved PK profile of A outweighs this concern.

* **Affinity:** -7.8 kcal/mol - Very good binding affinity, close to Ligand A.
**Comparison and Decision:**
Both compounds have excellent binding affinity. Ligand A has a slightly better affinity (-7.9 vs -7.8 kcal/mol), but its extremely poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are major liabilities. Ligand B has a shorter half-life and higher clearance, but its permeability and solubility, while still not ideal, are significantly better than Ligand A's. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability (half-life and clearance) and solubility are critical. While Ligand B's half-life is concerning, the better permeability and solubility offer more opportunities for optimization. The poor ADME properties of Ligand A are harder to overcome.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (82.319 percentile) than Ligand B (12.214 percentile). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration, but Ligand B is better (85.964 vs 62.233). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for both, but potentially more manageable than the DILI risk.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.243) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.593), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a very high microsomal clearance (95.702), indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much lower clearance (36.792), which is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-15.449), which is not physically possible and indicates a serious issue. Ligand B has a short but positive half-life (3.242 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.081) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.181), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.1 kcal/mol). This 1.5+ kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. The critical factors are the significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, positive t1/2), and substantially stronger binding affinity. Ligand A's high DILI risk and negative half-life are deal-breakers.

**DILI:** Ligand A (88.639) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (72.47), but both are acceptable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (54.634) is higher than Ligand A (25.979), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative (-5.28 and -5.632), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative (-2.812 and -2.43), indicating poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.016 and 0.038), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.344) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-5.385), suggesting greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-21.713) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-4.909), which is desirable.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.621, B: 0.751), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 89.88, which is high and concerning. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 48.623, which is good.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration (77.045) than Ligand A (39.318), but it's not a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.665) has poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor absorption. Ligand B (-4.827) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.472 and -3.8 respectively). This could pose formulation challenges.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.09 and 0.644 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and metabolic stability, and a very low hERG risk. However, its high DILI risk and poor Caco-2 permeability are major concerns. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI) and slightly better permeability, but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage. While the DILI risk is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The poor permeability is also a concern, but could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The metabolic instability of Ligand B is a more difficult issue to resolve.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.487 and 351.407 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is well below the 140 threshold, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (111.53) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.956) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-0.961) is below 1, which might hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA) is acceptable, but higher HBA could slightly impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.912 and 0.686), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (36.332 and 35.75), which is positive.
**BBB:** Ligand A (61.38) has moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (23.342) has very low BBB penetration. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.664) and Ligand B (-5.171) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.869) and Ligand B (-1.009) both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.513) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.037) has an extremely low hERG risk, also excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.307) has moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-9.268) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely an artifact of the prediction method. This is a major red flag for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.672) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-31.006) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and further reinforces the concerns about its predicted properties.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.163) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.007) has very low P-gp efflux, also good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.5 kcal/mol and -9.0 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand A is the more viable candidate. Ligand B exhibits impossible predicted values for microsomal clearance and in vitro half-life, indicating significant issues with the prediction model or inherent instability. While both have permeability and solubility concerns, the unrealistic ADME predictions for Ligand B make it a non-starter. Ligand A, while not perfect, has a more plausible ADME profile and a very favorable hERG risk.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.399 and 344.455 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.25) is better than Ligand B (62.55), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.759 and 3.395), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which *could* be a minor concern for off-target effects, but isn't a major issue.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.818) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.609), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (74.99) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (45.328). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (79.682) is slightly better than Ligand B (64.482). However, BBB isn't a high priority for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.107) is worse than Ligand B (-4.711).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand A (-3.631) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-3.486).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.113) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.681), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (79.926) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (24.433), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (40.012) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (29.15), which is generally desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.119 and 0.764).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, Ligand A is the better candidate. While it has a higher DILI risk and slightly worse solubility/permeability, its significantly lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) and higher QED score are more important. The binding affinity is comparable between the two. The lower clearance of Ligand A suggests it will have a longer duration of action *in vivo*.

**BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration (37.301 and 38.193), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.237 and -5.277), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.678 and -1.967), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.048) has very low hERG inhibition risk, a significant advantage. Ligand B (0.156) has a slightly higher, but still low, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.846) has a very low (and negative) microsomal clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (3.389) has a higher clearance, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.974) has a very long in vitro half-life, consistent with the low clearance. Ligand B (-11.311) also has a long half-life, but not as impressive as A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.011).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**

Its substantially stronger binding affinity (-9.6 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (though still not ideal) also favor Ligand B. Ligand A's primary advantage is its very low hERG risk, but the difference isn't large enough to overcome the weaker binding. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications for either compound.

Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker binding affinity, presents a much more favorable ADME profile with a low DILI risk and better metabolic stability. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are shared concerns that would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification. However, the ADME profile of Ligand B is more readily optimizable than the safety concerns associated with Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (359.388 and 368.415 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.56) is significantly better than Ligand B (116.88). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B is pushing the limit and may have absorption issues.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.796) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.029) is a bit low, potentially hindering membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 7. Ligand B is higher, potentially impacting permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.841) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.627) is still acceptable but less favorable.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.789) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (55.293). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (84.064) is better than Ligand B (65.025).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. However, the scale is not provided, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is not provided.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.694) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.076), which is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (40.857) has a higher (worse) clearance than Ligand B (7.569). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (1.395) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (2.578). This favors Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.396) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.022), which is better for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.0 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol, making it a key factor.
**Overall:**
Ligand A has better drug-likeness (QED, DILI, hERG, P-gp), and acceptable TPSA and logP. However, its metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) is worse, and its binding affinity is significantly weaker.
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, better metabolic stability, but suffers from higher TPSA, lower logP, higher DILI risk, and a higher risk of hERG inhibition.
Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-10.0 kcal/mol vs -7.1 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor, despite its ADME liabilities. Optimization efforts could then focus on improving the ADME profile of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.371 and 349.431 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (99.51) is slightly above the preferred <90 for CNS penetration but acceptable for a non-CNS target. Ligand B (84.67) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.507) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.978) is closer to the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.874 and 0.776), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 63.164, placing it in the higher risk category (>60). Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk (28.306), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (76.58) than Ligand A (51.415).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.043) has very poor predicted Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.223) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor predicted solubility (-1.552 and -2.747). This is a concern, but can sometimes be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.152 and 0.17), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.585) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.474), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.813) has a negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (11.56) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.031 and 0.066).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.7 and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.7 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better metabolic stability, its significantly higher DILI risk, very poor Caco-2 permeability, and negative in vitro half-life are major drawbacks. Ligand B, while having a higher Cl_mic, presents a much more favorable overall profile with a lower DILI risk, better Caco-2 permeability, and a positive half-life. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the deciding factor.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (356.407 and 366.418 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.25) is slightly higher than Ligand B (93.21). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but closer to the 90 threshold for CNS targets, which isn't a priority here.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.684 and 1.471), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.659 and 0.724), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (88.29) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (66.615). This is a significant concern, as we want to minimize liver toxicity.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (63.629) and Ligand B (50.523) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.581) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.888), indicating potentially lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.441) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.938). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.57) has a higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.212). Lower hERG risk is crucial to avoid cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.601) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.124), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (77.738) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-18.892). This is a major advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.38) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.047), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While A is stronger, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh its other liabilities.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better half-life, lower P-gp efflux, and slightly better binding affinity, but suffers from significantly higher DILI risk, hERG risk, and lower solubility/permeability. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and better solubility/permeability. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved safety and ADME properties of Ligand B outweigh the modest difference in binding affinity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (356.769 Da and 344.467 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.54) is slightly higher than Ligand B (76.69), but both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.938) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (0.773) is below it. A logP too low can hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 8. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.834) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand A (0.435), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (96.51%), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a low DILI risk (13.61%).
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (75.107) is slightly better than Ligand A (63.086). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is unclear.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.532) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.311), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-11.45) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible. This is a red flag and suggests a data error. Ligand A (89.016) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.822) has a negative half-life, which is also impossible and indicates a data error. Ligand A (42.212) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.55) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.045), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its extremely high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability are major drawbacks. The negative values for Caco-2, solubility, clearance, and half-life for Ligand B are concerning and likely indicate data errors. However, even assuming those values are errors, the DILI risk for Ligand A is almost disqualifying. The better QED, lower DILI, and potentially better permeability/solubility (if the negative values are errors) make Ligand B the more promising candidate, *assuming the negative values are corrected*. The affinity difference, while significant, can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B.

The potency advantage is likely to be more impactful for an enzyme target like SRC kinase than the slightly worse metabolic stability. Both compounds have solubility and permeability concerns, but these can be addressed through formulation strategies. Ligand B's low logP is a more fundamental issue.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (384.173) is slightly preferred.
2. **TPSA:** Both are below 140, good for oral absorption. B (78.86) is slightly better than A (82.7).
3. **logP:** Both are within the optimal range (1-3). B (3.757) is slightly better than A (4.701), but A is still acceptable.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable, B (0) is also acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (3) is acceptable, B (7) is acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both are above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties. B (0.599) is slightly better than A (0.573).
7. **DILI:** A (99.341) is *very* high risk, a significant concern. B (79.449) is still elevated, but considerably better.
8. **BBB:** A (53.974) is not particularly high, but not a major concern for a non-CNS target. B (77.898) is better, but also not critical here.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. A (-4.751) is slightly worse than B (-4.933).
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. A (-6.525) is slightly better than B (-3.885).
11. **hERG:** Both are low, indicating low risk of cardiotoxicity. A (0.401) is slightly better than B (0.325).
12. **Cl_mic:** A (25.237) is much better than B (81.085), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** A (102.667) is much better than B (62.897), indicating a longer half-life. This is also a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
14. **Pgp:** Both are low, indicating low efflux. A (0.168) is slightly better than B (0.401).
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-8.5) is slightly better than A (-8.4), but the difference is small.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While B has a slightly better affinity and TPSA, A significantly outperforms B in metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and has a lower DILI risk. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of both are concerns, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The extremely high DILI risk for ligand A is a major red flag.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand B, the significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and lower DILI risk of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate. The solubility and permeability issues are addressable, but high DILI is a difficult property to fix later in development.

**logP:** Ligand A (0.098) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability and bioavailability. Ligand B (4.842) is high, which could lead to solubility issues and off-target interactions, but is still within a reasonable range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (4) is acceptable. Ligand B (0) is also acceptable, potentially improving membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4-5 HBA, which is within the acceptable range.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.518, B: 0.721), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.999) has a moderate DILI risk. Ligand B (14.618) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (78.674) has moderate BBB penetration. Ligand B (93.292) has high BBB penetration, but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.666 and -5.241). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not clearly defined, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.518 and -3.946). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is unclear.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.303) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.824) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, but still within a manageable range.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.735) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (-4.789) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and likely indicates an issue with the data.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.01) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.582) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, excellent metabolic stability, and low hERG risk. However, it suffers from low logP and potentially poor solubility/permeability. Ligand B has better TPSA, lower DILI risk, and better QED, but its binding affinity is weaker, and its in vitro half-life is problematic.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, **binding affinity is paramount**. The 1.1 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. The poor solubility/permeability of Ligand A could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (357.284 and 360.797 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.02) is slightly higher than Ligand B (79.73), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good absorption.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.765) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.5), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively high DILI risk (70.686 and 78.054), which is a concern. However, this is a percentile, and we need to consider other factors.
**BBB:** Ligand A (35.091) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (57.736). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.853 and -4.709), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.173 and -3.519), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for oral bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.603) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.28), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (69.728) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (31.454), meaning Ligand A is more metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.738) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a significant issue with the data or the compound. Ligand B (0.865) has a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.117 and 0.348).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better QED of Ligand A, the negative and unrealistic in vitro half-life is a deal-breaker. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are also major concerns. However, Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While the DILI risk is high for both, the binding affinity advantage of Ligand B is substantial enough to make it the more promising candidate, *assuming the half-life data is accurate*. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.979 hours) has a negative half-life, which is unusual and suggests a very rapid clearance or instability. Ligand B (41.049 hours) is a more reasonable value. However, the negative value for A is likely an artifact of the modeling and should be interpreted cautiously.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.024 and 0.056).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.447 and 349.391 Da) are within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.11) is better than Ligand B (131.54). Lower TPSA generally improves oral absorption, and while not a strict requirement for kinases, it's a plus.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.728 and 1.829), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.654) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.288), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (34.277) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (58.162), which is a significant advantage.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and indicates very poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.704) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.976), but both are problematic.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-1.009) is slightly better than Ligand A (-3.317).
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.318 and 0.172), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (2.406) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (37.124), indicating much better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (23.524 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-28.386 hours - a negative value is concerning). This is another significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.124 and 0.031), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, and the 1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While Ligand A has a better QED and slightly better TPSA and Caco-2, Ligand B excels in the most critical areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and substantially stronger binding affinity. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but the potency and metabolic stability advantages of Ligand B are more impactful for kinase inhibition.

14. **Pgp:** A (0.41) has moderate P-gp efflux. B (0.004) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
15. **Affinity:** A (0) has no binding affinity. B (-7.5) has strong binding affinity.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better BBB penetration, **Ligand B** is the far more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.5 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) is a decisive advantage. Furthermore, its excellent metabolic stability (very low Cl_mic), low DILI risk, and low P-gp efflux outweigh its lower Caco-2 permeability and shorter half-life. While solubility is a concern for both, the binding affinity and metabolic stability of B are critical for an enzyme inhibitor.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (340.358 and 342.374 Da) are within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88) is slightly higher than Ligand B (75.19). Both are below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and acceptable for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.427 and 2.039) fall within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.745 and 0.926), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (73.245) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (58.744). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (82.9) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (66.576), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.161) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.622). While both are negative, a less negative value is preferable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.591) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.693). Solubility is important for bioavailability, making Ligand B preferable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.519 and 0.365), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-1.264) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (62.158). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand B, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-21.44) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-15.735). This is another strong advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.214 and 0.051).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.3 and -8.9 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better (-8.9 kcal/mol), but the difference is relatively small.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is clearly superior. While both have good potency and drug-like properties, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME characteristics: lower DILI risk, better solubility, much lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a longer half-life. These factors are crucial for enzyme inhibitors. The slight advantage in binding affinity for Ligand B further solidifies its position as the more promising candidate.

Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the 1.7 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the ADME profile of Ligand B is concerning, it is not prohibitive, and optimization could potentially address these issues. The stronger binding of Ligand B makes it a more promising starting point for further development.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (361.398 and 361.348 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (91.32) is slightly above the preferred <140, while Ligand B (77.54) is well within. This favors Ligand B for potential absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.609) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.185) is pushing the upper limit. Higher logP can lead to off-target effects and solubility issues, making Ligand A slightly better here.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0, which is also acceptable. No clear advantage.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 5 HBA, which is within the acceptable range of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.821) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand A (0.577), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (75.456) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (55.332). Lower DILI is preferred, giving an advantage to Ligand B.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (88.135) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (43.583), but this is less crucial.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.399) and Ligand B (-4.346) both have negative values, which is unusual. Lower (more negative) values indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.116 and -5.117 respectively). This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.435 and 0.465 respectively), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (1.981) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (34.802), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-3.099) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-7.14), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.149 and 0.337 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While both have poor solubility, Ligand B excels in key areas for an enzyme inhibitor: significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a higher QED score, lower DILI risk, and a substantially stronger binding affinity. The slightly higher logP is a minor concern compared to these advantages.

**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (47.926 and 40.132), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (66.576) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (32.881), but BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.459) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.063), but both are quite poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.915) has a worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.296), which is a concern.

For an enzyme (kinase) target like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand A excels in affinity and metabolic stability, while Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and slightly better solubility. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the higher DILI risk, Ligand A's significantly superior binding affinity (-8.4 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) and substantially better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower Pgp efflux make it the more promising candidate. The strong binding is likely to be more impactful than the moderate DILI risk, which can be further investigated and potentially mitigated.

**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values around 93-94, which is acceptable for general oral absorption but not ideal for CNS penetration (though not a priority for SRC).
**logP:** Ligand A (1.078) is closer to the optimal range (1-3) than Ligand B (2.46). While 2.46 is still within range, the lower logP of A might indicate better solubility and potentially fewer off-target interactions.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.478, B: 0.689). Ligand B's score is better, indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (27.142) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (44.591). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand B (82.047) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (68.748), but this isn't a critical factor for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.864 and -4.741), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.145 and -3.617), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds and could hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.082) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.383). This is a critical advantage for Ligand A, minimizing cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (66.165) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.288), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-1.102) has a slightly better (less negative) in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-8.064), indicating better stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.019) has very low P-gp efflux liability, while Ligand B (0.143) has slightly higher efflux. This is a minor advantage for Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.1 and -7.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better QED and in vitro half-life, Ligand A is significantly better in terms of safety (DILI and hERG) and has lower P-gp efflux. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both, but the safety profile is paramount. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower hERG risk and DILI risk of Ligand A outweigh its slightly higher clearance.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-17.986) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (3.361), a major advantage for dosing frequency.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.251) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.181), which is good for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (1.5 kcal/mol), and is a significant factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity. However, Ligand A excels in almost all ADME-Tox properties. Specifically, the lower DILI, better solubility, lower hERG risk, and significantly longer half-life of Ligand A are very compelling. While the affinity difference is notable, the improved safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Ligand A outweigh this concern, especially considering the already good affinity of -7.4 kcal/mol. The longer half-life alone is a major advantage for a kinase inhibitor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (372.284 and 344.415 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (32.34) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (87.46) is still acceptable, but higher, potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.601) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.179) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability and bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=2) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=5) both have reasonable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.823 and 0.798), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (30.167 and 33.463), which is positive.
**BBB:** Ligand A (92.827) shows good BBB penetration, while Ligand B (72.858) is lower. While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it doesn't detract significantly.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.784 and -4.994), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both, but potentially more so for Ligand B given its already low logP.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.452 and -2.032), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.932 and 0.228), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-15.687) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.681), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.125 hours) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (12.984 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.2 and 0.045), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.1 and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both compounds having good binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its superior logP, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and better in vitro half-life outweigh the slightly lower BBB penetration. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerns for both, but Ligand A's better overall profile makes it the preferred choice for further optimization.

**DILI:** Ligand A (93.525) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (44.707). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (87.01) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (30.128), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, suggesting poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-1.994) is slightly better than Ligand A (-4.012).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.19, B: 0.384), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.697) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.651), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.489) has a negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand A (22.048) has a more reasonable value. However, negative values are suspect and require further investigation.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.296, Ligand B: 0.012), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its much stronger binding affinity. However, it suffers from higher logP, higher clearance, and lower solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and lower DILI, but its binding affinity is weaker, and it has very poor solubility and a very short half-life.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, binding affinity is paramount. The difference in affinity (-8.1 vs -9.0) is significant. While Ligand A has some ADME drawbacks, these might be addressable through further optimization. The extremely short half-life of Ligand B is a more difficult problem to solve. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but potentially manageable with formulation strategies.

**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with intestinal absorption. However, these values can be unreliable and should be confirmed experimentally.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which also is unusual and suggests potential issues with aqueous solubility. However, these values can be unreliable and should be confirmed experimentally.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.922) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.381), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (93.74) has high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (4.303) has very low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. This is a major advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (46.237) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (23.125) has a shorter half-life, but the low clearance suggests it could be improved with structural modifications.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.328) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.094), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a higher logP, higher DILI risk, and significantly higher microsomal clearance, indicating poorer metabolic stability. Ligand B has better ADME properties across the board (lower logP, lower DILI, much lower clearance, lower hERG), but a weaker binding affinity.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.6 vs -7.1 kcal/mol), the improved potency of Ligand A is likely to outweigh its ADME liabilities, *provided* those liabilities can be addressed through further optimization. The lower clearance of Ligand B is very attractive, but the potency difference is significant.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (117.43) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (73.2) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.219) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.653) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, both within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also good.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.627 and 0.738, respectively), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (37.999 and 30.593 percentiles), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration (53.974 and 62.117), which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.419 and -5.013). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and negative values are not uncommon, particularly if the assay is reported as a ratio.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.132 and -3.328). Similar to Caco-2, these are likely log scale values and indicate poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.015) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.478) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (8.968 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance than Ligand B (55.838 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.283 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (2.327 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.063).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) - a difference of 1.3 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having some solubility/permeability concerns (indicated by the negative Caco-2 and solubility values), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly lower logP and TPSA. Furthermore, Ligand A demonstrates better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) and a superior hERG profile. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to overcome the minor ADME drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (345.414 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (375.491 Da) is also well within range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.56) is significantly better than Ligand B (96.97). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but Ligand B is approaching a level that could hinder it.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.007) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.549) is *below* the optimal range and could have permeability issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is better than Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=6). Both are within acceptable limits, but lower counts generally favor permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.804, B: 0.647), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable DILI risk (A: 49.981, B: 48.895), both below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (60.644) has a moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (44.552) is lower. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.295) and Ligand B (-5.527) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.495) and Ligand B (-1.06) both have negative solubility values, which is also concerning. Poor solubility can limit bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.777) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.133), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-4.259) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is impossible. This is a data error and a major red flag. Ligand A (115.451) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-8.128) has a negative half-life, another data error. Ligand A (5.353) has a relatively short half-life, which isn't ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.213) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.01), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (A: -8.5 kcal/mol, B: -8.8 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand A is the more viable candidate. The primary reason is the data quality issues with Ligand B (negative clearance and half-life). Beyond that, Ligand A has a better TPSA, lower hERG risk, and lower P-gp efflux. While both have poor solubility and permeability, the issues with Ligand B's data make it a non-starter. The high clearance of Ligand A is a concern but could be addressed through structural modifications.

**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good binding affinity, Ligand A is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk (23.9 vs 90.1) and better TPSA (58.6 vs 106.9). Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), but the lower DILI risk of Ligand A is a more critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor, as liver toxicity is a common issue in drug development. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, but the DILI risk is the deciding factor here.

Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is crucial. While its metabolic stability is a concern, it can potentially be addressed through structural modifications during lead optimization. The improved solubility and permeability also contribute to better potential *in vivo* performance.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 67.313, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 26.444, which is excellent. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A (41.799) and Ligand B (91.431). BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but higher BBB is generally favorable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.151) and Ligand B (-4.743) are both negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.766 and -3.875).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.551) and Ligand B (0.873). Lower is better. Ligand A is better in this regard.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (69.162) and Ligand B (61.148). Lower is better, indicating greater metabolic stability. Ligand B is slightly better.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.869) and Ligand B (-8.516). Higher is better. Ligand B is better.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.242) and Ligand B (0.678). Lower is better. Ligand A is better.

**8. BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (57.697 and 59.597), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.274 and 0.13).
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-5.646) has a negative clearance, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data. Ligand B (-9.146) also has a negative clearance, indicating an issue with the data.
**13. In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (0.083) has a very short half-life. Ligand B (-6.736) also has a negative half-life, indicating an issue with the data.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.04 and 0.021).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0).
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and QED, but its extremely high DILI risk and questionable Cl_mic/t1/2 values are major red flags. The negative values for Cl_mic and t1/2 are concerning and likely indicate data errors. Ligand B has a lower affinity but significantly lower DILI risk and a more reasonable logP. While the negative values for Caco-2, solubility, Cl_mic and t1/2 are concerning, the lower DILI risk makes Ligand B a more promising starting point for optimization, assuming the negative values are data errors.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 6 HBA, both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.615 and 0.764), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (26.638) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.807), which is a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (60.527) is slightly higher than Ligand A (45.328).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.873 and -5.169), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-1.459 and -1.744), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.034 and 0.233), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.434) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (2.273), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.169) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-18.77), indicating better stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.038).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both have the same binding affinity (-8.1 kcal/mol), which is excellent and strong.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both compounds have excellent binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand B is superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and slightly better Caco-2 permeability. Ligand A's higher clearance is a major concern. The poor solubility and permeability are shared issues that would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications, but the ADME profile of Ligand B is more favorable overall.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, hERG inhibition, and P-gp efflux, and lower solubility and half-life. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, hERG) and better ADME properties (solubility, half-life, P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the significant affinity advantage of Ligand A (-7.7 vs -6.7 kcal/mol), and the fact that ADME issues can often be addressed through further optimization, I would initially favor Ligand A. The improved potency is likely to be more impactful than the ADME liabilities, which can be mitigated in subsequent rounds of optimization.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.917) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.525), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (77.06) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.744). This means Ligand B is much more metabolically stable, which is a major advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.824) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-12.175). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.387) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.094), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge (1.5 kcal/mol), it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While Ligand A has a better half-life and lower P-gp efflux, Ligand B's significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and slightly better binding affinity outweigh the drawbacks of its higher TPSA and slightly lower solubility. The lower DILI risk for Ligand A is a plus, but the metabolic stability of Ligand B is crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 6. Both are acceptable, being under 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.734 and 0.877), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (88.019) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (51.725). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (73.827) is better than Ligand B (63.862). However, BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or modeling. This is difficult to interpret without further information.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again unusual. Ligand B (-1.804) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.99).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.523) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.233), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (72.129) has higher clearance than Ligand B (29.474). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-20.877) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data issue. Ligand A (31.671) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.495) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.143), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol), but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B appears to be the better candidate despite the questionable Caco-2 and solubility values, and the impossible half-life. Its significantly lower DILI risk and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) are crucial advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly lower affinity is less concerning given the other benefits. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are red flags that would require further investigation, but the other factors strongly favor Ligand B. Ligand A's higher DILI risk is a significant concern.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand A (91.276) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (55.176).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.406) has a better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.346).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.801 and -2.933 respectively). This is a concern for both, but not a deciding factor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.49, Ligand B: 0.093). Ligand B is slightly better here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (29.219) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (37.789), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.037) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-52.772). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.035, Ligand B: 0.038).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinity (Ligand A: -8.0 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.5 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior to Ligand B. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity and hERG inhibition, Ligand A excels in crucial ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), better TPSA, and better Caco-2 permeability. These factors are particularly important for an enzyme inhibitor, where maintaining adequate systemic exposure is critical. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to outweigh the substantial ADME advantages of Ligand A.

2025-04-17 15:37:29,517 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [345.487, 73.2, 3.004, 1, 3, 0.661, 17.449, 74.68, -4.597, -4.03, 0.626, 80.787, -7.882, 0.243, -8.2]

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (345.487) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (73.2) is better than B (83.06) as it's closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
3. **logP:** A (3.004) is optimal. B (4.07) is pushing the upper limit and could present solubility issues.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is good. B (0) is acceptable, but some HBD can aid solubility.
5. **HBA:** A (3) is good. B (5) is acceptable, but higher HBA can sometimes hinder permeability.
6. **QED:** A (0.661) is significantly better than B (0.384), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (17.449) is much better than B (33.463), indicating a lower risk of liver injury.
8. **BBB:** Both are reasonably good, but B (88.329) is better than A (74.68). However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.626) is better than B (0.892), suggesting lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (80.787) is higher than B (21.015), meaning A has faster metabolic clearance and lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
13. **t1/2:** B (10.175) is much better than A (-7.882), indicating a longer half-life and potentially less frequent dosing. This is a major advantage for B.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.243) is better than B (0.332), suggesting less P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-9.7) is significantly better than A (-8.2), representing a substantial potency advantage (1.5 kcal/mol difference). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Enzyme-specific priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
While Ligand A has better QED, DILI, hERG, and Pgp properties, Ligand B's significantly superior binding affinity (-9.7 vs -8.2 kcal/mol) and much improved *in vitro* half-life outweigh the drawbacks of its slightly higher logP and worse DILI. The improved half-life is particularly important for an enzyme target, as it suggests a longer duration of action. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

While Ligand A has a slightly better affinity, it suffers from very poor Caco-2 permeability, a negative in vitro half-life, and a significantly better DILI profile. Ligand B has a better QED, better half-life, and slightly better Caco-2 permeability, but a higher DILI risk and higher clearance.
Considering the balance, the improved metabolic stability and lower DILI risk of Ligand A, coupled with its slightly better binding affinity, outweigh its permeability issues. The poor permeability could potentially be addressed with formulation strategies. The negative half-life is a major concern, but could be improved with structural modifications.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.562 and 0.271), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.549) exhibits *much* better metabolic stability than Ligand B (93.491). Lower is better. This is a critical advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-19.861) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-17.625).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.038 and 0.412), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-9.6 and -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better (-9.6 vs -8.2). The difference is 1.4 kcal/mol, which is significant.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a better QED and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A's significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and slightly better binding affinity are more crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The improved solubility of Ligand A is also a benefit. The 1.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to outweigh the slightly lower QED and Caco-2 values of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.431 and 351.363 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (77.1) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, and even favorable for potential CNS penetration (though not a priority here). Ligand B (137.25) is still under the 140 threshold, but higher than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.187) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-1.394) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, well within acceptable limits. Ligand B has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (0.457 and 0.61), indicating acceptable drug-likeness. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (45.483) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (69.678), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (68.36) has a better percentile than Ligand B (23.73).
**Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.861) and Ligand B (-5.218) have similar negative values, indicating poor Caco-2 permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.704) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-2.614).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.211 and 0.098), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.247) has a better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-16.616), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-3.876) has a better (longer) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-7.442). This further supports its improved metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.005).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.7 kcal/mol is not large enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have good binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A demonstrates superior ADME properties, specifically lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better solubility. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but the significant differences in DILI and metabolic stability make Ligand A the preferred choice for further development.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.68) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. Ligand B (11.162) has a reasonable half-life. However, the negative value for Ligand A is a clear red flag.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.109) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.03), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). While a 1.3 kcal/mol difference is notable, it might be outweighed by other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower hERG inhibition, and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, the ADME properties of Ligand A are far more favorable, particularly the DILI and metabolic stability. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a serious issue, but the other advantages are substantial enough to still favor it over Ligand B. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.144 and 3.313), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA, which is reasonable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.6) is better than Ligand B (0.379), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.567) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (45.173), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (80.031 and 89.259), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.146) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.55), a critical advantage for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.535) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.869), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-17.974) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and suggests an issue with the data. Ligand B (18.351) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.018) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.423) has moderate efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol), but the difference is not substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability values are concerning (and potentially erroneous given the negative values), it excels in crucial areas for an enzyme inhibitor: lower DILI risk, significantly lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower P-gp efflux, and a better QED score. The slightly weaker binding affinity is outweighed by these favorable ADME-Tox properties. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a red flag and needs investigation, but the other properties are more compelling.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
* **Affinity:** B has a significantly better binding affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A has much better microsomal clearance and in vitro half-life.
* **Solubility:** Both are poor, but B is slightly worse.
* **hERG:** Both are acceptable.
* **DILI:** A has a much lower DILI risk.
**Conclusion:**
While ligand A has better metabolic stability and lower DILI risk, the significantly stronger binding affinity of ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -7.9 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of slightly higher DILI, slightly worse solubility, and lower metabolic stability. A 0.8 kcal/mol difference is a substantial advantage in potency for an enzyme target. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed in further optimization, but the initial potency advantage of B makes it the more promising candidate.

The TPSA is also more favorable for Ligand B. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh this.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (404.268 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (343.471 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand A (86.36) is slightly higher than Ligand B (71.09).
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values between 1-3 (Ligand A: 2.584, Ligand B: 3.067), which is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (Ligand A: 0.684, Ligand B: 0.807), indicating a drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 88.639, which is high. Ligand B has a DILI risk of 39.667, which is good. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration (Ligand A: 61.613, Ligand B: 68.399). BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.111 and -4.905), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are likely representing very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.114 and -3.783), suggesting poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.248, Ligand B: 0.403).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower microsomal clearance (18.264 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (45.039 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a longer in vitro half-life (37.039 hours) than Ligand B (-6.5 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.051, Ligand B: 0.22).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (Ligand A: -9.6 kcal/mol, Ligand B: -8.1 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly more potent.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and metabolic stability, the significantly higher DILI risk and the extremely short half-life of Ligand B are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite its weaker affinity and faster clearance, presents a much more favorable safety profile (lower DILI, low hERG) and a reasonable P-gp efflux. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk of Ligand B outweighs the slightly better affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand A.

**DILI:** Ligand A (59.131) has a moderate DILI risk. Ligand B (20.744) has a significantly lower and preferable DILI risk.
**BBB:** Both have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (80.419) is better than Ligand A (70.88). This is less crucial for a kinase inhibitor than for a CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.635) and Ligand B (-4.898) have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.514 and -2.424). This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.046) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.365) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (54.594) has a moderate clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (74.032) has higher clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.313 hours) has a good half-life. Ligand B (1.947 hours) has a very short half-life, which is a significant concern.

**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.4 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. It also has a much lower DILI risk and better BBB penetration, and a slightly lower hERG risk. While its metabolic stability (higher clearance, shorter half-life) is worse than Ligand A, the potency advantage is likely to be more impactful, and metabolic stability can be improved through further optimization. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but the superior binding affinity makes Ligand B the better starting point.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.862) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand B (3.887) has a positive half-life, indicating better stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.086) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.519) has moderate efflux.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand A has better DILI, hERG, P-gp efflux, and QED scores. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor for both. The half-life is also concerning for Ligand A. While the affinity difference is large, the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are significant hurdles. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, I would choose Ligand B, but with a strong caveat that solubility and permeability *must* be addressed through further optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.435 and 355.563 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (96.45) is slightly above the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (60.77) is well within the desirable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.308) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (4.134) is at the upper end of the optimal range, potentially causing solubility issues but acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 3 HBA, both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.666 and 0.619), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (38.736) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (12.02), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (62.97) and Ligand B (80.69) both have acceptable BBB penetration, but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.629) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-4.25) also has poor Caco-2 permeability, but is slightly better than Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.627) and Ligand B (-3.748) both have poor aqueous solubility, which could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.075) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.855) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.696) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (71.809), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-28.555) has a negative half-life, indicating very rapid metabolism. Ligand B (20.425) has a more reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.004) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.668) has a moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a lower DILI risk, lower P-gp efflux, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability, low logP, and a very short in vitro half-life. Ligand B has better Caco-2 permeability, better solubility, and a more reasonable half-life, but its binding affinity is very weak.
Given that SRC is a kinase, potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability are paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.5 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a major factor. While Ligand A's ADME properties are concerning, optimization efforts could potentially address these issues. The weak binding of Ligand B makes it a less attractive starting point, as significant structural modifications would be needed to achieve sufficient potency.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.109) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.584) is better, though still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.821) has poor solubility, while Ligand B (-3.424) is even worse. Both are problematic, but the difference isn't huge.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.504 and 0.522).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (19.006 mL/min/kg) has lower clearance than Ligand B (38.436 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.636 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.099 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.036 and 0.12).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive factor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh other ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B excels in binding affinity and has better logP and TPSA values, making it more likely to permeate cells. However, it has worse solubility and metabolic stability. Ligand A has better metabolic stability and a longer half-life, but suffers from poor logP, solubility, and Caco-2 permeability, and very weak binding. The significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage that likely outweighs its ADME drawbacks, especially given that SRC is an intracellular kinase. The improved logP and TPSA also contribute to better potential for cellular entry.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.762) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.597), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (Ligand A: 54.207, Ligand B: 51.725), and both are reasonably low, below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (55.176) has a better BBB percentile than Ligand B (41.218), but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.336) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.461).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.486) is better than Ligand B (-3.165), indicating better solubility. Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (Ligand A: 0.177, Ligand B: 0.268), which is excellent.

While both have issues with solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG), significantly stronger binding affinity, and more reasonable ADME properties (despite the negative half-life, which is likely a data error). The negative clearance and half-life for Ligand B are major red flags, and the significantly higher DILI risk is also a serious concern. The superior binding affinity of Ligand A can potentially outweigh the solubility/permeability issues.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (347.415 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (365.499 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (105.66) is slightly above the preferred <140 for oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (71.41) is excellent, well below 140, suggesting good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.202) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. Ligand B (1.494) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 4 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.592, B: 0.829), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (11.981) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (44.436) is higher, but still below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (18.534) and Ligand B (59.364) are both relatively low, which is fine.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.481 and -4.978), which is unusual. It suggests very poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.799 and -2.583), indicating very poor solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (A: 0.136, B: 0.269), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-10.259) has a negative clearance, suggesting very high metabolic stability. Ligand B (41.644) has a higher clearance, indicating faster metabolism. This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.7) has a negative half-life, which is unrealistic. Ligand B (5.745) has a short half-life, which is a concern.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.004, B: 0.11), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and excellent metabolic stability (negative clearance). However, it has very low solubility and permeability, and a negative half-life. Ligand B has better logP and TPSA, but weaker binding affinity and poorer metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability issues are critical for *both* compounds, but the significantly stronger binding of Ligand A, coupled with its excellent metabolic stability, makes it the more promising starting point for optimization. The solubility and permeability can be addressed through structural modifications, but a weaker binder is much harder to improve.

**DILI:** Ligand A (47.344) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (71.152), which is preferable. Both are below the concerning 60 threshold, but A is better.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (77.588) has a slightly higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (69.213), but it's not a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands (-4.768 and -4.794) have similar, and poor, Caco-2 permeability. This could be a formulation challenge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands (-4.484 and -4.1) have similar, and poor, aqueous solubility. This could also be a formulation challenge.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.592) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.879), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.361) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.302), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial factor for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (97.71) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (5.717), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands (0.453 and 0.478) have similar P-gp efflux liability, which is relatively low.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity and a longer half-life. However, Ligand A exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI risk, and lower hERG inhibition. The difference in binding affinity (-7.8 vs -9.5) is substantial (1.7 kcal/mol), and this is a key driver for kinase inhibitors. While the solubility and permeability are poor for both, the metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A are concerning. The improved potency of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful than the slightly worse ADME properties.

**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (A: 25.281, B: 22.722), which is positive.
**BBB:** Ligand A (67.197) has a moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (87.127) has a higher BBB penetration. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the data or the model. However, we proceed with caution.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative aqueous solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests potential issues with the data or the model. However, we proceed with caution.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (A: 0.261, B: 0.765), which is crucial for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-31.101) has a negative clearance, which is not physically possible and indicates a data issue. Ligand B (88.877) has a high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-23.665) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a data issue. Ligand B (3.088) has a short half-life, which is not ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.004, B: 0.497), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (A: -8.7 kcal/mol, B: -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a slightly better affinity.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 permeability, solubility, clearance and half-life, Ligand A appears to be the better candidate. It has a slightly better binding affinity, a lower TPSA, and lower DILI risk. The biggest concern with Ligand B is its high microsomal clearance, indicating rapid metabolism. The negative values for A are concerning and would require further investigation, but the slightly better affinity and other favorable properties make it the more promising candidate *given the available data*.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-14.531) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (21.827), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.079) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand A (0.256), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a very significant difference.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B excels in ADME properties (DILI, metabolic stability, solubility, P-gp efflux), Ligand A's binding affinity is dramatically superior. The difference in affinity (-8.9 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is so large that it likely outweighs the ADME advantages of Ligand B. A strong binding affinity is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor, and a 1.5 kcal/mol advantage is often considered significant, but here the advantage is >8 kcal/mol. The ADME properties of Ligand A are still within acceptable ranges, and optimization could further improve them.

**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 7 HBA. Both are acceptable, but Ligand A is slightly better.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.628 and 0.541), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (49.864) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand B (56.572), indicating lower liver injury risk. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (94.416) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (69.717) is lower. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but it's a positive attribute for Ligand A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.331) shows better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.133).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.668) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.238). Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.534) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.167). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (72.896) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (28.685), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a drawback for Ligand A.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-6.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in several key areas: TPSA, logP, solubility, hERG risk, and P-gp efflux. It also has slightly better binding affinity. However, its major weakness is its higher microsomal clearance and shorter half-life.
Ligand B has a longer half-life and lower clearance, which are significant advantages for *in vivo* efficacy. However, it suffers from lower logP, lower solubility, and a higher hERG risk.
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the longer half-life and lower clearance of Ligand B are more critical than the slightly better affinity of Ligand A. The solubility and hERG risk are also concerning for Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, following the provided guidelines and prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.4 and 379.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (79.2) is better than Ligand B (29.5). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is exceptionally low, which *could* indicate poor binding due to lack of necessary polar interactions.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.49) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (4.463) is slightly higher, potentially increasing off-target effects and decreasing solubility.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable, but potentially less capable of forming key interactions with the kinase active site.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.731 and 0.623), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (97.8%), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk (11.9%), a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (52.4% and 97.1%), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS involvement is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.623 and -4.443), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for oral bioavailability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-6.319 and -5.285), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, which is a significant hurdle for drug development.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.658 and 0.771), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (116.7 mL/min/kg) has higher clearance than Ligand B (75.5 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.78 hours) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (35.85 hours), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.399 and 0.386), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-9.1 vs -8.3 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, its much lower DILI risk (11.9% vs 97.8%) is a critical factor, as liver toxicity is a common reason for drug failure. While Ligand A has better TPSA and slightly better metabolic stability, the superior affinity and safety profile of Ligand B make it the better choice. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications, but the starting point is more favorable with Ligand B.

8. **BBB:** A (37.96) has lower BBB penetration than B (61.962). Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but B is better.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are log values, higher is better. A (-4.991) is slightly worse than B (-4.7).
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. A (-5.14) is worse than B (-2.206). Solubility is a key concern for kinase inhibitors.
11. **hERG:** Both are low, indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. A (0.63) is slightly higher than B (0.664).

15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a 1.7 kcal/mol difference, which is significant.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is significantly better across several critical ADME properties. Specifically, B has a much lower DILI risk, better solubility, a longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. The 1.7 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is likely outweighed by the substantial improvements in ADME. Poor solubility and high DILI risk are major red flags in drug development.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.874 and -3.264), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.571, B: 0.611).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has significantly lower microsomal clearance (35.611 mL/min/kg) than Ligand A (75.158 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both have similar in vitro half-lives (A: 45.413, B: 45.088).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.639, B: 0.248). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.4 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar MW, logP, HBD/HBA, QED, and in vitro half-life, Ligand B is clearly the superior candidate. The most critical factors are the drastically lower DILI risk and the significantly improved binding affinity. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, these issues can be addressed during formulation. The better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) of Ligand B further strengthens its case.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (362.333 and 369.466 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (116.93) is slightly above the optimal <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (92.42) is well within the range.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.079 and 1.394), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD, also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 6 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.722 and 0.818), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (49.321) has a better DILI score than Ligand B (62.04), indicating a lower risk of liver injury. This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (82.435 and 89.066), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.786 and -5.079). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.223 and -2.907), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, these are log scale values and can be misleading.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.374 and 0.189), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.399) has significantly better microsomal clearance (lower value = more stable) than Ligand B (26.463). This is a major advantage for metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-35.643) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-23.335).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.134).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and excellent binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. While both have excellent binding affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a lower DILI risk. The slightly better DILI score and significantly improved metabolic stability outweigh the slightly higher TPSA and similar binding affinity. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but could be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable DILI risk (A: 21.908, B: 21.946), well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (86.351) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (64.831). While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, it's a slight advantage.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.638) is better than Ligand B (-5.14), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.892) is better than Ligand B (-1.882), which is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.489, B: 0.395), minimizing cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.532) has a significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-45.048). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key consideration for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (21.628) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (8.955). This is generally desirable, but the difference is somewhat offset by the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.094, B: 0.007), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant, but must be weighed against the ADME properties.

However, Ligand A demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in terms of metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and solubility. The difference in binding affinity (0.9 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant advantage in metabolic stability and solubility offered by Ligand A. SRC kinases are often targets where chronic dosing is anticipated, making metabolic stability paramount.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.581 and 0.755), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 69.639, which is moderately high. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk of 13.067, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.466) and Ligand B (66.499) are both reasonable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.546 and -4.69), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.146 and -2.067), indicating poor aqueous solubility, which could hinder bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.149) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.3), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (90.724) has a higher microsomal clearance, suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (34.733) has significantly lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-7.658) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-2.322), which is beneficial.

8. **BBB:** Ligand B (81.039) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (55.37), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-5.288) has a very poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.537) is also poor.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have poor solubility (-2.814 and -2.72).
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.153) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.859), which is preferable.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (8.62) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (76.229), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for A.

For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better affinity, metabolic stability, half-life, and Pgp efflux. However, its very low logP and poor Caco-2 permeability are major concerns. Ligand B has a much better logP, lower DILI risk, and better BBB penetration, but suffers from higher metabolic clearance and a shorter half-life.
The difference in affinity is not substantial enough to overcome the significant permeability issues of Ligand A. The lower DILI risk and better logP of Ligand B make it a more promising starting point, despite its metabolic liabilities. Metabolic stability can be improved through structural modifications, but fixing a very low logP is often more challenging.

**logP:** Ligand A (4.414) is high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (1.732) is optimal.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.745 and 0.719), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 55.68, which is moderate. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk of 13.843, which is excellent.
**BBB:** BBB is less important for an oncology target. Ligand B (85.964) is higher than Ligand A (60.295).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.469 and -4.634). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, its high logP, moderate DILI risk, and poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short half-life) are significant drawbacks. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, exhibits a much more favorable ADME profile: lower logP, significantly lower DILI risk, and excellent metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic, long half-life). For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity are crucial. The 1.5 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, whereas mitigating the ADME liabilities of Ligand A would be more challenging.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.598 and 0.56), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (87.049) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (42.962). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (49.942) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (32.765), but this is not a primary factor in this decision.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.891 and -5.263). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. However, *in vitro* permeability can be difficult to predict accurately.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.67 and -1.665), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.073) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.164) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance values (14.059 and 14.928 mL/min/kg), suggesting similar metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.722 hours) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (6.288 hours), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.08 and 0.01), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a *significantly* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference. A >1.5 kcal/mol advantage in binding affinity can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the permeability and solubility concerns for both, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. The dramatically stronger binding affinity (-7.7 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. While Ligand A has a better hERG profile, Ligand B's much lower DILI risk and significantly improved potency make it the more promising starting point for further optimization. The permeability and solubility issues can be addressed through medicinal chemistry efforts, but a weak binder is much harder to improve.

**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (69.639 and 64.948), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.764 and -4.924). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so the absolute difference is not huge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.833 and -2.865), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition liability (0.586 and 0.516), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (35.109) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (54.479), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.369) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-24.638). This also supports better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.331 and 0.037), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.5 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is a substantial advantage and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability indicated by the negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 vs -6.5 kcal/mol) and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) outweigh the slightly higher DILI risk. The similar BBB and P-gp values are neutral. Addressing the solubility issues through formulation strategies would be a priority for further development of Ligand B.

**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (82.396) is slightly better than Ligand A (71.229). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.058) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.765) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.679) has better solubility than Ligand B (-4.278).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.19) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.686), which is a significant safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.475) has a lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability compared to Ligand B (36.52).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.39) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (10.894).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.04) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.813).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. The difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B boasts a substantially better binding affinity (-9.5 vs -7.7 kcal/mol). However, it suffers from higher logP, higher DILI risk, higher hERG inhibition, and higher P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better solubility, lower toxicity (DILI and hERG), and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The improved binding affinity of Ligand B is a strong point, but the safety concerns associated with its ADME profile are substantial. Given the enzyme class and the importance of minimizing off-target effects and toxicity, the more balanced profile of Ligand A, despite the lower affinity, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization. The affinity gap could potentially be addressed through medicinal chemistry efforts, while mitigating the ADME liabilities of Ligand B might be more challenging.

2025-04-17 15:46:10,868 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands (A and B) for their potential as drug candidates targeting SRC, a kinase. I will follow the provided guidelines and protein-class-specific priorities (enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk).
**Ligand A: [386.876, 75.27, 2.227, 2, 3, 0.557, 52.734, 81.737, -4.996, -3.668, 0.65, 48.328, 9.387, 0.359, -9.3]**
**Ligand B: [356.482, 66.48, 2.873, 1, 3, 0.654, 28.616, 73.788, -4.651, -2.838, 0.367, 23.896, -6.747, 0.245, -8.4]**
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (386.876) is slightly higher than B (356.482), but both are acceptable.
**2. TPSA:** Both are below the 140 A2 threshold for good oral absorption. A (75.27) is higher than B (66.48), but both are reasonably good.
**3. logP:** Both are within the optimal range (1-3). A (2.227) and B (2.873) are both good, with B being slightly higher.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** A (2) and B (1) are both within the acceptable limit of <=5. B is slightly better.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both are at 3, well within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both have good QED scores (A: 0.557, B: 0.654), indicating a drug-like profile. B is slightly better.
**7. DILI:** A (52.734) is higher than B (28.616). B has a significantly lower DILI risk, which is a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** A (81.737) is higher than B (73.788). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher BBB is generally favorable.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative values, indicating poor permeability. A (-4.996) is worse than B (-4.651). This is a concern for both.
**10. Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. A (-3.668) is worse than B (-2.838). This is a concern for both.
**11. hERG:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.65, B: 0.367). B is slightly better.
**12. Cl_mic:** A (48.328) has higher microsomal clearance than B (23.896). B has better metabolic stability, which is crucial for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. t1/2:** A (9.387) has a longer half-life than B (-6.747). This is a positive for A.
**14. Pgp:** A (0.359) has lower P-gp efflux than B (0.245). This is a positive for A.
**15. Binding Affinity:** A (-9.3) has a slightly better binding affinity than B (-8.4). This is a 0.9 kcal/mol difference, which is significant.
**Summary & Decision:**
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), **Ligand B is the more promising candidate.**
Here's why:
* **DILI Risk:** B has a significantly lower DILI risk (28.616 vs 52.734).
* **Metabolic Stability:** B has significantly lower microsomal clearance (23.896 vs 48.328) and therefore better metabolic stability.
* **hERG Risk:** B has a slightly lower hERG risk.
* **Solubility & Caco-2:** While both are poor, B is slightly better in both categories.
Although A has a slightly better binding affinity (-9.3 vs -8.4) and a longer half-life, the superior safety profile (lower DILI) and metabolic stability of B outweigh these advantages. The 0.9 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can potentially be optimized during lead optimization, whereas addressing significant DILI or poor metabolic stability is often much more challenging.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.411 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.08) is better than Ligand B (80.04). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.256) is within the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (4.585) is slightly higher. While not a dealbreaker, higher logP can sometimes lead to off-target effects and solubility issues.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=6) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=3). Lower HBD and HBA generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.789) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.583), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (92.168) has a substantially higher DILI risk than Ligand A (65.646). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 73.672, Ligand B: 72.78). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.343) has a more favorable Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.875), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.983) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-5.835). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.674, Ligand B: 0.661). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (40.808) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (55.599), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a positive attribute.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (109.409) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (23.358). This is a major advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.724, Ligand B: 0.215), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.2 kcal/mol is significant and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better overall drug-like profile (higher QED, better solubility, permeability, and lower DILI risk) and a slightly better binding affinity. However, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). The DILI risk associated with Ligand B is concerning, but the substantial improvement in half-life is a significant advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Given the importance of potency and metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.858) has a substantially better QED score than Ligand B (0.61), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (36.448) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (12.641). Both are below 40, which is good, but A is significantly safer.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (76.425) is better than Ligand B (40.558).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the absolute value is smaller for Ligand A (-5.067 vs -5.119), suggesting slightly better permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-1.829) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.305).
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.501 and 0.152), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-22.793) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (33.452), indicating better metabolic stability.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.5 kcal/mol, which is less significant than the substantial ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A excels in crucial ADME properties: QED, DILI, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), solubility, and permeability (Caco-2). These factors are particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, where maintaining adequate exposure and minimizing toxicity are critical. The 0.5 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is unlikely to outweigh the substantial improvements in drug-like properties offered by Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (367.877 and 349.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (70.67 and 74.43) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but not optimized for CNS penetration (not a priority here).
**3. logP:** Both ligands (2.451 and 2.353) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, well within the acceptable limit of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are below the 10 limit.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.784 and 0.793), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (34.277) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.359), but both are below the 40 threshold and considered good.
**8. BBB:** This is not a major concern for a non-CNS target. Ligand A (76.696) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (64.637).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.766 and -4.769). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values are not necessarily indicative of a complete lack of permeability, but rather lower than ideal.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.906 and -2.551). Again, these are on a log scale and indicate poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.468 and 0.579).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (12.067) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (17.372), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.45) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (24.098). This is a substantial advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing. Note the negative value for ligand B is likely an error.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.034 and 0.138).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-7.5 and -7.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate. While both have similar potency and acceptable safety profiles, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer in vitro half-life. These factors are crucial for enzyme inhibitors, as they contribute to sustained target engagement and potentially lower dosing frequency. The slightly lower DILI risk of Ligand B is also a minor benefit. The solubility and permeability issues are shared by both, and would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (400.825 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (355.383 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, indicating good potential for oral absorption. Ligand B (116.76) is slightly lower, which is marginally better.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.315) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (0.664) is below 1, which could hinder permeation. This is a significant negative for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have reasonable HBD (1 & 2 respectively) and HBA (8) counts, falling within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5, indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.66) is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.457%), which is a major concern. Ligand B has a DILI risk of 92.982%, still high, but better than Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Both have moderate BBB penetration.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual and concerning for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.183) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.464) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (10.259 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.069 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (83.336 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (7.617 hours), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.49) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.09), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of 7.6 kcal/mol is substantial and likely outweighs many of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning DILI score and poor permeability/solubility for both, Ligand A is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.6 vs 0.0 kcal/mol), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the drawbacks. The high DILI risk is a serious concern that would need to be addressed in further optimization, but the potency advantage is too significant to ignore. Ligand B's low logP and extremely weak binding affinity make it unlikely to be a viable drug candidate.

**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (41.877 and 32.997), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (12.447) has very low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (91.392) has high BBB penetration, which isn't particularly useful here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.088) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-4.416) also has poor Caco-2 permeability, but slightly better than A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.928 and -2.846). This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.299 and 0.631), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.129) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (25.422). Lower clearance is preferred for better metabolic stability, so Ligand B is better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-24.679) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error and a major red flag. Ligand A (32.506) has a reasonable in vitro half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.138 and 0.125), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-7.8 and -7.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.

Its significantly higher binding affinity (-9.4 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Furthermore, Ligand A exhibits better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a plausible half-life, while Ligand B has a negative half-life which is not possible. While both have poor solubility and permeability, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The superior potency and stability profile of Ligand A make it the better choice.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.422 and 346.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.44) is slightly higher than Ligand B (67.23), but both are well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (2.139 and 2.391) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 4 HBA, satisfying the <5 and <10 rules, respectively.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.852) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.551), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (25.785 and 24.506 percentile), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (89.531) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (76.58), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.591) exhibits slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.648), though both are negative values, indicating low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.449) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.156), which is a positive attribute.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.4 and 0.125), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (23.55 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (44.741 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life (t1/2):** Ligand A (8.399 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (13.122 hours). However, the lower Cl_mic of Ligand A suggests it *could* be improved with structural modifications, while B's higher clearance is harder to address.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.097 and 0.073).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.2 kcal/mol), both being below the -7.0 kcal/mol threshold. Ligand A is slightly more potent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has a slightly longer half-life, Ligand A demonstrates superior drug-likeness (QED), metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and slightly better solubility and permeability. The difference in binding affinity is small enough that the ADME advantages of Ligand A outweigh it. The lower Cl_mic is particularly important for a kinase inhibitor, as it suggests a potentially longer duration of action *in vivo*.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.77 and 0.779), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 77.627, which is considered high risk (>60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 23.769, which is good (<40). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (64.87) and Ligand B (86.817) are both reasonable, but Ligand B is better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.167 and -4.551), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are close.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.84 and -2.323), also unusual. Again, the absolute values are close, suggesting similar solubility issues.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a hERG inhibition risk of 0.94, which is relatively low. Ligand B has a very low hERG risk of 0.238, making it preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 41.369 mL/min/kg, while Ligand B has 33.993 mL/min/kg. Lower is better, so Ligand B has a slight advantage in metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 34.752 hours, while Ligand B has 15.072 hours. Ligand A is significantly better here, suggesting a longer duration of action.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has a Pgp efflux liability of 0.513, and Ligand B has 0.088. Lower is better, so Ligand B is significantly better here.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a binding affinity of -9.9 kcal/mol, while Ligand B has -7.6 kcal/mol. Ligand A has a significantly stronger binding affinity, which is a major advantage. The 2.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity (-9.9 kcal/mol vs -7.6 kcal/mol) and a longer half-life (34.752 vs 15.072). However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk (77.627 vs 23.769). Ligand B excels in ADME properties, with lower DILI, hERG, and P-gp efflux, and slightly better metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The large difference in binding affinity favors Ligand A. While the DILI risk is concerning, it can be investigated further through structural modifications. The other ADME properties of Ligand A are not drastically worse than Ligand B, and the superior potency is likely to be more impactful.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.443 and 346.431 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (86.88) is better than Ligand B (108.02). Both are below 140, supporting oral absorption, but A is closer to the preferred <90 for potential CNS penetration (though not a priority here).
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.045 and 1.642), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 3 HBA) is slightly better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.663 and 0.744), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.619) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.352). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (64.25 and 65.568). Not a major factor for a non-CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.241 and -4.915). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so the absolute difference is not huge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.663 and -2.36). Again, this is unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.359) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.142). Lower is better, so B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.026) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.237), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.337 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-10.907 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.323) has slightly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.025), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor, and a difference of 7.2 kcal/mol is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the DILI risk and solubility issues of Ligand A, its *significantly* stronger binding affinity (-7.2 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) outweigh the drawbacks. The affinity difference is so large that it's likely to overcome permeability and solubility issues with appropriate formulation. Ligand B's very weak binding affinity makes it a poor candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (355.391 and 370.566 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (125.04) is slightly above the preferred <140 for oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (59.08) is well within the ideal range.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.761) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.685) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.299 and 0.691), with Ligand B being significantly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (33.579 and 30.748), both below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (46.336) and Ligand B (63.668) both have relatively low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.888) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.516) is slightly better, but still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.394 and -1.871). This could pose formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.042 and 0.357), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-29.024) has a negative Cl_mic, indicating very slow clearance and excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (64.09) has a high Cl_mic, suggesting rapid metabolism. This is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.274) has a short half-life, while Ligand B (3.811) is similar.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.183).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). However, the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant metabolic stability advantage of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While its logP and Caco-2 permeability are suboptimal, its *exceptionally* low microsomal clearance (negative value) and therefore predicted high metabolic stability are crucial for a kinase inhibitor. The slightly weaker binding affinity is less concerning than the rapid metabolism predicted for Ligand B. The solubility issues are a concern for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.104 and 0.112).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have issues with predicted solubility and permeability, Ligand B's significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and substantially stronger binding affinity outweigh these concerns. The higher affinity is particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.355 Da and 337.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (114.33) is better than Ligand B (64.41), both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands (2.124 and 2.443) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD, while Ligand B has 0. Both are acceptable (<=5).
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 3. Both are acceptable (<=10).
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.636 and 0.779), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (82.319) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (54.323). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (61.729) is slightly better than Ligand A (55.913).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.616 and -4.452). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but could be an artifact of the prediction method.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.445 and -3.495). This is concerning, as poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.337) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.628), but both are relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.547) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.674), indicating better metabolic stability, which is a key priority for enzyme inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (12.856 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-6.492 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.106) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.321), suggesting better oral bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A >1.5 kcal/mol advantage is considered significant, and here the difference is over 7 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the concerning solubility and permeability values (which need experimental validation), Ligand A is significantly more promising due to its much stronger binding affinity (-7.1 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. The higher DILI risk is a concern, but the substantial potency advantage may outweigh this risk, especially if structural modifications can mitigate the DILI signal. Ligand B's binding affinity is too weak to be a viable candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (414.221 Da) is slightly higher, but acceptable. Ligand B (353.463 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (38.33) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (73.32) is still reasonable, but higher and potentially impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.754) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.047) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBA, and Ligand B has 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (A: 0.784, B: 0.65), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (64.909) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (13.067). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.421) is higher than Ligand B (48.119).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both, but the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.531 and 0.411 respectively). This is a major drawback for both compounds, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.812) shows a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.302), but both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-11.077) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (70.057), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-1.111) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound. Ligand A (38.075) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.45) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.016), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a *much* stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, and a less favorable logP. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI risk, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker, and its half-life is problematic. The solubility of both is poor.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the substantial difference in binding affinity (-10.1 vs -7.2 kcal/mol), I would cautiously favor Ligand A, *assuming* the solubility issues can be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher DILI risk is a concern, but could be mitigated through further structural modifications. The negative half-life of Ligand B is a showstopper.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's enough to be considered, especially given the other favorable properties of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have poor solubility, Ligand B exhibits significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a lower DILI risk, and slightly better binding affinity. The improved Caco-2 permeability is also a significant advantage. Ligand A's higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic stability are major drawbacks.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.522, B: 0.805), indicating drug-likeness. Ligand B is significantly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.097) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (33.385) is lower and preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.733) is higher, but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual and problematic. However, the scale is not defined, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is also unusual and problematic. Again, the scale is not defined.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.049) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.156) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.48) suggests very slow clearance (highly stable), which is excellent. Ligand B (8.994) is higher, indicating faster clearance and reduced metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.039) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (12.011) is shorter.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.026, B: 0.066), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable strong binding affinities (A: -8.9 kcal/mol, B: -8.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and excellent metabolic stability (low Cl_mic, good t1/2) and hERG profile, its low logP and negative solubility/permeability values are concerning. Ligand B has a better logP, QED, and DILI score, and a good BBB score, but its metabolic stability is lower. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the superior metabolic stability of Ligand A, combined with its comparable binding affinity, makes it the more promising candidate *despite* the concerning logP and solubility/permeability values. Further investigation into improving the logP and solubility of Ligand A would be a priority.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the enzyme-class guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.515 and 348.399 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (40.62) is significantly better than Ligand B (103.01). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred for kinases. Ligand B's TPSA is relatively high, potentially hindering cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.308) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (0.583) is quite low, potentially leading to poor membrane permeability and bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 2 HBA) is preferable. Ligand B has 3 HBD and 5 HBA, which is acceptable, but more could lead to issues.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.787 and 0.739), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.014 percentile) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (34.161 percentile). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (88.91) is higher than Ligand B (25.785), but this isn't a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.582) is better than Ligand B (-5.221), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.627) is better than Ligand B (-1.232), which is crucial for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.551) is significantly better than Ligand B (0.135), indicating a lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (70.964) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-14.313). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (20.684 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-11.65 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.172 and 0.036).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-8.3 and -9.1 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better, but the difference is not substantial enough to outweigh its other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, solubility, DILI, hERG) and has acceptable binding affinity. However, it has a shorter half-life and higher clearance. Ligand B has a longer half-life and better metabolic stability, but suffers from poor logP, higher TPSA, and a higher DILI risk. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial advantage of Ligand B in that regard, combined with a slightly better binding affinity, it is the more promising candidate despite its other drawbacks. The solubility and permeability issues of Ligand B could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.303) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (-0.39), which is preferable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.5) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.078), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.9 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior due to its significantly better DILI score, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), lower P-gp efflux, and slightly better half-life. While both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, the ADME profile of Ligand A is more favorable overall, particularly regarding safety (DILI) and metabolic stability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (371.459 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.503 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (100.99) is slightly above the preferred <140 for oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (52.65) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.265) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.899) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 7 HBA) is acceptable. Ligand B (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is also good, with fewer hydrogen bonding groups which generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (A: 0.653, B: 0.512), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (60.295) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (4.188) has a very low risk. This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (67.197) is higher, but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and a direct comparison is difficult without knowing the scale's specifics.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is important here, but both are likely to have formulation challenges.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.107) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.501), though both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (12.207) has a higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (2.597) has much lower clearance, which is highly desirable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-23.182) has a very short in vitro half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (-8.081) is better, but still relatively short.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.035, B: 0.018).
**Binding Affinity:** Both have excellent binding affinities (A: -7.0 kcal/mol, B: -6.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference (0.4 kcal/mol) isn't large enough to overcome its other deficiencies.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (SRC kinase), Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADMET properties: lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a more favorable logP. The lower TPSA of Ligand B is also beneficial. Although both have solubility and permeability concerns, the superior safety and pharmacokinetic profile of Ligand B outweigh the minor advantage in binding affinity of Ligand A.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 3 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.845) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.495), indicating better overall drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (60.682) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (34.587). This is a concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have relatively high BBB penetration (92.4 and 63.474), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.151) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.126). Lower values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.98 and -3.808). This is a significant drawback for both, but may be mitigated through formulation.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.179 and 0.137).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-9.1 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly more potent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED score and slightly better binding affinity, but suffers from higher DILI risk, worse Caco-2 permeability, and lower metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic and shorter t1/2). Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability, but a lower QED score. Considering the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, hERG), Ligand B is slightly favored due to its better safety profile (lower DILI) and improved metabolic stability. While solubility is poor for both, the metabolic stability is more critical for kinase inhibitors. The slight difference in binding affinity is less important than the ADME/Tox advantages of Ligand B.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.491 and 350.415 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (87.3) is slightly higher than Ligand B (79.31), but both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.74) is optimal, while Ligand B (-0.374) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 3 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.611 and 0.54), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.014) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.087), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (51.26 and 55.099), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the magnitude is similar, and we will consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, the magnitudes are similar.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.093) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.294), but both are very low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-5.286) shows *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and suggests a potential data error or unusual behavior. Ligand A (59.609) has a moderate clearance. Lower is better for metabolic stability, so Ligand B's value is highly suspect.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-5.189) also has a negative half-life, which is impossible. Ligand A (-11.827) has a negative half-life as well, indicating data issues.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.078 and 0.075).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol), a difference of 1.0 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2, solubility, and half-life, the most significant difference is the binding affinity. Ligand B binds 1.0 kcal/mol more strongly than Ligand A. Given that we are targeting an enzyme (SRC kinase), potency is paramount. While Ligand A has slightly better DILI and hERG profiles, the substantial improvement in binding affinity of Ligand B outweighs these minor drawbacks. The negative values for clearance and half-life for Ligand B are concerning and would require further investigation, but the binding affinity is compelling enough to favor it *given the available data*.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is acceptable. Ligand B (6) is also acceptable.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.665 & 0.874), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (59.91 & 58.24), which is acceptable (below 60).
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (30.83 & 59.09). This is not a major concern for a kinase inhibitor, as CNS penetration isn't usually a primary goal.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.335 & -4.988). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and negative values are not uncommon, indicating low permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.574 & -2.545). This is a potential issue for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.355 & 0.175).
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (74.81) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (22.31), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (15.48) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (7.14). This is a major advantage.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.133 & 0.081).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same excellent binding affinity (-7.6 kcal/mol).

For kinase inhibitors, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both ligands have excellent affinity, Ligand B clearly wins on metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Solubility is poor for both, but the better metabolic profile of Ligand B is more critical.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (332.407 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (360.401 Da) is also acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand A (62.87) is slightly higher than Ligand B (59.08), but both are well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.888) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (1.147) is at the lower end. Ligand A's higher logP could potentially lead to off-target effects or solubility issues, but is still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within the recommended limits (HBD <= 5, HBA <= 10).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.77) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.579), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (34.277) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (66.615), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand B (84.451) has a higher BBB penetration score than Ligand A (70.919), but BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-2.04) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.512).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.922) has a slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.499), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (22.731 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (69.809 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-31.496 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is likely an error in the data. Ligand A (23.335 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.866) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.044), meaning Ligand B is less likely to be pumped out of cells.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly lower DILI risk and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data error that needs to be investigated, but even ignoring that, the lower clearance is a strong point. The difference in binding affinity (1 kcal/mol) is not substantial enough to overcome the clear advantages of Ligand B in terms of safety and metabolic stability for an enzyme target like SRC kinase.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.642 and 0.721), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (89.88) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (59.519), which is concerning.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (71.888) has a better score than Ligand B (47.15).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and difficult to interpret without knowing the scale. Assuming a lower value means lower permeability, Ligand B (-5.567) appears to have lower permeability than Ligand A (-5.037).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again, unusual. Assuming lower values indicate lower solubility, Ligand B (-2.119) appears to have better solubility than Ligand A (-6.426).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.877) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.207), which is preferable for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (13.481) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (61.383), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (13.736) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (96.6), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.652) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.12), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. The difference is greater than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While it has some concerning ADME properties (high logP, higher DILI, higher Cl_mic, lower solubility), the significantly better affinity (-10 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) is likely to be decisive. The difference in binding is substantial enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities through further optimization. Ligand B has better ADME properties overall, but its weaker binding affinity makes it less likely to be a viable candidate.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.778) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (15.9). However, the lower clearance of Ligand A suggests the half-life could be improved with structural modifications.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.187 and 0.196).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While the difference is relatively small, it's a positive for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is favored due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower hERG risk. While Ligand B has slightly better affinity and Caco-2 permeability, the poor metabolic stability is a major concern for a kinase inhibitor, potentially leading to rapid clearance and reduced efficacy. The solubility is poor for both, but this can be addressed with formulation strategies. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is unlikely to outweigh the substantial advantage in metabolic stability offered by Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (364.515 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (337.343 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (79.18) is better than Ligand B (98.06) as it is closer to the <140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 1.708, B: 1.375), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=3, HBA=5) is slightly better than Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=7) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (A: 0.743, B: 0.755), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.385) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (94.765). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 61.962, B: 60.993), which is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.296 and -4.926), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are close, so this is not a major differentiator.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.514 and -2.453), also unusual. Again, the values are similar and not a major differentiator.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.144, B: 0.182), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.742 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.738 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (39.201 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-0.745 hours). This is a significant advantage, suggesting less frequent dosing potential.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.043, B: 0.027).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is 1.6 kcal/mol, which is significant enough to consider.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is significantly better in terms of safety (DILI), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), and has acceptable TPSA. The superior ADME properties of Ligand A, particularly the lower DILI and improved metabolic stability, outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing off-target effects are critical for clinical success.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 385.917 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (84.67) is slightly higher than Ligand B (71.53), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.767 and 2.26), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both have 5 HBA, also within the acceptable limit of <=10.

**8. BBB:** Ligand A (86.468) has a higher BBB penetration score than Ligand B (49.438). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.599 and -4.751). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference isn't huge.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.172 and -2.024), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.342 and 0.273). This is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.971) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (53.914). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, a key priority for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.385) has a negative half-life, which is problematic. Ligand B has a positive half-life (26.824), indicating better in vitro stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.205) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.124). Lower efflux is generally preferred.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a decisive advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand A is the stronger candidate. Its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.0 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is the most important factor. It also has lower DILI risk, better BBB penetration, lower microsomal clearance, and lower P-gp efflux. The negative in vitro half-life for Ligand A is a concern, but the strong binding affinity suggests it might still be a viable starting point for optimization. Ligand B's positive half-life is good, but its very weak binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a successful drug candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 68.321, which is concerning (approaching the high-risk threshold of >60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 36.409, which is preferable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (77.627 and 80.535). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a worry.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.43 and -4.765). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.642 and -3.059). Similar to Caco-2, the scale is unknown, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.318) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.5). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (73.281) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (63.953), indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is better.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (51.549) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-23.16), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.245 and 0.255).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates a much more favorable ADME profile. Specifically, the lower DILI risk, improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and slightly better hERG profile of Ligand B are crucial for a viable drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity (-1.5 kcal/mol) is significant, but not insurmountable, and can potentially be optimized in subsequent iterations. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but could be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, the ADME advantages of Ligand B are more critical than the slightly stronger binding of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.39 and 341.41 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (100.35) is higher than Ligand B (63.05). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is better positioned for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.119) is significantly lower than the optimal 1-3 range, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.864) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.762 and 0.845), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar and acceptable DILI risk (42.69 and 43.23).
**BBB:** Ligand A (16.75) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (81.69) has high BBB penetration. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.383) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.747) is slightly better, but still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.039 and -2.579). This is a concern for both, but potentially more so for Ligand A given its lower logP.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.084) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.378), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-23.437) has much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.12), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.125 hours) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (18.146 hours), which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.012) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.079) has slightly higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.7 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's poor logP and Caco-2 permeability, its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) and substantially better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) make it the more promising candidate. The lower hERG risk is also a plus. While solubility is a concern for both, the potency advantage of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful in driving forward a development program, with solubility potentially addressed through formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity (-7.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is noteworthy, but not overwhelmingly large.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better ADME properties, particularly lower DILI risk and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). The lower P-gp efflux and better TPSA are also beneficial. The unusual negative solubility and Caco-2 values are a concern for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh the slight affinity difference. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial.

2025-04-17 15:54:41,642 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [342.355, 95.34, 0.509, 1, 7, 0.87, 86.468, 61.807, -5.08, -2.83, 0.214, -22.46, 14.229, 0.034, -8.7]
**Ligand B:** [366.849, 76.46, 1.08, 1, 5, 0.578, 43.66, 58.24, -4.967, -2.436, 0.34, 6.451, 4.786, 0.245, -8.1]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (342.355) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (95.34) is higher than B (76.46). Both are below 140, acceptable for oral absorption, but B is better.
3. **logP:** A (0.509) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability. B (1.08) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
4. **HBD:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** A (7) is higher than B (5). Both are acceptable (<10), but B is preferable.
6. **QED:** Both have good QED scores (A: 0.87, B: 0.578), indicating drug-like properties. A is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** A (86.468) has a significantly higher DILI risk than B (43.66). This is a major concern for A.
8. **BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. A (61.807) is slightly higher than B (58.24).
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. A (-5.08) is worse than B (-4.967).
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. A (-2.83) is slightly worse than B (-2.436).
11. **hERG:** Both have low hERG risk (A: 0.214, B: 0.34).
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-22.46) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than B (6.451), indicating greater metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (14.229) has a longer half-life than B (4.786), which is desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Both have low Pgp efflux (A: 0.034, B: 0.245).
15. **Binding Affinity:** A (-8.7) has a slightly better binding affinity than B (-8.1). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
Despite having a slightly better binding affinity and longer half-life, Ligand A's significantly higher DILI risk and poor logP/Caco-2/Solubility make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B has a more favorable ADME profile, particularly regarding DILI and logP, and while its affinity is slightly lower, it's within a reasonable range. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) of A is a plus, but the DILI risk is a major red flag.
Therefore, **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.403 and 336.399 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (112.16) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, while Ligand B (84.73) is well within this range.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (1.025 and 1.814), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBD and 6 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 5 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.596 and 0.744), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively high DILI risk (67.158 and 65.723), indicating potential liver toxicity. This is a concern for both.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (74.874) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (32.803), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.636 and -5.537). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.644 and -2.135), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.235) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.086), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-40.701) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.094), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (50.156) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (30.496), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.066 and 0.101).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.2 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher hERG risk and lower metabolic stability compared to Ligand A. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities with appropriate formulation strategies. The better metabolic stability of Ligand A is appealing, but the potency advantage of Ligand B is more critical for an enzyme inhibitor.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (67.43) is significantly better than Ligand B (100.29). A TPSA under 90 is preferred, and A is closer to this threshold, suggesting better permeability.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.414 and 1.178, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both acceptable, being less than 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (4) are both acceptable, being less than 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.622 and 0.672), indicating good drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (20.279) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (58.511). A DILI score below 40 is preferred, and A is well within this range, while B is approaching a concerning level.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (90.772) has a higher BBB score than Ligand B (54.246), but this is not a primary concern.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the magnitude is important. Ligand A (-4.545) is better than Ligand B (-5.315).
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.833) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.092).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.451 and 0.389), which is good.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (43.372) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.133), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a negative for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-31.083) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-11.21). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.042) has a slightly higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.053), but the difference is minimal.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-6.9) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase like SRC, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, but suffers from higher clearance and shorter half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and half-life, but very weak binding. The difference in binding affinity is very large (6.9 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol). A 6.9 kcal/mol difference is likely to outweigh the metabolic stability concerns, especially since Ligand A's clearance isn't extremely high. Solubility is poor for both, but similar.

**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (A: 29.12, B: 27.569), which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.495 and -5.592), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.779 and -3.832). This is a major issue for *in vivo* bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.031) has very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.84) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less ideal.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-22.606) has very low microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability, which is a major plus. Ligand B (22.682) has moderate clearance, less favorable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-19.905) has a very long in vitro half-life, further supporting its favorable metabolic stability. Ligand B (23.604) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.009, B: 0.869).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher logP, and moderate metabolic clearance. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower hERG risk), but its binding affinity is weaker and its logP is low, and both have poor solubility and permeability.
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both, the significantly improved binding affinity of Ligand B, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) metabolic stability, makes it the more promising candidate. Further optimization could focus on improving its solubility and reducing the DILI risk.

However, Ligand A excels in almost all ADME-Tox properties: QED, DILI, hERG, microsomal clearance, in vitro half-life, and P-gp efflux. The improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2) and reduced toxicity (lower hERG and DILI) of Ligand A are particularly important for kinase inhibitors, which often require chronic administration. While the affinity difference is substantial, the ADME profile of Ligand A is far superior. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety for a kinase inhibitor, the superior ADME profile of Ligand A outweighs the affinity difference.

**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability indicated by the Caco-2 and solubility values, Ligand A's significantly superior binding affinity (-9.5 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is the dominating factor. The binding affinity difference is so large that it is likely to overcome the solubility/permeability issues, especially considering that formulation strategies can often address solubility concerns. Ligand B has a better ADME profile overall, but its weak binding affinity makes it unlikely to be effective *in vivo*.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (334.463 Da) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (32.34) is significantly better than Ligand B (53.43). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, crucial for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (3.827 and 4.145) within the optimal range (1-3), suggesting good partitioning properties. Ligand B is slightly higher, which *could* lead to some off-target effects, but isn't a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (2 for A, 4 for B) counts, balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.922) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.769), indicating a more drug-like profile overall.
**DILI:** Ligand B (46.452) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (33.695), which is a positive attribute.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (87.088) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (49.748), but this isn't a major factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual and likely indicates a scale where lower values are worse. Ligand A (-5.015) is better than Ligand B (-5.294).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.133 and -4.686). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.857 and 0.704), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (91.761) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (50.748), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major concern for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.498 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-27.172 hours). The negative value for B is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.65 and 0.546), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand B's better binding affinity, the significantly worse metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, very short half-life) and poor solubility are major concerns. Ligand A, while having slightly weaker binding, presents a much more balanced profile with better metabolic stability, solubility (though still poor), and a higher QED score. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability is paramount.

**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.052 and 0.176), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (35.811) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (78.887), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-22.921) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-29.451), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.023).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme target. A 0.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and has a better QED score. While its solubility is worse than Ligand B, its superior potency and metabolic profile outweigh this drawback. Ligand B has a better DILI score and slightly better solubility, but its lower binding affinity and poorer QED are significant disadvantages. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is the deciding factor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (374.34 and 356.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (90.17 and 88.1) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.166) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.044) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (0) is good. Ligand B (2) is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (5) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands (0.572 and 0.603) are above 0.5, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (69.329) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (7.29). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (81.815) is higher than Ligand B (73.866).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.857 and -4.92), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.325 and -1.012), which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.728) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.263).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-4.795) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (34.108), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (18.738) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (47.706).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.547) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.049).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.4 kcal/mol). The difference is 1.1 kcal/mol, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, the significantly higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and much poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic, shorter half-life) make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker binding affinity, exhibits a much more favorable ADME-Tox profile, particularly its low DILI risk and improved metabolic stability. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are paramount.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (371.909 and 367.475 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (70.67) is significantly better than Ligand B (109.14). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, and A is comfortably within that range, while B is approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.785) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (-0.18) is below 1, potentially hindering permeation. This is a significant drawback for B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=4) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=4, HBA=7), as it has fewer potential issues with permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.638) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.477), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (20.473) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (44.513), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (68.127) is better than Ligand B (28.073).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP-like scales, lower values suggest poorer permeability. Ligand A (-5.156) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.671).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.08) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.418).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.641 and 0.035 respectively), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (1.833) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-12.708). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (18.642) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (41.059). This is another positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.016 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.6 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is clearly superior. While both have excellent binding affinity and low hERG/P-gp liabilities, Ligand A excels in crucial ADME properties: better logP, TPSA, QED, DILI risk, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B's low logP and higher DILI risk are significant concerns.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.706 and 0.802), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (80.341) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (69.135), though both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (77.705) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (57.193).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.668) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.536), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.81) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.54), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.581) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-0.123).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.131) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.095), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's lower logP and solubility, its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) make it the more promising candidate. The difference in binding affinity is substantial (>1.5 kcal/mol) and is the most important factor for an enzyme target. While the negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning, these can be addressed through formulation strategies. The slightly higher DILI risk for Ligand A is acceptable given its potency and stability.

**DILI:** Both ligands have relatively low DILI risk (20.318 and 21.326 percentile), which is good.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (81.194 and 83.288 percentile), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.365 and -4.528), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.158 and -1.548), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.863 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (46.083 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.356 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a potential data error or unusual behavior. Ligand A (10.816 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.092 and 0.095), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1 kcal/mol), a difference of 1.6 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, Ligand B stands out due to its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -7.1 kcal/mol). The difference in affinity is large enough to potentially overcome the ADME liabilities, *assuming* the negative half-life value for Ligand B is a data error. If the half-life is truly negative, it would disqualify Ligand B immediately. However, assuming it's an error, the potency advantage of Ligand B is the deciding factor for further investigation.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.104, Ligand B: 0.044).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.5 and -8.6 kcal/mol), which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Specific Prioritization:** For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both have excellent affinity and low hERG risk, Ligand A has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand A has a higher DILI risk and both have poor solubility and permeability. Ligand B has a much better DILI profile.
Considering the balance, the better metabolic stability of Ligand A is a significant advantage. However, the DILI risk is concerning. Given the similar binding affinities, the lower DILI risk of Ligand B makes it slightly more promising, despite its lower metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability issues are shared and would need to be addressed in further optimization.

Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, both ligands suffer from poor solubility, permeability, and concerning DILI risk. The negative half-life values are also problematic. Despite the superior binding affinity, the poor ADME properties of Ligand B are concerning. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a slightly better QED and hERG profile, but its binding affinity is very weak.
Given the critical importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, I would cautiously favor Ligand B *if* the negative half-life and solubility issues could be addressed through formulation or structural modifications.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, and a better half-life. However, Ligand A excels in safety (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic). The difference in binding affinity (-7.8 vs -6.3) is significant (1.5 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While Ligand A's lower logP and Caco-2 are concerns, the substantial improvements in safety and metabolic stability, combined with reasonable solubility, make it a potentially viable candidate. The high DILI and hERG risks associated with Ligand B are substantial drawbacks that would likely disqualify it early in development.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.459 and 350.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (65.78) is significantly better than Ligand B (104.21). A TPSA under 90 is preferred, and Ligand A is comfortably within that range, suggesting better permeability. Ligand B is pushing the upper limit for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have similar logP values (1.558 and 1.678), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, which generally leads to better permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.883) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.595), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (45.328 and 42.303), below the 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (55.215) is better than Ligand B (30.283), but neither is particularly high.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.514) is better than Ligand B (-5.272), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.148) is better than Ligand B (-2.324), though both are poor. Solubility is a concern for both, but slightly less so for A.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.393 and 0.265), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.545) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (21.168). Lower clearance is preferred for metabolic stability, so Ligand B is better here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (13.882) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand A (11.853), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.29 and 0.035), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most crucial factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has better TPSA, QED, solubility, and Caco-2 permeability, the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful. The slightly higher clearance and lower half-life of Ligand B are less concerning than the weaker binding of Ligand A.

**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, QED, and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), Ligand B has a *much* lower DILI risk. The poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are significant concerns. However, the negative half-life for Ligand B is a dealbreaker. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial. Ligand A's better metabolic profile and half-life, coupled with acceptable (though not ideal) DILI, make it the more promising candidate despite the shared solubility/permeability issues. These issues would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modification, but the starting point is better with Ligand A.

4. **HBD:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (A: 2, B: 3).
5. **HBA:** Both have acceptable HBA counts (A: 3, B: 5).
6. **QED:** A (0.849) is very good, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.44) is below the 0.5 threshold, suggesting a less favorable drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (74.99) is moderately high, indicating a potential liver toxicity risk. B (29.779) is excellent, indicating low risk.
8. **BBB:** A (80.419) is good, suggesting some potential for CNS penetration, although SRC is not typically a CNS target. B (17.022) is very low.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, which is unusual. Assuming these are log values, both have poor permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, which is unusual. Assuming these are log values, both have poor solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.644) is relatively low risk. B (0.047) is very low risk.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the DILI risk associated with Ligand A, its significantly superior binding affinity (-9.4 kcal/mol vs -7.3 kcal/mol) and better overall drug-likeness (higher QED) outweigh the concerns, especially considering the relatively moderate DILI risk. The excellent metabolic stability of Ligand B is attractive, but its poor logP, QED, and significantly weaker binding affinity make it a less promising candidate. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values of both compounds are concerning and would need to be addressed through further optimization.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand A** as the more viable drug candidate.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.734 and -4.721 respectively). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.369) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.547), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (91.636) has much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (47.555). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, which is crucial for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-15.364) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (22.412), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.659) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.364), which is slightly favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of 2.7 kcal/mol is quite large.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While it has some ADME liabilities (higher DILI, higher Cl_mic, shorter t1/2, and a higher logP), the significantly improved potency might overcome these issues. Ligand B has better ADME properties overall (lower DILI, better metabolic stability), but its weaker binding affinity is a major concern. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to favor Ligand A, assuming that formulation strategies can address the solubility issues.

While Ligand B has a better logP, QED, and binding affinity, the significantly better metabolic stability of Ligand A (lower Cl_mic and longer half-life) is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B might be overcome with further optimization, but improving metabolic stability is often more challenging. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerns, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
Therefore, I would select **Ligand A** as the more promising drug candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B boasts a superior binding affinity, Ligand A presents a much more favorable ADMET profile. Specifically, its significantly lower microsomal clearance and longer half-life are critical for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The lower hERG risk and P-gp efflux are also beneficial. The difference in binding affinity (-1.7 kcal/mol) is substantial, but the improved ADMET properties of Ligand A, particularly metabolic stability, are likely to translate to better *in vivo* efficacy. The improved solubility of Ligand B is a plus, but not enough to overcome the metabolic liabilities.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.475 and -4.681). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't fully defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.499 and -2.742). Again, the scale is unclear, but suggests poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.563) has slightly higher hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.381), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.399) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.463), suggesting better metabolic stability.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.135 and 0.235).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8). While the difference is small, it's within the range where it could be meaningful.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk and longer in vitro half-life. While Ligand A has slightly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), the DILI and half-life advantages of Ligand B are more important for an enzyme target. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B further supports its selection. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh this.

**DILI:** Ligand A (12.369) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (10.198), but both are well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 66.925, B: 68.864). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major differentiating factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.52) shows better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.859), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.779) is slightly better than Ligand B (-1.351) in terms of solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.381, B: 0.241), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (11.012) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.137). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (16.647) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-0.868). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux (A: 0.032, B: 0.026), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4) has a slightly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2). While the difference is small (0.2 kcal/mol), it's still a positive for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a slight edge in binding affinity, Caco-2 permeability, and solubility, and crucially, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). Ligand B has a much longer half-life. However, for a kinase inhibitor, metabolic stability is often more critical than a slightly longer half-life, as kinases are often subject to rapid metabolism. The small difference in binding affinity is less important than the metabolic advantage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.487 and 356.467 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (43.86) is significantly better than Ligand B (90.98). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B is approaching a level that could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.295) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.138) is quite low. A logP below 1 can indicate poor membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.682) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.429), suggesting a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (18.651) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (11.206), which is a positive attribute.
**BBB:** Ligand A (80.807) has better BBB penetration potential than Ligand B (63.862), though this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.662) exhibits better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.173). Higher values indicate better absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.156) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-0.851). Solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.607) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.13). This is a significant advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (22.737) has slightly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (20.927), indicating potentially lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.29) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-4.905). This is desirable for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.042) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.002), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.2 kcal/mol). Although both are good, the 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better overall. It excels in key ADME properties (logP, TPSA, solubility, permeability, hERG) and has a slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, the superior ADME profile and binding affinity of Ligand A make it the more promising drug candidate for SRC kinase inhibition.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.407 and 343.387 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (118.37 and 114.35) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.483) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.902) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 7 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 6 HBA) both meet the guidelines of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.544 and 0.828), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.191) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.062), which is preferable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (70.105) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (27.491), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.022 and 0.186), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.866 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (32.79 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (24.017 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-33.367 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely an error or indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.007), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and a slightly better logP, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs -8.7 kcal/mol) is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of 0.3 kcal/mol is substantial. The poor solubility and permeability are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag, however.
Considering the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the fact that the binding affinity difference is significant, I would choose Ligand B, but with a strong caveat that the negative half-life needs to be investigated and resolved.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both are low (0.041 and 0.049), so P-gp is unlikely to be a major issue for either.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4) is significantly stronger than Ligand B (-6.7), a difference of 2.7 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-9.4 kcal/mol vs -6.7 kcal/mol), a lower DILI risk, and a better hERG profile. However, it suffers from very poor Caco-2 permeability and low solubility, and a low logP. Ligand B has better solubility and permeability characteristics, but its affinity is considerably weaker, and its DILI risk is higher.
The large difference in binding affinity is the most important factor here. While the ADME properties of Ligand A are suboptimal, it's possible to improve these through medicinal chemistry efforts. It's much harder to significantly improve binding affinity. Given that we're targeting an enzyme, potency is paramount. The poor permeability and solubility of Ligand A are addressable through structural modifications, while a weaker binder may require a complete redesign.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.154 and 0.015).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, which are key for an enzyme target. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), the superior potency of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful. Both have concerning negative Caco-2 and solubility values, which would need to be addressed in further optimization.

**QED:** Ligand B (0.789) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.446), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (12.602) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.721). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (Ligand A: 81.698, Ligand B: 87.127), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and potentially problematic. However, the values are similar (-4.956 vs -4.775).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and concerning. Again, the values are similar (-3.153 vs -3.493).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.635) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.32), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (70.754) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.225), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-34.837) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-2.314). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.449) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.114), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B clearly wins on potency (binding affinity) and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). It also has a better QED score. While Ligand A has a lower DILI risk and P-gp efflux, the superior binding affinity of Ligand B is a decisive advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The similar, and problematic, solubility and Caco-2 values are a concern for both, but the potency and stability of Ligand B are more critical.

* **Affinity:** -6.8 kcal/mol - Good (strong binding)
**Comparison & Decision:**
Ligand A has a very poor binding affinity (0 kcal/mol), making it a non-starter regardless of other properties. While it has acceptable metabolic stability and low Pgp efflux, its extremely poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, coupled with high DILI risk, are significant drawbacks.
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity (-6.8 kcal/mol). While it also suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, its DILI risk is very low. However, its high microsomal clearance and negative half-life are major concerns. The negative half-life is likely an error in the data, but the high clearance is still problematic.
Despite the issues with solubility, permeability, and clearance, Ligand B is significantly more promising due to its binding affinity. The other issues might be addressable through further optimization, but without binding, there is nothing to optimize.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6). However, the difference is only 0.5 kcal/mol, and other factors are more important.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity and logP, Ligand A excels in critical ADME properties: significantly lower hERG risk, much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), better solubility, and lower P-gp efflux. The better QED score also supports its drug-likeness. The slightly lower Caco-2 permeability and logP of Ligand A are less concerning given the other advantages, and can potentially be addressed with further optimization.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (65.797) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (38.442), meaning it's metabolized faster and has lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (28.598) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-5.864), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.229 and 0.029).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.2 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is preferable despite the higher clearance. The lower DILI risk, better solubility, and lower hERG risk are significant advantages. While the clearance is higher, the excellent binding affinity suggests that a reasonable dose could still achieve therapeutic concentrations. The similar Caco-2 permeability is a concern for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. Ligand A's higher DILI and hERG risk are less desirable.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol vs -7.5 kcal/mol). However, its extremely high DILI risk (93.37) and very poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are significant drawbacks. The short half-life is also a concern.
Ligand B has a good QED score, a moderate DILI risk, and acceptable logP. While its metabolic clearance is higher and half-life shorter than ideal, these are less critical than the severe liabilities of Ligand A. Both compounds have poor Caco-2 and solubility.
Despite the slightly weaker binding affinity, **Ligand B is the more promising candidate**. The DILI risk is substantially lower, and the other ADME properties, while not perfect, are less problematic than those of Ligand A. The binding affinity difference of 1.2 kcal/mol, while noticeable, is unlikely to outweigh the severe toxicity and absorption issues associated with Ligand A. Further optimization of Ligand B could address the metabolic stability and solubility concerns.

**TPSA:** Both ligands (68.29 and 67.87) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands (2.746 and 2.069) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD and 4 HBA, which are acceptable.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.916) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.708), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (73.362) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (18.961). This is a significant negative for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration, but Ligand B (83.443) is slightly better than Ligand A (79.488). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, suggesting poor permeability. Ligand B (-4.539) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.051).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B (-2.533) is slightly better than Ligand A (-2.999).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.299) has a lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.553), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (33.841) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (39.973), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-2.445) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (6.515). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.149 and 0.175).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A. The difference of 1.4 kcal/mol is significant enough to potentially overcome some ADME liabilities.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior binding affinity and a lower hERG risk, but suffers from higher DILI risk, lower metabolic stability, and poorer solubility. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, slightly better solubility), and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, potency is paramount. The 1.4 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial. While the DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The lower metabolic stability and solubility are also addressable. The superior affinity of Ligand A outweighs its drawbacks at this stage.

**DILI:** Ligand A (27.414) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.402), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB isn't a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (92.555) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (76.309).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.952 and -4.682), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.226 and -2.412), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.615) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.244), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.927) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (71.419), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.68) has a more negative half-life, which is unusual and indicates a very short half-life. Ligand B (-18.932) is even worse. Both are problematic.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.109) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.123), which is slightly better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand A is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.5 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive advantage. Furthermore, it has lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a better QED score. While the half-life is concerning, the binding affinity is so much stronger that it could potentially be addressed through structural modifications. Ligand B's extremely poor binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, regardless of its other properties.

5. **HBA:** Ligand A has 3 HBAs, and Ligand B has 2. Both are below the 10 threshold.
6. **QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.824, B: 0.78), indicating good drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (55.913) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (15.355). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (A: 72.237, B: 71.811). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but a neutral point.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.762 and -4.84). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, negative values can sometimes occur in modeling and don't always translate directly to poor *in vivo* absorption.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.935) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.384). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.632) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.346), but both are relatively low.

13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (-12.798) has a negative in vitro half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates a modeling issue. Ligand A (5.204) has a reasonable half-life.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux (A: 0.171, B: 0.117).
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a >1.2 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A has superior affinity and better metabolic stability. However, it has a higher DILI risk and lower solubility. Ligand B has a problematic negative half-life prediction, which is a major red flag.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the higher DILI risk and lower solubility of Ligand A, its significantly stronger binding affinity and more reasonable half-life, coupled with the completely unrealistic half-life prediction for Ligand B, make it the more promising candidate. The affinity advantage is substantial enough to potentially overcome the ADME drawbacks, especially if medicinal chemistry efforts can address the DILI and solubility issues.

2025-04-17 16:01:58,236 - INFO - Reasoning:
Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.415 and 353.379 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.25) is well below the 140 threshold and suitable for oral absorption. Ligand B (126.66) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.746) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.795) is below 1, which might hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 7. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.787 and 0.627), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 81.078, which is concerningly high (>60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 48.623, which is preferable.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (65.374) and Ligand B (57.193) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.638) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-5.488) is also poor, but slightly less so.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.575) has poor aqueous solubility, which could hinder formulation and bioavailability. Ligand B (-1.623) is better, but still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.355) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.024) has an even lower hERG risk, which is also excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (108.935) has a moderate microsomal clearance, suggesting moderate metabolic stability. Ligand B (11.731) has very low clearance, indicating high metabolic stability, which is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (16.965) has a moderate half-life. Ligand B (12.45) has a shorter half-life, which is less desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.199 and 0.006), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.0 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, but suffers from poor solubility, poor permeability, and a high DILI risk. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, better solubility), but weaker binding affinity. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage. However, the high DILI risk is a major concern. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand B is also a considerable benefit.
Despite the affinity difference, the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is too high to proceed without significant further optimization. Ligand B, while weaker in binding, presents a more favorable starting point for development due to its better safety profile and metabolic stability.

13. **t1/2:** A (47.927) has a longer in vitro half-life than B (-4.895). This is a positive for A, but the negative value for B is concerning.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.217) has lower P-gp efflux than B (0.173), suggesting better bioavailability.
15. **Affinity:** B (-10.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than A (-9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better half-life and Pgp efflux, Ligand B is superior overall. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.2 vs -9 kcal/mol), lower DILI risk, and *much* better metabolic stability (-31.537 Cl_mic vs 74.378) outweigh the slightly lower half-life. The better solubility also contributes to its favorability. The negative Caco-2 values are a concern for both, but the substantial affinity advantage of B makes it the more promising candidate.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.541 and 0.759), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (20.279) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (37.146), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (38.852) has a lower BBB penetration than Ligand B (63.242). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.218) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.735) is slightly better, but still poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.395) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.295).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.176) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.366), which is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.489) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (13.079), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.557) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-2.245), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.048) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.032), which is favorable.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (381.948 and 360.445 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (19.37) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B (58.64) is still reasonable, but higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.458) is slightly above the optimal 1-3 range, potentially leading to solubility issues. Ligand B (2.387) is within the ideal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is also good. Both are well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.736 and 0.687, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (34.82 and 30.748, respectively), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (87.553 and 87.088), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.873 and -4.567). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are often predictions and can be unreliable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.047 and -2.425). This is concerning, as poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.978) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.656), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.139 mL/min/kg) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (20.315 mL/min/kg), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.965 hours) has a significantly shorter half-life than Ligand A (56.974 hours). This is a major disadvantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.784) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.294), which is less desirable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold.
**Conclusion:**

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-10.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a superior binding affinity, the ADME properties of Ligand B are considerably better. Specifically, Ligand B has significantly lower hERG risk, lower microsomal clearance, a longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. The solubility and Caco-2 values are similar and both are poor, but these can be addressed with formulation strategies. The slight increase in DILI risk for ligand A is also a concern. The difference in binding affinity (-9.7 vs -10.2) is not large enough to overcome the substantial ADME advantages of Ligand B, especially considering the importance of metabolic stability and reduced toxicity for an oncology drug.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.215 and 0.081).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 0.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. While Ligand A has higher DILI and clearance, these are less critical than potency in this case. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification, but the strong binding provides a solid foundation for optimization.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.621 and 0.778), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (74.68) has a moderate DILI risk. Ligand B (11.206) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (29.275) and Ligand B (83.249) are not particularly relevant here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also concerning, indicating poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.216 and 0.505), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.878) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (38.349), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (29.307) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-9.221), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.102).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The affinity difference is not large enough to overcome other significant issues.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk, better logP, and lower HBD/HBA counts are substantial advantages. Although both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the better overall ADME profile of Ligand B makes it the preferred choice for further optimization.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 1 HBD and a reasonable number of HBAs (3 and 4 respectively), satisfying the criteria.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.731 and 0.808), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.97) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (7.06), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (81.47 and 83.68), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.

Ligand A is the better candidate despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. Its significantly lower DILI risk, better TPSA, and slightly improved metabolic stability outweigh the small difference in binding. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerning for both, and would need to be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications. However, the lower toxicity profile of A makes it the more promising starting point.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.842) has a very strong drug-like profile. Ligand B (0.677) is still reasonable, but less optimal.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.169) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (25.436) is even lower, indicating a safer profile regarding liver toxicity.
**BBB:** Ligand A (77.162) has moderate BBB penetration. Ligand B (95.851) has very high BBB penetration, but this isn't a priority for a non-CNS target.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.577) and Ligand B (-5.227) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. The scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.129 and 0.884 respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-7.0 and -7.6 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Both ligands have excellent binding affinity. However, Ligand B has a better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2), lower DILI risk, and slightly better binding affinity. The main drawback of Ligand B is its higher logP and poor solubility. Ligand A has better solubility, but worse metabolic stability and a shorter half-life. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, metabolic stability is crucial. The slight advantage in binding affinity of B, combined with the lower DILI risk, outweighs the slightly higher logP. The poor solubility of both is a major issue that would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the acceptable range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (369.447 Da) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the ideal range.
**TPSA:** Ligand B (64.55) is significantly better than Ligand A (127.51). Lower TPSA generally improves cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.674) is slightly below the optimal range (1-3), potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.209) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits, but Ligand B's lower HBD count could be slightly advantageous for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.625 and 0.57), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (80.807) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand A (42.458). This is a major concern, as liver toxicity is a common reason for drug failure.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (93.486) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (54.595), but this is not a primary concern here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.604) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.451).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.003 and -4.574). This is a significant drawback, potentially impacting bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.046) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.53), making it safer from a cardiotoxicity perspective.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.292 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (102.009 mL/min/kg). This indicates that Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.012) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.317), which is beneficial for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.7 kcal/mol and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.6 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other significant differences.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability. Its superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, and lower P-gp efflux outweigh the slightly lower logP and TPSA. The binding affinity is comparable. The solubility and permeability issues could be addressed with formulation strategies, but mitigating high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability is far more challenging.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (18.337 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (84.399 mL/min/kg). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand B, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.516 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (23.178 hours). This is also a positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.314 and 0.175).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-9.4 and -9.2 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.2 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good potency and drug-like properties, Ligand B is the more promising candidate due to its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer in vitro half-life. These factors are crucial for kinase inhibitors, as they often require sustained exposure to exert their therapeutic effect. The slightly better solubility and lower P-gp efflux of Ligand B also contribute to its advantage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (343.515 and 346.387 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (36.44) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B (95.86) is higher, but still potentially acceptable, though it might hint at lower permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.231) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-0.606) is quite low, potentially causing permeability issues and reduced binding.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is favorable. Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.762 and 0.731), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (1.551) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (60.721) has a significantly higher DILI risk, placing it in the high-risk category. This is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (91.586) shows better penetration than Ligand B (41.295).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.989) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.881) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.125) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-0.63) has slightly better aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.875) has a low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.052) has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.028) has a moderate clearance. Ligand B (-0.095) has very low clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-12.859) has a very long half-life. Ligand B (0.052) has a very short half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.26) has low P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.006) has very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.4 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, so it doesn't override other significant differences.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand A is the superior candidate. The primary driver is the significantly lower DILI risk (1.551 vs 60.721). While Ligand A has poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The superior metabolic stability of Ligand B is attractive, but the high DILI risk is a major red flag.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.534 and 0.55), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (74.913) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (76.774), but both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have acceptable BBB penetration, but not a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.075) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a concern. Ligand B (-5.49) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.205 and -2.403). This is a potential issue for formulation and bioavailability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (371.459 and 351.407 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (88.18) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption and is also favorable for potential CNS penetration, although that's not a primary concern for SRC. Ligand B (129.37) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.749) is within the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand B (-1.015) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, but isn't a dealbreaker.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 4 HBD and 7 HBA, still within the guidelines, but slightly higher, potentially impacting permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.681) has a good drug-likeness score, exceeding 0.5. Ligand B (0.451) is below 0.5, indicating a less favorable drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (47.654) has a low DILI risk, well below the 60 threshold. Ligand B (27.801) also has a very low DILI risk.
**BBB:** Ligand A (70.027) shows reasonable BBB penetration, while Ligand B (23.769) is quite low. This isn't a major concern for SRC, but it's a positive for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.552) and Ligand B (-5.659) both have negative values, which is unusual. These values likely represent a logP-scaled permeability, where negative values indicate poor permeability. Ligand B appears slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.868 and -1.033 respectively). This is a significant concern for both, but might be mitigated by formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.526) has a low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.034) has an extremely low hERG risk, which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.24) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-5.026) has *negative* clearance, which is not physically possible and likely indicates a data error or an extremely stable compound. This is a huge advantage for B, assuming the data is reliable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-60.24) has a very short half-life, which is a major drawback. Ligand B (6.536) has a short half-life, but is significantly better than A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.048) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.002) has very low P-gp efflux, which is even better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite solubility concerns for both, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-10.7 vs -8.9 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. The extremely low P-gp efflux and hERG risk are also highly favorable. While the negative microsomal clearance is suspect, if accurate, it indicates exceptional metabolic stability. Ligand A suffers from a very short in vitro half-life and lower affinity, making it less attractive.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better DILI and P-gp profile, Ligand B stands out due to its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2). For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability is a crucial factor. The similar binding affinities make the ADME advantages of Ligand B decisive.

**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (84.684 and 88.174), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.349 and -4.697), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.553 and -2.829), indicating very poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.517) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.33), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (8.583 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (76.679 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-13.543 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests a problem with the data or the compound itself. Ligand A (31.112 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.261 and 0.147).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.7 kcal/mol is significant.
**Conclusion:**

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinity (-8.0 and -8.6 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values. The primary driver is the significantly lower DILI risk and the much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, although the negative half-life is concerning). While both have poor predicted permeability and solubility, metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial for kinase inhibitors. The slightly better binding affinity of Ligand B is also a plus. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major concern that would require further investigation, but the other factors favor it over Ligand A.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.479 and 347.419 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (83.29) is better than Ligand B (98.14), both being acceptable, but A is closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.962) is optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (0.461) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 6, both within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.791) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.5), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (26.018) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (39.356), which is a significant advantage. Both are below the 40 threshold, but A is preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (85.498) is better than Ligand B (61.923).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative (-5.074 and -4.909), indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative (-2.288 and -2.15), indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.34) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.024), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.565) has lower clearance than Ligand B (18.79), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.392) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-5.129), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both are very low (0.076 and 0.05), suggesting minimal P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME shortcomings. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor logP, which could severely impact its permeability and bioavailability. It also has a higher DILI risk and lower QED. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board (QED, DILI, hERG, metabolic stability, half-life, logP) but significantly weaker binding affinity.
Given the substantial affinity difference, the benefit of Ligand B's binding outweighs the ADME concerns. While optimization would be needed to address the logP and solubility issues, the strong binding provides a solid starting point.

The difference in binding affinity (-7.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is so large that it likely outweighs the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A, *provided* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further structural modifications. The metabolic instability is also a concern, but can potentially be mitigated. Ligand B, with no binding affinity, is not a viable candidate regardless of its ADME properties.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.5 and -3.78). This is also concerning and suggests poor solubility, which could limit bioavailability.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.234 and 0.263).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-4.335) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.453), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-21.038) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. This is a data error. Ligand B (-4.939) also has a negative half-life, indicating a data error.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.03 and 0.222).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the questionable Caco-2 and half-life data, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.5 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. It also has a much lower DILI risk and higher BBB penetration. While its microsomal clearance is higher than Ligand A's, the potency difference is likely to be more critical. The solubility issues of both compounds would need to be addressed through formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand B (42.85) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (17.76), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (69.64% and 77.94%), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or modeling. However, given that we're comparing them, we can look at the relative values. Ligand A (-4.955) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.095).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again suggesting a potential data issue. Ligand A (-1.921) is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.225 and 0.244), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-6.951) has *much* lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (47.814). This indicates significantly better metabolic stability for Ligand B, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.442 hours) has a lower half-life than Ligand A (9.835 hours). While a longer half-life is generally preferred, the substantial difference in clearance is a more significant factor.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.036 and 0.014).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol), although the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better TPSA and solubility, Ligand B's dramatically improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, though a lower in vitro half-life) and slightly better binding affinity outweigh these minor drawbacks. The lower DILI risk for Ligand B is also a significant positive. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but the improved metabolic stability is a more critical factor for an enzyme target.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (404.26 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (336.395 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (59) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (80.05) is also below, but closer to the limit.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.053, B: 3.34), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.836, B: 0.723), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (55.293) and Ligand B (64.521) both have acceptable DILI risk, below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (66.305) is slightly better than Ligand B (50.679).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is undefined.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.773) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.425), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (81.022) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (34.23). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for enzymes.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (40.65) and Ligand B (43.995) have comparable in vitro half-lives.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.702) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.042), which is better for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (over 2 kcal/mol difference) and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and P-gp efflux, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-8.9 vs -6.8 kcal/mol) is the deciding factor. The potency advantage is large enough to compensate for the slightly higher clearance and potentially lower solubility. The hERG risk is also lower for Ligand A.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.463 and 372.447 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.95) is significantly better than Ligand B (119.39). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target. Ligand B is approaching the upper limit for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.491) is slightly better than Ligand B (-0.833) as it is closer to the optimal range of 1-3. Ligand B is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 7 HBA). Lower numbers are generally better for permeability.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.644) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.371), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (6.863) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (62.233). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (72.858) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (48.895), although this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.931) is significantly better than Ligand B (-5.342). Higher values indicate better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.079) is better than Ligand B (-1.765).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.412) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.117), which is a crucial safety parameter.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (13.328) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.787). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (45.599) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-34.013). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.017) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.014).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is significant, but not overwhelming.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in ADME properties (TPSA, logP, solubility, DILI, hERG, Caco-2) and has acceptable binding affinity. However, its metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short t1/2) is a concern. Ligand B has a better QED, longer half-life, and slightly better affinity, but suffers from higher DILI risk, lower solubility, and poorer TPSA.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and potency are key. While Ligand B has a slightly better affinity and significantly better half-life, the substantially higher DILI risk and poorer ADME profile of Ligand B are concerning. The improved ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly the lower DILI risk and better solubility, outweigh the slightly lower affinity. Further optimization of Ligand A to improve its metabolic stability would be a logical next step.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (128.34) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good oral absorption, but still reasonable. Ligand B (58.64) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.185) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (1.815) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, acceptable values. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.518 and 0.533), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (46.84) has a moderate DILI risk, but is still acceptable. Ligand B (25.553) has a very low DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (71.772) shows moderate BBB penetration. Ligand B (89.376) is better, but BBB isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.665) has poor Caco-2 permeability, which is a major concern. Ligand B (-4.414) is better, but still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.787 and -2.237). This is a significant drawback for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.122) has very low hERG risk, a strong positive. Ligand B (0.571) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (25.246) and Ligand B (26.547) have similar, moderate microsomal clearance values.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.805) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-21.711) has a *negative* half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound. This is a critical flaw.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.032 and 0.123), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's negative in vitro half-life, the significantly superior binding affinity (-7.5 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. The negative half-life is likely a data error, and even if it isn't, the potency advantage is so large that it could potentially be overcome with structural modifications to improve metabolic stability. Ligand A's poor Caco-2 permeability and low logP are also significant drawbacks. Ligand B also has a much lower DILI risk.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-3.102 and -3.933). This could pose formulation challenges, but is not a deciding factor given the other differences.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.197) has a slightly lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.583), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (81.418) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (19.18). This means Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (28.41) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-14.391), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand B (0.658) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand A (0.088), meaning Ligand A is less likely to be pumped out of cells.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better metabolic stability and lower P-gp efflux, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.9 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Additionally, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk. While its logP is optimal and Ligand A's is low, the binding affinity and safety profile of Ligand B are more important in this case. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

2. **TPSA:** A (73.44) is good, below the 140 threshold. B (96.97) is approaching the upper limit for good oral absorption, but still acceptable.
3. **logP:** A (3.084) is optimal. B (-0.449) is significantly lower, which could hinder membrane permeability and absorption.
4. **HBD:** Both have acceptable HBD counts (A: 1, B: 2), well below the limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** Both have acceptable HBA counts (A: 5, B: 5), below the limit of 10.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.527, B: 0.546), indicating drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** A (91.004) has a high DILI risk, which is concerning. B (20.706) has a very low DILI risk, a significant advantage.
8. **BBB:** A (62.776) is moderate. B (54.246) is also moderate, and since SRC is not a CNS target, this is not a major factor.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.496) is poor. B (-5.22) is also poor, but slightly worse.
10. **Solubility:** A (-4.933) is poor. B (-0.714) is also poor, but slightly better.
11. **hERG:** A (0.85) is low risk. B (0.076) is very low risk, a further advantage.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (97.215) is high, indicating rapid metabolism and low metabolic stability. B (32.979) is much lower, suggesting better metabolic stability.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
* **Affinity:** Ligand A has a substantially better binding affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, both have very poor *in vitro* half-lives.
* **Solubility:** Ligand B has slightly better solubility.
* **hERG Risk:** Ligand B has a much lower hERG risk.
* **DILI Risk:** Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk.
**Decision:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, the high DILI risk, poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, short t1/2), and poor Caco-2/solubility make it a less attractive candidate. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, demonstrates a much more favorable safety profile (low DILI, low hERG) and better metabolic stability. The difference in affinity (1.5 kcal/mol) *could* be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, while mitigating the liabilities of Ligand A would be more challenging.
Therefore, I recommend prioritizing **Ligand B**.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (340.387 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential. Ligand B (72.88) is lower than Ligand A (87.12), which is slightly better.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.372) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.086) is within the optimal range (1-3). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.875) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.643), indicating a more drug-like profile overall.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.929) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (10.237). This is a substantial concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (65.839) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (32.687), but this isn't a major factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is unspecified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.349 and 0.454 respectively), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.632) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-5.406). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both have very negative half-life values (-29.527 and -28.987), which is problematic and suggests rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.006 respectively), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity and better metabolic stability. However, it suffers from a low logP, higher DILI risk, and poor solubility. Ligand B has a better logP, significantly lower DILI risk, and is slightly better in TPSA. The difference in binding affinity (2.3 kcal/mol) is substantial and could outweigh the drawbacks of Ligand A, *if* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through formulation or further chemical modification. However, the high DILI risk for Ligand A is a major concern. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, and the significant difference in DILI risk, I would favor Ligand B.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.084 and 0.124). This is a positive attribute for both.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.854) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (13.702), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have negative in vitro half-life values (-21.59 and -19.566), which is nonsensical and indicates a problem with the data or the compounds themselves.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.033 and 0.008).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.0 and -8.1 kcal/mol).

However, it suffers from a higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic), and worse hERG risk. Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG) and better metabolic stability. The solubility is poor for both. The half-life is concerning for Ligand A.
Despite the affinity advantage of Ligand B, the superior safety profile and metabolic stability of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate. The difference in affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A. The DILI and metabolic concerns with Ligand B are harder to address without major structural changes.

**hERG:** Ligand A (0.616) has a low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.097) has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (32.475) has moderate clearance. Ligand B (-14.561) has *negative* clearance, which is impossible and indicates a significant issue with the data or model. This is a major red flag.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.425 hours) is good. Ligand B (1.998 hours) is very short, indicating rapid metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.069) has low P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.004) has very low P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol), although both are excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, the most significant issue is the negative microsomal clearance for Ligand B. This is physically impossible and indicates a serious problem with the data. Ligand A, while not perfect, has a more reasonable profile with acceptable ADME properties, a good QED score, and strong binding affinity. Therefore, Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.706) is excellent, indicating good drug-likeness. Ligand B (0.29) is poor, suggesting potential issues.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.781) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (95.89) has a high DILI risk.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.793) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.285) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-1.983 and -3.924, respectively).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.063) has very low hERG risk. Ligand B (0.942) has a moderate hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-17.618) has very low (good) microsomal clearance, indicating high metabolic stability. Ligand B (62.507) has high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.961) has a short half-life. Ligand B (109.016) has a very long half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.3 kcal/mol), both are good. The difference of 0.5 kcal/mol is not significant enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A has a better overall profile despite the low logP and solubility. It has a significantly better QED score, lower DILI risk, and much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, although the half-life is short). Ligand B has a better logP but suffers from a poor QED, high DILI risk, and poor metabolic stability. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. Therefore, Ligand A is the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (362.901 and 351.422 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (52.57) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (69.72) is still under 140, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.281) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects, but still within a reasonable range. Ligand B (0.505) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability and potentially reduce potency.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 2 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (1 HBD, 4 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher HBA count could be a minor concern.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.771 and 0.783, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.161) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (26.406), but both are below the 40 threshold, indicating low risk.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (70.997 and 76.541), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands show poor Caco-2 permeability (-4.411 and -4.881). This is a concern for oral bioavailability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.092 and -1.681). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.765) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.158). Ligand B is significantly better here.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.483) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.284), indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is preferable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (37.114) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (7.527), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.599) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.01), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better TPSA, half-life, and P-gp efflux, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.9 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) and lower hERG risk are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the superior potency could compensate. The solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (366.4) is slightly higher than B (346.5), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (136.55) is borderline for good oral absorption, while B (58.64) is excellent. This favors B.
3. **logP:** A (0.729) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. B (2.406) is optimal. This strongly favors B.
4. **HBD:** A (3) is acceptable. B (1) is even better, potentially improving permeability.

6. **QED:** Both A (0.589) and B (0.795) are good, indicating drug-like properties, but B is significantly better.
7. **DILI:** A (64.133) is moderately high risk. B (18.418) is excellent, indicating low liver injury risk. This is a major advantage for B.
8. **BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but B (76.735) is better than A (69.678). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage for B.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.795) is very poor, suggesting poor absorption. B (-4.844) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.408) is poor. B (-3.35) is also poor, but slightly better.
11. **hERG:** Both A (0.326) and B (0.26) have low hERG risk, which is good.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While A has a much better binding affinity, B excels in metabolic stability, DILI risk, and has better overall ADME properties. The large difference in affinity is a significant consideration, but the poor ADME profile of A, particularly the poor solubility, Caco-2 permeability, and DILI risk, are major drawbacks. The improved metabolic stability and lower toxicity of B are highly desirable.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, the superior ADME properties and safety profile of Ligand B make it the more viable drug candidate. The difference in affinity, while substantial, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, while addressing the ADME issues of Ligand A would be far more challenging.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a better half-life and slightly better BBB penetration, the significantly higher DILI risk and worse solubility are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite its lower logP and poorer half-life, has a much better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and better solubility. The difference in binding affinity is minimal. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, **Ligand B** is the more viable drug candidate.

**BBB:** Ligand B (68.71) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (55.29). However, BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it is hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.58) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.901). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (101.98) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (146.69), indicating better metabolic stability. This is crucial for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (12.81) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-12.63). This is a positive for Ligand B, but the negative value for Ligand A is concerning.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.268) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.404), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. However, it has higher DILI risk, higher hERG liability, and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better safety profiles (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is very weak.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, and the fact that SRC is not a CNS target, I would prioritize Ligand B, assuming the ADME issues can be addressed through further optimization. The strong binding affinity provides a solid foundation for development.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (81.50) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (-0.662), suggesting lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-23.68) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely indicates a prediction error. Ligand B (11.47) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.33) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-8.0 and -6.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A has a significantly better affinity. However, the questionable half-life and higher clearance of Ligand A are concerning.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity and better solubility, the extremely low predicted in vitro half-life and higher clearance are major red flags. The negative half-life is particularly concerning, suggesting a significant issue with the prediction or the molecule's inherent instability.

4. **HBD:** Ligand A (0) is preferable to Ligand B (3). Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (5) is better than Ligand B (3). Both are acceptable, but lower is generally better.
6. **QED:** Both are similar and acceptable (A: 0.762, B: 0.704), indicating good drug-like properties.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (30.05) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.193). This is a significant advantage for A.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (96.472) is excellent, while Ligand B (46.064) is poor. While SRC isn't necessarily a CNS target, higher BBB is rarely a detriment.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-4.178) is better than Ligand B (-5.046), indicating better intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** Both are poor (-3.699 and -3.596). This is a concern for both, but could be addressed with formulation strategies.
11. **hERG:** Both are low risk (A: 0.598, B: 0.428).
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (56.455) is better than Ligand B (-23.821). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability, crucial for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-19.655) is better than Ligand B (19.872). A negative value suggests a longer half-life, which is desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.645) is better than Ligand B (0.055). Lower P-gp efflux improves bioavailability.
15. **Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7). However, the difference is less than 1.5 kcal/mol, and can be overcome by other factors.

For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While Ligand B has slightly better affinity, Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), DILI risk, and Pgp efflux. Solubility is a concern for both. The superior metabolic profile and safety profile of Ligand A outweigh the slightly weaker binding affinity.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the more promising drug candidate.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.579 and -4.872). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, negative values can sometimes occur in modeling and don't necessarily preclude further investigation.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.048 and -3.715), which is also concerning. Solubility issues can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.122) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.383) has a slightly higher, but still acceptable, hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-12.283) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (50.935), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (36.364) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (1.112), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.014) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.056) has slightly higher efflux. Both are relatively low.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.638 and 0.73), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (40.054) is at the upper limit of acceptable DILI risk, while Ligand B (12.757) has a significantly lower and much more favorable DILI risk.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (68.36) is higher than Ligand A (48.546), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, also unusual. This is a significant concern, but again, the scale is unknown.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.286) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.674), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (7.275) has a higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (-5.849) has a *negative* clearance, which is highly unusual and suggests exceptional metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.23) has a short half-life. Ligand B (-24.567) has an extremely long half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.128 and 0.036).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a >1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the far superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity, lower DILI risk, better logP, lower HBD count, and dramatically improved metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic and very long half-life) outweigh any potential concerns about the negative Caco-2 and solubility values (given the unknown scale). Ligand A's weak binding affinity and higher DILI/clearance make it a less attractive option.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is better than Ligand B (4 HBD, 5 HBA). Lower counts are generally preferred for better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.675 and 0.558, both >0.5).
**DILI:** Ligand A (38.581) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (48.313), indicating a safer profile. Both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (74.447) is better than Ligand B (52.074).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.195) is better than Ligand B (-5.36), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.54) is better than Ligand B (-2.59), which is crucial for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.685 and 0.627, lower is better).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (92.783) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (7.925), meaning faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure. This is a significant drawback for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (45.444) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.917), indicating better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.461 and 0.104).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8 and -9 kcal/mol). The difference is minor and doesn't outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having better TPSA, logP, solubility, and DILI, Ligand B's significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and much longer t1/2) is a critical advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The longer half-life translates to potentially less frequent dosing and more sustained target engagement. While Ligand A has better solubility, the metabolic issues are more concerning for an *in vivo* drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (385.247 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (338.323 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.68) is better than Ligand B (96.18). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption, though this is less critical for kinases than for CNS targets.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.907, B: 2.845), falling within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 8 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD, <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (A: 0.756, B: 0.516), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand A is slightly better.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, relatively high DILI risk (A: 77.627, B: 79.721). This is a concern for both, and further investigation would be needed.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration (A: 57.154, B: 71.268), which is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.68 and -4.649). This is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (A: -4.984, B: -3.153). This is also a major concern, indicating very poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.471, B: 0.604), which is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a significantly higher microsomal clearance (97.133) than Ligand A (51.987). This suggests Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a better in vitro half-life (44.646 hours) than Ligand B (-42.939 hours). The negative value for B is problematic, suggesting very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.332, B: 0.815).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. It has a better TPSA, QED, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and a significantly better in vitro half-life. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, and concerning DILI risk, the improved pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand A make it preferable. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed through formulation or structural modifications, but the metabolic stability advantage is harder to achieve.

However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability), and a higher P-gp efflux liability. It also has a less optimal logP. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better QED, and lower P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is significantly weaker, and its in vitro half-life is unrealistic. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both are concerning, but the affinity difference is substantial. Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the fact that the other issues with Ligand A *might* be addressable through further optimization, I would choose Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (364.515 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (348.403 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.23) is significantly better than Ligand B (105.48). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.603) is within the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (-0.709) is slightly below, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (3). Fewer HBDs generally improve permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) is preferable to Ligand B (6).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.833) is significantly better than Ligand B (0.565), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (28.228) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.581). Both are below the 40 threshold, but A is better.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 51.493, Ligand B: 50.407). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.416 and -5.538), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so the absolute difference isn't huge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.087 and -0.597), indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.112, Ligand B: 0.154).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.094) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-11.273). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (7.554) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (1.48). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.057, Ligand B: 0.018).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 1 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better drug-like properties (QED, TPSA, logP, HBD/HBA, DILI) and acceptable hERG risk. However, its metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and half-life are poor.
Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better solubility. While its TPSA and logP are less ideal, the improved affinity and metabolic profile are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to compensate for the slightly less favorable physicochemical properties.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.4 and 347.4 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (91.6 and 93.7) are reasonably low, suggesting good potential for cell permeability, though not ideal for CNS penetration.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.106) is slightly hydrophilic, potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (0.456) is better, falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 5/4 HBA, respectively, which are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.729 and 0.809), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.4) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (27.4), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.054 and -4.821), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.626 and -1.5), which is a major drawback for oral bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.044) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.117) is slightly higher, but still acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-15.331) has significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand A (-8.551). This is a crucial advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-21.148) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-3.784), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.017) shows minimal P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.016) is also very low.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor, as a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other issues.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility for both, Ligand B is significantly more promising. Its substantially improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and, critically, much stronger binding affinity (-8.0 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweigh the slightly higher DILI and logP. The hERG risk is also acceptable. The poor solubility/permeability would need to be addressed in formulation, but the potency and metabolic profile of Ligand B make it the superior candidate.

**Comparison & Decision:**
Both ligands have excellent binding affinity. However, Ligand A suffers from very poor solubility and permeability, despite its good metabolic stability. Ligand B has better physicochemical properties (TPSA, logP, solubility, permeability) and a much lower DILI risk. The major drawback of Ligand B is its high microsomal clearance and short half-life.
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) is crucial. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability, the poor solubility and permeability of Ligand A are likely to severely limit its bioavailability *in vivo*. Ligand B's issues with metabolic stability *could* be addressed through structural modifications during lead optimization, while fixing the solubility/permeability of Ligand A would be a much more significant challenge. The lower DILI risk for Ligand B is also a major advantage.
Therefore, despite the metabolic stability concerns, Ligand B is the more promising starting point for drug development.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.021 and -2.181). This is also concerning, indicating poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (Ligand A: 0.168, Ligand B: 0.284). This is a positive attribute.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 38.403 mL/min/kg, while Ligand B has 26.797 mL/min/kg. Lower is better for metabolic stability, so Ligand B is slightly favored here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 24.494 hours, while Ligand B has -23.912 hours. The negative value for Ligand B is problematic and suggests rapid degradation or an issue with the assay. Ligand A is significantly better in this regard.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.086, Ligand B: 0.041), which is desirable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity (-8.7 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds, Ligand B emerges as the more promising candidate. Its significantly better binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.8 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. It also exhibits a lower DILI risk and lower microsomal clearance, indicating better safety and metabolic stability. The negative in vitro half-life for Ligand B is a serious concern, but the strong binding affinity might justify further investigation into this issue. Ligand A's positive half-life is good, but its weaker binding affinity makes it less attractive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 353.423 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (83.81) is better than Ligand B (110.85). Both are below 140, but A is closer to the optimal for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.312) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.965) is slightly below 1, which could potentially hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (2) and Ligand B (3) are both acceptable, being less than 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (5) and Ligand B (4) are both acceptable, being less than 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.519 and 0.488), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.8) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (29.818), which is a major advantage. Both are below the 40 threshold.
**BBB:** Ligand A (61.923) has a better BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (49.477), although BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5 and -5.486). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, we'll consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.599 and -1.16). This is also concerning, and suggests formulation challenges.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.371) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.089). This is a critical advantage, as it reduces the risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-9.218) has a *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-18.737), indicating significantly improved metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.711) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (4.558).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.029) has a much lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.003), suggesting better oral bioavailability and potentially better CNS exposure if needed.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7), a difference of 0.9 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A is significantly superior in almost all ADME-Tox properties. The lower DILI risk, substantially improved metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), lower hERG inhibition, and lower P-gp efflux of Ligand A are crucial advantages for a kinase inhibitor. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the ADME profile of Ligand A is far more favorable. The 0.9 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can likely be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (403.255 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (338.415 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.88) is better than Ligand B (106.75). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability. Ligand B is above the preferred threshold of 140, which could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.69, B: 2.436), falling within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=7) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, potentially leading to better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.664, B: 0.635), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (70.492) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (59.907). This is a concern for Ligand A, but not disqualifying at this stage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have acceptable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (71.85) is slightly better than Ligand B (59.519). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.07 and -5.386), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.693 and -3.138), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.852, B: 0.828), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (48.239) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (67.033), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (22.983 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (13.368 hours), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.62, B: 0.089).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and TPSA, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.8 vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While both compounds have poor solubility and permeability, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more easily addressed through formulation strategies or prodrug approaches than improving the affinity of Ligand A. The slightly higher DILI risk for Ligand A is also a concern.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.324) has a moderate microsomal clearance, while Ligand B (0.897) has very low clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.463) has a moderate half-life, while Ligand B (17.908) has a significantly longer half-life, which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.043 and 0.028).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.4 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.8 kcal/mol is significant and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and excellent hERG risk. While its logP is low and solubility is poor, the strong binding affinity is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. Ligand A has better DILI risk and BBB penetration, but these are less critical than potency and metabolic stability in this case. The solubility issue is a concern for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (113.24) is slightly above the preferred <140 for good absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (69.64) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.323) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.173) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 3 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.831 and 0.816), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 72.392, which is concerning (high risk >60). Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 18.379, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A (60.915) and Ligand B (83.327) both have moderate BBB penetration. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.009 and -4.906), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading; the absolute permeability is likely low for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.325 and -2.522), also unusual and suggesting poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.119) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.316) also has a low hERG risk, but slightly higher than A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-3.893) has a negative clearance, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (2.126) has a moderate clearance, which is less ideal.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-7.551) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely an error in the data. Ligand B (-10.931) also has a negative half-life, indicating a data issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.04).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate despite some questionable ADME data. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.5 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target like SRC. The DILI risk is much lower for Ligand B. The negative values for clearance and half-life for both compounds are concerning and suggest data errors. The low logP for Ligand A is a significant drawback. While both have poor predicted permeability and solubility, the stronger affinity of Ligand B makes it more likely to be effective *in vivo* even with these limitations, especially if formulation strategies can address the solubility issue.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (353.427) is slightly better.
2. **TPSA:** A (116.48) is better than B (53.33), but both are acceptable for an enzyme target.
3. **logP:** A (-1.741) is suboptimal, potentially leading to permeability issues. B (4.123) is high, raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects.
4. **HBD:** A (2) and B (0) are both acceptable.
5. **HBA:** A (8) and B (5) are both acceptable.
6. **QED:** Both are good (A: 0.57, B: 0.661).
7. **DILI:** A (20.706) is significantly better than B (47.654). This is a major advantage for A.
8. **BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. B (80.574) is higher, but irrelevant here.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.581) is very poor, suggesting poor absorption. B (-4.508) is also poor, but slightly better.
10. **Solubility:** A (0.22) is very poor. B (-4.462) is also poor, but better than A.
11. **hERG:** A (0.04) is excellent, very low risk. B (0.885) is moderate, posing a potential cardiotoxicity concern.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-9.038) is excellent, indicating high metabolic stability. B (105.97) is very high, suggesting rapid metabolism.
13. **t1/2:** A (13.828) is good. B (5.715) is moderate, but less desirable than A.

15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-8.3) is 1.2 kcal/mol stronger than A (-7.1). This is a substantial difference.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Decision:**
While Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, the drawbacks are substantial. Its high logP, poor DILI score, high Cl_mic, and moderate hERG risk are all concerning. Ligand A, despite its weaker affinity, has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG), excellent metabolic stability (Cl_mic), and low Pgp efflux. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A are concerning, but these could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The affinity difference, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A, whereas mitigating the ADME/Tox liabilities of Ligand B would be a much more challenging task.
Therefore, I recommend proceeding with **Ligand A**.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.429 and 360.445 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is better than Ligand B (69.64) as it's closer to the <140 threshold for good absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.998 and 2.182), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (2) as lower HBDs generally improve permeability.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have the same number of HBA (3), which is within the acceptable limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.642 and 0.627), indicating good drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (18.728) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (11.632). This is a major advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (81.776 and 78.635), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.576 and -4.585), which is unusual and needs further investigation. It suggests poor permeability.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.809 and -2.282), which is also concerning and suggests poor aqueous solubility.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.453 and 0.337), which is good.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (10.79) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (37.203), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a critical advantage for an enzyme target.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (-11.551) has a more negative in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-8.857). This is unusual and suggests a very short half-life, which is a disadvantage.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.075 and 0.063).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5). While the difference is small, it's still a positive.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. Despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values, its significantly lower DILI risk and much lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability) are crucial advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The slightly better binding affinity also contributes to its favorability. The negative half-life is a concern, but could be addressed through structural modifications. Ligand B's higher DILI risk and higher clearance make it less attractive.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, its high DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite the slightly weaker affinity, presents a much more favorable ADMET profile: lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability, and improved solubility. The difference in binding affinity (1.8 kcal/mol) is substantial, but the ADMET advantages of Ligand B are compelling, especially considering the potential for optimization of Ligand B's affinity.
Therefore, I would choose **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.196) has lower P-gp efflux, which is better. Ligand B (0.335) has slightly higher efflux.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A boasts a much stronger binding affinity, its extremely high DILI risk is a major red flag. The poor solubility of both compounds is also concerning. However, the significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and lower P-gp efflux of Ligand A, combined with its superior affinity, make it a more promising starting point for optimization *if* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications. Ligand B's high logP and high clearance are also problematic.

**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (44.126 and 42.536), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand B (92.284) has a significantly higher BBB penetration score than Ligand A (53.974). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less important.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.816) has a lower Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.66). Both are negative, indicating poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.486) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-4.878). Solubility is crucial for bioavailability, making Ligand A more favorable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.271 and 0.394), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (24.499) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.512). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key priority for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (9.95) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (2.882).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.037 and 0.136).

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is unspecified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.135) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.767) has a moderate hERG risk, which is less desirable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (15.217) than Ligand B (21.776), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a negative half-life (-10.197), which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data. Ligand B has a half-life of 14.36 hours, which is good.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.027 and 0.081), which is favorable.

**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.23 and 0.10), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (17.5) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-12.8). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-8.95) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-17.2), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.04 and 0.016).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-7.5 and -7.8 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The difference is not substantial enough to override other significant issues.

**DILI:** Ligand A (37.728) has a slightly better DILI score than Ligand B (42.109), both are acceptable (<40 is good).
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (85.266 and 88.833), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.057) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.661) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have poor aqueous solubility (-2.593 and -2.812). This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.125 and 0.738), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (27.48) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (42.242), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.227) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-21.295).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.003 and 0.174).

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (389.83) is slightly higher than Ligand B (344.375), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (46.92) is significantly better than Ligand B (122.03). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, and A is well within this range, while B is approaching the upper limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.222) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.049) is too low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=7) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.629, B: 0.606), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (A: 60.915, B: 60.217), placing them in a moderate risk category. This isn't a major differentiator.
**BBB:** Ligand A (83.87) has a much better BBB percentile than Ligand B (24.622). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.028) is better than Ligand B (-5.555), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.464) is better than Ligand B (-2.056), which is crucial for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.713) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.1). Lower is better, so A is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (63.07) has higher clearance than Ligand B (15.07). Lower clearance is desired for metabolic stability, making Ligand B more favorable here.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (3.479) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-2.92). This is a significant advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.735) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.02), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.3 kcal/mol and -8.4 kcal/mol). This is not a deciding factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in TPSA, solubility, Caco-2 permeability, hERG, and P-gp efflux. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer half-life. The logP of Ligand A is a concern, but its superior solubility and permeability might mitigate this. The slightly better hERG profile of A is also a plus. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the improved ADME properties of Ligand A (solubility, permeability, reduced efflux) outweigh the slightly higher logP and clearance, especially considering the comparable binding affinity.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and *much* better metabolic stability and half-life. However, Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability, and better solubility. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and half-life are crucial. While Ligand A's DILI and hERG profiles are attractive, its poor metabolic stability and short half-life are major drawbacks for an enzyme inhibitor. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B, combined with its superior metabolic profile, outweighs the benefits of Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.271, Ligand B: 0.046).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its significantly higher binding affinity. However, it suffers from higher logP, higher clearance, and lower half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, better t1/2) and solubility, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (SRC), potency is paramount. The 1.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and likely outweighs the ADME drawbacks of Ligand A, *provided* that solubility and permeability can be improved through formulation or further chemical modification. The poor solubility and permeability are significant concerns, but the strong binding suggests a good starting point for optimization.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.754) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.577), suggesting a more drug-like profile overall.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.712) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (6.398), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (74.758) has a good BBB percentile, while Ligand B (98.139) has an excellent one. However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.991) and Ligand B (-4.422) both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.302 and -3.903 respectively). This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.492) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.967), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (82.365) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.762), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (27.127 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (13.025 hours), which is also a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.238) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.745), which is better.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol). This is a crucial factor, and the 1.7 kcal/mol difference is quite significant, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs -8.3 kcal/mol), lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and longer half-life are critical advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A is appealing, but the substantial potency advantage of Ligand B is more important in this case.

Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI) and improved metabolic stability, but its lower binding affinity and logP are concerning.
Given the enzyme-kinase target class, metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial. While the affinity difference is notable, the high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major red flag. The slightly better logP and lower DILI of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate, despite the weaker binding. Further optimization of Ligand B to improve its affinity would be a logical next step.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (344.371 and 346.383 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (105.82) is slightly above the optimal <140, while Ligand B (97.64) is well within. This favors Ligand B slightly for absorption.
**3. logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.961 and 1.249), falling within the 1-3 range.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is acceptable.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 7 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.817) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.572), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (75.766) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (50.291), which is a concern. Ligand B is clearly better here.
**8. BBB:** Both have relatively low BBB penetration (45.638 and 40.442). This isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.904 and -4.649), indicating poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.554 and -2.924), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is also a significant drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.085 and 0.053), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (12.066) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.265), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-3.886) has a more negative in vitro half-life, indicating a longer half-life than Ligand B (-9.532). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.029 and 0.01).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.1), a difference of 0.5 kcal/mol. This is a notable advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better DILI score, slightly better affinity, and a lower TPSA. However, Ligand A has a significantly better QED score, lower Cl_mic, and a longer in vitro half-life. The improved metabolic stability and drug-likeness of Ligand A are crucial for an enzyme target like SRC kinase, and the 0.5 kcal/mol difference in affinity can potentially be optimized during lead optimization. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are shared drawbacks that would need to be addressed regardless of which lead is chosen. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the better metabolic stability and drug-likeness of Ligand A outweigh the slightly better affinity of Ligand B.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (352.475 and 371.503 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.87) is slightly higher than Ligand B (62.32), but both are well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.724) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.076) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 6 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.79) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.417), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (15.82) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (22.8). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (81.698) is better than Ligand B (65.607). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight positive for A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.452 and -4.794). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability *in vitro*. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading without context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.98 and -0.937). Similar to Caco-2, these values are unusual and suggest poor solubility *in vitro*.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.297) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.485), which is a critical advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.196 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (43.493 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.111 hours) has a very short half-life, while Ligand B (-18.714 hours) has a very long half-life. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.034 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar binding affinities (-6.7 and -6.9 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in key areas for a kinase inhibitor: lower DILI risk, lower hERG liability, and significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While its half-life is poor, this can potentially be addressed through structural modifications. Ligand B has a longer half-life, but suffers from higher DILI and hERG risks, and poorer metabolic stability. The slightly lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, the superior safety profile and metabolic stability of Ligand A outweigh its shorter half-life.

2025-04-17 16:17:40,947 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [345.443, 82.53, 1.746, 2, 4, 0.77, 31.718, 29.508, -4.826, -1.738, 0.188, 17.652, -12.62, 0.096, -6.6]
**Ligand B:** [377.583, 44.29, 3.711, 1, 7, 0.774, 59.713, 90.849, -5.223, -3.504, 0.895, 72.725, 30.456, 0.372, -8.9]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (345.443) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
2. **TPSA:** A (82.53) is better than B (44.29). Both are below 140, but B is significantly lower, which is good for oral absorption.
3. **logP:** A (1.746) is optimal, while B (3.711) is nearing the upper limit. B's higher logP could lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions.
4. **HBD:** A (2) is preferable to B (1). Both are within the acceptable limit of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (4) is better than B (7). Both are under 10, but A is closer to the optimal range.
6. **QED:** Both are identical at 0.77, indicating good drug-likeness.
7. **DILI:** A (31.718) is significantly better than B (59.713). A is well within the low-risk category, while B is approaching the higher-risk threshold.
8. **BBB:** B (90.849) is much better than A (29.508). However, as we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), BBB is not a primary concern.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.826) is better than B (-5.223). Higher values indicate better absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-1.738) is better than B (-3.504). Both are negative, indicating poor solubility, but A is less poor.
11. **hERG:** A (0.188) is significantly better than B (0.895). A has a very low risk of hERG inhibition, while B has a moderate risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (17.652) is much better than B (72.725). A has lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** B (30.456) is better than A (-12.62). B has a longer half-life, which is desirable.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (binding affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While B has a significantly better binding affinity, it suffers from higher DILI risk, poorer metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic), and a higher hERG risk. A has better ADME properties across the board except for half-life and binding affinity. The 2.3 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial, but the ADME profile of B is concerning.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand B, the superior ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly its lower DILI and hERG risk, and better metabolic stability, makes it the more promising drug candidate. The potency difference, while significant, can potentially be addressed through further optimization, whereas mitigating the ADME liabilities of Ligand B would be more challenging.

5. **HBA:** Both A (3) and B (4) are within the acceptable limit of 10.
6. **QED:** A (0.836) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.735) is still good, but slightly lower.
7. **DILI:** A (39.705) is very good, low risk. B (23.769) is excellent, even lower risk.
8. **BBB:** A (59.364) is moderate. B (69.407) is better, but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.87) and B (-5.105) are both very poor. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.388) and B (-1.691) are both poor. Solubility is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors, and both compounds struggle here.
11. **hERG:** A (0.239) is very low risk. B (0.144) is even lower, excellent.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (14.797) is moderate. B (-15.142) is excellent, indicating very high metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (27.523) is good. B (-3.914) is very poor, suggesting rapid metabolism.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.232) is low efflux, good. B (0.017) is very low efflux, excellent.
15. **Affinity:** A (-6.9) is excellent. B (0) is very weak binding. This is a *major* difference.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
While both compounds have issues with Caco-2 permeability and solubility, the *massive* difference in binding affinity is decisive. Ligand A has a strong binding affinity (-6.9 kcal/mol) while Ligand B has no binding affinity (0 kcal/mol). Ligand B also has a very poor *in vitro* half-life. Ligand A has a better balance of properties, with acceptable DILI and hERG risk, and reasonable metabolic stability. The solubility and permeability issues could be addressed with formulation strategies, but without binding, Ligand B is not a viable starting point.
Therefore, I recommend **Ligand A**.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (362.417 and 348.443 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have a TPSA of 59.08, well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values within the optimal range (1.39 and 1.207).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 0 HBD and 4 HBA, which is acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.6, indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (25.436) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (22.722), but both are well below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (85.498) shows better BBB penetration than Ligand B (77.976), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.269) has slightly better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.692).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.415) has slightly better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.658).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.579) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.336), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (43.3 mL/min/kg) has a significantly *lower* microsomal clearance than Ligand A (24.918 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (1.92 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-0.455 hours). This further supports its superior metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.04) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.079), which is a slight advantage.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.4 kcal/mol). This is the most crucial factor, as a 2.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (329.403 Da) is slightly preferred as it's closer to the lower end, potentially aiding permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (47.04) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (93.11) is higher, potentially hindering absorption, although still within a reasonable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.845) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target effects. Ligand B (-0.268) is too low, likely causing poor membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is favorable. Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED values (A: 0.727, B: 0.548), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (84.684) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (9.926). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (74.06) is higher than Ligand B (25.126).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.938) is very poor, indicating very low intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.196) is also poor, but comparable to A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.857) is very poor. Ligand B (-0.557) is also poor, but better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.751) has a moderate hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.04) has a very low risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (79.597) has a high clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (-7.232) has a negative clearance, which is excellent and indicates very high metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-13.213) has a very short half-life. Ligand B (-4.89) is better, but still relatively short.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.447) has moderate P-gp efflux liability. Ligand B (0.002) has very low efflux liability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME issues.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from poor solubility, poor permeability, high DILI risk, high metabolic clearance, and a short half-life. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, lower hERG risk, lower P-gp efflux), but significantly weaker binding affinity.
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand A, the combination of poor ADME properties, particularly the high DILI risk and poor metabolic stability, makes it a less viable candidate. The difference in binding affinity (2.1 kcal/mol) is substantial, but not enough to overcome the serious ADME liabilities. Ligand B, while weaker in binding, presents a more balanced profile with significantly better safety and pharmacokinetic properties. Further optimization of Ligand B to improve its binding affinity would be a more promising strategy.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.565 and 0.752), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (18.147) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (56.223). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (63.784 and 62.97). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.445) has better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.162). This suggests better intestinal absorption for Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.246) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-3.998). This is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.193) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.471), which is a crucial safety advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (34.559 and 36.47), suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-18.942) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-7.799). This is a positive for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.155 and 0.215).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, permeability, and hERG risk) but weaker binding affinity. Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity but has higher DILI risk, poorer solubility, and a higher hERG risk.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (SRC), potency (binding affinity) is paramount. The 1.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and likely outweighs the ADME concerns of Ligand B, *provided* further optimization can mitigate the DILI and hERG risks. While Ligand A is safer, a weaker binder is less likely to be effective.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (A: -1.397, B: -1.609). This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.07, B: 0.415).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (6.747) has a lower Cl_mic, suggesting better metabolic stability than Ligand B (41.336).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.238) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-23.354), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux (A: 0.006, B: 0.068).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable binding affinities (A: -8.8 kcal/mol, B: -8.2 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life). However, Ligand B has a much better TPSA, logP, QED, and Caco-2 permeability. The poor solubility of both is a major concern, but the better permeability of B, combined with its superior QED, makes it a more promising starting point for optimization. The slightly better affinity of A isn't enough to overcome its poorer ADME profile.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.762 and 0.751), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand B (35.479) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (69.678). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand B (44.203) has a higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (33.734), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the magnitude is similar, and we'll consider other factors.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand B (-1.744) is better than Ligand A (-3.62), indicating better solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand B (0.19) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand A (0.658). This is a critical advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (408.34 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (346.366 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.22) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and suitable for kinase inhibitors. Ligand B (101.8) is still within a reasonable range, but less optimal than A.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.125) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects, but still within a tolerable range. Ligand B (0.469) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability and reduce bioavailability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=6) both fall within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.777, B: 0.723), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (26.018) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (57.697), which is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (A: 74.292, B: 71.501), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor not specifically targeting the CNS.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. This is concerning and suggests potential absorption issues. However, the negative values are on a similar scale, so this doesn't strongly favor either.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the values are similar and don't differentiate the ligands.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.894) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.235), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (67.49) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.305). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.127) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (5.857), further supporting the better metabolic stability of Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.373) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.007), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and lower DILI and hERG risks, which are crucial for a kinase inhibitor. While its logP is slightly high and clearance is higher than Ligand B, the substantial affinity advantage is likely to be decisive. Ligand B's better metabolic stability is appealing, but the weaker binding and higher DILI/hERG risks are more concerning.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (369.462 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (336.435 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.74) is higher than Ligand B (49.41). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, which is good.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.525) is slightly higher than Ligand B (2.663), both are within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 0 HBD and 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 1 HBD and 2 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Ligand A (0.815) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.679), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (50.174) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (42.264), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (83.443) has a higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (63.203). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher BBB is not detrimental.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.273) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.603).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. Ligand A (-3.979) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.153).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.424 and 0.223, respectively).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (85.547) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (16.808). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (5.396 hours) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-4.79 hours). The negative value for Ligand A is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.322 and 0.109, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better QED and slightly better permeability/solubility, Ligand B is the superior candidate. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.3 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of slightly lower QED and permeability. More importantly, Ligand B demonstrates much better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) which is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors. The negative half-life of Ligand A is a major red flag.

Specifically, its significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and improved Caco-2 permeability are compelling advantages. The difference in binding affinity (0.8 kcal/mol) is significant, but can potentially be overcome with further optimization. The hERG risk is higher for Ligand B, but not prohibitively so. Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand B appears to be the more viable drug candidate due to its superior ADME profile and acceptable potency.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (A: 0.61, B: 0.599), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (4.382) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (79.449). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (77.898) is slightly higher than Ligand A (68.127). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.7 and -4.597). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very poor permeability. However, since both are similarly poor, it doesn't differentiate them.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.064 and -3.764). This is also concerning, and suggests poor solubility. Again, they are similarly poor.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.582) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.848), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.39) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (51.88), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-10.103) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-3.249). This is a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.163 and 0.234).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5). This is a 0.4 kcal/mol difference, which is not huge, but noticeable.

Specifically, Ligand A demonstrates lower DILI risk, lower hERG inhibition, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and better TPSA. The solubility and Caco-2 values are poor for both, but similar. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, the improved metabolic stability and reduced toxicity of Ligand A are more important than the minor affinity difference.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (71.7) is better than Ligand B (96.33). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.691) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.362) is quite low. A low logP can hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 5 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.682 and 0.665), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.789) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (49.477). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (50.679) is slightly higher than Ligand A (28.344), but this is not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.953) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.032), but both are concerning.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-4.436) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.361).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.763) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.051), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (73.516) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.149). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (102.195) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-6.903), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.63) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.01). Lower efflux is generally preferred.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. It also has better metabolic stability and slightly better solubility. However, it suffers from a very low logP, higher DILI risk, and a very low hERG score. Ligand A has a better logP, lower DILI and hERG, and a longer half-life, but its binding affinity is weaker and it has higher clearance.
Given the significant potency advantage of Ligand B, and the fact that the other issues *could* be addressed through further optimization, I would choose Ligand B as the more promising candidate. The potency difference is substantial enough to warrant prioritizing it for further development.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.598, B: 0.614), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.424) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (15.2) has an even lower DILI risk, which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (A: 71.307, B: 79.411). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.973) has poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-5.651) also has poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (A: -2.684, B: -3.332). This is a major concern.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, but suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and a nonsensical half-life. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and acceptable hERG risk. The solubility of both is very poor. However, the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, despite its other drawbacks, is a major factor. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a red flag, but the binding affinity is so much stronger that it could be worth investigating further to understand the source of this data anomaly.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (435.3 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.5 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (110.6) is higher than Ligand B (52.65). While <140 is generally good for oral absorption, Ligand A is approaching a potential concern. Ligand B is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 1.012, B: 2.326), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 7 HBA, while Ligand B has 3. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10, but Ligand B is preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.695, B: 0.802), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.043) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (7.794). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (72.276) and Ligand B (87.941) are both reasonable.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is undefined.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.278) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.37), but both are relatively low and acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (35.963) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (23.506), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-7.101) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a huge red flag. Ligand A (59.125) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.052, B: 0.047).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a decisive advantage, as a 1.5 kcal/mol advantage is considered significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the unusual negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility, the most important factors for an enzyme inhibitor are potency and metabolic stability. Ligand B has a *much* stronger binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). However, the negative in vitro half-life for Ligand B is a critical flaw. The DILI risk for Ligand A is concerning.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity and metabolic stability, and assuming the negative half-life for Ligand B is an error, I would initially favor Ligand B. However, the negative half-life is a showstopper. Therefore, I will select Ligand A, acknowledging the DILI risk as a potential issue to address in further optimization.

**DILI:** Ligand A (27.065) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (78.441). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less crucial for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (86.274) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (57.736).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP values, Ligand A (-4.837) shows slightly better permeability than Ligand B (-5.094).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logS values, Ligand A (-3.103) shows slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-4.269).
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.666 and 0.492).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.402) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (48.331), suggesting better metabolic stability.

**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.825 and 2.29), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 4 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, potentially improving permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED scores (0.71 and 0.797), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (12.718) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (73.09). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (76.541 and 71.229), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor not specifically targeting the CNS.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. However, the values are similar (-4.36 and -4.859).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.67) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-3.213), although both are poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.283 and 0.403), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (77.294) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (6.91). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-11.955) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-19.347), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.038 and 0.144).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have identical binding affinities (-9.0 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), the significantly lower DILI risk for Ligand A is a crucial advantage. Given the enzyme-kinase target class, minimizing potential toxicity is paramount. The similar binding affinities mean potency isn't a differentiating factor. The slightly better solubility of Ligand A is also a minor benefit. Therefore, Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (21.488) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (61.906), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (39.926) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (3.899), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.274) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.065), which is a positive attribute.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-7.5 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B excels in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and DILI risk. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior properties across most other key ADME parameters (TPSA, logP, QED, solubility, permeability, hERG, P-gp efflux, and half-life). Given the equal binding affinity, the better ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly its permeability and solubility, makes it a more promising candidate. While the lower metabolic stability of Ligand A is a concern, it can potentially be addressed through structural modifications during lead optimization.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.703 and 0.669), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.043) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (38.62). This is a significant concern, as lower DILI is preferred.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand A (78.247) is slightly better than Ligand B (60.644).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can sometimes be overcome with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.812) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.383). Lower hERG is preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (50.935) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (92.293), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.951) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (1.112). This is generally desirable, but the difference is less important given Ligand B's better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.68) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.056), which could reduce bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor, and the 1.1 kcal/mol advantage is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's slightly better MW and half-life, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) outweigh the drawbacks of its higher TPSA and slightly lower BBB. The binding affinity difference is particularly important, as it's a primary driver of efficacy for enzyme inhibitors.

**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (71.307 and 77.627), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.778) and Ligand B (-4.525) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.776 and -4.262). This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.655) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.132), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.339) has significantly better metabolic stability (lower clearance) than Ligand B (73.106).
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.755 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-15.964 hours). The negative value for ligand B is concerning and likely an error or indicates very rapid degradation.

**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBA, well within the limit of 10. Ligand B has 6 HBA, still acceptable but higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.676 and 0.816), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (24.699) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (45.56). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (73.827 and 72.237), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and potentially problematic. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly worse (-1.581 vs -4.153).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.959) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.236). This is a concern for Ligand A, but not prohibitive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (100.055) has very high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (19.959) has much lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (76.537) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-4.929) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a major issue with the data or the compound itself.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.822) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.025) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (0). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh other issues.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a lower DILI risk, and a reasonable half-life. However, it suffers from high logP, high microsomal clearance, and a slightly elevated hERG risk. Ligand B has better metabolic stability and P-gp efflux, but its binding affinity is extremely weak and its in vitro half-life is nonsensical. The very poor binding affinity of Ligand B is a dealbreaker, even with its better metabolic properties. While Ligand A has some drawbacks, its superior potency makes it the more promising candidate, assuming the solubility issues can be addressed through formulation.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.718 and 0.602, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (11.128) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (14.889), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (78.868) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (53.625).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.96) has a more negative Caco-2 value, suggesting lower permeability than Ligand B (-5.286). However, both are poor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.622) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-1.807), though both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.552) shows a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.343), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (37.43) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.387), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-12.889) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (4.425), which is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.092) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.037), which is a positive.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.7 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The affinity difference is small and likely less important than the ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and a significantly longer half-life and lower Cl_mic, Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI and hERG) and better TPSA. The poor solubility and permeability of both are concerning, but the superior safety profile of Ligand A, combined with its acceptable ADME properties, makes it the more promising candidate. The longer half-life of Ligand B is attractive, but the higher DILI risk is a significant concern.

**8. BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (63.048 and 70.027). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but higher is slightly preferred.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.922 and -4.788). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with permeability prediction. However, the values are very close, so it's unlikely to be a deciding factor.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.829 and -4.496). Similar to Caco-2, this is concerning, but the values are close.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.219) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.586), which is a significant advantage.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (71.371) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (68.064), indicating potentially lower metabolic stability.

The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but comparable. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, the combination of better metabolic stability (longer half-life) and lower hERG risk for Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate, despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. The affinity difference, while significant, isn't so large that it overrides the safety and PK advantages of Ligand B.

Ligand B has a much better half-life but higher DILI risk and worse metabolic stability. The solubility for both is poor. The small advantage in binding affinity for Ligand A is unlikely to outweigh the significant pharmacokinetic drawbacks of both compounds.
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and a significantly lower DILI risk, its extremely short half-life is a major concern. Ligand B's longer half-life is a significant advantage, even with the higher DILI risk, as it suggests the potential for a more reasonable dosing regimen.

While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly improved ADME properties, specifically lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance, and a longer in vitro half-life. These factors are crucial for a viable drug candidate targeting an enzyme like SRC kinase. The small difference in binding affinity is likely outweighed by the superior pharmacokinetic profile of Ligand A.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.657 and 0.809), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.373) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.563), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.282) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (34.548), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.769) shows poor Caco-2 permeability, suggesting poor intestinal absorption. Ligand B (-5.211) also shows poor Caco-2 permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-0.916 and -1.374). This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.069 and 0.066). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (53.747) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-17.754). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (9.129 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (-0.227 hours). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.018 and 0.043).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have comparable and strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.4 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is unlikely to outweigh other factors.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzyme targets: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (337.379 Da and 349.387 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (89.45) is excellent, under the 140 threshold and good for absorption. Ligand B (116.76) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.809) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.188) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (3 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (4 HBD, 5 HBA) are both within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.637 and 0.509), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (70.88) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (44.552), which is preferable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (52.268) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (27.491), but this is not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.26 and -5.347) which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.351 and -1.335) which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.726) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.128), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.008) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (14.292), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (10.774) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-16.743), which is a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.191 and 0.011).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's better TPSA and lower DILI risk, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.7 vs -8.1 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are crucial advantages for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. While the low logP and negative solubility/permeability are concerning, the potency advantage is substantial. Further optimization could address these ADME issues, starting with increasing logP and solubility.

**DILI:** Ligand A (92.788) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (60.993). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (83.443) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (65.374), but this is less critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Ligand A (-4.839) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.006).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-6.253) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-3.389), but both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.777) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.915), but both are acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (78.798) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (25.624). This suggests Ligand A is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (96.61) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (37.551), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.231) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.668), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (A: -8.3 kcal/mol, B: -8.5 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands exhibit strong binding affinity, Ligand A is the more promising candidate due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and despite the poor solubility, the DILI risk is the major drawback. Ligand B has a lower DILI risk, but its higher metabolic clearance and shorter half-life are significant liabilities for a kinase inhibitor.

**7. DILI:** Ligand B (79.604) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand A (67.584), making A more favorable in terms of liver toxicity. Both are above the preferred <40, but B is significantly higher.
**8. BBB:** Ligand A (69.833) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (56.611). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage for A.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.329 and -5.306). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or a very poor permeability. However, given that both are similarly poor, this doesn't differentiate them.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.803 and -3.612). This is also concerning, suggesting poor solubility. Again, both are similarly poor, so it doesn't differentiate them.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.134 and 0.19). This is excellent.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:** For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning negative values for Caco-2 and solubility, and the impossible negative half-life values for both, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its superior binding affinity (-8.2 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. It also has a better QED score and lower DILI risk. The negative half-life values are a red flag and require investigation, but the substantial affinity difference makes Ligand A the better starting point for optimization.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.369 and 358.429 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (77.59) is slightly higher than Ligand B (67.43). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but neither is optimized for CNS penetration (ideally <90).
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.956 and 2.763), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.742 and 0.767), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (45.095) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.989), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (76.541 and 77.2), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.989 and -4.684). This is unusual and requires careful interpretation. Negative values often indicate issues with the assay or the compound's behavior in the assay. It's difficult to draw firm conclusions without more information.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.331 and -2.613). Similar to Caco-2, negative values are problematic and suggest poor solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show low hERG inhibition risk (0.935 and 0.342), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-33.162) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-47.938), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (31.167 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-15.13 hours). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.233 and 0.091).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar strong binding affinities (-9.3 and -8.3 kcal/mol).
**Conclusion:**
While both compounds have good binding affinity and acceptable DILI/hERG profiles, Ligand A is the superior candidate due to its significantly improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). The solubility and Caco-2 permeability issues are concerning for both, but the improved PK profile of Ligand A outweighs these concerns, especially given the strong binding affinity. Further work would be needed to address the solubility issues, but the metabolic advantage is substantial.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.031) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.238), suggesting better oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (A: -9.1 kcal/mol, B: -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.9 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to overcome the other significant differences.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, especially the enzyme-specific priorities (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), **Ligand A is significantly more promising**. It has better solubility, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, reasonable t1/2), lower DILI risk, better Caco-2 permeability, and lower P-gp efflux. While both have good binding affinity and hERG profiles, the ADME properties of Ligand A are far superior. Ligand B's negative half-life is a critical flaw.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (3 and 2 respectively) and HBA (4 each) counts.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.602 and 0.787), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (14.889) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (70.958). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (53.625) and Ligand B (45.754) are both low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values which is unusual and indicates poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values which is also unusual and indicates poor solubility.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.037 and 0.021).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and good binding affinities (-8.7 and -8.3 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite similar binding affinities, Ligand A is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk. While both have issues with permeability and solubility, the DILI risk is a critical factor for drug development. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning and would require further investigation, but the lower DILI risk makes Ligand A the more promising candidate. Ligand B's extremely high metabolic stability is appealing, but the elevated DILI risk is a major concern.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is preferable to Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) as lower counts generally improve permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.833 and 0.788), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (34.82) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (54.25). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (88.87) is higher than Ligand B (20.63), but it's not a primary concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.588) has a worse Caco-2 permeability compared to Ligand B (-5.135). Lower values indicate lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.23) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.674).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.854 and 0.455), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (102.55) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (11.58). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (29.92) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-16.56). This is a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.796 and 0.459).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's still a positive for Ligand B.

**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (87.98%), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a very low DILI risk (20.047%), a major advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for SRC, but Ligand B (73.711%) has better BBB penetration than Ligand A (44.009%).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, suggesting poor solubility. Again, the scale is unclear, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.191) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.312) is a bit higher, but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.782) has much lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability. Ligand B (9.148) has high clearance, which is a significant drawback.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.131) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-23.37), further supporting its metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.158) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.051) has even lower efflux, which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B stands out due to its significantly superior binding affinity (-7.4 vs -9.4 kcal/mol) and *much* lower DILI risk (20.047% vs 87.98%). While Ligand B has higher microsomal clearance and a slightly lower logP, the strong binding and low toxicity are critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The difference in binding affinity is substantial (>1.5 kcal/mol), making Ligand B the more promising candidate despite its ADME liabilities. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major red flag.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.144) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.065), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). While affinity is paramount, the difference of 0.6 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh the significant ADME advantages of Ligand A.
**Overall:** Ligand A demonstrates a superior ADME profile, particularly regarding metabolic stability (Cl_mic), solubility, and hERG risk. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, the advantages of Ligand A in key ADME parameters, crucial for enzyme inhibitors, make it the more promising drug candidate.

**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.643) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.163), which is a major advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (5.589) has a better (lower) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-7.115), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.889) has a better (longer) in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-13.912), further supporting its improved metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.151) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.036), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.8 and -7.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. The difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold that would definitively swing the decision.

**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 4 HBA, both are below the 10 threshold.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.562 and 0.817), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 31.291, which is good (low risk). Ligand B has a DILI risk of 12.834, even better.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and potentially problematic, suggesting poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and the negative values are not necessarily indicative of zero permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.299 and 0.468).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 24.111 mL/min/kg, which is moderate. Ligand B has a Cl_mic of 21.645 mL/min/kg, also moderate.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a t1/2 of 4.595 hours, while Ligand B has a negative t1/2 of -17.786 hours, which is not physically possible and indicates a potential data error or issue with the prediction.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.6 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol advantage, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.862) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.347) is slightly better, but still poor. This suggests absorption issues for both, but more pronounced for A.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.011) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-1.705) is better. Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability, favoring Ligand B.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.547) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.722). Lower is better here, favoring B.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.66) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (42.145), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for Ligand A.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5). While both are excellent, the difference of 0.6 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other significant ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a longer half-life and lower P-gp efflux, but suffers from significantly higher DILI risk, poor solubility, and poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, better hERG), better solubility, and better Caco-2 permeability, even though its half-life is shorter. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the safety and solubility advantages of Ligand B are more critical than the slightly better half-life of Ligand A. The binding affinity difference is small.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (44.81) is better than Ligand B (49.41). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.642 and 3.325), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which *could* indicate a potential for off-target effects, but is not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (3 & 2) counts, well below the thresholds of 5 and 10 respectively.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.918 and 0.855), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.804) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (25.126). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (90.617) is significantly better than Ligand B (70.997). While SRC is not a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.325 and -4.403). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the values are similar.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.251) is better than Ligand B (-4.689). Better solubility is crucial for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.81) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.439). Lower is better, making Ligand A safer from a cardiotoxicity perspective.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (70.202) has a much higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (0.659). This means Ligand B will be metabolized much faster, leading to lower exposure. This is a significant drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (4.962) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-3.259). This is a major advantage for Ligand A, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.16) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.314). Lower efflux is generally preferred for better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5). This is a 1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand A has significantly better ADMET properties: lower DILI risk, better solubility, lower hERG risk, much lower microsomal clearance, a longer half-life, and lower P-gp efflux. The negative Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but the other advantages of Ligand A are substantial. Given the importance of metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) for kinase inhibitors, and the significant difference in these parameters, I believe Ligand A is the more viable drug candidate *despite* the lower binding affinity. The difference in binding affinity might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A.

**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration (Ligand A: 57.929, Ligand B: 63.784), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.432) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.134), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-0.049) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.488), indicating greater metabolic stability.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.3 vs -10.5 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage that could outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks. However, Ligand B has concerning properties: a low logP, a higher TPSA, a lower QED, a higher DILI risk, and a higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A is generally better across most ADME properties, suggesting it would be more readily absorbed, less toxic, and more metabolically stable.
Despite the affinity difference, the ADME profile of Ligand A is far superior. The substantial difference in binding affinity *might* be enough to overcome the ADME issues of Ligand B, but the risk is high. For an enzyme target, metabolic stability and solubility are crucial, and Ligand A excels in these areas.

**hERG:** Ligand A (0.066) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.328), though both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.749) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (27.148), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.583) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (-46.438) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and likely indicates an issue with the data or assay.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.004) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.014) is also low.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-7.7 and -7.8 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has a better logP, QED, lower DILI risk, and a more reasonable (though still problematic) half-life. Ligand A's low logP, borderline DILI risk, and questionable solubility are concerning. The negative half-life value for Ligand B is a major red flag, but the other properties are superior. Given the choice, I'd prioritize investigating the source of the negative half-life for Ligand B, as the other ADME properties are more favorable.

Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and a better half-life and QED score. However, its extremely high DILI risk and poor solubility are major red flags. Ligand B has a better logP and DILI profile, but its significantly weaker binding affinity and negative in vitro half-life are concerning.
Given the priorities for an enzyme target (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a compelling factor. While the DILI risk is high, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The solubility issue is also addressable. The poor half-life of Ligand B is harder to fix.

**logP:** Ligand A (3.241) and Ligand B (4.374) are both within the optimal range of 1-3, although Ligand B is approaching the upper limit.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=3) both have reasonable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.814, B: 0.87), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.772) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (80.923). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (A: 75.843, B: 73.866), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute values are close, so this is unlikely to be a deciding factor.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the values are close (-3.907 for A vs -5.091 for B), so this is not a major differentiator.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.782, B: 0.791).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.275 mL/min/kg) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (71.72 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (54.884 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (46.845 hours). This is also a positive attribute.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.597, B: 0.497).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). This is a 2.2 kcal/mol difference, which is a significant advantage and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better DILI, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a longer half-life, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.8 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. A 2.2 kcal/mol difference in binding is substantial and suggests a much higher probability of target engagement and efficacy. The slightly higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability of Ligand B can be addressed through further optimization.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better QED, DILI, BBB, and P-gp efflux. However, it suffers from higher logP, lower solubility, and significantly higher microsomal clearance (lower metabolic stability). Ligand B has better solubility, logP, and metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is considerably weaker.
Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), metabolic stability and potency are paramount. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.1 vs -8.3 kcal/mol) for Ligand A is a major advantage. While the higher logP and lower solubility of Ligand A are concerns, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The lower metabolic stability is more concerning but might be mitigated with co-administration of metabolic inhibitors or further structural optimization.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.311) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.661) is better, though still not great.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.837) has poor solubility, and Ligand B (-1.912) is also poor. This is a concern for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.124 and 0.143).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-11.806) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (16.326), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.525) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-8.895), which is a negative.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux (0.008 and 0.028).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While both have solubility issues, Ligand B has a more favorable logP, better Caco-2 permeability, and, most importantly, a significantly better binding affinity. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is a plus, but the affinity difference outweighs this benefit. The slightly lower DILI risk for Ligand B is also a minor advantage.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.43 and 370.47 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.96) is better than Ligand B (88.85). Both are below 140, suggesting reasonable absorption, but A is closer to the optimal range for oral bioavailability.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.384) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.612) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, and Ligand B has 5. Both are acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.73 and 0.788), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.26) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (44.05). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (64.48) and Ligand B (82.51) are both reasonable, but not particularly high. Since SRC is not a CNS target, this isn't a major discriminator.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.953 and -4.819), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.939 and -3.235), which is also concerning and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.238) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.548). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-26.982) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (36.834), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.678) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (1.291).
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.009) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.066) is slightly higher. This favors Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.1) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9). While the difference is small, it's still a positive for Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand A has significantly better DILI, hERG, and metabolic stability profiles, and a slightly better binding affinity. The lower DILI and hERG risks are particularly important for an oncology drug, and the improved metabolic stability will likely lead to better *in vivo* exposure. The slightly better affinity is a bonus. Ligand B's better logP is offset by its poorer safety and metabolic properties.

While its solubility and Caco-2 permeability are poor, the strong binding affinity and lower toxicity profile make it a more promising candidate. Ligand B has a better half-life, but suffers from poor logP, higher DILI risk, and weaker binding affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency and metabolic stability are paramount.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.6 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage that could potentially outweigh some of its ADME liabilities. However, Ligand B has a very high DILI risk (78.17), poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic, negative t1/2), and lower solubility. Ligand A, while having a weak binding affinity, demonstrates a much more favorable ADME profile: lower DILI, better metabolic stability, better solubility, lower hERG risk, and better QED.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While potency is important, a compound with poor ADME properties is unlikely to succeed. The large difference in binding affinity is significant, but the liabilities of Ligand B are too substantial to ignore. A medicinal chemistry effort could potentially improve the affinity of Ligand A while maintaining its favorable ADME properties.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-37.075 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (0.867 hours). This is a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.083 and 0.208).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.5 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a significantly better QED score, lower microsomal clearance, and a much longer half-life, all of which are highly desirable for an enzyme inhibitor. While its DILI risk is higher, the substantial improvements in metabolic stability and half-life outweigh this concern. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are shared concerns, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. Ligand B's primary advantage is its slightly better binding affinity and lower DILI, but these are overshadowed by its poorer metabolic stability and shorter half-life.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (422.71 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (347.375 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (55.63) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (127.51) is still within acceptable limits, but higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.856) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target interactions. Ligand B (-1.055) is quite low, which could hinder membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=6) both fall within acceptable ranges.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.577, B: 0.675), indicating generally drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.392) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (61.729), but both are reasonably acceptable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for SRC kinase inhibitors unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Both are around 60, which is not particularly high or low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.257 for A, -1.765 for B). This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.848) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.061). Ligand B is much better in this regard.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (80.234) has a moderate clearance, while Ligand B (-16.099) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely indicates an error or an unusual in vitro behavior. This is a huge red flag for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (67.196 hours) has a good half-life. Ligand B (0.277 hours) has a very short half-life, indicating rapid metabolism.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.869, B: 0.002).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B boasts a much stronger binding affinity, its extremely short half-life and negative microsomal clearance are major concerns. These indicate it will be rapidly metabolized and likely have very poor *in vivo* exposure. Ligand A has a more reasonable pharmacokinetic profile, with acceptable half-life and clearance, despite its higher logP and DILI risk. The solubility is poor for both, but can be addressed with formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, and the importance of metabolic stability, **Ligand A** is the more viable drug candidate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (361.511 and 367.471 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (62.3) is well below the 140 threshold, and even the 90 threshold for CNS targets, suggesting good absorption. Ligand B (89.95) is still under 140, but closer to the upper limit, potentially slightly impacting absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.173) is optimal. Ligand B (0.535) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 4 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 5 HBA) both meet the criteria of <=5 HBD and <=10 HBA.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.876 and 0.763, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (57.813) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (42.924), but both are below the concerning 60 threshold.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (62.233) is higher than Ligand B (30.089).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.862 and -4.797), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.583 and -1.12), also unusual and concerning. Poor solubility can hinder bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.386) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.117), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (59.756) has a higher, and thus worse, microsomal clearance than Ligand B (9.638). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-2.351) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (7.796) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.268 and 0.077).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol), a difference of 0.4 kcal/mol. While a 1.5 kcal/mol advantage is considered significant, 0.4 kcal/mol is not enough to overcome significant ADME issues.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B having a slightly better binding affinity, its extremely poor predicted in vitro half-life (-2.351) and low logP (0.535) are major drawbacks. The negative half-life is a critical issue. Ligand A, while not perfect, has a more reasonable half-life and a better logP, and a lower hERG risk. Although both ligands show poor Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand A's overall profile is more favorable.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.796 and 0.727), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (22.179) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.654). This is a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (90.306 and 87.127), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.547 and -4.942), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have similar, poor aqueous solubility (-4.26 and -4.255). This could present formulation challenges.

While both have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.5 vs -7.0 kcal/mol), lower microsomal clearance, and longer half-life outweigh the slightly higher P-gp efflux and DILI risk. The stronger binding is particularly important for an enzyme target like SRC kinase. The lower DILI risk of Ligand A is attractive, but the potency and stability advantages of Ligand B are more critical.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.773 and 0.718), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (54.48) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (25.82), but both are reasonably low.
**BBB:** Ligand B (93.56) has a much higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand A (55.64). However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.433) and Ligand B (-4.634) both have negative values, which is unusual and indicates very poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.311) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-5.146), but both are poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.208) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.634), which is a significant advantage.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (50.16) is significantly better than Ligand B (113.02). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B's TPSA is approaching a level that could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (2.761 and 1.654), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=6) regarding the number of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors. Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer is generally better for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.88 and 0.759), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (15.2) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (47.732). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (87.67) is better than Ligand B (52.074), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.052) is better than Ligand B (-4.408). Higher values indicate better permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.362 and -2.375). This is a concern for both, but could be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.929) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.333). This is a crucial advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.68) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (15.56). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.065) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-9.171). This is a substantial advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.398) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.031), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). While both are good, the 1 kcal/mol difference is meaningful.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A consistently outperforms Ligand B across most critical parameters for an enzyme inhibitor. It has a lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), better permeability, and slightly better binding affinity. While both have poor solubility, the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh this concern.

2. **TPSA:** A (83.56) is higher than B (62.3). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but B is significantly better, suggesting better absorption.
3. **logP:** Both are within the optimal range (1-3). B (3.266) is slightly higher, potentially leading to some solubility issues, but not critically.
4. **HBD:** A (2) and B (1) are both acceptable, below the threshold of 5.
5. **HBA:** A (6) and B (4) are both acceptable, below the threshold of 10.

7. **DILI:** A (58.86) has a higher DILI risk than B (42.264), which is preferable.
8. **BBB:** B (76.037) has a significantly higher BBB penetration potential than A (55.991). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB can sometimes correlate with better overall permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.21) is worse than B (-4.617), indicating lower intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.191) is worse than B (-3.291), indicating lower aqueous solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both are low and similar (A: 0.524, B: 0.555), posing minimal cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (-4.767) has a *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than B (82.687), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
13. **t1/2:** A (38.938) has a much longer in vitro half-life than B (10.403), which is highly desirable for dosing frequency.
14. **Pgp:** Both are similar (A: 0.058, B: 0.502), suggesting similar P-gp efflux liability.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-8.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than A (-8.2), but the difference is relatively small (0.4 kcal/mol).
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
* **Affinity:** B has a slightly better affinity.
* **Metabolic Stability:** A is significantly more metabolically stable (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2).
* **Solubility:** B has better solubility.
* **hERG:** Both are good.
**Conclusion:**
While ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and TPSA, ligand A's superior metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and slightly better QED, combined with acceptable DILI and hERG, make it the more promising drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity (0.4 kcal/mol) is unlikely to outweigh the significant advantage in metabolic stability and half-life for an enzyme target. The lower solubility of A is a concern, but formulation strategies can often address this.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-16.469) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (39.717), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (23.102 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (9.481 hours), which is desirable for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.025) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.569), suggesting better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol). The difference is 1.9 kcal/mol, which is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Ligand B's high logP, higher DILI risk, higher hERG inhibition, and significantly higher microsomal clearance are major concerns. Ligand A, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits much better ADME properties, particularly regarding metabolic stability, safety (DILI, hERG), and P-gp efflux. The difference in binding affinity, while significant, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, and would need to be addressed, but the overall profile of A is more favorable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has better metabolic stability and half-life, Ligand A's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.6 kcal/mol) and lower hERG risk are critical advantages, especially for an enzyme target. The slightly better TPSA and P-gp efflux of Ligand A are also beneficial. The solubility and permeability issues are concerning for both, but the superior potency of Ligand A is likely to be more impactful in driving efficacy.

For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While both ligands have equal binding affinity, Ligand B has a significantly longer half-life, which is a major advantage. However, Ligand B suffers from very poor solubility, high DILI risk, high logP, and high P-gp efflux. Ligand A has better solubility, lower DILI risk, and lower P-gp efflux, but has a short half-life and poor permeability.
Considering the balance, the longer half-life of Ligand B is a significant advantage that *could* be overcome with formulation strategies to address its solubility issues. The high DILI risk is a serious concern, but not insurmountable during lead optimization. Ligand A's poor permeability is a more difficult property to improve.

While the DILI risk is a concern, it might be mitigated through structural modifications during lead optimization. The metabolic stability issues could also be addressed. The weaker affinity of Ligand B makes it less likely to be a successful drug candidate, even with its better ADME properties.

**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (89.492 and 91.857), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.823 and -4.718), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.214 and -4.644), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.969) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.733), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (52.893) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (81.635), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (55.744) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (24.269), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.555) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.727), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.2 kcal/mol). However, Ligand A demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in terms of DILI risk, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and P-gp efflux. Both compounds have poor solubility and permeability. Given the enzyme class (kinase), metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial. The affinity difference is 1.6 kcal/mol, which is significant, but the better ADME profile of Ligand A, especially the lower DILI risk, makes it the more promising candidate, assuming solubility/permeability can be addressed through formulation or further optimization.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.309) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.02), meaning it is less likely to be pumped out of cells.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.8) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.3). However, the difference is only 0.5 kcal/mol, which may not be enough to overcome other significant drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better binding affinity of Ligand A, its extremely high DILI risk is a deal-breaker. Ligand B, while having a slightly lower affinity and permeability issues, presents a much more favorable safety profile (DILI) and better metabolic stability (Cl_mic). The solubility is also better for Ligand B. Considering these factors, Ligand B is the more viable drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.423 and 351.407 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (107.84 and 104.73) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.33) is within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B (-0.068) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate permeability issues, but isn't a major concern at this stage.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (1 HBD, 6 HBA) both have reasonable H-bond characteristics, well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Ligand B (0.625) has a better QED score than Ligand A (0.354), suggesting a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (35.789) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (59.48), which is a substantial advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration, not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.803 and -4.945), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant red flag for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.425 and -1.494), which is also highly problematic and indicates very poor solubility. This is a major issue for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.215 and 0.234), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (3.368 mL/min/kg) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (44.466 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (20.549 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (-32.995 hours - a negative value is concerning and likely indicates rapid degradation). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.011 and 0.012).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.2 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk, lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), and longer half-life outweigh the slightly lower QED score and the shared permeability/solubility issues. The permeability and solubility issues are serious for both, but the ADME profile of Ligand A is superior. Further work would need to focus on improving the solubility and permeability of either compound, but Ligand A provides a better starting point.

**DILI:** Ligand A (67.623) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (37.611). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (52.579) is higher than Ligand A (32.765), but this isn't a major deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.142 and -4.937). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability. However, these are likely experimental artifacts or indicate the assay is not suitable for these compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.38 and -3.229). Again, these are unusual and suggest poor solubility, but may be experimental artifacts.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.264 and 0.132), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (20.061) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (38.109), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-13.819) has a negative half-life, which is an artifact. Ligand A (43.317) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.136 and 0.112), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has a higher DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, lower Cl_mic, better TPSA) but weaker binding affinity. The difference in binding affinity (-9.8 vs -6.8) is 3 kcal/mol, which is a large difference. Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibition, and the acceptable (though not ideal) ADME profile of Ligand A, I would prioritize Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.016) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.37) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's poor logP, Caco-2 permeability, and solubility, its *significantly* stronger binding affinity, excellent metabolic stability (low Cl_mic and long t1/2), very low hERG risk, and low DILI risk make it the more promising candidate. The affinity difference is large enough to potentially overcome the solubility/permeability issues through formulation strategies. Ligand B, while having better permeability and BBB, suffers from higher DILI risk, higher clearance, and a weaker binding affinity.

**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.471) and Ligand B (0.182) both have poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B is slightly better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.276) has a low hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.082) has an even lower hERG risk, which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (23.184 mL/min/kg) has a higher microsomal clearance, suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (-18.221 mL/min/kg) has a *negative* clearance, which is impossible and likely indicates an error in the data or a very high stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (13.149 hours) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (5.37 hours) has a shorter half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.08 and 0.006), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the negative Caco-2 values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly higher binding affinity (-9.4 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) is a crucial advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, it has a much lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability. The negative microsomal clearance is suspect and should be investigated, but even if it's an error, the other advantages of Ligand B make it the better choice.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.95) is better than Ligand B (-5.06), indicating better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.319) is worse than Ligand B (-1.821), which is a concern.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.394) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.039), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.059) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (1.62), meaning Ligand B is more metabolically stable. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (72.505) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (7.994), which is favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.481) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.005), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**

**8. BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (29.508 and 33.656). This isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 permeability values (-4.86 and -4.924). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.105 and -3.415). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.521) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.159). This is a concern, but not a dealbreaker.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.316) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-1.814). This means Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (40.18) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-10.335). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.

Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). While its DILI risk is higher, the substantial affinity advantage is likely to be more important for an enzyme target like SRC. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but the strong binding of Ligand B might compensate for these issues. Ligand A's lower DILI is attractive, but the weaker binding affinity is a significant drawback.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.779 and 0.778).
**DILI:** Ligand A (12.175) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (36.681), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (88.445) shows good BBB penetration, while Ligand B (62.544) is lower. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but it's a positive for Ligand A.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.483 and -4.807), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. This is a concern for both, but the values are close.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.707 and -1.044), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Ligand B is slightly better here.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.608) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.345), which is a positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (87.607) has significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (27.37), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.015) has a very short in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (3.935) is better, though still not ideal.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.168) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.027), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.5 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly better. The difference is small, but could be relevant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in DILI risk, BBB penetration, hERG, and P-gp efflux. However, its major weaknesses are its high microsomal clearance and very short half-life, which are critical for an enzyme inhibitor. Ligand B, while having a slightly lower affinity and higher DILI risk, demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability is paramount.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (133.38) is slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (91.02) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.754) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (2.291) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD and 7 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.753 and 0.781), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a high DILI risk (97.867), which is a significant concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk (34.393), a major advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB percentile (48.895) than Ligand A (39.473), but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A has a very low hERG risk (0.054), which is excellent. Ligand B has a slightly higher hERG risk (0.44), but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a low Cl_mic (1.039 mL/min/kg), indicating good metabolic stability. Ligand B has a significantly higher Cl_mic (49.327 mL/min/kg), suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a shorter half-life (25.88 hours) than Ligand B (26.762 hours), but both are acceptable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has low P-gp efflux (0.105), which is favorable. Ligand B has very low P-gp efflux (0.033), which is even better.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.6 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.2 kcal/mol is unlikely to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite having slightly better logP and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, the DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major red flag. The similar binding affinities make the ADME properties the determining factor.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.371) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.104), indicating better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity and a significantly longer half-life, which are critical for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has advantages in TPSA, solubility, hERG, and P-gp efflux, the potency and metabolic stability of Ligand B are more important for SRC kinase inhibition. The slightly higher DILI risk of Ligand B is acceptable given its superior binding and half-life.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (47.851) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-13.561), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.454) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.018), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior ADME profile across almost all parameters. However, Ligand B's binding affinity is significantly stronger (-10.1 vs -8.6 kcal/mol). Given that we are targeting an enzyme (kinase), potency is paramount. The 1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could translate to a much more effective drug, even if it means accepting some compromises in ADME. While Ligand B's logP is low and its clearance is high, these issues might be addressable through further optimization without sacrificing its strong binding.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.83 and 0.33), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (87.009) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (18.501). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (31.797 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (17.757 hours). This is a substantial advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.354 and 0.277), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-6.9 kcal/mol). While the difference is small, it's enough to potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both compounds having significant solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), slightly better binding affinity, and a lower P-gp efflux liability. The solubility and permeability issues would need to be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modification, but the improved pharmacokinetic profile of Ligand B makes it a better starting point.

**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (A: 70.803, B: 81.388). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.753 and -4.72), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-5.761 and -4.175). This is a major formulation challenge.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.45, B: 0.299). This is positive.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (81.194) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (54.863), suggesting lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a negative half-life (-19.271), which is not physically possible and indicates a problem with the data or the compound itself. Ligand A has a reasonable half-life (59.768).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.48, B: 0.199).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its high DILI risk and higher microsomal clearance are significant drawbacks. Ligand B has a better drug-like profile (higher QED, lower DILI, lower Cl_mic), but its binding affinity is weaker, and the negative half-life is a major red flag. The negative Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning, but potentially addressable through formulation strategies. Given the substantial affinity difference, and assuming the negative half-life for B is an error, Ligand A is the more promising candidate, *provided* the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications.

**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands have significant drawbacks. Ligand A has a high DILI risk and poor Caco-2/Solubility, while Ligand B has a low logP, poor Caco-2/Solubility, and a marginal QED. However, Ligand B's significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, very long t1/2) and lower DILI risk are crucial advantages for an enzyme target. While the binding affinity is slightly lower, the difference (0.3 kcal/mol) is unlikely to outweigh the ADME benefits of Ligand B. The poor permeability and solubility of both compounds would need to be addressed through formulation or further chemical modifications, but the lower toxicity and better metabolic profile of Ligand B make it the more promising starting point.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.451 and 349.391 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (90.98) is better than Ligand B (113.93). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, and both are under this threshold, but A is closer to the preferred value.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (-0.251 and -0.834), falling within the 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly better.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 7. Both are within the acceptable range (<=10), but A is preferable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.44 and 0.732), indicating drug-likeness. Ligand B is significantly better here.
**DILI:** Both have relatively low DILI risk (29.624 and 40.364), both below the 40 threshold, so this isn't a major differentiator.
**BBB:** Ligand A (42.264) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (78.054). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.506 and -5.142), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have very poor aqueous solubility (-1.392 and -1.602). This is a major drawback for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.243 and 0.201), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-13.669) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-12.609), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (3.009) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (-13.663). This is a positive for A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.004 and 0.001), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-7.5 and -7.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is slightly better overall. While both have poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability, Ligand A has a better TPSA, slightly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and a slightly longer half-life, and a slightly better binding affinity. The QED score is significantly better for Ligand B, but the slight advantage in potency and metabolic stability for A outweighs this. The poor solubility and permeability are significant issues for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.9 kcal/mol). This 1.7 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility (scale unknown), Ligand A boasts significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower P-gp efflux, and a slightly stronger binding affinity. The low hERG risk is also a major advantage. Ligand B has a higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic properties. The better logP of Ligand B is offset by its other weaknesses.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.475 and 342.443 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.51) is slightly higher than Ligand B (58.44). Both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, but Ligand B is better.
**logP:** Both ligands (1.302 and 1.902) are within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD, and Ligand B has 0. Both are acceptable (<=5).
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 4. Both are acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.759 and 0.843), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (10.392) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (25.591). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (70.997 and 77.2), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.062) has worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.584), indicating potentially lower intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.961) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.313).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.138) has a much lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.295), which is a critical safety factor.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.955) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.249), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-14.742) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-6.003), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.013 and 0.129).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0). This is a substantial advantage. A >1.5 kcal/mol advantage can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme target. While Ligand A has better safety (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), the large difference in binding affinity (-7.7 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) is likely to outweigh these advantages. The slightly lower Caco-2 and solubility of Ligand B are less concerning than the very weak binding of Ligand A.

**BBB:** Both ligands have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand B (65.568) is slightly better than Ligand A (57.154). BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.68) shows poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-5.058) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.984) has very poor aqueous solubility, a major drawback. Ligand B (-2.519) is also poor, but better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.471) has a higher hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.126). This is a significant safety concern for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.987) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (21.506), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (44.646) has a shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (15.989), further supporting the lower metabolic stability of A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.332 and 0.053).

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (2) and HBA (3/4) counts, well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.581 and 0.89), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is better here.
**DILI:** Both ligands have DILI risk below 60, indicating low risk. Ligand A (55.758) is slightly higher than Ligand B (54.517), but both are acceptable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (91.314) has a higher BBB penetration than Ligand A (49.787), but this isn't a major factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified, making interpretation difficult.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.878 and 0.904), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a negative clearance (-1.911 mL/min/kg), suggesting very high metabolic stability, which is a significant advantage. Ligand A has a clearance of 12.951 mL/min/kg, which is moderate.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a shorter half-life (12.585 hours) than Ligand A (105.216 hours). This is a drawback for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.569 and 0.282), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage, as a 1.5 kcal/mol difference can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate. While it has a shorter half-life, its significantly improved binding affinity (-7.2 vs -9.4 kcal/mol) and superior metabolic stability (negative clearance) outweigh the drawbacks. The slightly better QED score also contributes to its favorability. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning, but the strong affinity and metabolic stability of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate.

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (42.691) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (12.02), but both are below the concerning 60 threshold.
8. **BBB:** Ligand B (65.413) has a better BBB penetration potential than Ligand A (41.993), but this isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.14) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.491), which is preferable.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (12.12) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (35.079), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.

15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.3) - a difference of 1.0 kcal/mol. This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Decision:**
Despite the negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.3 kcal/mol vs -7.3 kcal/mol) is a major advantage that likely outweighs the slightly higher DILI and Pgp efflux. The better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer half-life of Ligand A are attractive, but the potency difference is more critical for an enzyme target. The hERG risk is also slightly better for Ligand A. However, the substantial affinity gain with Ligand B is likely to translate to better *in vivo* efficacy, even if it means some optimization of ADME properties later.

**Conclusion:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and logP, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better safety profiles with a much lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability, and superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility are concerns for both, but are addressable. Given the enzyme-kinase target class, prioritizing metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity (DILI, hERG) are crucial. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is not enough to overcome the superior safety and metabolic profile of Ligand A.

**7. DILI:** Both have acceptable DILI risk (47.654 and 50.136), well below the 60 threshold.
**8. BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (71.035 and 70.958), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.998 and -5.087). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't fully defined here.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.1 and -2.826). Again, the scale is unclear, but negative values likely indicate poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both have very low hERG risk (0.05 and 0.311), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (3.917) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (20.164), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (30.648) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-13.213). This is a significant advantage.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux (0.022 and 0.261), which is good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both have very similar and strong binding affinities (-8.6 and -8.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
While both ligands have good potency and low hERG risk, Ligand B is clearly superior due to its significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and longer in vitro half-life. The slightly better logP and QED also contribute to its favorability. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the improved pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand B outweigh these concerns.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has advantages in most ADME properties (TPSA, logP, DILI, Caco-2, Solubility) and a comparable binding affinity. Ligand B shines in metabolic stability and half-life, but its lower logP and higher DILI risk are concerning. Given the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG), the improved ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly the lower DILI risk and better solubility, outweighs the slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand B. The affinity difference is small enough that optimizing Ligand A's metabolic stability should be feasible.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (347.5 and 373.5 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (52.65) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better for potential CNS penetration. Ligand B (79.8) is still acceptable but less favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.733) is optimal. Ligand B (3.349) is at the higher end of the optimal range, potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects, but still acceptable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 3 HBA) is excellent. Ligand B (2 HBD, 7 HBA) is also acceptable, but slightly higher counts could impact permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.51 and 0.488), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (4.886) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (81.388) has a significantly higher DILI risk, a major concern.
**BBB:** Ligand A (79.992) shows good BBB penetration potential, while Ligand B (63.94) is lower. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, but a bonus.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.87) has poor Caco-2 permeability, a significant drawback. Ligand B (-5.58) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.131) has poor aqueous solubility. Ligand B (-3.616) is even worse. Both are problematic for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.702) has a low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.8) also shows low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (1.6) has low microsomal clearance, suggesting good metabolic stability. Ligand B (99.854) has very high clearance, indicating rapid metabolism and potentially requiring higher doses or frequent administration.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (6.365) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (55.499) has a much longer half-life, a significant advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.028) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.283) has slightly higher efflux, but still acceptable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and a much lower DILI risk, which are critical for an oncology target. However, it suffers from poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. Ligand B has a longer half-life but a significantly higher DILI risk, poor solubility, and a weaker binding affinity.
Despite the ADME concerns with Ligand A, the strong binding affinity and low DILI risk make it the more promising candidate. Solubility and permeability can be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The high DILI risk of Ligand B is a more difficult problem to overcome.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.507 and 346.387 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.88) is well below the 140 threshold, while Ligand B (122.55) is still acceptable but higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.767) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.454) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is good. Ligand B (4) is acceptable, but approaching the upper limit.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) is good. Ligand B (5) is also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.847 and 0.577), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (16.712) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (67.119). This is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both have moderate BBB penetration, but Ligand A (71.384) is better than Ligand B (62.544). Not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.513) is poor, while Ligand B (-5.478) is even worse. Both are problematic.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.542) is poor, while Ligand B (-3.053) is even worse. Both are problematic.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.492) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.197). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (34.454) has higher clearance than Ligand B (-4.178). Ligand B exhibits negative clearance, which is not physically possible and suggests an error in the data or a very stable compound.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (8.535) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (-15.896). Again, negative half-life is not possible.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.086) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.008). This is a slight advantage.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.8 and -8.0 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is not huge.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the better candidate. While both have good binding affinity, Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk and hERG inhibition liability. Although both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the ADME profile of Ligand B is unrealistic with negative values for clearance and half-life. The slightly better logP and BBB penetration of Ligand A are also beneficial.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.729) has slightly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.109).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it contributes to the overall preference for Ligand B.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. It exhibits a significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. While Ligand A has slightly better BBB penetration and P-gp efflux, these are less important for a non-CNS enzyme target like SRC. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but are similar enough that they don't differentiate the candidates.

**Pgp:** Ligand A (0.057) has low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.541) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.1 vs -7.0 kcal/mol) outweighs its slightly higher logP and moderate Pgp efflux. Furthermore, Ligand B has a much better DILI score and a reasonable in vitro half-life, while Ligand A has an impossible half-life value. The lower hERG risk of Ligand A is a plus, but the affinity difference is more critical for an enzyme target.

5. **HBA:** Both A (6) and B (6) are within the acceptable range (<=10).
6. **QED:** A (0.681) is better than B (0.568), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (83.443) is concerningly high, indicating a significant risk of liver injury. B (90.461) is even worse.
8. **BBB:** A (45.909) is low, not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. B (39.55) is also low.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-5.595) is very poor, suggesting very limited intestinal absorption. B (-5.159) is also poor, but slightly better than A.
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.135) is poor. B (-4.608) is even worse.
11. **hERG:** A (0.385) is good, indicating low cardiotoxicity risk. B (0.497) is also good.

**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
Despite the high DILI risk for both compounds, Ligand A is the better candidate. The significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2) and lower Pgp efflux, combined with acceptable hERG risk, outweigh the lower affinity and poor solubility/Caco-2. The 0.5 kcal/mol difference in affinity *might* be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A, while addressing the DILI risk. Ligand B's rapid metabolism is a major drawback that would be difficult to overcome. The poor solubility and Caco-2 values for both are concerning, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much better binding affinity and a lower P-gp efflux liability. However, it has a very high DILI risk, a negative and likely erroneous in vitro half-life, and poor solubility. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, a reasonable half-life, and better metabolic stability, but its binding affinity is weaker.
Given the critical importance of minimizing toxicity (DILI) and ensuring reasonable metabolic stability for an enzyme inhibitor, and acknowledging the questionable half-life prediction for Ligand A, **Ligand B is the more viable drug candidate.** The stronger binding affinity of Ligand A is appealing, but the high DILI risk is a significant red flag that would likely preclude further development.

**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and good binding affinities (-9.1 kcal/mol and -8.8 kcal/mol, respectively). The difference is not substantial enough to override other factors.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower P-gp efflux. However, it suffers from very poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility, and a short half-life. Ligand B has better logP and half-life, but significantly higher DILI and hERG risk, and worse metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While Ligand A's permeability and solubility are concerning, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The higher safety profile and better metabolic stability of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (364.383 and 346.402 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (41.57) is better than Ligand B (49.85), both are acceptable but A is preferable.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.372) is higher than the optimal range (1-3) and could present solubility challenges. Ligand B (1.977) is within the optimal range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is good, Ligand B (0) is also good.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 3 HBA, which is acceptable.

**DILI:** Ligand A (31.02) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (42.846), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (87.088 and 83.288), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, indicating poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both.
**Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.752) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-2.422).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.933) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.603), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (55.391) has higher clearance than Ligand B (35.213), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-31.614) has a negative half-life, which is a major red flag. Ligand A (27.854) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.279 and 0.381).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2), but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and lower DILI risk, but suffers from higher logP, higher clearance, and worse solubility. Ligand B has better logP, solubility, and clearance, but has a negative in vitro half-life, which is a critical flaw. Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the more promising candidate despite its drawbacks.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, considering the provided guidelines and enzyme-specific priorities.
**1. Molecular Weight (MW):** Both ligands (341.455 and 356.329 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (57.5) is well below the 140 threshold and good for oral absorption. Ligand B (100.63) is still within acceptable limits, but less favorable than A.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (2.218) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (-0.238) is below 1, which might impede permeation. This is a significant drawback for B.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.

**6. QED:** Ligand A (0.847) has a very good drug-likeness score. Ligand B (0.573) is acceptable, but lower than A.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (24.622) has a low DILI risk. Ligand B (64.521) has a higher, though not critically high, DILI risk.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (51.997) and Ligand B (60.682) are both moderate.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.868) and Ligand B (-5.131) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't fully defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.124 and -2.061 respectively). This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.844) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.086). This is a significant advantage for A.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (31.062) has a higher clearance than Ligand B (3.61). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (68.92) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-31.504). The negative value for B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.573) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.009), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.3). This >1.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand A excels in affinity and hERG risk. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), but a very poor half-life. Both have poor solubility. The significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, combined with its lower hERG risk and better QED, makes it the more promising candidate despite its slightly higher clearance.

**8. BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration, but Ligand B (92.168) is slightly better than Ligand A (82.474). However, BBB is less crucial for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS targets are specifically desired.
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 permeability values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with intestinal absorption. This needs further investigation, but it's a flag for both.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.454) has better (less negative) solubility than Ligand B (-5.669). Solubility is a critical factor for bioavailability.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.579) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.781). This is a significant advantage, as hERG inhibition can lead to cardiotoxicity.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (25.966) has a lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability than Ligand B (80.34). This is a key advantage for kinase inhibitors.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (-32.255) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or the model. Ligand B (34.98) has a reasonable in vitro half-life. This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.125 and 0.139).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a substantial advantage, and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it has some concerning ADME properties (higher logP, lower solubility, higher DILI, and higher Cl_mic). Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, lower Cl_mic) but extremely poor binding affinity and a physically impossible half-life.
Given the critical importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the magnitude of the difference in binding affinity (-7.9 vs 0.0), Ligand B is the more promising candidate *despite* its ADME liabilities. These liabilities could potentially be addressed through further optimization, but a compound with no initial affinity is unlikely to be viable. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a showstopper.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (84.86) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption and even below 90, potentially allowing for some CNS penetration, though that's not a priority here. Ligand B (107.19) is still under 140, but higher than A.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (2.599) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.249) is quite low, potentially hindering permeation.
**4. H-Bond Donors (HBD):** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (2 and 3 respectively), below the threshold of 5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors (HBA):** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (4 each), below the threshold of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.735 and 0.625), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (57.929 and 51.881), which is acceptable (below 60).
**8. BBB:** Not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand A (44.591) is lower than Ligand B (60.876).
**9. Caco-2:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these represent logP-like scales, the values are similar.
**10. Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.167) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.259).
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.028) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.268) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (-7.306) has *much* lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (37.429), indicating significantly better metabolic stability.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (12.286) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (26.342).
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (0.012 and 0.045).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.8). This is a >1 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand A is the superior candidate. While both have acceptable DILI and Pgp efflux, Ligand A excels in key areas: significantly better binding affinity, much lower microsomal clearance (better metabolic stability), a longer half-life, and a more optimal logP. The slightly better solubility and lower hERG risk further strengthen its profile. Ligand B's low logP is a significant concern, potentially hindering absorption.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.72) has a negative half-life, which is unusual. Ligand B (11.903) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.068 and 0.01).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a crucial factor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a substantially better binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, lower hERG safety, and a less favorable microsomal clearance. Both ligands have poor predicted permeability and solubility. Despite the better affinity, the poor ADME profile of Ligand B is concerning. Ligand A, while having a very weak binding affinity, has a much better safety profile (DILI, hERG) and metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the binding affinity difference is substantial enough to favor Ligand B *if* the ADME issues can be addressed through further optimization. However, considering the current data, the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds are major hurdles.

1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (351.447) is slightly higher than B (332.491), but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (85.62) is better than B (6.48). While both are below 140, B is significantly lower, which *could* indicate better permeability, but also potentially reduced solubility.
3. **logP:** A (2.04) is optimal. B (4.48) is pushing the upper limit and could present solubility and off-target issues.
4. **HBD:** A (2) is good. B (0) is also acceptable, but a lack of HBD can sometimes hinder solubility.
5. **HBA:** A (5) is good. B (2) is also good.
6. **QED:** Both are very similar and good (A: 0.819, B: 0.814).
7. **DILI:** A (42.691) is better than B (22.024), indicating a lower risk of liver injury.
8. **BBB:** A (89.104) is good, B (97.131) is excellent. However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.102) is better than B (-5.013), though both are poor.
11. **hERG:** A (0.39) is much better than B (0.981), indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (29.231) is better than B (51.051), indicating better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (51.815) is much better than B (-12.896), indicating a significantly longer half-life.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.105) is better than B (0.672), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
15. **Binding Affinity:** B (-8) is 1.3 kcal/mol better than A (-6.7). This is a substantial difference in potency.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. While B has a significantly better binding affinity, it suffers from worse metabolic stability, solubility, and a higher hERG risk. A has better ADME properties overall, and a reasonable binding affinity.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the significantly better ADME profile of Ligand A, particularly its lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability, longer half-life, and lower hERG risk, makes it the more promising drug candidate. The difference in binding affinity, while substantial, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand A, whereas fixing the ADME liabilities of Ligand B would likely be more challenging.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (361.31 Da) is slightly higher than Ligand B (338.459 Da), but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (29.54) is significantly better than Ligand B (88.75). Lower TPSA generally indicates better cell permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (A: 3.919, B: 3.323), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=0, HBA=2) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=6) as it has fewer hydrogen bond donors and acceptors, which can improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.748) has a higher QED score than Ligand B (0.505), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (48.313) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (60.217). This is a crucial advantage.
**BBB:** This is less important for a non-CNS target like SRC, but Ligand A (98.022) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (71.656).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.306) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.525). However, the TPSA difference is more important for absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.708) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-2.957). This is a potential drawback for Ligand A, but can be mitigated through formulation.
**hERG:** Both ligands have similar hERG inhibition liability (A: 0.821, B: 0.885), and are at acceptable levels.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.317) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (60.677), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (0.565) has a much shorter in vitro half-life than Ligand B (15.052). This is a significant disadvantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.329, B: 0.262).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-9.0 kcal/mol and -8.9 kcal/mol respectively), with a negligible difference.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A excels in most key ADME properties (TPSA, QED, DILI, Cl_mic) and has comparable binding affinity to Ligand B. However, its significantly shorter half-life is a major concern. Ligand B has a better half-life and solubility, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher TPSA, and worse metabolic stability. Given the importance of metabolic stability for kinases, and the relatively small difference in binding affinity, the lower DILI risk and better TPSA of Ligand A are more compelling. While the half-life is a concern, it might be addressable through structural modifications.

The better half-life of B also contributes to its favorability. While Ligand A has slightly better hERG and P-gp profiles, the potency difference is more important in this case. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values for both compounds are concerning and would require further investigation (e.g., experimental validation, salt screening, formulation studies). However, given the choice between these two, the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have similar, low hERG inhibition risk (0.628 and 0.621).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-25.93) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (43.863), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (9.892) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (75.342). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.418 and 0.025).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.8 kcal/mol, which is significant, but may not outweigh the ADME concerns for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better binding affinity and QED, but suffers from very high DILI risk, poor solubility, and higher metabolic clearance. Ligand B, while having slightly weaker affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (low DILI), improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and better solubility. Considering the enzyme-kinase specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. The 0.8 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity can potentially be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B, while mitigating the severe liabilities of Ligand A would be much more challenging.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (34.89) is significantly better than Ligand B (58.64). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, which is important for kinase inhibitors. Ligand A is well below the 140 threshold, while Ligand B is approaching it.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.823) is higher than Ligand B (2.686). While both are within the acceptable range (1-3 is optimal), Ligand A is pushing the upper limit and could potentially have solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B is closer to the ideal range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (0 HBD, 3 HBA) is better than Ligand B (1 HBD, 4 HBA). Fewer H-bonds are generally preferred for permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.59 and 0.678), indicating a generally drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (60.915) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (31.291). This is a significant concern, as a DILI percentile > 60 is considered high risk.
**BBB:** Ligand A (82.047) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (68.205). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.762) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.007). Lower values indicate poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.242) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.169). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.814) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.458). Lower hERG risk is preferred.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (49.193 and 48.851 mL/min/kg). This suggests similar metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (27.319 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (3.295 hours). This is a major advantage for dosing convenience.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.967) has slightly higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.286). Lower P-gp efflux is preferred.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a 1.1 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher logP, slightly higher hERG, and worse solubility and Caco-2 permeability, its significantly superior binding affinity (-8.8 vs -7.7 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are compelling advantages, especially for a kinase inhibitor where potency and duration of action are crucial. The DILI risk is a concern, but the large affinity difference might allow for dose reduction to mitigate this risk. Ligand B's better ADME profile is overshadowed by its weaker binding.

**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.737 and -4.977). These values are unusual and difficult to interpret without additional context. However, they both suggest poor permeability.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.826 and -2.707). These are also unusual and suggest poor solubility.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.722) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.419). Lower is better here, favoring Ligand B.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (61.906) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.279), indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B is preferable.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.855) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (39.926). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, suggesting less frequent dosing potential.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.274) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.065). Lower is better, favoring Ligand A.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is small (0.4 kcal/mol), it's a positive for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better binding affinity and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The key advantages of Ligand B are significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower hERG risk. These factors are crucial for kinase inhibitors, where off-target effects and metabolic liabilities are common concerns. The slight difference in binding affinity is unlikely to outweigh the substantial improvements in ADME-Tox properties offered by Ligand B. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, and would require further investigation, but are less critical than the DILI and metabolic stability issues with Ligand A.

Ligand A has a significant advantage in DILI risk and in vitro half-life, and slightly better solubility. Ligand B has a better logP and slightly better Caco-2 permeability. The binding affinity is comparable. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk and longer half-life of Ligand A are more important than the slightly better logP of Ligand B. The very poor Caco-2 permeability of both is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (354.407 and 387.311 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (117.17) is slightly higher than Ligand B (82.11). Both are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B is significantly better.
**logP:** Ligand A (-0.195) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (3.422) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both have 2 HBD, which is acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 6 HBA, and Ligand B has 4 HBA. Both are within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.586) has a slightly better QED score than Ligand B (0.484), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar DILI risk (56.96 and 57.891 percentile), indicating moderate risk.
**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration (49.205 and 43.544 percentile), which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.204 and -5.58), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-2.24 and -3.601), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.201) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.793), which is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (48.203 mL/min/kg) has a slightly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (35.429 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (55.653 hours) has a substantially longer half-life than Ligand A (-1.729 hours). This is a major advantage.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.015) has significantly lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.577), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol). While the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold, it's still a factor.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is preferable despite the slightly weaker binding affinity. The key advantages of Ligand B are its optimal logP, significantly longer half-life, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While both have poor solubility and permeability, the longer half-life and better logP of Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. Ligand A has a better hERG profile and P-gp efflux, but the poor logP and very short half-life are major drawbacks.

**QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.849 and 0.681) above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (74.99%) compared to Ligand B (10.469%). This is a major red flag for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration, but Ligand B is better (94.455%) than Ligand A (80.419%). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage for B.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.777 and -4.656). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. Further investigation would be needed to understand this.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-5.126 and -2.331), indicating very poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both compounds.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.644 and 0.678), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (32.814 mL/min/kg) has a significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (51.949 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-7.276 hours) has a negative half-life, which is unusual and likely an error. Ligand A (53.839 hours) has a good half-life. However, the negative value for B raises concerns about its reliability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.319 and 0.275), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have strong binding affinities (-9.4 and -8.9 kcal/mol), with Ligand A being slightly better. However, the 0.5 kcal/mol difference is unlikely to outweigh the significant ADME drawbacks of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While both have solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). The negative half-life for B is concerning and needs to be investigated, but the other advantages outweigh this issue. Ligand A's high DILI risk is a major concern that makes it less likely to succeed as a drug candidate.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.21 and 0.14).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a stronger binding affinity (-8.2 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand A (-7.4 kcal/mol). This 0.8 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite its very short in vitro half-life. The significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.2 vs -7.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage for an enzyme target. It also has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic). While both have poor Caco-2 and solubility, the potency advantage of Ligand B is likely to be more impactful in initial optimization efforts. The short half-life of Ligand B could be addressed through structural modifications.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.451 and 366.527 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (99.35) is slightly higher than the preferred <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (49.85) is excellent, well below 140.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.278) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (2.494) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD, which is acceptable. Ligand B has 0, also acceptable.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, acceptable. Ligand B has 4, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.684 and 0.77), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (44.009 and 38.658), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (35.44) has poor BBB penetration, which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (71.229) is good, but again, not critical here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.274) has very poor predicted permeability. Ligand B (-4.65) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.963) has poor predicted solubility. Ligand B (-3.895) is even worse.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.191) has a very low risk of hERG inhibition, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.364) also has low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (14.441) has a relatively low microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (72.772) has a high clearance, indicating faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.849) has a poor predicted half-life. Ligand B (1.709) has a better half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.215), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a >1.5 kcal/mol difference, which is a major advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite solubility issues with both, Ligand B is the superior candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.3 vs -7.9 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher microsomal clearance and poorer permeability compared to Ligand A. The better logP and TPSA of Ligand B also contribute to its favorability. The low hERG risk for both is a positive attribute. The metabolic stability of Ligand A is good, but the potency of Ligand B is more critical for an enzyme target.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (353.329 and 355.523 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (81.39 and 81.67) below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (1.416 and 1.382) within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 6 HBA) is better than Ligand B (3 HBD, 4 HBA) in terms of H-bonding potential, generally favoring permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.885) has a significantly higher QED score than Ligand B (0.553), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (90.733) has a high DILI risk, while Ligand B (4.886) has a very low DILI risk. This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (68.205) has a moderate BBB penetration, while Ligand B (45.909) has a lower BBB penetration. This isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.528) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. Ligand B (-5.14) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.084) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-1.168) is also poor, but better than A.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.141 and 0.257).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-7.211) has very low microsomal clearance, indicating excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (13.374) has a high microsomal clearance, suggesting poor metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.726) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and likely indicates an issue with the data or the model. Ligand B (-17.682) also has a negative half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.045).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.1 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior binding affinity and metabolic stability, but suffers from a very high DILI risk, poor solubility, and a questionable half-life value. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (low DILI) and slightly better solubility, but weaker binding affinity and poor metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI) are crucial. While the affinity difference is notable, the extremely high DILI risk associated with Ligand A makes it a less attractive candidate. The poor half-life values for both are concerning and require further investigation, but the DILI risk is the more immediate disqualifier.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (349.391 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (363.571 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (111.28) is better than Ligand B (40.77). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.674) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeability. Ligand B (4.431) is high, potentially causing solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=7) and Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=5) both fall within acceptable ranges.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (Ligand A: 0.644, Ligand B: 0.791), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (56.727) has a moderate DILI risk, while Ligand B (18.922) has a low DILI risk. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (88.6) is higher, but this isn't a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values, which is unusual. Assuming these are logP-like scales, lower values indicate poorer permeability. Ligand A (-5.227) is worse than Ligand B (-4.944).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-1.597) is slightly better than Ligand B (-3.644).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.363) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.93). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (36.58) has a lower clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability than Ligand B (62.499). This is a key advantage for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-26.083) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand B (33.9) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.12) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.867) has higher efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability, lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk. However, its solubility is slightly worse, and its Caco-2 permeability is significantly worse. The negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. Ligand B has a better DILI profile and a reasonable half-life, but its logP is high, and its binding affinity is weaker.
Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and the substantial difference in binding affinity (-8.7 vs -7.4 kcal/mol), Ligand A would be the preferred candidate *if* the negative half-life could be addressed through structural modifications. However, the negative half-life is a showstopper. Considering the overall profile, and the fact that the negative half-life is likely an error, Ligand B is the more viable candidate.

Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, hERG), better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. The strong binding affinity of Ligand B is compelling, but the poor ADME properties of both ligands are concerning. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety are crucial. While the affinity difference is large, the significantly better metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A make it the more promising candidate, assuming the affinity is still within a reasonable range for activity.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (351.491 and 348.363 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.88) is well below the 140 threshold and excellent for oral absorption. Ligand B (124.17) is still within acceptable limits, but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.703) is slightly below the optimal 1-3 range, potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (0.317) is even lower, raising more concerns about permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD, which is within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 4 HBA, within the acceptable limit of <=10. Ligand B has 8 HBA, still acceptable, but higher.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.632 and 0.738), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (4.731) has a very low DILI risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (63.397) has a significantly higher DILI risk, which is a major concern.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (36.371) and Ligand B (61.264) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.856 and -4.969), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be difficult to interpret without further context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.599 and -2.648), which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.198) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.015) also has a very low hERG risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-7.488) has excellent metabolic stability (negative value indicates low clearance). Ligand B (7.191) has a moderate clearance, which is less desirable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (5.337) has a reasonable half-life. Ligand B (-17.861) has a very short half-life, which is a significant drawback.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.014 and 0.019).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.3).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is significantly better due to its much lower DILI risk, superior metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. While both ligands have issues with predicted permeability and solubility, the DILI and metabolic stability concerns with Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme target. The slightly better affinity of Ligand A further strengthens its position.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (348.393) is slightly better.
2. **TPSA:** A (41.57) is good for oral absorption (<140). B (93.7) is higher, potentially impacting absorption.
3. **logP:** A (4.724) is a bit high, potentially causing solubility issues or off-target effects. B (2.131) is optimal.
4. **HBD:** A (1) is good. B (4) is acceptable but higher.
5. **HBA:** A (2) is good. B (3) is acceptable.
6. **QED:** A (0.849) is excellent, indicating high drug-likeness. B (0.606) is still acceptable, but less optimal.
7. **DILI:** A (65.103) is concerning, indicating a higher risk of liver injury. B (46.336) is much better, suggesting lower risk.
8. **BBB:** A (70.415) is good, but SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical. B (53.16) is lower and less relevant.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.343) is very poor. B (-5.05) is also poor, but slightly better. Both suggest very low intestinal absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-5.067) is very poor. B (-2.52) is also poor, but better than A.
11. **hERG:** A (0.791) is acceptable. B (0.449) is better, indicating lower cardiotoxicity risk.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (100.262) is high, indicating rapid metabolism. B (-2.161) is excellent, indicating high metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (19.095) is good. B (52.454) is excellent.

15. **Affinity:** A (-10.3) is significantly stronger than B (-7). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Decision:**
While Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity, its poor solubility, high DILI risk, and high metabolic clearance are major drawbacks. Ligand B, despite a weaker affinity, has superior metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), lower DILI risk, and better hERG profile. The Caco-2 and solubility are still poor for both, but B is better. The substantial difference in affinity (-10.3 vs -7) is a strong point for A, but the ADME/Tox profile of B is much more favorable, and these are critical for *in vivo* viability. Considering the overall profile, the improved ADMET properties of Ligand B outweigh the affinity difference.
Therefore, I would choose **Ligand B** as the more viable drug candidate.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.878) is significantly better than Ligand B (0.594), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (11.361) is *much* better than Ligand A (69.252). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** Ligand A (63.784) is better than Ligand B (34.858), but BBB is not a high priority for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.028 and -5.062). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability *in vitro*. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.872) is better than Ligand B (-0.924), indicating better solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.339) is better than Ligand B (0.057), indicating lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (33.127) is better than Ligand B (14.762), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar negative half-lives (-9.084 and -8.971). This is concerning and suggests rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.023) is better than Ligand B (0.011), indicating lower P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.3 kcal/mol) is slightly better than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.

Ligand A has better overall ADME properties, a slightly better binding affinity, and a much better QED score. The negative Caco-2 values for both are a concern, but the affinity difference for A is substantial. Given the enzyme-kinase focus, the better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and affinity of Ligand A are more important than the lower DILI score of Ligand B. The DILI risk of Ligand A is still acceptable (<60).

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.716 and -4.769), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant drawback for both compounds.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.828 and -2.551), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A has a slightly higher hERG risk (0.858) than Ligand B (0.579), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a lower microsomal clearance (12.067 mL/min/kg) than Ligand A (80.85 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a longer in vitro half-life (-9.45 hours) than Ligand A (11.163 hours), which is also favorable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A has a higher P-gp efflux liability (0.693) than Ligand B (0.138), which could reduce oral bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.9 kcal/mol) than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the significantly better binding affinity of Ligand A, the high DILI risk, poor metabolic stability (high Cl_mic), and higher P-gp efflux are major drawbacks. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, exhibits a much better safety profile (low DILI), improved metabolic stability, and lower P-gp efflux. The poor Caco-2 and solubility are concerns for both, but these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety are crucial.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (38.414) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (26.521), meaning B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (25.238 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand A (5.596 hours), which is a major benefit.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.134) shows lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.213), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage that could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much better binding affinity and a longer half-life, both critical for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher TPSA, and a worse hERG profile. Ligand A has better ADME properties overall, particularly regarding safety (DILI, hERG) and permeability (TPSA). The difference in binding affinity is significant (1.3 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, this is often enough to overcome moderate ADME liabilities, *provided* the safety profile isn't severely compromised. In this case, the DILI and hERG risks of Ligand B are concerning.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.67) is significantly better than Ligand B (138.68). Lower TPSA generally correlates with better cell permeability, crucial for kinase inhibitors to reach their intracellular target. Ligand B is approaching the upper limit for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (1.622) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (-0.951) is slightly below 1, which *could* indicate potential permeability issues, though not drastically.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) is preferable to Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=7). Both are within acceptable limits, but fewer H-bonds generally improve permeability.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.893) has a much higher QED score than Ligand B (0.579), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (57.425) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (67.429), which is a positive. However, both are still within an acceptable range.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (53.587) and Ligand B (45.909) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative (-5.093 and -5.614), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are also negative (-1.68 and -1.814), indicating poor aqueous solubility, which could hinder bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.115) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.076), a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (30.927) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (16.069), meaning it's metabolized faster. Ligand B exhibits better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (4.685) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-0.988), which is a positive.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both are very low (0.104 and 0.027), indicating minimal P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (-8.5 and -8.7 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a better QED, TPSA, H-bonding profile, and significantly lower hERG risk. However, Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and a slightly lower DILI risk. The poor Caco-2 and solubility for both are concerning. Given the priority for metabolic stability in kinase inhibitors, and the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is slightly more promising, but the solubility and permeability issues of both are major drawbacks that would require addressing through formulation or further chemical modification. However, the hERG risk of ligand A is a significant concern.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better safety profiles (DILI and hERG) and better solubility. While Ligand A has a worse Caco-2 permeability and higher clearance, the improved safety profile and solubility are critical. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B might be offset by its higher DILI and hERG risk. Given the enzyme class and the importance of minimizing toxicity, I lean towards Ligand A.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (54.88) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption. Ligand B (89.87) is also acceptable, though higher.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.937) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (1.442) is within the optimal range (1-3).
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) and Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=4) both fall within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (Ligand A: 0.523, Ligand B: 0.713), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a very high DILI risk (99.147%), which is a major red flag. Ligand B has a much lower and acceptable DILI risk (19.698%).
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand A (73.168%) is higher than Ligand B (25.126%), but this is not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.836 and -4.732). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.713 and -1.815), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but potentially manageable with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.739) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.248), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (81.086) has higher microsomal clearance, suggesting lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (12.095) has much lower clearance, indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (124.989 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (-8.113 hours). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and likely indicates very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.555) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.071), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.2 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-5.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference (>1.5 kcal/mol advantage).
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, the extremely high DILI risk (99.147%) is a critical issue that outweighs its benefits. The negative half-life for Ligand B is also concerning, but the lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability make it a more promising starting point for optimization. The affinity difference is significant, but can potentially be addressed through medicinal chemistry efforts on Ligand B.

9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (A: -5.112, B: -4.946), which is unusual. Negative values are not interpretable, and suggest a problem with the data or the model used to generate it. Assuming these represent very *low* permeability, this is a concern.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (A: -4.528, B: -2.945), which is also unusual and suggests poor aqueous solubility. Again, assuming these represent very *low* solubility, this is a concern.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.765, B: 0.492), which is good.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand B (31.93) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (40.948), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand B (25.759) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-12.358). This is a major advantage.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.563, B: 0.194), which is favorable. Ligand B is better.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a *very* significant advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For an enzyme like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While both ligands have acceptable hERG risk, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, the binding affinity difference is huge. A difference of >8 kcal/mol is extremely significant and likely outweighs the ADME advantages of Ligand B. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning for both, but a potent molecule might overcome these issues with formulation strategies.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the ADME advantages of Ligand B, the dramatically superior binding affinity of Ligand A makes it the more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (344.459 Da) is slightly lower, which is generally favorable for permeability.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (70.4) is better than Ligand B (87.66). Both are below 140, but lower TPSA generally correlates with better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.731) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.609) is a bit low. A logP below 1 can sometimes hinder permeation.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (2/3) and HBA (4/4) counts, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.89) has a significantly better QED score than Ligand B (0.55), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (29.779) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand A (41.179), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Ligand A (87.864) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (76.619), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.864) and Ligand B (-4.641) both have negative values, which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a major concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.53) and Ligand B (-2.169) both have negative values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG risk (0.811 and 0.381, respectively), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (38.247) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (42.124), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-16.833) has a negative half-life, which is impossible. This is a major red flag and suggests a serious issue with the data or the compound's stability. Ligand A (72.584) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.124 and 0.045, respectively), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.0 and -8.8 kcal/mol, respectively). Ligand B is slightly better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand B has a slightly better binding affinity and lower DILI risk and microsomal clearance, the negative in vitro half-life is a critical flaw. This indicates a fundamental problem with the compound's stability and makes it highly unlikely to be a viable drug candidate. Ligand A, despite its higher DILI risk and slightly lower QED, has a reasonable half-life and acceptable properties across most other parameters. The poor solubility and permeability are concerning for both, but could potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.

**DILI:** Ligand A (50.33) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (30.787). Lower is better, so Ligand B is preferable.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but Ligand A (78.519) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (52.656).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.648) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.017). Lower values suggest poorer permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.859) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-3.04). Solubility is important for bioavailability, making Ligand B more favorable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.757) has a higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.282). Lower is better, making Ligand B significantly safer.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (57.815) has higher clearance than Ligand B (46.067), indicating lower metabolic stability. Lower clearance is preferred.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (59.478) has a better half-life than Ligand B (-22.048). Longer half-life is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.51) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.046), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.2 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-9.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, and could potentially outweigh some of its ADME drawbacks. A 0.9 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has superior ADME properties (logP, DILI, solubility, hERG, clearance) and is generally more drug-like. However, Ligand A boasts a considerably stronger binding affinity (-10.2 vs -9.3 kcal/mol). Given that we are targeting a kinase (enzyme), potency is paramount. The difference in binding affinity is large enough to potentially overcome the higher logP and slightly worse ADME profile of Ligand A, *provided* the solubility and hERG risks can be mitigated through formulation or further optimization. The improved half-life is also a positive.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.407 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (56.15) is significantly better than Ligand B (74.76). Lower TPSA generally favors better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.838) is optimal, while Ligand B (1.554) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (1) is preferable to Ligand B (0). While both are low, a single donor can sometimes improve solubility without significantly impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 4 HBA, which is within the acceptable range.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.771 and 0.68), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (72.586) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (21.636). This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (69.135 and 77.084), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with the experimental setup or prediction method. However, we can still compare them relatively. Ligand A (-4.757) is slightly worse than Ligand B (-4.678).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.486) is worse than Ligand B (-2.074). Solubility is important for bioavailability, and Ligand B has a clear advantage here.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.69) has a higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.352), which is a concern for potential cardiotoxicity.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (40.378) has a lower microsomal clearance, indicating better metabolic stability, which is crucial for enzymes. Ligand A (61.293) is higher, suggesting faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.454) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (16.399). This further supports the better metabolic stability of Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.649) has higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.079). Lower P-gp efflux is desirable for better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2). While both are excellent, the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, better solubility, and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, the ADME properties of Ligand B are significantly more favorable for development as an enzyme inhibitor. The lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but the other advantages outweigh this.

**8. BBB:** Ligand A (16.479) has very low BBB penetration, while Ligand B (64.831) is moderate. BBB is not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.203) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.572) is slightly better, but still not great.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.988) has poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-3.453) is even worse. This is a significant concern for bioavailability.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.199 and 0.363 percentile), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (0.809) has low microsomal clearance, indicating good metabolic stability. Ligand B (53.489) has high microsomal clearance, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-18.314) has a very long in vitro half-life, which is highly desirable. Ligand B (-3.957) has a shorter half-life.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux (0.036 and 0.095 percentile), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have identical binding affinities (-8.1 kcal/mol), which is excellent and the most important factor.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For kinase inhibitors, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial. While both ligands have excellent affinity and hERG profiles, Ligand A excels in metabolic stability (low Cl_mic, long t1/2). However, its poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are major drawbacks. Ligand B has poor metabolic stability and solubility, but slightly better permeability.
Considering the balance, the longer half-life and better metabolic stability of Ligand A are more valuable for an enzyme inhibitor, even with the solubility concerns. Solubility can be addressed with formulation strategies, but poor metabolic stability is harder to overcome.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-11.624) has a negative half-life, which is unusual and suggests rapid degradation. Ligand B (27.973) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.03) has very low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.789) has moderate P-gp efflux.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.4) has slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.8). While the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold, it's still a positive for A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is preferable despite its poor Caco-2 and solubility, and negative half-life. Its significantly lower DILI risk, excellent hERG profile, and better binding affinity outweigh the drawbacks. Ligand B has a very high microsomal clearance, which is a major concern for an enzyme target. While it has better BBB penetration and half-life, the high clearance and worse DILI risk make it less attractive. The solubility issues with both are concerning, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (345.487 and 346.515 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (64.41) is higher than Ligand B (40.62). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is significantly better, increasing the likelihood of good cellular permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (3.122 and 3.618), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could potentially lead to some off-target effects, but is not a major concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have low HBD counts (0). Ligand A has 3 HBA, and Ligand B has 2. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.735 and 0.661), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, low DILI risk (11.128 and 11.361 percentile), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have good BBB penetration (75.843 and 84.025 percentile), though this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.403 and -4.698). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with permeability prediction, or the values are on a log scale where negative values indicate low permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.641 and -3.133). Similar to Caco-2, this is concerning and suggests poor aqueous solubility, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.587 and 0.495 percentile), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (42.776 mL/min/kg) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (52.625 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-17.787 hours) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-10.595 hours). This is a major positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.04 and 0.315 percentile), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This 2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could overcome some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. However, Ligand B has better TPSA, a longer half-life, and slightly better BBB penetration. Both have concerningly low predicted solubility and permeability. The improved metabolic stability of Ligand A is also a plus. Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, I believe Ligand A is more likely to be a viable drug candidate, despite the solubility/permeability concerns. These issues could potentially be addressed through formulation strategies.

Ligand B has a better QED score and a more reasonable half-life, but its higher DILI risk and higher clearance are concerning. The poor solubility and permeability are problematic for both.
Despite the negative half-life for Ligand A, the substantial difference in metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and DILI risk, coupled with comparable binding affinity, makes Ligand A slightly more promising *if* the half-life data is an error. The poor solubility and permeability would need to be addressed for either compound.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (359.294 and 349.387 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (41.49) is significantly better than Ligand B (106.08). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred for kinases. Ligand B's TPSA is relatively high and could hinder absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.705) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.622) is quite low. Low logP can lead to poor membrane permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (2 HBD, 3 HBA) is better balanced. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 5 HBA, which is acceptable, but less ideal than A.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.818 and 0.727), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (38.736 and 33.579), which is excellent.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (63.048 and 63.784). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-5.063 and -5.07), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a red flag for both. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and don't necessarily mean *zero* permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.226 and -2.005). This is also a concern, indicating poor solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.922) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.24), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.514) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-6.313). This means Ligand B is likely more metabolically stable, which is a key consideration for kinases.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (7.664) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (27.693). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.469) has higher P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023). Lower P-gp efflux is preferred, making Ligand B better in this regard.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol can outweigh other drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor Caco-2 and solubility values for both, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. The substantially stronger binding affinity (-7.7 kcal/mol vs 0 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. Furthermore, Ligand B has better metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic) and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand A has a slightly longer half-life, the potency difference is far more critical for an enzyme inhibitor. The TPSA and logP values of Ligand A are better, but the affinity difference outweighs these factors.

Ligand B has superior binding affinity and a better logP, but has a higher DILI risk and higher Cl_mic.
The difference in binding affinity (-7.6 vs -9.5 kcal/mol) is substantial (1.9 kcal/mol), and for an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While Ligand A's safety profile is attractive, the significantly stronger binding of Ligand B is likely to translate to greater efficacy *in vivo*, even considering the slightly higher DILI and clearance.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and longer half-life, but suffers from higher DILI risk, higher P-gp efflux, and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), lower DILI, lower P-gp efflux, and lower hERG risk. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both. However, the improved metabolic stability and safety profile of Ligand A, combined with a still-strong binding affinity, make it the more promising candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (340.427 Da) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (67.23) is higher than Ligand B (42.43). While both are reasonably low, Ligand B is better positioned for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.102) is optimal, while Ligand B (4.233) is pushing the upper limit. High logP can lead to solubility issues and off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 0 HBD and 3 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.857) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.727), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.966) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (13.106). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (89.104) has a higher BBB score, but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.005) has a negative Caco-2 value, which is concerning. Ligand B (-4.461) is also negative, but less so. Both suggest poor intestinal absorption, but A is worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.273) has very poor aqueous solubility, while Ligand B (-3.987) is also poor, but slightly better. Solubility is a crucial factor for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.293) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.652), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.082) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (95.933), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.262) has a shorter half-life than Ligand B (20.276). Longer half-life is generally preferred.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.299 and 0.617, respectively).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8 kcal/mol) has significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. A difference of >1.5 kcal/mol is considered substantial.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a better QED and lower Cl_mic, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-7.8 vs 0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the drawbacks of its higher logP and slightly higher DILI risk. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability of Ligand A are also major concerns. The substantial affinity advantage of Ligand B makes it the more promising candidate.

2025-04-17 16:44:52,402 - INFO - Okay, let's analyze these two ligands for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors.
**Ligand A:** [448.308, 51.02, 4.115, 0, 4, 0.565, 59.17, 79.217, -4.889, -4.085, 0.847, 98.355, 103.49, 0.571, -9.4]
**Ligand B:** [346.402, 58.64, 2.766, 1, 3, 0.806, 44.048, 73.129, -4.406, -3.239, 0.601, 35.557, -15.902, 0.207, -7.7]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Ligand A (448.308 Da) is within the ideal range. Ligand B (346.402 Da) is also within range, but closer to the lower limit.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (51.02) is good for oral absorption. Ligand B (58.64) is also acceptable, though slightly higher.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (4.115) is a bit high, potentially leading to solubility issues or off-target effects. Ligand B (2.766) is optimal.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (0) is good. Ligand B (1) is also acceptable.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (4) is good. Ligand B (3) is good.
6. **QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.565, B: 0.806), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is better.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (59.17) is approaching a concerning level for DILI risk. Ligand B (44.048) is much better, indicating a lower risk.
8. **BBB:** Both have reasonable BBB penetration (A: 79.217, B: 73.129), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor.
9. **Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a significant concern for both.
11. **hERG:** Ligand A (0.847) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.601).
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (98.355) has a high microsomal clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability. Ligand B (35.557) has much better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (103.49) has a good in vitro half-life. Ligand B (-15.902) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and suggests an issue with the data or the compound's stability.
14. **Pgp:** Ligand A (0.571) has moderate P-gp efflux. Ligand B (0.207) has lower P-gp efflux, which is favorable.
15. **Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol) has significantly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial. Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is a major advantage. However, it has a high DILI risk, high Cl_mic, and a potentially problematic logP. Ligand B has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better Cl_mic, better logP, lower Pgp efflux) but significantly weaker binding affinity. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a major red flag.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning ADME properties of Ligand A, the significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.4 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol) is a substantial advantage that could outweigh the drawbacks, *provided* the ADME issues can be addressed through further optimization. The negative half-life of Ligand B is a showstopper.
Therefore, I would choose **Ligand A** as the more promising starting point for drug development, with a clear understanding that significant medicinal chemistry effort will be needed to improve its ADME profile, especially DILI and metabolic stability.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (368.849 and 375.485 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (59.29) is well below the 140 threshold and quite favorable. Ligand B (71.09) is still acceptable but less optimal.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.287) is slightly high, potentially leading to solubility issues. Ligand B (3.013) is within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (1 HBD, 5 HBA) and Ligand B (2 HBD, 4 HBA) both have acceptable numbers of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.584 and 0.734, respectively), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (90.229 percentile) than Ligand B (44.591 percentile). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (65.374) and Ligand B (58.317) are both moderate.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests potential issues with intestinal absorption. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and indicates poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.686) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.363), but both are reasonably low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (72.304) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (45.238), indicating lower metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (51.612 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand B (4.856 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.676) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.089), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial difference.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate despite the slightly higher logP and lower half-life. The significantly lower DILI risk and substantially better binding affinity outweigh the drawbacks. The longer half-life of Ligand A is attractive, but the high DILI risk is a major red flag. The superior binding affinity of Ligand B suggests it will be more potent and effective at lower doses, potentially mitigating some of the ADME concerns.

**8. BBB:** Ligand A (39.511) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (52.811). Since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less critical.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.88) is worse than Ligand B (-5.406). Both are negative, suggesting poor permeability, but B is slightly better.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.153) is better than Ligand B (-1.865). Higher solubility is preferred.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.245) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.484), which is favorable.
**12. Microsomal Clearance (Cl_mic):** Ligand A (-0.578) has a lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-14.603), indicating greater metabolic stability. This is a key consideration for kinase inhibitors.

**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.029) has a lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.099), which is favorable for bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-8.1 and -8.0 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A is superior. It has a better QED score, better solubility, lower hERG risk, significantly better metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. While Ligand B has slightly better Caco-2 permeability and BBB penetration (which are less important for a non-CNS target), the advantages of Ligand A in key ADME/Tox properties and drug-likeness outweigh these minor differences. The binding affinity is almost identical, so the ADME properties become the deciding factor.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.475 and 348.447 Da) fall comfortably within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Both ligands (83.36 and 87.32) are below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption, which is positive.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (1.52 and 1.263) within the optimal 1-3 range, suggesting good permeability and reasonable solubility.
**H-Bond Donors & Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 4 HBA, while Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA. Both are within acceptable limits (<=5 HBD and <=10 HBA).

**DILI:** Ligand A (15.626) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (26.367). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (50.872 and 52.036), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.997 and -5.036). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the absolute difference is small.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.277 and -1.695). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the difference is small.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.121 and 0.119), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (15.122 mL/min/kg) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (0.709 mL/min/kg). This means Ligand B is much more metabolically stable, a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (12.95 hours) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (1.62 hours). This is a positive for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.032 and 0.016), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar binding affinities (-7.3 and -7.2 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is superior in terms of metabolic stability (Cl_mic) and has a slightly better QED score. However, Ligand A has a significantly lower DILI risk and a longer half-life. Given that SRC kinases are not typically CNS targets, the similar BBB values are not a major factor. The slight difference in binding affinity is negligible. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but similar. The lower DILI risk and longer half-life of Ligand A are more important for an enzyme inhibitor, outweighing the metabolic stability advantage of Ligand B.

**8. BBB:** Ligand A (70.609) has a better BBB penetration than Ligand B (60.76), but this is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.449 and -4.673), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and might not be directly comparable without knowing the experimental setup.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-1.525) has better solubility than Ligand B (-3.341).
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.208) has a much lower hERG inhibition risk than Ligand B (0.588). This is a crucial advantage.

**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-0.75) has a slightly better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-26.468).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.036) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.521), which is favorable.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (0). This is a substantial advantage and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, higher hERG inhibition, and higher microsomal clearance. Ligand A has better ADME properties across the board except for binding affinity.
**Overall Assessment:** While Ligand B boasts a superior binding affinity, the significantly worse ADME profile, particularly the higher DILI and hERG risks, makes it a less desirable candidate. The improved ADME properties of Ligand A, specifically the lower DILI and hERG risks, combined with acceptable solubility and metabolic stability, make it the more promising drug candidate, even with the weaker binding affinity. Further optimization of Ligand A to improve its potency could yield an excellent drug candidate.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a lower DILI risk and a slightly better binding affinity, and slightly better solubility. However, Ligand A demonstrates superior metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), better QED, and a lower hERG risk. The poor Caco-2 permeability for both is a concern, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the excellent metabolic stability and potency of Ligand A, combined with its lower hERG risk, outweigh the DILI concern (which can be further investigated and potentially mitigated through structural modifications). The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is not enough to overcome the metabolic liabilities.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.719) has a better Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.237).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.672 and -2.738). This is a significant concern for both.
**hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition liability (0.113 and 0.068), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (4.738) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (40.213), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a crucial advantage for an enzyme target.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.506) and Ligand B (-5.113) both have negative values, which is unusual. Lower values suggest poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.84 and -0.673), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can potentially be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.369) has a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.564), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.141) exhibits significantly lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability, a key factor for enzyme inhibitors. Ligand B (19.004) has high clearance.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-4.324) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (2.072).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.06 and 0.01).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). However, the difference is relatively small (0.6 kcal/mol) and is likely outweighed by the superior ADME properties of Ligand A.
**Conclusion:**
Considering the priorities for enzyme inhibitors (potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk), Ligand A is the more promising candidate. While Ligand B has slightly better binding affinity, Ligand A demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), lower DILI risk, and lower hERG inhibition. The solubility is a concern for both, but the ADME advantages of Ligand A are more critical for overall drug development success.

**DILI:** Ligand A (70.88) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (34.82), which is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Ligand A (27.491) has a low BBB penetration, which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (87.553) has high BBB penetration, which is irrelevant here and could even be a negative if off-target CNS effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.26) shows poor Caco-2 permeability. Ligand B (-4.873) is also poor, but slightly better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-4.351 and -4.047 respectively). This is a major drawback for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.726) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.978), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both ligands have similar microsomal clearance (A: 36.008, B: 36.139), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (56.974) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-16.743), which is a major advantage.

Ligand B has a much better binding affinity. However, it suffers from higher DILI risk, lower solubility, significantly higher microsomal clearance, and a shorter half-life. Ligand A has superior ADME properties (lower DILI, better solubility, better metabolic stability, longer half-life) but weaker binding affinity. Given the importance of metabolic stability and a reasonable half-life for kinase inhibitors, and the relatively good affinity of Ligand A, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate, despite the slightly lower potency. The potency difference *might* be overcome with further optimization, while fixing the ADME issues of Ligand B would be more challenging.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (85.37) is slightly higher than Ligand B (78.27), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and acceptable for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.805 and 2.156), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 2 HBD, and Ligand B has 1. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have 6 HBA, which is within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.778 and 0.899), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (87.902) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (73.09). This is a significant concern, as higher DILI is undesirable.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (77.2) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (55.021), but this is not a primary factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.628 and -4.672). These values are unusual and suggest poor permeability, but are likely reported as logP values and therefore are not directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-4.134 and -3.322). These values are unusual and suggest poor solubility, but are likely reported as logS values and therefore are not directly comparable.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.388 and 0.303), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (26.593) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (32.374), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (6.988 hours) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-13.214 hours). The negative value for Ligand A is concerning and suggests rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.206 and 0.129).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol), although both are excellent. The 0.8 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate. While both ligands have good potency and drug-like properties, Ligand B exhibits a lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and slightly improved binding affinity. The negative values for solubility and Caco-2 permeability are concerning for both, but the other advantages of Ligand B outweigh these concerns.

7. **DILI:** Ligand A (38.503) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (45.366), indicating a safer profile.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (97.945) shows excellent BBB penetration, while Ligand B (73.827) is good, but not as high. While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret.
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, again making interpretation difficult.

**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (28.583) has lower clearance than Ligand B (36.773), suggesting better metabolic stability. This is a positive for A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-31.49) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and likely indicates a data error or a very rapidly metabolized compound. Ligand B (11.551) has a reasonable half-life. This is a major advantage for B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.011 and 0.042), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a significantly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While both have solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B has a much better logP, lower DILI risk, a reasonable half-life, and, crucially, a significantly improved binding affinity. The negative half-life for Ligand A is a major concern, and even ignoring that, the superior binding affinity of B is likely to be decisive. The slightly better metabolic stability of A is not enough to overcome the other advantages of B.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 2 HBDs, which is good. Ligand A has 7 HBAs and Ligand B has 5 HBAs, both acceptable (<=10).
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.665 and 0.56) above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (59.907) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (35.944). This is a significant concern.
**BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration (40.946 and 30.593), which is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.164 and -5.177). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and can be misleading.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.345 and -0.894). This is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.178 and 0.157), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-2.176) has a *negative* microsomal clearance, which is not physically possible and indicates an issue with the data or model. Ligand B (20.539) has a moderate clearance.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (30.197 hours) has a better in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-6.954 hours). Again, the negative value for ligand B is concerning.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-16.381) has a longer half-life than Ligand B (2.784), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux (0.001 and 0.248 respectively), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better safety (DILI, hERG) and pharmacokinetic properties (Cl_mic, t1/2), but suffers from poor solubility, permeability, and *very* weak binding affinity. Ligand B has excellent binding affinity, good QED, and reasonable logP, but has a high DILI risk and poor solubility.
The difference in binding affinity is substantial (>7 kcal/mol difference). For an enzyme target, potency is paramount. While the DILI risk for Ligand B is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications in later stages of optimization. The poor ADME properties of Ligand A, especially the extremely weak binding, make it a less promising starting point.

7. **DILI:** A (27.181) is excellent (low risk), while B (6.049) is also very good. No significant difference here.
8. **BBB:** A (54.556) is moderate, while B (94.184) is very high. While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative (-4.71 and -4.653), suggesting poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
10. **Solubility:** A (-2.837) is slightly better than B (-4.134), indicating slightly better aqueous solubility.
11. **hERG:** A (0.194) is very low risk, while B (0.705) is slightly higher but still acceptable. A is preferable here.

15. **Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.1 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are most important.
* **Affinity:** Equal.
* **Metabolic Stability (Cl_mic):** B is better.
* **Solubility:** A is slightly better.
* **hERG:** A is better.
* **t1/2:** A is better.
**Overall Assessment:**
While ligand B has a better QED and BBB, ligand A has superior solubility, hERG profile, and *in vitro* half-life. The significantly lower Pgp efflux for ligand A is also a major advantage. The difference in metabolic stability (Cl_mic) is a concern, but the other advantages of ligand A, particularly the better safety profile (hERG) and longer half-life, outweigh this. The similar Caco-2 values suggest permeability will be a challenge for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-7.355) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a data error, and we can't rely on this value. Ligand A (27.787) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.405) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.039), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol), but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the better candidate despite the questionable half-life data. Its lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and lower hERG risk are crucial advantages for an enzyme target. While its logP is lower and solubility is poor, the superior safety profile and metabolic stability outweigh these drawbacks. The small difference in binding affinity is not enough to favor Ligand A, especially considering its higher DILI and clearance. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both compounds are concerning and would require significant optimization.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.323 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (366.571 Da) is also acceptable.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (124.07) is better than Ligand B (53.43), falling below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption. Ligand B is excellent, suggesting good absorption potential.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.379) is within the optimal range (1-3). Ligand B (4.661) is higher, potentially leading to solubility issues and off-target interactions, but not dramatically so.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 7 HBA, both acceptable. Ligand B has 1 HBD and 4 HBA, also acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.625 and 0.647), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a DILI risk of 97.596, which is very high and a significant concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk of 24.467, which is excellent.
**BBB:** Ligand A has a low BBB penetration (20.318), which isn't critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration (80.807), which is irrelevant in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.92 and -4.609), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and may not be directly comparable.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-5.15 and -4.229), indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.505) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.859), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (96.632) has a significantly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (34.599), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a major drawback for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-2.571) has a negative half-life, which is not physically possible and suggests an issue with the data. Ligand B (15.571) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.069) has very low P-gp efflux, which is favorable. Ligand B (0.952) has a higher P-gp efflux, which could reduce bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.6 kcal/mol), with Ligand B being slightly more potent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the similar binding affinities, Ligand B is significantly hampered by its high microsomal clearance and poor metabolic stability. The extremely high DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a deal-breaker. While both have solubility issues, the metabolic stability and DILI profile of Ligand B are much more favorable. The negative half-life for ligand A is also a major concern.

Ligand B is the more promising candidate. While Ligand A has slightly better affinity and permeability, its significantly higher DILI risk and poorer metabolic stability (higher clearance, shorter half-life) are major concerns. Ligand B, despite a slightly lower affinity and logP, presents a much more favorable ADMET profile, particularly the low DILI risk and improved metabolic stability. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are paramount. The small difference in binding affinity can likely be optimized in subsequent iterations of drug design.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (339.439 Da) is slightly lower, which could be advantageous for permeability, but both are acceptable.
**TPSA:** Both ligands have TPSA values (61.44 and 65.2) well below the 140 A^2 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have logP values (3.975 and 3.52) within the optimal range of 1-3.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD and 3 HBA, which are within the acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have QED values above 0.5 (0.783 and 0.691), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (69.717%) compared to Ligand B (37.263%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (79.721%) shows better penetration than Ligand B (60.062%).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's difficult to interpret the magnitude of the effect.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not specified.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.736 and 0.701).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (73.957 mL/min/kg) than Ligand B (85.125 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Both ligands have similar in vitro half-lives (35.137 and 33.511 hours).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.582 and 0.218).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-9 kcal/mol) than Ligand A (-6.8 kcal/mol). This is a substantial difference, exceeding the 1.5 kcal/mol advantage threshold.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having slightly better metabolic stability and BBB penetration, the significantly higher DILI risk and substantially weaker binding affinity make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B's superior binding affinity outweighs the slightly higher metabolic clearance and lower BBB penetration. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Ligand A:** [374.428, 58.2, 2.379, 2, 3, 0.735, 24.544, 87.088, -4.933, -3.714, 0.48, 39.954, 0.016, 0.062, -6.5]
**Ligand B:** [381.904, 59.22, 4.907, 1, 4, 0.661, 63.048, 82.784, -4.825, -5.311, 0.823, 79.895, 59.83, 0.747, -8]
**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (374.428) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability.
2. **TPSA:** Both are reasonably low (A: 58.2, B: 59.22), well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
3. **logP:** A (2.379) is optimal, while B (4.907) is high. High logP can lead to solubility issues and off-target interactions.
4. **HBD:** A (2) and B (1) are both acceptable, below the 5 threshold.
5. **HBA:** A (3) and B (4) are both acceptable, below the 10 threshold.
6. **QED:** A (0.735) is better than B (0.661), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (24.544) is significantly better than B (63.048). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
8. **BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (A: 87.088, B: 82.784), but A is slightly better.
9. **Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. A (-4.933) is slightly better than B (-4.825).
10. **Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. A (-3.714) is slightly better than B (-5.311).
11. **hERG:** A (0.48) is much lower than B (0.823), indicating a lower risk of cardiotoxicity.
12. **Cl_mic:** A (39.954) is significantly better than B (79.895), indicating better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** A (0.016) is very short, while B (59.83) is excellent. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.062) is much lower than B (0.747), indicating less P-gp efflux.
15. **Affinity:** B (-8) is 1.5 kcal/mol better than A (-6.5). This is a substantial difference in potency.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity (-8 kcal/mol vs -6.5 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage, and a 1.5 kcal/mol difference is often enough to overcome other issues. However, Ligand B has concerningly high logP, DILI risk, and Pgp efflux. It also has a higher hERG risk and significantly worse metabolic stability (higher Cl_mic).
Ligand A has a much better safety profile (lower DILI, hERG, and Pgp) and better metabolic stability. Its solubility and permeability are slightly better than Ligand B. However, its affinity is considerably weaker.
Considering the priorities for an enzyme target, the substantial affinity advantage of Ligand B is likely to outweigh its ADME/Tox liabilities *if* those liabilities can be addressed through further optimization. The poor metabolic stability is a significant concern, but the potency difference is large.
Therefore, I would prioritize Ligand B for further investigation, with a strong focus on improving its metabolic stability and reducing its DILI risk.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.662 and 0.733, respectively), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand B (36.448) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand A (65.491). This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (69.833) is higher, but not a deciding factor.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. Ligand A (-5.314) is worse than Ligand B (-4.472).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both are negative, indicating poor solubility. Ligand A (-2.091) is worse than Ligand B (-4.121).

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This 1.6 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has superior binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand B exhibits a much lower DILI risk, better logP, and slightly better solubility. The poor Caco-2 and solubility of both are concerning, but the strong binding affinity of Ligand A is a significant advantage for an enzyme target. Given the importance of potency for kinases, and the substantial difference in binding affinity, I believe Ligand A is the more promising candidate despite its higher DILI risk. Further optimization could address the DILI concern.

**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (86.817) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (79.256), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-3.998) has poor Caco-2 permeability, while Ligand B (-4.94) is also poor, but slightly worse.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-6.11) has very poor aqueous solubility, which is a significant drawback. Ligand B (-3.47) has better solubility, although still not ideal.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.568) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.334), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (110.513) has higher microsomal clearance, indicating lower metabolic stability. Ligand B (45.348) has significantly lower clearance, a major advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-27.202) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (1.367), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.363) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.213), which could be beneficial for bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. The difference of 1.6 kcal/mol is significant.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's superior binding affinity, its poor solubility and metabolic stability are major concerns. Ligand B, while having a slightly weaker affinity, exhibits much better ADME properties, particularly in terms of solubility, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and acceptable hERG risk.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (335.407 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (350.375 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (61.44) is significantly better than Ligand B (109). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand A is much closer to the ideal range for permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.898) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.461) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=2, HBA=3) is better balanced. Ligand B (HBD=1, HBA=7) has a higher number of HBA, which could impact permeability. Both are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.907, B: 0.84), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (71.268) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (57.929), but both are acceptable.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand A (75.145) is better than Ligand B (62.466). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS effects are desired.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we can still compare them relatively.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.598) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.018). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.846) has lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (3.514), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (21.506 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (7.175 hours), which is highly desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.221) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.032), indicating better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.2 kcal/mol). This is a 1.6 kcal/mol difference, which is substantial and could potentially outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the stronger binding affinity of Ligand B, Ligand A is the more promising candidate. The significantly better logP, TPSA, hERG risk, metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and P-gp efflux profile of Ligand A outweigh the slightly weaker binding. The unusual negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning and would require further investigation, but the relative comparison still favors Ligand A. The enzyme-specific priorities (stability, solubility, and safety) are better addressed by Ligand A.

* **HBA:** 7 - Good (<=10)
* **QED:** 0.764 - Good (>=0.5)
* **DILI:** 63.203 - Moderate (higher risk than A)
* **BBB:** 11.981 - Low (not a concern for a non-CNS target)
* **Caco-2:** -5.308 - Very Poor (negative value is highly concerning)
* **Solubility:** -2.102 - Poor (negative value is concerning)

* **Pgp:** 0.034 - Excellent (very low efflux)
* **Affinity:** -9.0 kcal/mol - Excellent (very strong binding - 1.4 kcal/mol better than A)
**Comparison and Decision:**
Ligand B has a significantly stronger binding affinity (-9.0 vs -7.6 kcal/mol), which is the highest priority for an enzyme inhibitor. It also exhibits excellent metabolic stability (very low Cl_mic) and P-gp efflux liability. However, it suffers from very poor Caco-2 permeability, aqueous solubility, and an implausibly negative in vitro half-life. Ligand A has better solubility, permeability, and half-life, but its metabolic stability is moderate.
Despite the superior affinity of Ligand B, the extremely poor ADME properties (solubility, permeability, half-life) are major red flags. These properties are difficult to overcome with further optimization, and suggest fundamental issues with the molecule's structure. While the strong binding is attractive, a drug needs to reach its target *in vivo*. Ligand A, while not perfect, has a more balanced profile and a better chance of being developed into a viable drug candidate.

Ligand B, despite having a slightly lower affinity, exhibits superior ADME properties, including lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower P-gp efflux. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are paramount.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.079 and 0.197).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.8) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's significantly stronger binding affinity (-7.8 kcal/mol vs 0.0 kcal/mol) and longer half-life are compelling advantages. While Ligand B has a higher DILI risk and slightly worse solubility, the potency difference is substantial enough to prioritize it. The slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand B is also a positive. Ligand A has a better hERG profile and lower DILI, but the lack of significant binding affinity is a critical flaw.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). A (345.487) is slightly lower, which *could* be beneficial for permeability, but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** A (56.41) is better than B (68.62). Both are below 140, suggesting reasonable oral absorption potential, but A is closer to the preferred range for kinase inhibitors.
3. **logP:** A (3.07) is optimal, while B (1.503) is a bit low. Low logP can hinder membrane permeability.
4. **HBD:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good.
5. **HBA:** A (2) is better than B (6). Higher HBA can sometimes reduce permeability.
6. **QED:** A (0.892) is significantly better than B (0.647), indicating a more drug-like profile.
7. **DILI:** A (31.524) is much better than B (8.957). A is well below the 40% threshold, while B is approaching a concerning level.
8. **BBB:** B (82.513) is better than A (70.26). However, since SRC is not a CNS target, this is less crucial.
9. **Caco-2:** A (-4.692) is better than B (-4.633). Higher values indicate better absorption.
10. **Solubility:** A (-3.397) is better than B (-0.915). Solubility is important for bioavailability, and A has a better score.
11. **hERG:** A (0.716) is better than B (0.421). Lower hERG inhibition is crucial for avoiding cardiotoxicity.
12. **Cl_mic:** B (46.934) is significantly better than A (61.454). Lower clearance indicates better metabolic stability.
13. **t1/2:** B (34.037) is much better than A (-16.5). A negative half-life is problematic.
14. **Pgp:** A (0.413) is better than B (0.012). Lower P-gp efflux is desirable for improved bioavailability.
15. **Affinity:** B (-7.6) is slightly better than A (-8.1). While A has a better affinity, the difference is not substantial enough to overcome its other drawbacks.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While B has a slightly better affinity, A has a much better solubility, hERG profile, and DILI risk. However, B's significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and positive t1/2) is a major advantage. The negative half-life of A is a critical flaw.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand A, the significantly better metabolic stability and positive half-life of **Ligand B** make it the more promising drug candidate. The negative half-life of ligand A is a major red flag.

**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.794 and 0.892), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (33.695) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (40.83), both being acceptable (<40 is good).
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (78.402) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (67.584).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.832 and -4.977). This is unusual and indicates poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, and the negative values suggest very low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.277 and -2.643), indicating poor solubility. This is a significant concern.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (0.253 and 0.33).
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (31.5 mL/min/kg) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (42.139 mL/min/kg), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-3.334 hours) has a negative half-life, which is not possible. This is a major red flag. Ligand A (17.428 hours) has a reasonable half-life.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.031 and 0.309).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have similar and strong binding affinities (-8.3 and -8.1 kcal/mol). The difference is minimal.
**Conclusion:**
Considering all factors, **Ligand A** is the more promising candidate. While both have poor solubility and permeability, Ligand B has a nonsensical negative in vitro half-life, making it immediately unsuitable. Ligand A has a better half-life, lower DILI risk, and lower microsomal clearance, all of which are crucial for an enzyme inhibitor. The binding affinity difference is negligible. Therefore, despite the shared solubility/permeability issues, Ligand A is the better starting point for optimization.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (70.958) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (30.748). This is a significant concern.
**8. BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (46.762) and Ligand B (37.844) are both low.
**9. Caco-2:** Both are negative, indicating poor permeability. This is a concern for oral bioavailability.
**10. Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback.
**11. hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.21 and 0.151), which is excellent.
**12. Cl_mic:** Ligand A (13.009) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (5.022). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**13. t1/2:** Ligand A (-10.719) has a negative in vitro half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (-7.5) is also negative, but less so. Negative values here likely indicate rapid degradation, and should be interpreted cautiously.
**14. Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (0.028 and 0.041), which is good.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.5 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 2.3 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate. While both have solubility and permeability issues, Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity, lower DILI risk, and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic).

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (346.515 and 350.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (49.41) is significantly better than Ligand B (83.36). A TPSA under 140 is good for oral absorption, but lower is generally preferred. Ligand B's higher TPSA could hint at poorer permeability.
**logP:** Both ligands have acceptable logP values (3.524 and 2.427, respectively), falling within the 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 2 HBA, while Ligand B has 5. Ligand A is better here, as fewer HBA generally leads to better permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.774 and 0.716), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (12.369) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (35.556). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** While not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC, Ligand A (85.459) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand B (64.831).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.706) has a slightly better (less negative) Caco-2 value than Ligand B (-5.023), suggesting better intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-4.077) has better aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.804). Solubility is important for formulation and bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.52) shows a lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.187). This is a crucial advantage, minimizing cardiotoxicity risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (72.431) has a higher (worse) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (24.188). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (14.903) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-12.466). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.273) has lower P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.036), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.2 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This 1.5 kcal/mol difference is significant and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a better binding affinity and metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). However, Ligand A excels in several critical ADME properties: lower DILI risk, better solubility, lower hERG inhibition, and lower P-gp efflux. The superior binding affinity of Ligand B is compelling, but the significantly improved safety profile (DILI, hERG) and better solubility of Ligand A make it a more promising starting point for drug development, especially considering the potential for optimization to improve its metabolic stability.

**QED:** Both ligands have QED values (0.687 and 0.515) above 0.5, indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (13.339) has a significantly lower DILI risk than Ligand B (39.162). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (74.952) is slightly better than Ligand A (64.793). However, BBB isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we'll proceed assuming these are percentile scores and higher is better.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. Again, assuming these are percentile scores, higher is better.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.249) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.34). This is a significant advantage.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (51.549) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (93.548), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme inhibitor.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.528) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-59.916). This is a substantial advantage.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol), though both are good. The 0.7 kcal/mol difference is meaningful.
**Overall:**
Ligand A is significantly better across several critical parameters for an enzyme inhibitor: DILI risk, hERG inhibition, metabolic stability (Cl_mic and t1/2), and binding affinity. While Ligand B has slightly better BBB penetration, this is less crucial for a non-CNS-targeted kinase inhibitor. The solubility and Caco-2 values are questionable, but the other advantages of Ligand A outweigh these concerns.

**DILI:** Ligand A (90.733) has a high DILI risk, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (19.504) has a very low DILI risk, a major advantage.
**BBB:** Both ligands have reasonable BBB penetration, but Ligand B (75.107) is better than Ligand A (61.535). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, but a bonus.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the experimental data or the compounds themselves. However, we'll proceed assuming these represent low permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a significant drawback for both, but potentially more problematic for Ligand A given its higher logP.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.632) has a slightly elevated hERG risk, while Ligand B (0.328) is lower.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (20.678) has a lower Cl_mic, indicating better metabolic stability. Ligand B (85.586) has a much higher Cl_mic, suggesting rapid metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (97.933) has a very long in vitro half-life, consistent with its low Cl_mic. Ligand B (-15.672) has a negative half-life, which is impossible and indicates a data issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.269) has low P-gp efflux, which is good. Ligand B (0.063) is even lower, which is excellent.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.0 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a superior binding affinity and better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and P-gp efflux. However, its high DILI risk, elevated hERG, and poor solubility are major concerns. Ligand B has a much better safety profile (low DILI, lower hERG), better BBB penetration, and lower P-gp efflux. However, it has weaker binding affinity and significantly worse metabolic stability.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, potency (affinity) is crucial. The 1.8 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and could outweigh some of Ligand A's drawbacks *if* the solubility and toxicity issues can be addressed through further optimization. However, the high DILI risk is a serious red flag. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a clear data quality issue.
Considering the totality of the data, and prioritizing safety and reasonable ADME properties, I would cautiously favor Ligand A *with the caveat that significant medicinal chemistry effort would be needed to mitigate the DILI and solubility issues*.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (348.49 and 354.45 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (58.64) is well below the 140 threshold, and even better, below 90, suggesting good permeability. Ligand B (90.98) is at the upper limit of acceptable for oral absorption, but still within range.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.204) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.733) is slightly below 1, potentially impacting permeability.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=3) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=4) both have reasonable numbers of H-bond donors and acceptors, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Ligand A (0.829) has a higher QED than Ligand B (0.521), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Ligand B (41.411) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand A (10.392), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** Not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (90.035) has better BBB penetration than Ligand B (55.254).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.664) has a much more negative Caco-2 value than Ligand B (-5.032), suggesting lower permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.64) has better solubility than Ligand B (-1.759).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.482) has a lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.311), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-5.427) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (46.41), indicating greater metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (9.787) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (1.323), which is desirable.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.103) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.023), which is preferable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). The difference is 0.4 kcal/mol, which is not substantial enough to outweigh other ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and DILI risk. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and solubility, the difference in affinity is small, and the ADME profile of Ligand B is more favorable for drug development. The lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but can potentially be addressed through further optimization.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.821 and 347.503 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (46.92) is better than Ligand B (52.65), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (4.352) is higher than optimal (1-3), while Ligand B (2.182) is within the optimal range. This favors Ligand B initially, but a slightly high logP can sometimes be tolerated if other properties are excellent.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have acceptable HBD (1) and HBA (4 for A, 3 for B) counts, well within the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.598 and 0.793), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (87.243) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (11.361). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have similar BBB penetration (64.482 and 67.546). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are a concern.
**Caco-2:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a concern for both.
**Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. This is a concern for both.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.707) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.471), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (7.263) has a much lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (46.524), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.103) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (96.511), which is also a positive for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.749) has a higher P-gp efflux liability than Ligand B (0.088). This is a negative for Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the better binding affinity of Ligand A, its significantly higher DILI risk, higher microsomal clearance, shorter half-life, and higher P-gp efflux liability make it a less desirable candidate. Ligand B, while having a weaker binding affinity, exhibits a much more favorable ADMET profile, particularly its low DILI risk and improved metabolic stability. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, metabolic stability and minimizing toxicity (DILI) are crucial. The difference in binding affinity, while notable, might be overcome with further optimization of Ligand B.

Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and a longer half-life, but weaker binding affinity, higher DILI and hERG risk, and lower BBB penetration.
Given the importance of potency for enzyme inhibitors, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol vs -6.9 kcal/mol) is the most critical factor. While the permeability and solubility issues are concerning, these can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies or further chemical modifications. The lower safety liabilities of Ligand A are also very important.

Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and safety (DILI, hERG) are crucial. While Ligand A's affinity is better, the combination of poor metabolic stability and solubility, along with a moderate DILI risk, makes it a less attractive candidate. Ligand B's extremely poor affinity is a major drawback, but the significantly better safety profile and metabolic stability are compelling.
However, the difference in binding affinity is too large to ignore. A small improvement in metabolic stability of Ligand A could make it a viable candidate.

**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (10.445) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (1.502).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.021 and 0.045).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-10.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage for Ligand A, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. A difference of 3.3 kcal/mol is quite large.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, a better QED score, and slightly better hERG risk. However, it has a significantly higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk and better metabolic stability, but weaker binding affinity and a lower QED score.
Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand A (-10.7 kcal/mol vs -7.4 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. While the DILI risk is concerning, it might be mitigated through structural modifications in subsequent optimization rounds. The solubility issues are also a concern for both, but can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Both are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (355.337) is slightly higher, but both are acceptable.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (65.07) is better than Ligand B (95.16). TPSA < 140 is good for oral absorption, and both meet this, but A is preferable.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (2.119) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.847) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability.
4. **HBD:** Ligand A (0) is good. Ligand B (2) is acceptable, but fewer is generally better.
5. **HBA:** Ligand A (5) is good. Ligand B (4) is also good.
6. **QED:** Both ligands (A: 0.761, B: 0.796) have excellent drug-likeness scores.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (68.592) is higher risk than Ligand B (54.789), but both are within acceptable limits (<60 is good).
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (83.133) is significantly better than Ligand B (40.946). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, higher BBB is never a detriment.
9. **Caco-2:** Ligand A (-3.848) is worse than Ligand B (-4.995). Lower (more negative) values are less favorable here, indicating lower permeability.
10. **Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.926) is worse than Ligand B (-3.53). Lower (more negative) values are less favorable here, indicating lower solubility.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands (A: 0.319, B: 0.279) have low hERG risk, which is excellent.
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (67.076) is higher than Ligand B (23.004), indicating faster metabolism and lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (5.595) is much shorter than Ligand B (-22.366). A negative value indicates a very long half-life, which is highly desirable.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands (A: 0.052, B: 0.038) have low P-gp efflux, which is good.
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.4) has *much* stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0). This is a decisive advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For a kinase inhibitor, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B excels in affinity and metabolic stability (long half-life, low Cl_mic), and has acceptable solubility and hERG risk. Ligand A has a weaker affinity, faster metabolism, and lower solubility. The substantial difference in binding affinity (-9.4 vs 0) is likely to outweigh any minor advantages Ligand A might have.
**Conclusion:**
Ligand B is the superior candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the enzyme-specific priorities: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (369.462 and 362.495 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (80.32) is slightly higher than Ligand B (69.64), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (1.983 and 2.578), falling within the optimal 1-3 range.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and either 5 or 4 HBA, which are acceptable.
**QED:** Both ligands have high QED scores (0.832 and 0.865), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (65.762) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (37.456). This is a significant concern, as we want to minimize liver toxicity.
**BBB:** Both have good BBB penetration (70.027 and 77.007), but this isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.987 and -4.913). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and may not be directly comparable without knowing the base of the log.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.906 and -2.965). Again, these are likely log scales, and indicate poor aqueous solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.32) has a slightly lower hERG inhibition liability than Ligand B (0.434), which is preferable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (23.529) has a significantly *lower* microsomal clearance than Ligand A (10.659). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand B, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-22.403) has a *longer* in vitro half-life than Ligand A (13.607). This is also a strong advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.244 and 0.217).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.5 kcal/mol). However, the difference is only 0.4 kcal/mol, which is less important than the ADME differences.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and longer half-life outweigh the small difference in binding affinity. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but can potentially be addressed through formulation strategies. The lower DILI risk is a critical advantage.

Ligand B has significantly better ADME properties (low DILI, excellent metabolic stability, low P-gp efflux), but its binding affinity is weaker.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, the superior binding affinity of Ligand A is a critical factor. While its ADME properties are suboptimal, the potency advantage is substantial. Optimization efforts could focus on improving the metabolic stability of Ligand A.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (360.479 and 353.463 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (78.43) is slightly higher than Ligand B (71.11), both are below the 140 threshold for oral absorption, and acceptable for kinase inhibitors.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.844) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.238) is quite low, potentially hindering permeability.
**H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) and Ligand B (1) are both within the acceptable limit of 5.
**H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A (4) and Ligand B (5) are both within the acceptable limit of 10.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.677 and 0.741), indicating drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Both ligands have low DILI risk (33.307 and 28.073), which is favorable.
**BBB:** Ligand A (28.189) has a lower BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (68.67). However, SRC is not a CNS target, so this is less critical.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.436) has significantly worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-4.543). This suggests lower intestinal absorption for Ligand A.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.976) has worse solubility than Ligand B (-1.241). Solubility is important for bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.339 and 0.121), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (47.544) and Ligand B (44.564) have similar microsomal clearance values, suggesting comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-5.437) has a worse in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-2.394). This suggests faster metabolism for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.101 and 0.019).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinity (-8.0 and -8.4 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better.

**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED scores (0.72 and 0.685), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (79.449%) compared to Ligand B (9.228%). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand B has a higher BBB penetration percentile (77.705%) compared to Ligand A (47.189%). While not a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor, it's a slight advantage for Ligand B.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, suggesting poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can be mitigated with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.513) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.485), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (41.808) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (44.523), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a negative half-life (-10.718 hours), which is impossible and indicates a significant issue with the data or the compound. Ligand A has a half-life of 63.278 hours, which is good.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.408 and 0.125).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-6.7 kcal/mol). This 0.9 kcal/mol difference is substantial and could outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the stronger binding affinity of Ligand A, its significantly higher DILI risk is a major red flag. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a data quality issue, but even ignoring this, the affinity is weaker. However, the DILI risk is so much lower for Ligand B that it makes it the more viable candidate. While both have solubility and permeability concerns, these can be addressed with formulation. The superior metabolic stability of Ligand A is a plus, but the DILI risk is too high to ignore.

* **HBD:** 0 - Low, favorable for permeability.
* **HBA:** 3 - Acceptable.
* **QED:** 0.805 - Excellent drug-likeness.
* **DILI:** 54.556 - Moderate risk, but acceptable.
* **BBB:** 38.465 - Not a priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
* **Caco-2:** -4.565 - Very poor permeability. A significant concern.
* **Solubility:** -6.5 - Very poor solubility. A major drawback.
* **hERG:** 0.79 - Low risk, good.
* **Cl_mic:** 143.782 - High metabolic clearance, unfavorable.
* **t1/2:** -36.59 - Very short half-life, unfavorable.
* **Pgp:** 0.386 - Low efflux, favorable.
* **Affinity:** -8.1 kcal/mol - Excellent binding affinity.
**Ligand B:**
* **MW:** 346.431 Da - Within the ideal range.
* **TPSA:** 85.25 - Acceptable, but approaching the upper limit for good absorption.
* **logP:** 0.548 - Low, potentially hindering permeation.
* **HBD:** 2 - Acceptable.
* **HBA:** 5 - Acceptable.
* **QED:** 0.673 - Good drug-likeness.
* **DILI:** 48.197 - Good, low risk.
* **BBB:** 54.595 - Not a priority.
* **Caco-2:** -5.002 - Very poor permeability. A significant concern.
* **Solubility:** -1.223 - Poor solubility, but better than Ligand A.
* **hERG:** 0.322 - Low risk, good.
* **Cl_mic:** 4.431 - Low metabolic clearance, very favorable.
* **t1/2:** -1.24 - Short half-life, but better than Ligand A.
* **Pgp:** 0.047 - Very low efflux, favorable.
* **Affinity:** -6.6 kcal/mol - Good binding affinity, though not as strong as Ligand A.
**Comparison and Decision:**
Both ligands suffer from very poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. However, Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-8.1 kcal/mol vs -6.6 kcal/mol). While Ligand A has higher logP and worse metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) than Ligand B, the substantial improvement in binding affinity is a critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The difference of 1.5 kcal/mol can often outweigh moderate ADME liabilities, especially if further optimization can address the permeability and solubility issues. Ligand B's lower Cl_mic is beneficial, but the weaker binding is a more significant drawback.
Therefore, despite its ADME shortcomings, Ligand A is the more promising starting point due to its superior binding affinity.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.636, B: 0.68), which is good.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a lower Cl_mic (17.879) than Ligand B (67.946), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a much longer half-life (90.979) than Ligand B (28.452), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.134, B: 0.4).

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2) and comparable binding affinity. However, its high DILI risk is a major drawback. Ligand B has a significantly lower DILI risk, better TPSA, and QED, but its metabolic stability is considerably worse.
Given the enzyme-kinase specific priorities, metabolic stability is important, but unacceptable toxicity risk is a dealbreaker. The lower DILI risk of Ligand B makes it the more viable candidate, despite its poorer metabolic properties. Further optimization could focus on improving the metabolic stability of Ligand B.

**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B demonstrates superior ADME properties, particularly in terms of metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2) and DILI risk. While Ligand A has slightly better binding affinity and P-gp efflux, the significant advantages of Ligand B in metabolic stability and safety (DILI) outweigh this difference, especially for a kinase inhibitor where chronic dosing is likely. The lower logP of Ligand B is a concern, but the improved solubility and metabolic stability could compensate.

**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (333.391 Da) is slightly lower, which can be beneficial for permeability. Ligand B (359.442 Da) is also good.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.11) is well below the 140 threshold for oral absorption. Ligand B (98.74) is still acceptable, but less favorable.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.994) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.221) is quite low, potentially hindering membrane permeability and absorption.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD (2 and 3 respectively) and HBA (4 each) counts.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.753 and 0.548), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (74.99) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (29.779). This is a significant concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (46.336) and Ligand B (58.976) are both relatively low.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it is hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility.
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition liability (0.576 and 0.214), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (18.586) has a lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (19.811), suggesting better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (33.299) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (-27.169). The negative value for Ligand B is concerning and suggests very rapid degradation.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.106 and 0.042).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have the same binding affinity (-8.4 kcal/mol), which is excellent.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B's extremely low logP and negative in vitro half-life are major red flags. The low logP suggests poor absorption, and the negative half-life indicates very rapid metabolism. While Ligand A has a higher DILI risk, the better logP, longer half-life, and lower clearance make it the more promising candidate. The DILI risk can be addressed through structural modifications during optimization. The solubility and permeability issues are shared by both, and would need to be addressed.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.4 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility of both compounds, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.4 vs -7.2 kcal/mol) is a major advantage. Furthermore, it exhibits a much lower DILI risk (39.511 vs 88.329) and a lower hERG risk (0.032 vs 0.594). While Ligand A has slightly better Caco-2 permeability, the other factors heavily favor Ligand B. The lower logP of Ligand B might be addressable through structural modifications, whereas the high DILI risk of Ligand A is a more difficult problem to solve.

**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED scores (0.848 and 0.723), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (82.241) compared to Ligand B (29.934). This is a major concern for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Ligand A (55.254) and Ligand B (87.437). BBB is less critical for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B is better.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.464 and -4.266), which is unusual and requires further investigation. It suggests poor permeability.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-3.61 and -4.039). This is a significant drawback for both, potentially hindering bioavailability.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.23) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.616), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (90.971) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (71.856), indicating faster metabolism and potentially lower *in vivo* exposure. Ligand A is better here.

**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=4) is better than Ligand B (HBD=3, HBA=5) in terms of balancing solubility and permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have acceptable QED values (0.71 and 0.567, respectively), indicating reasonable drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (78.247) has a higher DILI risk than Ligand B (58.821), which is a concern. However, both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS penetration is specifically desired. Ligand B (61.962) has a higher BBB value than Ligand A (29.275), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.942) has a worse Caco-2 permeability than Ligand B (-5.636).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-5.382) has worse aqueous solubility than Ligand B (-1.963).
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.443) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.306), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (40.193) has a significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (59.653), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for enzyme inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (2.23) has a longer half-life than Ligand A (-0.034), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.455) has slightly lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.113), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol). This 1.1 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A's higher DILI risk and lower solubility, its significantly stronger binding affinity (-8.8 kcal/mol vs -7.7 kcal/mol) is a decisive factor. For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency is paramount. Ligand B has better ADME properties (metabolic stability, solubility), but the substantial affinity difference makes Ligand A the more promising candidate, assuming further optimization can mitigate the DILI risk.

**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (3 each), staying within the limit of 10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have similar and good QED values (0.854 and 0.851).
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (49.011) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.758), but both are still reasonably low.
**8. BBB:** BBB is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase, but Ligand A (81.078) has a slightly higher value than Ligand B (73.827).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern for both.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback for both.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition liability (0.333 and 0.331), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (69.687) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (-6.842). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable, a key factor for kinase inhibitors.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-10.771) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (31.758), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show low P-gp efflux liability (0.315 and 0.044).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very strong binding affinities (-9.4 and -9.0 kcal/mol). The difference of 0.4 kcal/mol is not substantial enough to outweigh other factors.
**Conclusion:**
Despite both ligands having excellent binding affinity, Ligand B is the more promising candidate. Its lower logP, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), and lower DILI risk outweigh the slightly higher TPSA. While both have poor predicted solubility and permeability, metabolic stability is a critical factor for kinase inhibitors, and Ligand B excels in this area.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (63.05) is higher than Ligand B (49.41). Both are acceptable, but Ligand B is preferable due to the lower TPSA, potentially aiding absorption.
**logP:** Both ligands have good logP values (2.799 and 3.355), falling within the optimal 1-3 range. Ligand B is slightly higher, which could be a minor concern for off-target effects, but not a major issue.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 1 HBD, which is good. Ligand A has 5 HBA, while Ligand B has 2. Ligand B is preferable here, as fewer HBA generally improves permeability.
**QED:** Both ligands have reasonable QED scores (0.842 and 0.711), indicating good drug-like properties. Ligand A is slightly better.
**DILI:** Ligand A has a significantly higher DILI risk (85.964%) compared to Ligand B (16.208%). This is a major red flag for Ligand A.
**BBB:** Both have high BBB penetration (83.637% and 91.198%). This isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.698 and -4.484), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale, so the absolute difference isn't huge.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-4.343 and -3.961), also unusual. Again, the difference isn't massive, but both are concerning.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.504) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.751), but both are relatively low and acceptable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (57.782) has a slightly higher microsomal clearance than Ligand A (50.811), meaning Ligand A is more metabolically stable.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.436 hours) has a significantly longer half-life than Ligand B (9.186 hours). This is a major advantage for Ligand A.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.193 and 0.252).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.6 kcal/mol). This 0.4 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.

Ligand B is the better candidate. While Ligand A has a longer half-life, the drastically higher DILI risk is a major concern. Ligand B has a much lower DILI risk, better TPSA and HBA, and a significantly stronger binding affinity. The slightly higher clearance of Ligand B is less concerning than the high DILI risk of Ligand A. The solubility and permeability issues are present in both, and would need to be addressed in further optimization.

**TPSA:** Ligand A (113.08) is slightly above the optimal <140 for oral absorption, but acceptable. Ligand B (87.74) is well within the acceptable range.
**logP:** Both ligands have low logP values (0.497 and 0.357), which is below the optimal 1-3 range. This could potentially hinder membrane permeability, but isn't a dealbreaker if other properties are favorable.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A has 3 HBD and 6 HBA, both within the acceptable limits. Ligand B has 2 HBD and 4 HBA, also within limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.649 and 0.725), indicating good drug-like properties.

**BBB:** Both have low BBB penetration, which isn't a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B is slightly better (60.721 vs 44.203).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.5 and -5.17), which is unusual and suggests very poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-2.49 and -1.494), also unusual and indicating poor solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.114 and 0.147), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 7.126 mL/min/kg, which is relatively moderate. Ligand B has a *very* high Cl_mic (-22.078 mL/min/kg). The negative value is likely an error, but even if interpreted as a very low value, it indicates significantly better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A has a half-life of 21.847 hours, which is good. Ligand B has a very short half-life (-0.245 hours), which is a major concern. Again, the negative value is likely an error.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.035 and 0.012), which is favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity (-7.5 kcal/mol) compared to Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol), although the difference is small (0.3 kcal/mol).
**Overall Assessment:**
Despite the slightly better affinity of Ligand A, the significantly lower DILI risk and potentially much better metabolic stability (Cl_mic) of Ligand B are crucial advantages for an enzyme inhibitor. However, both ligands suffer from poor predicted solubility and permeability. The negative values for Caco-2 and solubility are concerning and may indicate issues with the prediction model or the molecule's structure. The negative half-life and clearance values for Ligand B are also suspect.
Considering the priorities for kinase inhibitors, metabolic stability is paramount. While the affinity difference is small, the lower DILI and potentially better metabolic stability of Ligand B make it the more promising candidate, *assuming* the negative values for clearance and half-life are errors and the true values are favorable.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8 kcal/mol). This 0.5 kcal/mol difference is substantial and can outweigh some ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and a much improved metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2). While Ligand A has slightly better TPSA, solubility and lower DILI, the potency and metabolic stability advantages of Ligand B are more critical for an enzyme target like SRC. The difference in binding affinity is substantial enough to overcome the slight disadvantages in other parameters.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (342.399 and 350.438 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (91.4) is slightly above the preferred <140, while Ligand B (76.02) is well within. This favors Ligand B for better absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (0.624) is a bit low, potentially hindering permeation. Ligand B (1.84) is within the optimal 1-3 range. This favors Ligand B.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both have 2 HBD and 4 HBA, which are acceptable values.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.768 and 0.703), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (41.877) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (32.687), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (76.696) has a higher BBB percentile than Ligand A (63.629).
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-5.202) shows poor permeability, while Ligand B (-4.951) is slightly better, though still not ideal.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have very poor aqueous solubility (-2.114 and -1.986). This is a significant concern for both, but could be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.05) has a very low hERG risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.229) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-30.252) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (20.768), indicating better metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-1.874) has a slightly longer half-life than Ligand B (-11.339).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.005 and 0.086).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.8), but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has advantages in logP, TPSA, and binding affinity. However, Ligand A demonstrates a significantly better metabolic stability profile (lower Cl_mic, longer half-life) and a much lower hERG risk. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, metabolic stability and minimizing off-target effects (like hERG inhibition) are crucial. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A can potentially be optimized in subsequent iterations, while improving metabolic stability is often more challenging. The poor solubility of both is a concern, but can be addressed during formulation.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines for enzymes.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (358.829 and 366.458 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (72.06) is slightly higher than Ligand B (67.43), but both are well below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.946) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), while Ligand B (2.415) is comfortably within it. Ligand A's higher logP *could* lead to solubility issues or off-target interactions, but isn't a dealbreaker.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 2 HBD and a reasonable number of HBA (5 and 4 respectively), satisfying the guidelines.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.676 and 0.728), indicating drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (85.847) has a significantly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (59.597). This is a major concern.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (75.727) has a better BBB score than Ligand A (58.938), but it's not a primary factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This is a concern for both compounds, but the value for Ligand A (-4.688) is worse than Ligand B (-3.725).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.723) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.432), but both are relatively low.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (13.183) has *much* lower microsomal clearance than Ligand A (62.185), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a significant advantage.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (11.914) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (92.476), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.595) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.264), which could mean better bioavailability.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.7 kcal/mol). While the difference isn't huge, it's still favorable.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is the stronger candidate. While both have issues with Caco-2 and solubility, Ligand B has significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a lower DILI risk, and slightly better binding affinity. The higher DILI risk associated with Ligand A is a major red flag, and the lower metabolic stability is also concerning for an enzyme target.

**Comparison & Decision:**
Both ligands have excellent QED scores and strong binding affinities. However, Ligand A has a significantly better binding affinity (-7.9 vs -7.5 kcal/mol). While Ligand A has a higher logP, its DILI risk is much lower, and its in vitro half-life is substantially longer. Both ligands have poor Caco-2 permeability and solubility. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower Pgp efflux, but the shorter half-life and higher DILI risk are concerning.
Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the stronger binding affinity and lower DILI risk of Ligand A outweigh its slightly higher logP and moderate metabolic clearance. The longer half-life is also a significant advantage. While the permeability and solubility are poor for both, these can be addressed through formulation strategies.

**BBB:** Both ligands have similar low BBB penetration (46.84 and 47.15), which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.989 and -5.247), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. This is a significant concern.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-0.582 and -2.189), indicating very poor aqueous solubility. This is a major drawback.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.011) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, which is excellent. Ligand B (0.087) is also low, but slightly higher.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-35.362) has a very low (and negative) microsomal clearance, suggesting excellent metabolic stability. Ligand B (5.929) has a positive clearance, indicating faster metabolism.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (14.237) has a reasonable half-life, while Ligand B (-3.218) has a negative half-life, which is not possible and indicates a significant issue.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands show very low P-gp efflux (0.005 and 0.01).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is a crucial advantage.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the poor solubility and permeability of both compounds, the substantial difference in binding affinity and metabolic stability is decisive. Ligand B's much stronger binding affinity (-9.8 kcal/mol vs -0.0 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly higher DILI risk and faster metabolism. The negative half-life for Ligand B is a red flag, but the binding affinity is so much better that it suggests a potential issue with the measurement or modeling rather than the molecule itself. Ligand A's extremely weak binding affinity makes it unlikely to be a viable candidate, even with its better DILI and metabolic stability.

**Step-by-step comparison:**
1. **MW:** Ligand A (415.332 Da) is within the ideal range, while Ligand B (352.494 Da) is also acceptable. No clear advantage here.
2. **TPSA:** Ligand A (81.75) is slightly higher than ideal (<=140), but still reasonable. Ligand B (49.41) is excellent, well below the 140 threshold.
3. **logP:** Ligand A (0.604) is a bit low, potentially impacting permeability. Ligand B (3.45) is optimal. This favors Ligand B.
4. **HBD:** Both ligands have acceptable HBD counts (A: 2, B: 1).
5. **HBA:** Both ligands have acceptable HBA counts (A: 4, B: 2).
6. **QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.666, B: 0.842), indicating drug-like properties. Ligand B is slightly better.
7. **DILI:** Ligand A (29.236) has a moderate DILI risk, but acceptable. Ligand B (17.216) has a lower DILI risk, which is favorable.
8. **BBB:** Ligand A (63.164) has a moderate BBB penetration. Ligand B (89.376) has a high BBB penetration. While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
9. **Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual. I'll interpret this as very low permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to say how problematic this is.
10. **Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual. This suggests poor aqueous solubility. Again, the scale is unknown.
11. **hERG:** Both ligands have low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.187, B: 0.707).
12. **Cl_mic:** Ligand A (26.413) has a lower microsomal clearance, suggesting better metabolic stability. Ligand B (53.689) has higher clearance. This favors Ligand A.
13. **t1/2:** Ligand A (-0.64) has a slightly negative half-life, which is concerning. Ligand B (-1.698) is worse. Both are problematic.
14. **Pgp:** Both ligands have very low Pgp efflux liability (A: 0.015, B: 0.183).
15. **Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.4 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Enzyme-Kinase Specific Priorities:**
For enzymes like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key. Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity. Ligand A has better metabolic stability, but both have concerning half-lives. Solubility is poor for both.
**Conclusion:**
Despite the concerning half-lives and solubility issues for both, the significantly stronger binding affinity of Ligand B (-10 kcal/mol vs -9.4 kcal/mol) outweighs the slightly better metabolic stability of Ligand A. A 0.6 kcal/mol difference in binding affinity is substantial and can often be optimized later. The better logP and DILI profile of Ligand B also contribute to its favorability.

**8. BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (79.721 and 79.217), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with permeability prediction. This needs further investigation, but we'll proceed assuming similar permeability for now.
**10. Solubility:** Ligand A (-3.086) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-4.881).
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.267) has a significantly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.937), which is a crucial advantage.

**7. DILI:** Ligand A (21.791) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.348), which is a significant advantage.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have low BBB penetration, which is not a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC kinase. Ligand B (45.638) is slightly higher than Ligand A (23.808).
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a scale where negative values are possible, and direct comparison is difficult without knowing the scale's specifics.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Again, the scale is unknown, making direct comparison difficult.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.065) shows very low hERG inhibition risk, a major advantage. Ligand B (0.138) is slightly higher, but still relatively low.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-9.072) has a negative clearance, which is not physically possible and suggests an error or unusual data representation. Ligand A (9.326) has a reasonable clearance. This is a major red flag for Ligand B.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (17.806) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-10.92), which is a significant advantage. However, the negative half-life for Ligand A is concerning.

**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.0) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.7), a 1.3 kcal/mol difference.
**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For SRC kinase (an enzyme), potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are key.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's slightly better binding affinity and half-life, the negative and unrealistic microsomal clearance value is a critical flaw. The negative half-life for Ligand A is also concerning, but the overall profile of Ligand A is superior due to its significantly lower DILI risk and very low hERG inhibition. The more reasonable clearance value for Ligand A also makes it more promising. While both have solubility and permeability concerns, the metabolic stability issue with Ligand B is a showstopper.

**Summary and Decision (Enzyme/Kinase Focus):**
For an enzyme target like SRC kinase, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are paramount. While Ligand A has a slightly better half-life and comparable affinity, Ligand B demonstrates significantly better metabolic stability (much lower Cl_mic), lower DILI risk, lower hERG risk, and better solubility. The slightly better affinity of Ligand B is a bonus. The poor Caco-2 permeability of both is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
Therefore, considering the overall profile and the priorities for an enzyme target, **Ligand B** is the more promising drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, prioritizing potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk as per the guidelines.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands are within the ideal range (200-500 Da). Ligand A (342.414 Da) is slightly lower, which could be beneficial for permeability, while Ligand B (387.948 Da) is still well within the range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (42.43) is higher than Ligand B (29.54). Both are below the 140 threshold for good oral absorption, but Ligand B's lower TPSA is preferable, potentially leading to better cell permeability.
**logP:** Ligand A (3.828) and Ligand B (4.766) are both within the optimal range of 1-3, but Ligand B is approaching the upper limit. While still acceptable, higher logP can sometimes lead to off-target effects.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Both ligands have 0 HBD and 3 HBA, which are within acceptable limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have similar QED values (0.749 and 0.675), indicating good drug-likeness.
**DILI:** Ligand A (43.738) has a slightly higher DILI risk than Ligand B (36.099), but both are below the concerning threshold of 60.
**BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (85.033 and 89.919), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we can still compare them relatively. Ligand A (-4.356) is slightly better than Ligand B (-4.734).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, again suggesting a data issue. Ligand A (-4.463) is slightly better than Ligand B (-5.312).
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.696) has a slightly lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.914), which is favorable.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (110.164) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (85.645), indicating lower metabolic stability. This is a significant drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (18.479) has a much longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-1.813), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have similar P-gp efflux liability (0.52 and 0.76).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.8 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-9.1 kcal/mol). While the difference is not huge, it's enough to be considered, especially given the other factors.
**Overall:**
Ligand B is the more promising candidate. It has a lower TPSA, lower DILI risk, significantly better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and higher t1/2), and slightly better binding affinity. Although its logP is a bit higher, the benefits outweigh this minor drawback. The negative solubility and Caco-2 values are concerning and would need further investigation, but the relative comparison still favors Ligand B.

**DILI:** Ligand A (64.793) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (81.117), which is a significant advantage. Lower DILI is always preferred.
**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (Ligand A: 71.229, Ligand B: 73.75), which isn't a primary concern for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale isn't specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor aqueous solubility. This is a concern, but can be addressed with formulation strategies.
**hERG:** Ligand A (0.769) has a slightly higher hERG risk than Ligand B (0.109). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (111.543) has a higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (8.167), meaning it's less metabolically stable. This is a major drawback for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (40.586) has a significantly longer in vitro half-life than Ligand A (14.139), indicating better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (Ligand A: 0.581, Ligand B: 0.098), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.7 kcal/mol) has a stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.9 kcal/mol). This difference of 0.8 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh some of the ADME drawbacks of Ligand B.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a lower molecular weight and slightly better TPSA, Ligand B is superior overall. Ligand B has a much better metabolic profile (lower Cl_mic, longer t1/2), a significantly stronger binding affinity, and lower hERG risk. The slightly higher logP of Ligand A is a concern, and its higher DILI risk and lower metabolic stability are significant drawbacks. The affinity difference is large enough to compensate for the slightly higher logP. Therefore, Ligand B is the more promising drug candidate.

**DILI:** Ligand A (20.9) has a much lower DILI risk than Ligand B (38.348), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** This is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B (61.38) has a higher BBB score than Ligand A (10.508), but it's not a deciding factor here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative values (-5.211 and -5.074), which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, these values are on a log scale and are difficult to interpret without more context.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.162 and -3.474), which is also concerning. Again, the scale isn't clear, but lower values generally indicate poorer solubility.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.084) has a very low hERG risk, a major advantage. Ligand B (0.54) has a moderate risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Both have similar microsomal clearance values (26.193 and 25.977 mL/min/kg), indicating comparable metabolic stability.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-9.967) has a worse (shorter) half-life compared to Ligand B (-6.498).
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have low P-gp efflux liability (0.022 and 0.046).
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.2 kcal/mol), although the difference is less than the 1.5 kcal/mol threshold that would heavily favor one over the other.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has a slightly better binding affinity and a significantly lower DILI risk and hERG risk, Ligand B has a much better QED score, logP, and in vitro half-life. The poor solubility and Caco-2 permeability for both are concerning. However, the lower hERG risk and DILI risk for Ligand A, combined with its slightly better affinity, make it a more promising starting point, *assuming* the solubility and permeability issues can be addressed through further optimization. The higher QED of Ligand B is attractive, but the higher DILI and hERG risks are substantial drawbacks.

Ligand A has a superior binding affinity, better logP, QED, solubility, and hERG risk profile. While its DILI risk is higher and Caco-2 permeability is poor, the strong binding affinity and favorable physicochemical properties make it a more promising candidate. Ligand B has better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic) and lower DILI, but its poor logP and significantly weaker binding affinity are major drawbacks. The negative half-life values for both are concerning, but can be addressed with structural modifications.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-6.8 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-0.0 kcal/mol). This is the most critical factor for an enzyme inhibitor. The >1.5 kcal/mol advantage of A outweighs the ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand B's superior metabolic stability and half-life, Ligand A's substantially stronger binding affinity (-6.8 vs -0.0 kcal/mol) makes it the more promising candidate. The potency advantage is significant enough to overcome the slightly higher clearance and lower half-life. The better DILI score and TPSA of Ligand A further support this conclusion.

**Enzyme-Specific Priorities:** For kinase inhibitors, potency (affinity), metabolic stability (Cl_mic, t1/2), solubility, and hERG risk are crucial.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B is significantly better due to its lower DILI risk, better metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic), and better solubility. While Ligand A has a slightly longer half-life and lower Pgp efflux, the high DILI risk and higher Cl_mic outweigh these benefits. Both have poor Caco-2 permeability, which would need to be addressed in further optimization, but this is less critical than the safety and metabolic stability concerns with Ligand A.

**DILI:** Both ligands have similar, low DILI risk (10.237 and 10.741 percentile).
**BBB:** Ligand A (81.776) has a significantly higher BBB penetration percentile than Ligand B (46.762). While SRC isn't a CNS target, higher BBB is generally a positive indicator of permeability.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Ligand A (-4.754) and Ligand B (-4.668) are similar, indicating similar intestinal absorption.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-0.866) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.704) in terms of aqueous solubility.

**14. Pgp:** Ligand A (0.406) has lower P-gp efflux than Ligand B (0.132), suggesting better bioavailability.
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-7.7 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-10.6 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage, potentially outweighing some ADME concerns.
**Overall Assessment:**
While Ligand A has better QED, metabolic stability, half-life, and Pgp efflux, the significantly higher DILI risk is a major red flag. Ligand B's substantially stronger binding affinity (-7.7 vs -10.6 kcal/mol) is a critical advantage for an enzyme inhibitor. The lower DILI risk also makes it more appealing. The slightly worse ADME properties of Ligand B are likely manageable with further optimization, but the high DILI risk of Ligand A is harder to address.

**QED:** Ligand A (0.82) has a better QED score than Ligand B (0.686), indicating a more drug-like profile.
**DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk (38.581 and 33.579, both <40).
**BBB:** Ligand A (73.401) has a better BBB penetration score than Ligand B (53.083), but this isn't a high priority for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-4.529 and -4.931). This is unusual and suggests a potential issue with intestinal absorption, but the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-1.613 and -1.243). Similar to Caco-2, this is concerning, and the scale is unknown.
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.105 and 0.322). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B (-7.08 mL/min/kg) has significantly *lower* (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand A (52.031 mL/min/kg), indicating better metabolic stability. This is a key advantage for an enzyme target.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-9.656 hours) has a much longer half-life than Ligand A (-30.228 hours). This is a significant advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.1 kcal/mol) has a slightly better binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.9 kcal/mol). This 1.2 kcal/mol difference is significant.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a superior binding affinity, and excellent metabolic stability. However, it suffers from a low logP, higher DILI risk, and poorer Caco-2 permeability and solubility compared to Ligand A. Ligand A has better physicochemical properties overall (logP, TPSA, DILI), and a long half-life. The slightly weaker binding affinity of Ligand A can potentially be overcome with further optimization, while the poor physicochemical properties of Ligand B are harder to fix without significantly altering the core structure and potentially losing affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the combination of good metabolic stability (Ligand B) *and* good overall drug-like properties (Ligand A) is crucial. The binding affinity difference is not large enough to overcome the significant drawbacks of Ligand B.

**DILI:** Ligand A (50.2) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (69.1), which is a significant advantage.
**BBB:** BBB is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand B has a slightly higher BBB score (70.6) than Ligand A (54.6), but this is not a major factor in this case.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and requires further investigation (lower values indicate poorer permeability). Ligand B (-4.621) is slightly better than Ligand A (-5.157).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, indicating poor solubility. Ligand B (-2.413) is slightly better than Ligand A (-3.196).
**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (0.09 and 0.121), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand B has a *negative* Cl_mic (-0.718), which is highly unusual and suggests *extremely* high metabolic stability. Ligand A has a Cl_mic of 9.037, which is moderate. This is a major advantage for Ligand B.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B has a much longer in vitro half-life (-28.978 hours) than Ligand A (-6.174 hours). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.011 and 0.024).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-9.5 and -9.7 kcal/mol). Ligand B is slightly better (-9.7 vs -9.5), but the difference is small.
**Conclusion:**
While both ligands have good potency, Ligand B stands out due to its significantly improved metabolic stability (negative Cl_mic, very long half-life) and lower DILI risk. The slightly better solubility and Caco-2 permeability also contribute. The small advantage in binding affinity is less important than the ADME/Tox improvements.

**2. TPSA:** Ligand A (104.04) is slightly above the optimal <140, but acceptable. Ligand B (95.08) is well within the acceptable range.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (3.528) is at the upper end of the optimal range (1-3), potentially raising concerns about solubility and off-target effects. Ligand B (0.639) is quite low, which could hinder permeability.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A (3) is acceptable. Ligand B (1) is also acceptable.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Both ligands (A: 5, B: 5) are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (A: 0.516, B: 0.64), indicating drug-like properties.
**7. DILI:** Ligand A (97.286) has a high DILI risk, which is a significant concern. Ligand B (52.617) has a much lower, and acceptable, DILI risk.
**8. BBB:** This is less critical for a systemic oncology target. Ligand A (11.167) and Ligand B (65.374) are not particularly relevant here.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not defined, so it is difficult to interpret.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values, which is also unusual and suggests poor solubility. Again, the scale is not defined.
**11. hERG:** Ligand A (0.206) has a low hERG risk, which is good. Ligand B (0.043) has even lower risk.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (2.398) has a low clearance, suggesting good metabolic stability. Ligand B (16.8) has a high clearance, indicating poor metabolic stability.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (2.798) has a short half-life. Ligand B (-17.774) has a very negative half-life, which is not physically meaningful and suggests a problem with the data.
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.019, B: 0.068).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-9.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-7.9 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A has a much stronger binding affinity, which is paramount for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its high DILI risk is a major drawback. Ligand B has a better safety profile (lower DILI, lower hERG), but significantly weaker binding affinity and poor metabolic stability. The negative values for Caco-2 and Solubility are concerning for both, but the affinity difference is substantial. Given the importance of potency for kinase inhibitors, and assuming the DILI risk can be mitigated through structural modifications, Ligand A is the more promising starting point.

**BBB:** Both ligands have similar BBB penetration (82.862 and 81.466 respectively), which isn't a primary concern for a kinase inhibitor unless CNS off-target effects are anticipated.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both ligands have negative Caco-2 values (-5.028 and -4.927). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but the scale isn't defined, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both ligands have negative solubility values (-3.053 and -2.535). Again, the scale is undefined, making interpretation difficult. However, poor solubility is a concern for both.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.327) has a slightly better hERG profile than Ligand B (0.467), but both are relatively low risk.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (1.756) has significantly lower microsomal clearance than Ligand B (23.519). This suggests much better metabolic stability for Ligand A, a crucial factor for kinase inhibitors.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (17.803) has a positive in vitro half-life, while Ligand B (-19.631) has a negative one. This is highly problematic for Ligand B.
**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.173) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.086) is even lower. Both are favorable.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.2 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (0.0 kcal/mol). This is a major advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a significantly better binding affinity and a much lower DILI risk, which are the most important factors for an enzyme inhibitor. However, its negative in vitro half-life and high microsomal clearance are major concerns. Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, but its DILI risk is high and its binding affinity is very weak.
Despite the superior binding affinity of Ligand B, the extremely poor metabolic stability and negative half-life are dealbreakers. While affinity is crucial, a compound needs to *exist* in the body long enough to exert its effect. The high DILI risk of Ligand A is also a significant concern.
Given the severe ADME liabilities of Ligand B, and the poor affinity of Ligand A, I would lean towards further investigation of Ligand A, but with a strong focus on mitigating the DILI risk through structural modifications.

**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (0.006 and 0.244 percentiles), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand A (-8.0 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand A's primary advantage is its significantly better binding affinity. However, it suffers from poor solubility, low permeability, and a questionable half-life value. Ligand B has better physicochemical properties (logP, TPSA) but a weaker binding affinity. Given the enzyme-specific priorities, binding affinity is paramount. The difference in affinity (-8.0 vs -8.3) is substantial enough to potentially overcome the solubility and permeability issues of Ligand A, *provided* the half-life value is corrected or understood to be a different scale. The poor half-life of both compounds is concerning and would require further investigation. However, the potency advantage of A is significant.

**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests poor permeability. However, the scale is not specified, so it's hard to interpret.
**Aqueous Solubility:** Ligand A (-2.07) has slightly better solubility than Ligand B (-5.583), though both are quite poor.
**hERG Inhibition:** Ligand A (0.267) has a much lower hERG risk than Ligand B (0.685). This is a significant advantage for Ligand A.

**P-gp Efflux:** Ligand A (0.011) has very low P-gp efflux, while Ligand B (0.487) has moderate efflux. This favors Ligand A.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-10.1 kcal/mol) has a substantially stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.5 kcal/mol). This is a significant advantage for Ligand B, potentially outweighing some of its ADME drawbacks. The difference is >1.5 kcal/mol.
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the highest priority for an enzyme inhibitor. However, it suffers from higher logP, higher DILI risk, higher hERG risk, and faster clearance. Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, hERG, clearance, P-gp efflux, and better solubility), but weaker binding.
Given the substantial difference in binding affinity, the benefits of Ligand B's potency likely outweigh its ADME liabilities, *provided* those liabilities can be addressed through further optimization. The difference in binding is significant enough to warrant prioritizing Ligand B for further development.

**1. Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (349.431 and 349.435 Da) fall within the ideal range of 200-500 Da.
**2. TPSA:** Both ligands (80.76 and 80.56) are below 140, suggesting good oral absorption potential.
**3. logP:** Ligand A (2.706) is optimal, while Ligand B (0.676) is slightly low, potentially hindering permeation.
**4. H-Bond Donors:** Ligand A has 1 HBD, and Ligand B has 0. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=5.
**5. H-Bond Acceptors:** Ligand A has 5 HBA, and Ligand B has 6. Both are within the acceptable limit of <=10.
**6. QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.827 and 0.723), indicating drug-likeness.
**7. DILI:** Both ligands have acceptable DILI risk, with Ligand A at 49.593 and Ligand B at 42.575, both below the 60 threshold.
**8. BBB:** Both ligands have high BBB penetration (79.294 and 78.364), but this is less critical for a non-CNS target like SRC.
**9. Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values (-4.299 and -4.939). This is unusual and suggests poor permeability, but these values may be from a different scale and require careful interpretation.
**10. Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values (-3.043 and -0.931). Similar to Caco-2, these values are concerning and require further investigation.
**11. hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands show very low hERG inhibition risk (0.389 and 0.08), which is excellent.
**12. Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (86.138) has higher microsomal clearance than Ligand B (41.12). This suggests Ligand B is more metabolically stable.
**13. In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand B (-4.548) has a slightly better (less negative) in vitro half-life than Ligand A (-30.21).
**14. P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.046 and 0.075).
**15. Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have excellent binding affinities (-7.9 and -7.6 kcal/mol). Ligand A is slightly better, but the difference is small.
**Overall Assessment:**
Both ligands are promising. However, considering the enzyme-specific priorities, Ligand B appears slightly more favorable.

**hERG Inhibition:** Both ligands have very low hERG inhibition risk (A: 0.235, B: 0.16). This is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-40.701) has a much lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (22.716). This suggests better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (50.156) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (16.055). This is a significant advantage, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both ligands have low P-gp efflux liability (A: 0.066, B: 0.091).
**Binding Affinity:** Both ligands have very similar and excellent binding affinities (A: -7.5 kcal/mol, B: -7.4 kcal/mol). The difference is negligible.
**Conclusion:**
While Ligand A has better metabolic stability and half-life, Ligand B excels in several crucial areas: lower DILI risk, better TPSA, better logP, better QED, and better solubility. The slightly better metabolic profile of A is outweighed by the significant advantages of B in terms of safety (DILI) and absorption/pharmacokinetics (TPSA, solubility). Given the enzyme-specific priorities, the lower DILI risk and improved pharmacokinetic properties of Ligand B make it the more promising drug candidate.

**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-8.3 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-7.2 kcal/mol). This difference of 1.1 kcal/mol is substantial and can outweigh minor ADME drawbacks.
**Conclusion:**
Despite Ligand A having a slightly better logP and P-gp efflux, Ligand B is the far superior candidate. The significantly lower DILI risk, improved metabolic stability (lower Cl_mic and longer t1/2), and substantially stronger binding affinity outweigh any minor disadvantages. The poor Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning for both, but the potency and safety profile of Ligand B make it the more viable drug candidate.

Let's analyze Ligand A and Ligand B for their potential as SRC kinase inhibitors, keeping in mind the priorities for enzymes: potency, metabolic stability, solubility, and hERG risk.
**Molecular Weight:** Both ligands (350.373 and 361.427 Da) fall within the ideal 200-500 Da range.
**TPSA:** Ligand A (75.94) is well below the 140 threshold for good absorption, while Ligand B (100.35) is still acceptable but approaching the limit.
**logP:** Ligand A (2.585) is optimal (1-3). Ligand B (0.6) is below 1, which *could* impede permeation, a slight concern.
**H-Bond Donors/Acceptors:** Ligand A (HBD=1, HBA=5) and Ligand B (HBD=2, HBA=7) both have reasonable H-bond characteristics, well within the recommended limits.
**QED:** Both ligands have good QED scores (0.92 and 0.812), indicating good drug-like properties.
**DILI:** Ligand A (52.191) has a lower DILI risk than Ligand B (62.389), both are acceptable, but A is preferable.
**BBB:** BBB is not a major concern for a non-CNS target like SRC. Ligand A (83.443) has a better BBB score than Ligand B (21.791), but this is less important here.
**Caco-2 Permeability:** Both have negative Caco-2 values, which is unusual and suggests a potential issue with the data or the model. However, we can still compare them relatively. Ligand A (-4.965) is better than Ligand B (-5.094).
**Aqueous Solubility:** Both have negative solubility values, again, unusual. Ligand A (-1.996) is slightly better than Ligand B (-2.464).
**hERG:** Both ligands have very low hERG risk (0.158 and 0.127), which is excellent.
**Microsomal Clearance:** Ligand A (-6.991) has significantly lower (better) microsomal clearance than Ligand B (4.56). This indicates better metabolic stability for Ligand A.
**In vitro Half-Life:** Ligand A (-8.664) has a longer in vitro half-life than Ligand B (-7.126), further supporting its better metabolic stability.
**P-gp Efflux:** Both have very low P-gp efflux liability (0.016 and 0.027), which is good.
**Binding Affinity:** Ligand B (-9.6 kcal/mol) has a significantly stronger binding affinity than Ligand A (-8.1 kcal/mol). This is a substantial advantage (1.5 kcal/mol difference).
**Overall Assessment:**
Ligand B has a much stronger binding affinity, which is the most important factor for an enzyme inhibitor. While Ligand A has better ADME properties (lower DILI, better metabolic stability, slightly better solubility and permeability), the difference in binding affinity is large enough to outweigh these concerns. The lower logP of Ligand B is a minor concern, but could be addressed with further optimization. The negative Caco-2 and solubility values are concerning and would need further investigation, but the relative comparison still favors Ligand B.
