3D-SMGE: a pipeline for scaffold-based molecular generation and evaluation.
Briefings in bioinformatics(2023)
摘要
In the process of drug discovery, one of the key problems is how to improve the biological activity and ADMET properties starting from a specific structure, which is also called structural optimization. Based on a starting scaffold, the use of deep generative model to generate molecules with desired drug-like properties will provide a powerful tool to accelerate the structural optimization process. However, the existing generative models remain challenging in extracting molecular features efficiently in 3D space to generate drug-like 3D molecules. Moreover, most of the existing ADMET prediction models made predictions of different properties through a single model, which can result in reduced prediction accuracy on some datasets. To effectively generate molecules from a specific scaffold and provide basis for the structural optimization, the 3D-SMGE (3-Dimensional Scaffold-based Molecular Generation and Evaluation) work consisting of molecular generation and prediction of ADMET properties is presented. For the molecular generation, we proposed 3D-SMG, a novel deep generative model for the end-to-end design of 3D molecules. In the 3D-SMG model, we designed the cross-aggregated continuous-filter convolution (ca-cfconv), which is used to achieve efficient and low-cost 3D spatial feature extraction while ensuring the invariance of atomic space rotation. 3D-SMG was proved to generate valid, unique and novel molecules with high drug-likeness. Besides, the proposed data-adaptive multi-model ADMET prediction method outperformed or maintained the best evaluation metrics on 24 out of 27 ADMET benchmark datasets. 3D-SMGE is anticipated to emerge as a powerful tool for hit-to-lead structural optimizations and accelerate the drug discovery process.
