• Abstract summary: Retrosynthesis prediction is a fundamental problem in organic synthesis.

• Abstract: Retrosynthesis prediction is a fundamental problem in organic synthesis, where the task is to identify precursor molecules that can be used to synthesize a target molecule. A key consideration in building neural models for this task is aligning model design with strategies adopted by chemists. Building on this viewpoint, this paper introduces a graph-based approach that capitalizes on the idea that the graph topology of precursor molecules is largely unaltered during a chemical reaction. The model first predicts the set of graph edits transforming the target into incomplete molecules called synthons. Next, the model learns to expand synthons into complete molecules by attaching relevant leaving groups. This decomposition simplifies the architecture, making its predictions more interpretable, and also amenable to manual correction. Our model achieves a top-1 accuracy of $53.7\%$, outperforming previous template-free and semi-template-based methods.

  We propose a novel end-to-end graph generation model for retrosynthesis prediction. It sequentially identifies the reaction center, generates the synthons, and adds motifs to the synthons to generate reactants. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show that the proposed model significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art algorithms.

  We present Molecule Edit Graph Attention Network (MEGAN), an end-to-end encoder-decoder neural model. MEGAN is inspired by models that express a chemical reaction as a sequence of graph edits, akin to the arrow pushing formalism. We extend this model to retrosynthesis prediction (predicting substrates given the product of a chemical reaction) and scale it up to large datasets.
