• Abstract summary: We propose a fragment-based molecular generative model which designs new molecules with target properties. A key feature of our model is a high generalization ability in terms of property control and fragment types. We show that the model can generate molecules with the simultaneous control of multiple target properties at a high success rate.

• Abstract: Deep generative models are attracting great attention for molecular design with desired properties. Most existing models generate molecules by sequentially adding atoms. This often renders generated molecules with less correlation with target properties and low synthetic accessibility. Molecular fragments such as functional groups are more closely related to molecular properties and synthetic accessibility than atoms. Here, we propose a fragment-based molecular generative model which designs new molecules with target properties by sequentially adding molecular fragments to any given starting molecule. A key feature of our model is a high generalization ability in terms of property control and fragment types. The former becomes possible by learning the contribution of individual fragments to the target properties in an auto-regressive manner. For the latter, we used a deep neural network that predicts the bonding probability of two molecules from the embedding vectors of the two molecules as input. The high synthetic accessibility of the generated molecules is implicitly considered while preparing the fragment library with the BRICS decomposition method. We show that the model can generate molecules with the simultaneous control of multiple target properties at a high success rate. It also works equally well with unseen fragments even in the property range where the training data is rare, verifying the high generalization ability. As a practical application, we demonstrated that the model can generate potential inhibitors with high binding affinities against the 3CL protease of SARS-COV-2 in terms of docking score.

  This work explores the challenging problem of molecule design by framing it as a conditional generative modeling task. We propose a novel generative model comprising three components: (1) a latent vector with a learnable prior distribution; (2) a molecule generation model based on a causal Transformer, which uses the latent vector as a prompt; and (3) a property prediction model that predicts a molecule's target properties and/or constraint values using the latent prompt.

• A novel molecule generative model of VAE combined with Transformer for unseen structure generation [0.0]
  Transformer and VAE are widely used as powerful models, but they are rarely used in combination due to structural and performance mismatch. This study proposes a model that combines these two models through structural and parameter optimization in handling diverse molecules. The proposed model shows comparable performance to existing models in generating molecules, and showed by far superior performance in generating molecules with unseen structures.

  Previous works usually generate atoms in an auto-regressive way, where element types and 3D coordinates of atoms are generated one by one. In real-world molecular systems, the interactions among atoms in an entire molecule are global, leading to the energy function pair-coupled among atoms. In this work, a generative diffusion model for molecular 3D structures based on target proteins is established, at a full-atom level in a non-autoregressive way.
