• Abstract summary: Retrosynthesis is a fundamental but challenging task in organic chemistry. Given a target molecule, the goal of retrosynthesis is to find out a series of reactions which could be assembled into a synthetic route. We propose a new retrosynthetic planning algorithm called retro-prob to maximize the successful synthesis probability of target molecules.

• Abstract: Retrosynthesis is a fundamental but challenging task in organic chemistry, with broad applications in fields such as drug design and synthesis. Given a target molecule, the goal of retrosynthesis is to find out a series of reactions which could be assembled into a synthetic route which starts from purchasable molecules and ends at the target molecule. The uncertainty of reactions used in retrosynthetic planning, which is caused by hallucinations of backward models, has recently been noticed. In this paper we propose a succinct probabilistic model to describe such uncertainty. Based on the model, we propose a new retrosynthesis planning algorithm called retro-prob to maximize the successful synthesis probability of target molecules, which acquires high efficiency by utilizing the chain rule of derivatives. Experiments on the Paroutes benchmark show that retro-prob outperforms previous algorithms, retro* and retro-fallback, both in speed and in the quality of synthesis plans.

  Single-step retrosynthesis aims to predict a set of reactions that lead to the creation of a target molecule. We propose a novel model, RetroGFN, that can explore outside the limited dataset and return a diverse set of feasible reactions. We show that RetroGFN achieves competitive results on standard top-k accuracy while outperforming existing methods on round-trip accuracy.

  Retrosynthesis is the task of planning a series of chemical reactions to create a desired molecule from simpler, buyable molecules. We propose a novel formulation of retrosynthesis in terms of processes to account for this uncertainty. We then propose a novel greedy algorithm called retro-fallback which maximizes the probability that at least one plan can be executed in the lab.

  Retrosynthesis consists of breaking down a chemical compound step-by-step into molecular precursors.

We show that the choice of the single-step model can improve the overall success rate of synthesis planning by up to +28%.
