  • Patent number: 11367006
    Abstract: A system and method that takes in a data set comprising molecular structure data and properties of interest, e.g., ADMET, EC50, IC50, etc., and determines the substructures that cause or do not cause the property of interest. The substructures may then be used to filter out potentially harmful new proposed/generated molecules or create a new data set of known active/inactive substructures of a property of interest that may fulfill other obligations. The system comprises a substructure extraction module which further comprises a scaffold extraction module and a comparison module. A scaffold extraction module clusters, searches, and extracts substructures in question while a comparison module compares the bioactivity of each molecule with and without each substructure in question to determine the substructures effect on the property of interest.

  • Patent number: 11354582
    Abstract: A system and method for automated retrosynthesis which can reliably identify valid and practical precursors and reaction pathways. The methodology involves a k-beam recursive process wherein at each stage of recursion, retrosynthesis is performed using a library of molecule disconnection rules to identify possible precursor sets, validation of the top k precursor sets is performed using a transformer-based forward reaction prediction scoring system, the best candidate of the top k precursor sets is selected, and a database is searched to determine whether the precursors are commercially available. The recursion process is repeated until a valid chain of chemical reactions is found wherein all precursors necessary to synthesize the target molecule are found to be commercially available.
