  • Publication number: 20230325687
    Abstract: A system and method for de novo drug discovery using machine learning algorithms. In a preferred embodiment, de novo drug discovery is performed via data enrichment and interpolation/perturbation of molecule models within the latent space, wherein molecules with certain characteristics can be generated and tested in relation to one or more targeted receptors. Filtering methods may be used to determine active novel molecules by filtering out non-active molecules and contain activity predictors to better navigate the molecule-receptor domain. The system may comprise neural networks trained to reconstruct known ligand-receptors pairs and from the reconstruction model interpolate and perturb the model such that novel and unique molecules are discovered. A second preferred embodiment trains a variational autoencoder coupled with a bioactivity model to predict molecules exhibiting a range of desired properties.

  • Publication number: 20230297853
    Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the latent space in generative machine learning models, and applications of the optimizations for use in the de novo generation of molecules for both ligand-based and pocket-based generation. The ligand-based optimizations comprise a tunable reward system based on a multi-property model and further define new measurable metrics: molecular novelty and uniqueness. The pocket-based optimizations comprise an initial multi-property optimization followed up by either a seed-based optimization or a relaxed-based optimization.

  • Patent number: 11710049
    Abstract: A system and method that given one or more input molecules, produces a contextualized summary of characteristics of related target molecules, e.g., proteins. Using a knowledge graph which is populated with all known molecules, input molecules are analyzed according to various similarity indexes which relate the input molecules to target proteins or other biological entities. The knowledge graph may also comprise scientific literature, governmental data (FDA clinical phase data), private research endeavors (general assays, etc.), and other related biological data. The summary produced may comprise target proteins that satisfy certain biological properties, general assay results (ADMET characteristics), related diseases, off-target molecule interactions (non-targeted molecules involved in a specific pathway or cascade), market opportunities, patents, experiments, and new hypothesis.

  • Patent number: 11568961
    Abstract: A system and method for accelerating the calculations of free energy differences by automating FEP-path-decision-making and replacing the standard series of alchemical interpolations typically created by molecular dynamic (MD) simulations with voxelated interpolated states. A novel machine learning approach comprising a restricted variational autoencoder (ResVAE) is used which can reduce the computational-cost associated with interpolations by restricting the dimensions of a molecular latent space. The ResVAE generates a model based on flow-based transformations of a 3D-VAE latent point that is trained to maximize the log-likelihood of MD samples which enables the model to compute transformations more efficiently between molecules and also handle deletions of atoms more efficiently during iterative FEP calculation steps.

  • Publication number: 20220198286
    Abstract: A system and method comprising a transmoler that identifies common substructures of a given 3D conformer and predicts its structural information. First, based on contrastive learning, substructure embeddings are learned in an unsupervised manner. Secondly, a novel oriented 3D object regressor predicts the dimensions and directions of each substructure in a conformer as well as its fingerprint embedding which are used to create differentiable junction tree molecular graphs. Lastly, using the junction tree graphs, molecular representations such as DeepSMILES are generated which represent new and novel molecules. The system may also generate conformers directly from a pocket. A pocket may be input to the model and the model learns to generate structures which can fit that pocket by conditioning the generative system. Furthermore, structure-based contrastive embeddings generated for transmoler can be recycled in structure-based generative modelling.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20220188657
    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.
