DrugGEN Paper Results

Generated Molecules

  • SMILES notations of 10,000 de novo generated molecules from DrugGEN model can be downloaded from here. (In addition to this, the SMILES notations of 10,000 de novo generated molecules from the DrugGEN-NoTarget model here).
  • We run our deep learning-based drug/compound-target protein interaction prediction system (DEEPScreen) on generated molecules from DrugGEN model. DEEPScreen predicted 5,700 of them as active against AKT1, 130 of which received the highest confidence score (SMILES notations of DEEPScreen predicted actives).
  • At the same time, we conducted a molecular docking analysis on the de novo molecules generated from DrugGEN and other target-based generation models, including RELATION, TRIOMHPHE-BOA, ResGen, as well as on real AKT1 inhibitors, using the crystal structure of AKT1. A total of 1,600 molecules exhibited sufficiently low binding free energies (< -8 kcal/mol) for the DrugGEN model. The corresponding molecules can be found here.
  • Parallel to this, we applied filtering to 10,000 de novo generated molecules from the DrugGEN model using Lipinski, Veber, and PAINS filters. After this operation, 4,127 of them successfully passed the filters, and their SMILES notations can be found here.
  • Finally, de novo molecules to effectively target the AKT1 protein are selected via expert curation from the dataset of molecules with binding free energies lower than -8 kcal/mol and predicted as active by DEEPScreen against the AKT1 protein (SMILES notations of the expert selected de novo AKT1 inhibitor molecules).

Docking

Glide (Schrödinger Suite) was used to perform docking of AKT1 inhibitors, randomly sampled 10K ChEMBL molecules and DrugGEN generated molecules, using AKT1 crystal structure (4GV1) as a reference protein. The top 1,000 docking scores for each set are available here. Also, the docking results of the crystal structure and selected de novo molecule (MOL_01_027820) were visualized using PyMOL and saved as PDB files.

Molecular Dynamics (MD)

The simulation analyses were conducted for AKT1-Capivasertib complex (crystal structure: 4GV1) and AKT1-MOL_02_027820 complex (consisting of the 4GV1 protein and a de novo generated molecule) using the Simulation Interactions Diagram module integrated into Maestro (Desmond (Schrödinger Suite)). MD files for the AKT1-Capivasertib complex and AKT1-MOL_02_027820 complex have been shared on Google Drive.
