Abstract
The structures of fentanyl and its analogues are easy to be modified and few types have been included in database so far, which allow criminals to avoid the supervision of relevant departments. This paper introduces a molecular graph-based transformer model, which is combined with a data augmentation method based on substructure replacement to generate novel fentanyl analogues. 140,000 molecules were generated, and after a set of screening, 36,799 potential fentanyl analogues were finally obtained. We calculated the molecular properties of 36,799 potential fentanyl analogues. The results showed that the model could learn some properties of original fentanyl molecules. We compared the generated molecules from transformer model and data augmentation method based on substructure replacement with those generated by the other two molecular generation models based on deep learning, and found that the model in this paper can generate more novel potential fentanyl analogues. Finally, the findings of the paper indicate that transformer model based on molecular graph helps us explore the structure of potential fentanyl molecules as well as understand distribution of original molecules of fentanyl.

Zhang R, Lin Y, Wu Y, Deng L, Zhang H, Liao M, Peng Y. MvMRL: a multi-view molecular representation learning method for molecular property prediction. Brief Bioinform 2024; 25:bbae298. [PMID: 38920342 PMCID: PMC11200189 DOI: 10.1093/bib/bbae298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Effective molecular representation learning is very important for Artificial Intelligence-driven Drug Design because it affects the accuracy and efficiency of molecular property prediction and other molecular modeling relevant tasks. However, previous molecular representation learning studies often suffer from limitations, such as over-reliance on a single molecular representation, failure to fully capture both local and global information in molecular structure, and ineffective integration of multiscale features from different molecular representations. These limitations restrict the complete and accurate representation of molecular structure and properties, ultimately impacting the accuracy of predicting molecular properties. To this end, we propose a novel multi-view molecular representation learning method called MvMRL, which can incorporate feature information from multiple molecular representations and capture both local and global information from different views well, thus improving molecular property prediction. Specifically, MvMRL consists of four parts: a multiscale CNN-SE Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) learning component and a multiscale Graph Neural Network encoder to extract local feature information and global feature information from the SMILES view and the molecular graph view, respectively; a Multi-Layer Perceptron network to capture complex non-linear relationship features from the molecular fingerprint view; and a dual cross-attention component to fuse feature information on the multi-views deeply for predicting molecular properties. We evaluate the performance of MvMRL on 11 benchmark datasets, and experimental results show that MvMRL outperforms state-of-the-art methods, indicating its rationality and effectiveness in molecular property prediction. The source code of MvMRL was released in https://github.com/jedison-github/MvMRL.

Abstract
AI-enhanced bioinformatics and cheminformatics pivots on generating increasingly descriptive and generalized molecular representation. Accurate prediction of molecular properties needs a comprehensive description of molecular geometry. We design a novel Graph Isomorphic Network (GIN) based model integrating a three-level network structure with a dual-level pre-training approach that aligns the characteristics of molecules. In our Spatial Molecular Pre-training (SMPT) Model, the network can learn implicit geometric information in layers from lower to higher according to the dimension. Extensive evaluations against established baseline models validate the enhanced efficacy of SMPT, with notable accomplishments in classification tasks. These results emphasize the importance of spatial geometric information in molecular representation modeling and demonstrate the potential of SMPT as a valuable tool for property prediction.

Abstract
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have proven to be effective in the prediction of chemical reaction yields. However, their performance tends to deteriorate when they are trained using an insufficient training dataset in terms of quantity or diversity. A promising solution to alleviate this issue is to pre-train a GNN on a large-scale molecular database. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of GNN pre-training in chemical reaction yield prediction. We present a novel GNN pre-training method for performance improvement.Given a molecular database consisting of a large number of molecules, we calculate molecular descriptors for each molecule and reduce the dimensionality of these descriptors by applying principal component analysis. We define a pre-text task by assigning a vector of principal component scores as the pseudo-label to each molecule in the database. A GNN is then pre-trained to perform the pre-text task of predicting the pseudo-label for the input molecule. For chemical reaction yield prediction, a prediction model is initialized using the pre-trained GNN and then fine-tuned with the training dataset containing chemical reactions and their yields. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through experimental evaluation on benchmark datasets.

Abstract
Background: In real-world drug discovery, human experts typically grasp molecular knowledge of drugs and proteins from multimodal sources including molecular structures, structured knowledge from knowledge bases, and unstructured knowledge from biomedical literature. Existing multimodal approaches in AI drug discovery integrate either structured or unstructured knowledge independently, which compromises the holistic understanding of biomolecules. Besides, they fail to address the missing modality problem, where multimodal information is missing for novel drugs and proteins. Methods: In this work, we present KEDD, a unified, end-to-end deep learning framework that jointly incorporates both structured and unstructured knowledge for vast AI drug discovery tasks. The framework first incorporates independent representation learning models to extract the underlying characteristics from each modality. Then, it applies a feature fusion technique to calculate the prediction results. To mitigate the missing modality problem, we leverage sparse attention and a modality masking technique to reconstruct the missing features based on top relevant molecules. Results: Benefiting from structured and unstructured knowledge, our framework achieves a deeper understanding of biomolecules. KEDD outperforms state-of-the-art models by an average of 5.2% on drug-target interaction prediction, 2.6% on drug property prediction, 1.2% on drug-drug interaction prediction, and 4.1% on protein-protein interaction prediction. Through qualitative analysis, we reveal KEDD's promising potential in assisting real-world applications. Conclusions: By incorporating biomolecular expertise from multimodal knowledge, KEDD bears promise in accelerating drug discovery.

Abstract
In recent years, the application of deep learning in molecular de novo design has gained significant attention. One successful approach involves using SMILES representations of molecules and treating the generation task as a text generation problem, yielding promising results. However, the generation of more effective and novel molecules remains a key research area. Due to the fact that a molecule can have multiple SMILES representations, it is not sufficient to consider only one of them for molecular generation. To make up for this deficiency, and also motivated by the advancements in contrastive learning in natural language processing, we propose a contrastive learning framework called CONSMI to learn more comprehensive SMILES representations. This framework leverages different SMILES representations of the same molecule as positive examples and other SMILES representations as negative examples for contrastive learning. The experimental results of generation tasks demonstrate that CONSMI significantly enhances the novelty of generated molecules while maintaining a high validity. Moreover, the generated molecules have similar chemical properties compared to the original dataset. Additionally, we find that CONSMI can achieve favorable results in classifier tasks, such as the compound-protein interaction task.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a significant increase in the use of deep learning techniques in the molecular sciences, which have shown high performance on datasets and the ability to generalize across data. However, no model has achieved perfect performance in solving all problems, and the pros and cons of each approach remain unclear to those new to the field. Therefore, this paper aims to review deep learning algorithms that have been applied to solve molecular challenges in computational chemistry. We proposed a comprehensive categorization that encompasses two primary approaches; conventional deep learning and geometric deep learning models. This classification takes into account the distinct techniques employed by the algorithms within each approach. We present an up-to-date analysis of these algorithms, emphasizing their key features and open issues. This includes details of input descriptors, datasets used, open-source code availability, task solutions, and actual research applications, focusing on general applications rather than specific ones such as drug discovery. Furthermore, our report discusses trends and future directions in molecular algorithm design, including the input descriptors used for each deep learning model, GPU usage, training and forward processing time, model parameters, the most commonly used datasets, libraries, and optimization schemes. This information aids in identifying the most suitable algorithms for a given task. It also serves as a reference for the datasets and input data frequently used for each algorithm technique. In addition, it provides insights into the benefits and open issues of each technique, and supports the development of novel computational chemistry systems.

Abstract
Pre-training on graph neural networks (GNNs) aims to learn transferable knowledge for downstream tasks with unlabeled data, and it has recently become an active research area. The success of graph pre-training models is often attributed to the massive amount of input data. In this paper, however, we identify the curse of big data phenomenon in graph pre-training: more training data do not necessarily lead to better downstream performance. Motivated by this observation, we propose a better-with-less framework for graph pre-training: fewer, but carefully chosen data are fed into a GNN model to enhance pre-training. The proposed pre-training pipeline is called the data-active graph pre-training (APT) framework, and is composed of a graph selector and a pre-training model. The graph selector chooses the most representative and instructive data points based on the inherent properties of graphs as well as predictive uncertainty. The proposed predictive uncertainty, as feedback from the pre-training model, measures the confidence level of the model in the data. When fed with the chosen data, on the other hand, the pre-training model grasps an initial understanding of the new, unseen data, and at the same time attempts to remember the knowledge learned from previous data. Therefore, the integration and interaction between these two components form a unified framework (APT), in which graph pre-training is performed in a progressive and iterative way. Experiment results show that the proposed APT is able to obtain an efficient pre-training model with fewer training data and better downstream performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Predicting medications is a crucial task in intelligent healthcare systems, aiding doctors in making informed decisions based on electronic medical records (EMR). However, medication prediction faces challenges due to complex relations within heterogeneous medical data. Existing studies primarily focus on the supervised mining of hierarchical relations between homogeneous codes in medical ontology graphs, such as diagnosis codes. Few studies consider the valuable relations, including synergistic relations between medications, concurrent relations between diseases, and therapeutic relations between medications and diseases from historical EMR. This limitation restricts prediction performance and application scenarios. METHODS To address these limitations, we propose KAMPNet, a multi-sourced medical knowledge augmented medication prediction network. KAMPNet captures diverse relations between medical codes using a multi-level graph contrastive learning framework. Firstly, unsupervised graph contrastive learning with a graph attention network encoder captures implicit relations within homogeneous medical codes from the medical ontology graph, generating knowledge augmented medical code embedding vectors. Then, unsupervised graph contrastive learning with a weighted graph convolutional network encoder captures correlative relations between homogeneous or heterogeneous medical codes from the constructed medical codes relation graph, producing relation augmented medical code embedding vectors. Finally, the augmented medical code embedding vectors, along with supervised medical code embedding vectors, are fed into a sequential learning network to capture temporal relations of medical codes and predict medications for patients. RESULTS Experimental results on the public MIMIC-III dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our KAMPNet model over several baseline models, as measured by Jaccard, F1 score, and PR-AUC for medication prediction. CONCLUSIONS Our KAMPNet model can effectively capture the valuable relations between medical codes inherent in multi-sourced medical knowledge using the proposed multi-level graph contrastive learning framework. Moreover, The multi-channel sequence learning network facilitates capturing temporal relations between medical codes, enabling comprehensive patient representations for downstream tasks such as medication prediction.

Abstract
In recent years, artificial intelligence has played an important role on accelerating the whole process of drug discovery. Various of molecular representation schemes of different modals (e.g., textual sequence or graph) are developed. By digitally encoding them, different chemical information can be learned through corresponding network structures. Molecular graphs and Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) are popular means for molecular representation learning in current. Previous works have done attempts by combining both of them to solve the problem of specific information loss in single-modal representation on various tasks. To further fusing such multi-modal imformation, the correspondence between learned chemical feature from different representation should be considered. To realize this, we propose a novel framework of molecular joint representation learning via Multi-Modal information of SMILES and molecular Graphs, called MMSG. We improve the self-attention mechanism by introducing bond-level graph representation as attention bias in Transformer to reinforce feature correspondence between multi-modal information. We further propose a Bidirectional Message Communication Graph Neural Network (BMC GNN) to strengthen the information flow aggregated from graphs for further combination. Numerous experiments on public property prediction datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of our model.

Abstract
Drug toxicity prediction is an important step in ensuring patient safety during drug design studies. While traditional preclinical studies have historically relied on animal models to evaluate toxicity, recent advances in deep-learning approaches have shown great promise in advancing drug safety science and reducing animal use in preclinical studies. However, deep-learning-based approaches also face challenges in handling large biological data sets, model interpretability, and regulatory acceptance. In this review, we provide an overview of recent developments in deep-learning-based approaches for predicting drug toxicity, highlighting their potential advantages over traditional methods and the need to address their limitations. Deep-learning models have demonstrated excellent performance in predicting toxicity outcomes from various data sources such as chemical structures, genomic data, and high-throughput screening assays. The potential of deep learning for automated feature engineering is also discussed. This review emphasizes the need to address ethical concerns related to the use of deep learning in drug toxicity studies, including the reduction of animal use and ensuring regulatory acceptance. Furthermore, emerging applications of deep learning in drug toxicity prediction, such as predicting drug-drug interactions and toxicity in rare subpopulations, are highlighted. The integration of deep-learning-based approaches with traditional methods is discussed as a way to develop more reliable and efficient predictive models for drug safety assessment, paving the way for safer and more effective drug discovery and development. Overall, this review highlights the critical role of deep learning in predictive toxicology and drug safety evaluation, emphasizing the need for continued research and development in this rapidly evolving field. By addressing the limitations of traditional methods, leveraging the potential of deep learning for automated feature engineering, and addressing ethical concerns, deep-learning-based approaches have the potential to revolutionize drug toxicity prediction and improve patient safety in drug discovery and development.

Abstract
Analog mixed-signal (AMS) verification is one of the essential tasks in the development process of modern systems-on-chip (SoC). Most parts of the AMS verification flow are already automated, except for stimuli generation, which has been performed manually. It is thus challenging and time-consuming. Hence, automation is a necessity. To generate stimuli, subcircuits or subblocks of a given analog circuit module should be identified/classified. However, there currently needs to be a reliable industrial tool that can automatically identify/classify analog sub-circuits (eventually in the frame of a circuit design process) or automatically classify a given analog circuit at hand. Besides verification, several other processes would profit enormously from the availability of a robust and reliable automated classification model for analog circuit modules (which may belong to different levels). This paper presents how to use a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) model and proposes a novel data augmentation strategy to automatically classify analog circuits of a given level. Eventually, it can be upscaled or integrated within a more complex functional module (for a structure recognition of complex analog circuits), targeting the identification of subcircuits within a more complex analog circuit module. An integrated novel data augmentation technique is particularly crucial due to the harsh reality of the availability of generally only a relatively limited dataset of analog circuits' schematics (i.e., sample architectures) in practical settings. Through a comprehensive ontology, we first introduce a graph representation framework of the circuits' schematics, which consists of converting the circuit's related netlists into graphs. Then, we use a robust classifier consisting of a GCN processor to determine the label corresponding to the given input analog circuit's schematics. Furthermore, the classification performance is improved and robust by involving a novel data augmentation technique. The classification accuracy was enhanced from 48.2% to 76.6% using feature matrix augmentation, and from 72% to 92% using Dataset Augmentation by Flipping. A 100% accuracy was achieved after applying either multi-Stage augmentation or Hyperphysical Augmentation. Overall, extensive tests of the concept were developed to demonstrate high accuracy for the analog circuit's classification endeavor. This is solid support for a future up-scaling towards an automated analog circuits' structure detection, which is one of the prerequisites not only for the stimuli generation in the frame of analog mixed-signal verification but also for other critical endeavors related to the engineering of AMS circuits.

Hierarchical Molecular Graph Self-Supervised Learning for property prediction. Commun Chem 2023; 6:34. [PMID: 36801953 PMCID: PMC9938270 DOI: 10.1038/s42004-023-00825-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Molecular graph representation learning has shown considerable strength in molecular analysis and drug discovery. Due to the difficulty of obtaining molecular property labels, pre-training models based on self-supervised learning has become increasingly popular in molecular representation learning. Notably, Graph Neural Networks (GNN) are employed as the backbones to encode implicit representations of molecules in most existing works. However, vanilla GNN encoders ignore chemical structural information and functions implied in molecular motifs, and obtaining the graph-level representation via the READOUT function hinders the interaction of graph and node representations. In this paper, we propose Hierarchical Molecular Graph Self-supervised Learning (HiMol), which introduces a pre-training framework to learn molecule representation for property prediction. First, we present a Hierarchical Molecular Graph Neural Network (HMGNN), which encodes motif structure and extracts node-motif-graph hierarchical molecular representations. Then, we introduce Multi-level Self-supervised Pre-training (MSP), in which corresponding multi-level generative and predictive tasks are designed as self-supervised signals of HiMol model. Finally, superior molecular property prediction results on both classification and regression tasks demonstrate the effectiveness of HiMol. Moreover, the visualization performance in the downstream dataset shows that the molecule representations learned by HiMol can capture chemical semantic information and properties.

Abstract
Molecular representation is a critical part of various prediction tasks for physicochemical properties of molecules and drug design. As graph notations are common in expressing the structural information of chemical compounds, graph neural networks (GNNs) have become the mainstream backbone model for learning molecular representation. However, the scarcity of task-specific labels in the biomedical domain limits the power of GNNs. Recently, self-supervised pretraining for GNNs has been leveraged to deal with this issue, while the existing pretraining methods are mainly designed for graph data in general domains without considering the specific data properties of molecules. In this paper, we propose a representation learning method for molecular graphs, called ReLMole, which is featured by a hierarchical graph modeling of molecules and a contrastive learning scheme based on two-level graph similarities. We assess the performance of ReLMole on two types of downstream tasks, namely, the prediction of molecular properties (MPs) and drug-drug interaction (DDIs). ReLMole achieves promising results for all the tasks. It outperforms the baseline models by over 2.6% on ROC-AUC averaged across six MP prediction tasks, and it improves the F1 value by 7-18% in DDI prediction for unseen drugs compared with other self-supervised models.

Abstract
With advances in artificial intelligence (AI) methods, computer-aided drug design (CADD) has developed rapidly in recent years. Effective molecular representation and accurate property prediction are crucial tasks in CADD workflows. In this review, we summarize contemporary applications of deep learning (DL) methods for molecular representation and property prediction. We categorize DL methods according to the format of molecular data (1D, 2D, and 3D). In addition, we discuss some common DL models, such as ensemble learning and transfer learning, and analyze the interpretability methods for these models. We also highlight the challenges and opportunities of DL methods for molecular representation and property prediction.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a method that learns the data representation by utilizing supervision inherent in the data. This learning method is in the spotlight in the drug field, lacking annotated data due to time-consuming and expensive experiments. SSL using enormous unlabeled data has shown excellent performance for molecular property prediction, but a few issues exist. (i) Existing SSL models are large-scale; there is a limitation to implementing SSL where the computing resource is insufficient. (ii) In most cases, they do not utilize 3D structural information for molecular representation learning. The activity of a drug is closely related to the structure of the drug molecule. Nevertheless, most current models do not use 3D information or use it partially. (iii) Previous models that apply contrastive learning to molecules use the augmentation of permuting atoms and bonds. Therefore, molecules having different characteristics can be in the same positive samples. We propose a novel contrastive learning framework, small-scale 3D Graph Contrastive Learning (3DGCL) for molecular property prediction, to solve the above problems. RESULTS 3DGCL learns the molecular representation by reflecting the molecule's structure through the pretraining process that does not change the semantics of the drug. Using only 1128 samples for pretrain data and 0.5 million model parameters, we achieved state-of-the-art or comparable performance in six benchmark datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that 3D structural information based on chemical knowledge is essential to molecular representation learning for property prediction. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION Data and codes are available in https://github.com/moonkisung/3DGCL.
