DiffIUPAC

Diffusion-based generative drug-like molecular editing with chemical natural language

Recently, diffusion models have emerged as a promising paradigm for molecular design and optimization. However, most diffusion-based molecular generative models focus on modeling 2D graphs or 3D geometries, with limited research on molecular sequence diffusion models. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) names are more akin to chemical natural language than the Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) for organic compounds. In this work, we apply an IUPAC-guided conditional diffusion model to facilitate molecular editing from chemical natural language to chemical language (SMILES) and explore whether the pre-trained generative performance of diffusion models can be transferred to chemical natural language. We propose DiffIUPAC, a controllable molecular editing diffusion model that converts IUPAC names to SMILES strings. Evaluation results demonstrate that our model outperforms existing methods and successfully captures the semantic rules of both chemical languages. Chemical space and scaffold analysis show that the model can generate similar compounds with diverse scaffolds within the specified constraints. Additionally, to illustrate the model's applicability in drug design, we conducted case studies in functional group editing, analogue design and linker design.

Training

To run the code, we use iwslt14 en-de as an illustrative example:

Prepare the data: Learning the BPE tokenizer by

sh ./tokenizer_utils.py train-byte-level iwslt14 10000 

To train with the following line:

mkdir ckpts
bash ./train_scripts/train.sh 0 iupac smiles
#(for en to de translation) bash ./train_scripts/iwslt_en_de.sh 0 smiles iupac 

You may modify the scripts in ./train_scripts for your own training settings.

To fine tune with the following line:

bash ./train_scripts/fine_tune.sh 0 iupac smiles

Generating

To run the code, example data is in the example folder:

bash ./train_scripts/gen_opt.sh

Model Metrics

MOSES

Molecular Sets (MOSES), a benchmarking platform to support research on machine learning for drug discovery. MOSES implements several popular molecular generation models and provides a set of metrics to evaluate the quality and diversity of generated molecules. With MOSES, MOSES aim to standardize the research on molecular generation and facilitate the sharing and comparison of new models.
