Aim:
Generating a data and software infrastructure for evaluating multi-target compound (MT-CPD) design via deep generative modeling.
Methodology:
The REINVENT 2.0 approach for generative modeling was extended for MT-CPD design and a large benchmark data set was curated.
Exemplary Results & Data:
Proof-of-concept for deep generative MT-CPD design was established. Custom code and the benchmark set comprising 2809 MT-CPDs, 61,928 single-target and 295,395 inactive compounds from biological screens are made freely available.
Limitations & Next Steps:
MT-CPD design via deep learning is still at its conceptual stages. It will be required to demonstrate experimental impact. The data and software we provide enable further investigation of MT-CPD design and generation of candidate molecules for experimental programs.

Drug Discovery: Overview
Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...

Combinatorial Gene Control
The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
