Abstract:
While natural products and derivatives have been crucial in drug discovery, the current databases are limited to known compounds. There is a need for tools that can automatically generate and assess novel derivatives of natural products to enhance early-stage drug discovery. We present DerivaPredict (v1.0), a user-friendly tool that generates novel natural product derivatives through chemical and metabolic transformations. It predicts binding affinities using pretrained deep learning models and assesses drug-likeness via ADMET profiling. DerivaPredict is freely accessible with a source code on GitHub.
