We examine a pair of graph generative models for the therapeutic design of novel drug candidates targeting SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins. Due to a sense of urgency, we chose well-validated models with unique strengths: an autoencoder that generates molecules with similar structures to a dataset of drugs with anti-SARS activity and a reinforcement learning algorithm that generates highly novel molecules. During generation, we explore optimization toward several design targets to balance druglikeness, synthetic accessability, and anti-SARS activity based on icfifty. This generative frameworkfootnote{https://github.com/exalearn/covid-drug-design} will accelerate drug discovery in future pandemics through the high-throughput generation of targeted therapeutic candidates.
Currently, there is no effective antiviral drugs nor vaccine for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Due to its high conservativeness and low similarity with human genes, SARS-CoV-2 mai
The primary cell surface receptor for SARS-CoV-2 is the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Recently it has been noticed that the viral Spike protein has an RGD motif, suggesting that cell surface integrins may be co-receptors. We examined the se
The genomic ssRNA of coronaviruses is packaged within a helical nucleocapsid. Due to transitional symmetry of a helix, weakly specific cooperative interaction between ssRNA and nucleocapsid proteins leads to the natural selection of specific quasi-pe
Researchers across the globe are seeking to rapidly repurpose existing drugs or discover new drugs to counter the the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One promising approach
We propose a benchmark to study surrogate model accuracy for protein-ligand docking. We share a dataset consisting of 200 million 3D complex structures and 2D structure scores across a consistent set of 13 million in-stock molecules over 15 receptors
