ImageMol

The code is an official PyTorch-based implementation in the paper Accurate prediction of molecular properties and drug targets using a self-supervised image representation learning framework (accepted in Nature Machine Intelligence, 2022).

Abstract

The clinical efficacy and safety of a drug is determined by its molecular properties and targets in humans. However, proteome-wide evaluation of all compounds in humans, or even animal models, is challenging. In this study, we present an unsupervised pretraining deep learning framework, named ImageMol, pretrained on 10 million unlabelled drug-like, bioactive molecules, to predict molecular targets of candidate compounds. The ImageMol framework is designed to pretrain chemical representations from unlabelled molecular images on the basis of local and global structural characteristics of molecules from pixels. We demonstrate high performance of ImageMol in evaluation of molecular properties (that is, the drug’s metabolism, brain penetration and toxicity) and molecular target profiles (that is, beta-secretase enzyme and kinases) across 51 benchmark datasets. ImageMol shows high accuracy in identifying anti-SARS-CoV-2 molecules across 13 high-throughput experimental datasets from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. Via ImageMol, we identified candidate clinical 3C-like protease inhibitors for potential treatment of COVID-19.

To facilitate observation of high-confidence regions in the GradCAM heatmap, we use a confidence to filter out lower-confidence regions, which can be found from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1631kSSiM_FSRBBkfh7PwI5p3LGqYYpMc/view?usp=sharing

run script

We also provide a script to generate GradCAM heatmaps:

usage: main.py [-h] [--image_model IMAGE_MODEL] --resume PATH --img_path
               IMG_PATH --gradcam_save_path GRADCAM_SAVE_PATH
               [--thresh THRESH]

you can run the following script:

python main.py --resume ${resume} \
               --img_path ${img_path} \
               --gradcam_save_path ${gradcam_save_path} \
               --thresh ${thresh}

Process your own dataset

If you want to process your own dataset and obtain molecular images, use the following steps:

1. Preprocessing smiles: Please use the method preprocess_list(smiles) of this link to process your raw SMILES data;
2. Transforming smiles to image: Convert canonical smiles to molecular images using dataloader.image_dataloader.Smiles2Img(smis, size=224, savePath=None)
