FuseDiff: Symmetry-Preserving Joint Diffusion for Dual-Target Structure-Based Drug Design
Dual-target structure-based drug design aims to generate a single ligand together with two pocket-specific binding poses, each compatible with a corresponding target pocket, enabling polypharmacological therapies with improved efficacy and reduced resistance. Existing approaches typically rely on staged pipelines, which either decouple the two poses via conditional-independence assumptions or enforce overly rigid correlations, and therefore fail to jointly generate two target-specific binding modes. To address this, we propose FuseDiff, an end-to-end diffusion model that jointly generates a ligand molecular graph and two pocket-specific binding poses conditioned on both pockets. FuseDiff features a message-passing backbone with Dual-target Local Context Fusion (DLCF), which fuses each ligand atom's local context from both pockets to enable expressive joint modeling while preserving the desired symmetries. Together with explicit bond generation, FuseDiff enforces topological consistency across the two poses under a shared graph while allowing target-specific geometric adaptation in each pocket. To support principled training and evaluation, we derive a dual-target training set and use an independent held-out test set for evaluation. Experiments on the benchmark and a real-world dual-target system show that FuseDiff achieves state-of-the-art docking performance and enables the first systematic assessment of dual-target pose quality prior to docking-based pose search.
