NPGPT: Natural Product-Like Compound Generation with GPT-based Chemical Language Models
Natural products are substances produced by organisms in nature and often possess biological activity and structural diversity. Drug development based on natural products has been common for many years. However, the intricate structures of these compounds present challenges in terms of structure determination and synthesis, particularly compared to the efficiency of high-throughput screening of synthetic compounds. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have been applied to the generation of molecules. In this study, we trained chemical language models on a natural product dataset and generated natural product-like compounds. The results showed that the distribution of the compounds generated was similar to that of natural products. We also evaluated the effectiveness of the generated compounds as drug candidates. Our method can be used to explore the vast chemical space and reduce the time and cost of drug discovery of natural products.

BioNavi-NP: Biosynthesis Navigator for Natural Products
Nature, a synthetic master, creates more than 300,000 natural products (NPs) which are the major constituents of FDA-proved drugs owing to the vast chemical space of NPs. To date, there are fewer than 30,000 validated NP…
RetrosynthesisUsing Deep Siamese Neural Networks to Speed up Natural Products Research
Natural products (NPs, compounds derived from plants and animals) are an important source of novel disease treatments. A bottleneck in the search for new NPs is structure determination. One method is to use 2D Nuclear Ma…
Natural fumigation as a mechanism for volatile transport between flower organs
Plants synthesize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to attract pollinators and beneficial microorganisms, to defend themselves against herbivores and pathogens and for plant-plant communication. Generally, accumulation a…
