Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Learning effective molecular feature representation to facilitate molecular property prediction is of great significance for drug discovery. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in pre-training graph neural networks (GNNs) via self-supervised learning techniques to overcome the challenge of data scarcity in molecular property prediction. However, current self-supervised learning-based methods suffer from two main obstacles: the lack of a well-defined self-supervised learning strategy and the limited capacity of GNNs. Here, we propose Knowledge-guided Pre-training of Graph Transformer (KPGT), a self-supervised learning framework to alleviate the aforementioned issues and provide generalizable and robust molecular representations. The KPGT framework integrates a graph transformer specifically designed for molecular graphs and a knowledge-guided pre-training strategy, to fully capture both structural and semantic knowledge of molecules. Through extensive computational tests on 63 datasets, KPGT exhibits superior performance in predicting molecular properties across various domains. Moreover, the practical applicability of KPGT in drug discovery has been validated by identifying potential inhibitors of two antitumor targets: hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1). Overall, KPGT can provide a powerful and useful tool for advancing the artificial intelligence (AI)-aided drug discovery process. Accurate property prediction relies on effective molecular representation. Here, the authors introduce KPGT, a knowledge-guided self-supervised framework that improves molecular representation, leading to superior predictions of molecular properties and advancing AI-driven drug discovery.
