A Deep Learning Library for Compound and Protein Modeling
DTI, Drug Property, PPI, DDI, Protein Function Prediction

Applications in Drug Repurposing, Virtual Screening, QSAR, Side Effect Prediction and More

This repository hosts DeepPurpose, a Deep Learning Based Molecular Modeling and Prediction Toolkit on Drug-Target Interaction Prediction, Compound Property Prediction, Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction, and Protein Function prediction (using PyTorch). We focus on DTI and its applications in Drug Repurposing and Virtual Screening, but support various other molecular encoding tasks. It allows very easy usage (several lines of codes only) to facilitate deep learning for life science research.

Features

• 15+ powerful encodings for drugs and proteins, ranging from deep neural network on classic cheminformatics fingerprints, CNN, transformers to message passing graph neural network, with 50+ combined models! Most of the combinations of the encodings are not yet in existing works. All of these under 10 lines but with lots of flexibility! Switching encoding is as simple as changing the encoding names!

• Realistic and user-friendly design:

  • support DTI, DDI, PPI, molecular property prediction, protein function predictions!
  • automatic identification to do drug target binding affinity (regression) or drug target interaction prediction (binary) task.
  • support cold target, cold drug settings for robust model evaluations and support single-target high throughput sequencing assay data setup.
  • many dataset loading/downloading/unzipping scripts to ease the tedious preprocessing, including antiviral, COVID19 targets, BindingDB, DAVIS, KIBA, ...
  • many pretrained checkpoints.
  • easy monitoring of training process with detailed training metrics output such as test set figures (AUCs) and tables, also support early stopping.
  • detailed output records such as rank list for repurposing result.
  • various evaluation metrics: ROC-AUC, PR-AUC, F1 for binary task, MSE, R-squared, Concordance Index for regression task.
  • label unit conversion for skewed label distribution such as Kd.
  • time reference for computational expensive encoding.
  • PyTorch based, support CPU, GPU, Multi-GPUs.

Installation

Try it on Binder! Binder is a cloud Jupyter Notebook interface that will install our environment dependency for you.

Video tutorial to install Binder.

We recommend to install it locally since Binder needs to be refreshed every time launching. To install locally, we recommend to install from pip:

pip

conda create -n DeepPurpose python=3.6
conda activate DeepPurpose
conda install -c conda-forge notebook
pip install git+https://github.com/bp-kelley/descriptastorus 
pip install DeepPurpose

Build from Source

First time:

git clone https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.git ## Download code repository
cd DeepPurpose ## Change directory to DeepPurpose
conda env create -f environment.yml  ## Build virtual environment with all packages installed using conda
conda activate DeepPurpose ## Activate conda environment (use "source activate DeepPurpose" for anaconda 4.4 or earlier) 
jupyter notebook ## open the jupyter notebook with the conda env

## run our code, e.g. click a file in the DEMO folder
... ...

conda deactivate ## when done, exit conda environment 

In the future:

cd DeepPurpose ## Change directory to DeepPurpose
conda activate DeepPurpose ## Activate conda environment
jupyter notebook ## open the jupyter notebook with the conda env

## run our code, e.g. click a file in the DEMO folder
... ...

conda deactivate ## when done, exit conda environment

Example

Case Study 1(a): A Framework for Drug Target Interaction Prediction, with less than 10 lines of codes.

In addition to the DTI prediction, we also provide repurpose and virtual screening functions to rapidly generation predictions.

Case Study 1(b): A Framework for Drug Property Prediction, with less than 10 lines of codes.

Many dataset is in the form of high throughput screening data, which have only drug and its activity score. It can be formulated as a drug property prediction task. We also provide a repurpose function to predict over large space of drugs.

Case Study 1(c): A Framework for Drug-Drug Interaction Prediction, with less than 10 lines of codes.

DDI is very important for drug safety profiling and the success of clinical trials. This framework predicts interaction based on drug pairs chemical structure.

Case Study 1(d): A Framework for Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction, with less than 10 lines of codes.

PPI is important to study the relations among targets.

Case Study 1(e): A Framework for Protein Function Prediction, with less than 10 lines of codes.

Protein function prediction help predict various useful functions such as GO terms, structural classification and etc. Also, for biologics drugs, it is also useful for screening.

Case Study 2 (a): Antiviral Drugs Repurposing for SARS-CoV2 3CLPro, using One Line.

Given a new target sequence (e.g., SARS-CoV2 3CL Protease), retrieve a list of repurposing drugs from a curated drug library of 81 antiviral drugs. The Binding Score is the Kd values. Results aggregated from five pretrained model on BindingDB dataset! (Caution: this currently is for educational purposes. The pretrained DTI models only cover a small dataset and thus cannot generalize to every new unseen protein. For the best use case, train your own model with customized data.)

Case Study 2(b): Repurposing using Customized training data, with One Line.

Given a new target sequence (e.g., SARS-CoV 3CL Pro), training on new data (AID1706 Bioassay), and then retrieve a list of repurposing drugs from a proprietary library (e.g., antiviral drugs). The model can be trained from scratch or finetuned from the pretraining checkpoint!

Data

DeepPurpose supports the following dataset loaders for now and more will be added:

DeepPurpose also supports reading from users' txt file. It assumes the following data format.

Checkout Dataset Tutorial.

Pretrained models

We provide more than 10 pretrained models. Please see Pretraining Model Tutorial on how to load them. It is as simple as

from DeepPurpose import DTI as models
net = models.model_pretrained(model = 'MPNN_CNN_DAVIS')
or
net = models.model_pretrained(FILE_PATH)

The list of available pretrained models:

Model name consists of first the drug encoding, then the target encoding and then the trained dataset.

Note that for DTI models, the BindingDB and DAVIS are trained on the log scale. But DeepPurpose allows you to specify conversion between log scale (e.g., pIC50) and original scale by the variable convert_y.

Disclaimer

The output list should be inspected manually by experts before proceeding to the wet-lab validation, and our work is still in active developement with limitations, please do not directly use the drugs.
