medchem 是做什么的?

概述

Medchem 是一个 Python 库(来自 datamol-io),用于药物发现中的分子过滤和优先级排序。可应用文献来源的类药性规则、命名警示目录、复杂度阈值、化学基团检测以及自定义查询语言,对化合物库进行大规模筛选。过滤器是上下文相关的指导原则——需与领域知识和靶点知识结合使用。

版本说明: 示例面向 medchem 2.0.5(PyPI 稳定版,2024 年 11 月)。需要 Python ≥3.9,依赖 datamol 和 RDKit(自动安装)。RuleFilters 和结构过滤器类返回 pandas DataFrames。Lilly demerits 需要可选的本地二进制文件(mamba install lilly-medchem-rules)。

何时使用此技能

以下情况应使用此技能:

  • 将类药性规则(Lipinski、Veber、CNS、类先导物)应用于化合物库
  • 通过结构警示、PAINS 或 NIBR 筛选库规则过滤分子
  • 为 Hit-to-Lead 或先导化合物优化进行优先级排序
  • 根据 ZINC 衍生的阈值计算复杂度度量
  • 检测官能团或命名的子结构目录
  • 使用医药化学查询语言构建多标准过滤器

安装

uv pip install medchem datamol

可选——Eli Lilly demerit 过滤器(需要 conda-forge 的本地二进制文件):

mamba install -c conda-forge lilly-medchem-rules

核心功能

1. 医药化学规则

通过 medchem.rules 应用已建立的类药性规则。

列出可用的规则:

import medchem as mc

mc.rules.RuleFilters.list_available_rules_names()
# ['rule_of_five', 'rule_of_five_beyond', 'rule_of_four', 'rule_of_three', ...]

对单个分子应用单条规则:

import datamol as dm
import medchem as mc

smiles = "CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O"  # 阿司匹林
mc.rules.basic_rules.rule_of_five(smiles)   # True
mc.rules.basic_rules.rule_of_cns(smiles)    # True
mc.rules.basic_rules.rule_of_veber(smiles)  # True

使用 RuleFilters 应用多条规则(返回 DataFrame):

import datamol as dm
import medchem as mc

mols = [dm.to_mol(s) for s in smiles_list]

rfilter = mc.rules.RuleFilters(
    rule_list=["rule_of_five", "rule_of_oprea", "rule_of_cns", "rule_of_leadlike_soft"]
)
df = rfilter(mols=mols, n_jobs=-1, progress=True, keep_props=False)

# 列:mol, pass_all, pass_any, rule_of_five, rule_of_oprea, ...
passing = df[df["pass_all"]]

使用 keep_props=True 可在结果中包含计算得到的描述符(mw、clogp、tpsa 等)。

2. 结构警示过滤器

使用 medchem.structural 检测有问题的模式。两个类都返回包含 pass_filter、status 和 reasons 列的 DataFrames。

常见警示(ChEMBL 衍生的规则集):

import medchem as mc

alert_filter = mc.structural.CommonAlertsFilters()
df = alert_filter(mols=mol_list, n_jobs=-1, progress=True)
# df 列:mol, pass_filter, status, reasons

clean = df[df["pass_filter"]]

NIBR 过滤器(诺华筛选库整理):

nibr_filter = mc.structural.NIBRFilters()
df = nibr_filter(mols=mol_list, n_jobs=-1, progress=True)
# df 列:mol, pass_filter, status, severity, reasons, n_covalent_motif, special_mol

默认情况下,severity >= 10 的化合物会被排除(详见 NIBR 论文)。

3. 命名目录过滤器(PAINS、Brenk 等)

使用 medchem.catalogs.NamedCatalogs 获取 RDKit FilterCatalog 实例,或使用函数式 API:

import medchem as mc

# 列出可用的命名目录
mc.catalogs.list_named_catalogs()
# ['tox', 'pains', 'pains_a', 'brenk', 'nibr', 'zinc', ...]

# 函数式 API — True 表示分子通过(未匹配到警示)
passes = mc.functional.alert_filter(mols=mol_list, alerts=["pains"], n_jobs=-1)

# 或通过目录对象
passes = mc.functional.catalog_filter(
    mols=mol_list,
    catalogs=[mc.catalogs.NamedCatalogs.pains()],
    n_jobs=-1,
)

4. 函数式 API

medchem.functional 提供一次性调用的包装器,返回布尔掩码(True = 通过):

import medchem as mc

mc.functional.rules_filter(mols=mol_list, rules=["rule_of_five", "rule_of_cns"], n_jobs=-1)
mc.functional.nibr_filter(mols=mol_list, max_severity=10, n_jobs=-1)
mc.functional.alert_filter(mols=mol_list, alerts=["pains", "brenk"], n_jobs=-1)
mc.functional.complexity_filter(mols=mol_list, complexity_metric="bertz", limit="99", n_jobs=-1)

其他辅助函数:catalog_filter、chemical_group_filter、lilly_demerit_filter(需要可选二进制文件)、macrocycle_filter、bredt_filter、protecting_groups_filter 等。

5. 化学基团

通过 medchem.groups 检测官能团和策划的模式集合:

import medchem as mc

# 浏览可用的基团集合
mc.groups.list_default_chemical_groups()
# ['privileged_scaffolds', 'common_warhead_covalent_inhibitors', 'rings_in_drugs', ...]

group = mc.groups.ChemicalGroup(groups=["privileged_scaffolds"])
group.has_match(mol)                          # bool
group.get_matches(mol)                        # dict,基团 → 原子索引
group.filter(mols)                            # 匹配该基团的分子

# 返回与该基团不匹配的分子
mc.functional.chemical_group_filter(mols=mol_list, chemical_group=group, n_jobs=-1)

自定义基团可通过 groups_db 从文件加载(CSV 格式,包含 smiles/smarts、name、group 列)。

6. 分子复杂度

将复杂度度量与预计算的 ZINC-15 百分位数阈值进行比较:

import medchem as mc

# 单个分子
cf = mc.complexity.ComplexityFilter(limit="99", complexity_metric="bertz")
cf(mol)  # 如果低于第 99 百分位数阈值则返回 True

# 通过函数式 API 批量处理
mc.functional.complexity_filter(
    mols=mol_list,
    complexity_metric="bertz",  # 也可用:sas, qed, whitlock, barone, smcm, twc
    limit="99",
    n_jobs=-1,
)

# 直接度量函数
mc.complexity.WhitlockCT(mol)
mc.complexity.BaroneCT(mol)

7. 骨架约束

medchem.constraints.Constraints 匹配核心骨架并应用逐原子约束函数——并非简单的分子量/LogP 范围。对于属性边界,使用 RuleFilters、通过 mc.rules.list_descriptors() 获取的描述符、或查询语言。

import datamol as dm
import medchem as mc

core = dm.to_mol("c1ccccc1")
constraints = mc.constraints.Constraints(
    core=core,
    constraint_fns={"query": lambda mol, atom_idx, query: ...},
)
constraints(mol)

8. 医药化学查询语言

使用 medchem.query.QueryFilter 构建多标准过滤器:

import medchem as mc

# 规则 + 警示组合
qf = mc.query.QueryFilter('MATCHRULE("rule_of_five") AND NOT HASALERT("pains")')
mask = qf(mols=mol_list, n_jobs=-1)  # list[bool]

# CNS 样化合物,带有属性界限
qf = mc.query.QueryFilter('MATCHRULE("rule_of_cns") AND HASPROP("tpsa", <=, 90)')
mask = qf(mols=mol_list, n_jobs=-1)

查询语法:

  • MATCHRULE("rule_of_five") — 应用命名规则
  • HASALERT("pains") — 匹配命名目录(pains、brenk、nibr、tox 等)
  • HASPROP("mw", <, 500) — 比较描述符(比较运算符不用引号)
  • HASGROUP("privileged_scaffolds") — 匹配化学基团
  • HASSUBSTRUCTURE("c1ccccc1") — 子结构匹配
  • 运算符:AND、OR、NOT

列出可用描述符:mc.rules.list_descriptors()

工作流模式

模式 1:化合物库的初步筛选

import datamol as dm
import medchem as mc
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("compounds.csv")
mols = [dm.to_mol(s) for s in df["smiles"]]

# 类药性规则
rules_df = mc.rules.RuleFilters(rule_list=["rule_of_five", "rule_of_veber"])(mols=mols, n_jobs=-1)

# 通过查询组合 PAINS + 常见警示
qf = mc.query.QueryFilter('MATCHRULE("rule_of_five") AND NOT HASALERT("pains")')
pass_mask = qf(mols=mols, n_jobs=-1)

df["passes_rules"] = rules_df["pass_all"].values
df["drug_like"] = pass_mask
filtered_df = df[df["drug_like"]]
filtered_df.to_csv("filtered_compounds.csv", index=False)

模式 2:先导化合物优化过滤

import medchem as mc

rules_df = mc.rules.RuleFilters(rule_list=["rule_of_leadlike_soft"])(mols=candidates, n_jobs=-1)
nibr_df = mc.structural.NIBRFilters()(mols=candidates, n_jobs=-1)
complex_mask = mc.functional.complexity_filter(
    mols=candidates, complexity_metric="bertz", limit="95", n_jobs=-1
)

passes = (
    rules_df["pass_all"]
    & nibr_df["pass_filter"]
    & complex_mask
)

模式 3:检测官能团

import medchem as mc

group = mc.groups.ChemicalGroup(groups=["common_warhead_covalent_inhibitors"])
matches = [group.has_match(mol) for mol in mol_list]
warhead_mols = [mol for mol, m in zip(mol_list, matches) if m]

最佳实践

  1. 视情况而定——已上市药物常常违反 Ro5;前药和天然产物是常见的例外。
  2. 组合过滤器——规则、警示目录和复杂度阈值一起使用效果最佳。
  3. 使用并行化——对于超过 1000 个分子的库,传递 n_jobs=-1。
  4. 检查返回类型——RuleFilters 和结构类返回 DataFrames;函数式辅助函数返回布尔数组。
  5. Lilly demerits 是可选的——单独安装 lilly-medchem-rules;函数式 API 中默认最大 demerits 为 160。
  6. 记录决策——保留 status、reasons 和 severity 列以备审计追踪。
