From Latent Manifolds to Targeted Molecular Probes: An Interpretable, Kinome-Scale Generative Machine Learning Framework for Family-Based Kinase Ligand Design

This study introduces a novel, interpretable generative machine learning framework for designing kinase ligands, integrating ChemVAE-based latent space modeling, a Kinase Association Likelihood (KAL) scorer, Bayesian optimization, and cluster-guided local neighborhood sampling. It addresses the challenge of representing complex kinase small molecules and their scaffolds.

Generative AI in Drug Discovery
Latent Space Organization
Interpretable Model Design
Scaffold-Aware Ligand Design

Explores the use of advanced AI models like ChemVAE and Bayesian optimization for de novo molecular design, specifically for targeted kinase ligands. Discusses the evolution from SMILES-based to graph-based representations and the challenges of complex molecular topology.

Analyzes how kinase ligands organize into a low-dimensional manifold in the ChemVAE latent space, with SRC-like scaffolds acting as a central 'hub'. This organization enables rational scaffold transformation and identifies intrinsic degeneracy in scaffold encoding.

Details the development and integration of a Kinase Association Likelihood (KAL) scorer and cluster-guided local neighborhood sampling. Emphasizes the diagnostic transparency of the framework, revealing limitations like the 'representation gap' in SMILES-based models.

Focuses on the strategies for scaffold transformation, including global exploration via Bayesian search and local transformation via cluster-guided engineering. Highlights the success in converting LCK-derived molecules into novel SRC-like chemotypes and the challenges in recovering multi-ring aromatic systems.

Generative Strategies Comparison

Feature Bayesian Optimization (Global) Cluster-Guided Local Sampling (Local)
Scaffold Diversity
  • Broader exploration, diverse candidates
  • Preserves critical topological features
Aromatic Ring Complexity
  • Systematically failed (0-1 rings)
  • Often recovered multi-ring systems
Targeted Transformation
  • Less effective for specific scaffolds
  • Highly effective (e.g., LCK to SRC-like)
Representation Gap
  • Exposed by SMILES limitations
  • Still constrained by SMILES decoding

LCK-to-SRC Scaffold Transformation Success

Our framework demonstrated remarkable success in transforming LCK-derived molecules into novel SRC-like chemotypes, with LCK accounting for approximately 40% of high-similarity outputs. This highlights LCK's unique 'plasticity' for repurposing into SRC-targeted leads, enabled by our guided local sampling approach that leverages topological affinities in latent space.
