Summary
This paper presents GPS (gene expression profile predictor on chemical structures), a deep-learning-based drug discovery platform that screens large compound libraries and optimizes lead molecules by matching disease transcriptomic profiles with compound-induced transcriptomic features predicted from chemical structures. The approach enables de novo drug discovery guided by transcriptomic features, moving beyond traditional drug repurposing to discover novel therapeutics that reverse disease-associated transcriptional phenotypes.

· 3 pulledIdentifying drugs that reverse disease-associated transcriptomic features has been widely explored for drug repurposing, but its potential for de novo drug discovery remains underexplored.
Here, we present gene expression profile predictor on chemical structures (GPS), a deep-learning-based drug discovery platform, guided by transcriptomic features, that screens large compound libraries and optimizes lead molecules.
We first develop a model that captures transcriptomic perturbation signatures solely from chemical structures and deploy it to library compounds.
