Drug discovery and development is time-consuming and resource-intensive, motivating computational approaches such as diffusion models for de novo drug design. Many such models follow the structure-based drug design (SBDD) paradigm, generating molecules to fit a target binding pocket.
arXiv:2606. 01461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Developing effective anticancer therapeutics remains challenging due to tumor heterogeneity and the absence of well-defined molecular targets across cancer subtypes.
arXiv:2606. 23856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative molecular models for drug design are a promising direction with much active research.
arXiv:2607. 01105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present SynLaD, a latent diffusion framework for small-molecule generation that unifies ligand-based drug design objectives (what to make) with synthetic accessibility (how to make it).
arXiv:2607. 18144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Structure-based drug design (SBDD) leverages the 3D structure of protein targets, often complemented by other spatial constraints, to generate candidate binding molecules.
arXiv:2506. 14488v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Structure-based drug design (SBDD) models are central to modern pharmaceutical research, enabling the rational exploration of protein-ligand interactions at atomic resolution.
arXiv:2607. 19237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Designing small molecule ligands that bind with high affinity to specific protein pockets is a fundamental goal in drug discovery, as small molecules constitute a major fraction of approved therapeutics.
arXiv:2607. 08404v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current computational approaches for drug design typically focus on generating molecules conditioned on specific targets or general molecular properties, often neglecting the influence of disease context on target behavior and therapeutic outcomes.
arXiv:2607. 20550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The traditional "one drug, one target" paradigm of structure-based drug design (SBDD) frequently proves inadequate for treating multifactorial diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, owing to compensatory signaling pathways and the emergence of drug resistance.
arXiv:2606. 01220v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generating molecules that simultaneously satisfy drug-like properties and conform to the 3D structure of a target protein is a core challenge in structure-based drug design (SBDD).
arXiv:2608. 01007v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Dual-target drug design aims to generate 3D molecules that can simultaneously interact with two target proteins, offering a promising route for discovering polypharmacological compounds against complex diseases.
arXiv:2606. 00555v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-based drug design increasingly employs LLM agents to iteratively refine ligands against a target pocket, yet a viable ligand must satisfy two often-conflicting objectives -- binding affinity and druggability -- which single optimization steps rarely improve together.
