From Benchmark to Bench: Can Agents Survive Real-World Drug Discovery?

The paper introduces MAGI, an open modular agent that orchestrates molecular‑design tools by setting objectives, launching optimization, interpreting structure–activity relationships, and adjusting strategy. In nine retrospective lead‑optimization campaigns from three pharmaceutical companies, MAGI produced valid molecules via either direct LLM generation or delegation to REINVENT 4; LLM proposals stayed closer to local chemistry and achieved comparable or higher activity with fewer operations, while REINVENT explored broader chemical space. The success of a campaign depended on the accuracy of predictive models rather than the generation route, and a blinded evaluation showed chemists could not distinguish MAGI’s outputs from expert‑generated compounds, though the SAR reasoning was deemed plausible yet incomplete. The study positions MAGI as a coordination layer that can be plugged into existing workflows, but notes that the current ceiling for real projects is set by scorer applicability rather than tool orchestration.

DrugGen 2: A disease-aware language model for enhancing drug discovery

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.
