大型语言模型(LLMs)在多个领域展现出变革潜力。尽管已有工作将LLMs应用于计算机辅助合成规划(CASP)中的分子SMILES表示,但现有方法通常仅针对单一任务,如前体预测。本文提出ChemBART,一种基于SMILES的、在化学反应数据上预训练的LLM,实现“一个模型、一次预训练、多种下游任务”的统一框架。通过在反应表达式上进行掩码填充预训练,ChemBART可有效解决多种化学问题,包括前体/试剂生成、温度-产率回归、分子性质分类,以及在强化学习框架中优化策略和价值函数,并结合蒙特卡洛树搜索实现多步合成路线设计。相比仅针对单分子预训练的模型,ChemBART能应对更广泛的化学挑战并实现集成化合成规划。关键的是,ChemBART设计的多步合成路线及反应条件经湿实验验证,证实其路径更短,产率较文献基准提升约30%。本工作验证了以反应为中心的预训练的有效性,展示了ChemBART在推动完整合成规划流程中的广泛适用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated transformative potential across diverse fields. While LLMs have been applied to molecular simplified molecular input line entry system (SMILES) in computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP), existing methodologies typically address single tasks, such as precursor prediction. We introduce ChemBART, a SMILES-based LLM pre-trained on chemical reactions, which enables a unified model for multiple downstream chemical tasks--achieving the paradigm of "one model, one pre-training, multiple tasks." By leveraging outputs from a mask-filling pre-training task on reaction expressions, ChemBART effectively solves a variety of chemical problems, including precursor/reagent generation, temperature-yield regression, molecular property classification, and optimizing the policy and value functions within a reinforcement learning framework, integrated with Monte Carlo tree search for multi-step synthesis route design. Unlike single-molecule pre-trained LLMs constrained to specific applications, ChemBART addresses broader chemical challenges and integrates them for comprehensive synthesis planning. Crucially, ChemBART-designed multi-step synthesis routes and reaction conditions directly inspired wet-lab validation, which confirmed shorter pathways with ~30% yield improvement over literature benchmarks. Our work validates the power of reaction-focused pre-training and showcases the broad utility of ChemBART in advancing the complete synthesis planning cycle.
