  • 构建多智能体系统,通过共享记忆实现化学推理协同。
  • 引入块级分子表示法,提升生成分子的可编辑性与合理性。
  • 在多个评测中显著优于主流模型,尤其在药物靶点结合力上提升4倍。

我们提出MolLingo,一个模拟化学家推理过程的多智能体系统,用于自动化分子设计。现有基于大模型的方法要么缺乏外部工具接入,要么缺少多智能体协作与共享记忆,难以实现迭代、证据驱动的分子设计。MolLingo通过文献代理、化学家代理和调度器三者协同,并借助共享内存模块,每个代理配备领域专用工具。为实现有效分子推理,我们提出基于BRICS的片段枚举(BFE),将分子分解为具有化学意义的构建单元,以块级SMILES与常见化学名联合表示,弥合分子结构与大模型语义空间的鸿沟,支持原子级推理与编辑。作为早期治疗药物设计案例,化学家代理还结合分子对接获得的结合位点几何与残基级蛋白上下文,优化分子对靶标的结合能力。在四个基准测试中,MolLingo持续优于前沿大模型与专用基线,包括在相同模型下比GPT-5.4提升四倍的对接得分,多种大模型底座下一致的药物性质优化,以及在TOMG-Bench上超越前沿大模型和基于强化学习的优化方法RePO。结果表明,当通过化学有意义的表示与生物学真实的结构上下文引导时,大模型已具备强大的分子设计辅助能力。代码已开源:https://anonymous.4open.science/status/MolLingo-7450。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present MolLingo, a multi-agent system that emulates the reasoning process of a chemist to automate molecular design. Existing LLM-based approaches either operate as standalone generative models without access to external tools or lack the multi-agent coordination and shared memory needed for iterative, evidence-driven reasoning across the molecular design pipeline. MolLingo addresses this by coordinating a Literature Agent, a Chemist Agent, and an Orchestrator through a shared memory module, with each agent equipped with domain-specific tools. To enable effective molecular reasoning, we introduce BRICS-based Fragment Enumeration (BFE), a synthesis-aware molecular fragmentation method that decomposes molecules into chemically meaningful building blocks represented as block-based SMILES paired with common chemical names. This representation bridges molecular structure and LLM semantic space, enabling block-level reasoning and editing that is difficult with raw SMILES alone. As a case study in early-stage therapeutic design, MolLingo further grounds the Chemist Agent's reasoning in binding site geometry and residue-level protein context derived from molecular docking to optimize molecules for stronger target binding. Across four benchmarks, MolLingo consistently outperforms frontier LLMs and specialized baselines, including a fourfold docking score improvement over GPT-5.4 despite using the same underlying model, consistent drug property optimization gains across multiple LLM backbones, and state-of-the-art results on TOMG-Bench, surpassing both frontier LLMs and the RL-based optimization method RePO. Our results suggest that LLMs are already capable molecular design assistants when guided through chemically meaningful representations and biologically grounded structural context.
