摘要
Small molecule antioxidants can inhibit or retard oxidation reactions and protect against free radical damage to cells, thus playing a key role in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, the environment, as well as materials. Experimentally driven antioxidant discovery is a major paradigm, and computationally assisted antioxidants are rarely reported. In this study, a functional-group-based alternating multitask self-supervised molecular representation learning method is proposed to simultaneously predict the antioxidant activities of small molecules for eight commonly used in vitro antioxidant assays. Extensive evaluation results reveal that compared with the baseline models, the multitask FG-BERT model achieves the best overall predictive performance, with the highest average F1, BA, ROC-AUC, and PRC-AUC values of 0.860, 0.880, 0.954, and 0.937 for the test sets, respectively. The Y-scrambling testing results further demonstrate that such a deep learning model was not constructed by accident and that it has reliable predictive capabilities. Additionally, the excellent interpretability of the multitask FG-BERT model makes it easy to identify key structural fragments/groups that contribute significantly to the antioxidant effect of a given molecule. Finally, an online antioxidant activity prediction platform called AOP (freely available at https://aop.idruglab.cn/) and its local version were developed based on the high-quality multitask FG-BERT model for experts and nonexperts in the field. We anticipate that it will contribute to the discovery of novel small-molecule antioxidants.
