In the world of medicinal chemistry, creating potent drugs involves exploring different structures and their effects. One key challenge is figuring out which drug variations (analogues) to make next. Researchers have come up with a new way to predict and design powerful drugs. This method combines a special computer model that understands chemical language with a tool that analyzes how different structures affect a drug's power. By doing this, scientists can generate new drug variations that are both powerful and different from existing ones. They can change the core structure of the drug and swap out different parts (substituents) in multiple places. This approach has never been done before and shows great promise in advancing drug design. Scientists used this method to predict which drug variations would be the most powerful. They tested different versions of their computer model and found that both the general and the more specific (fine-tuned) models were good at predicting powerful drugs. The models also helped create a wide range of new drug variations by changing their core structures and swapping out substituents in multiple places.
