Molecular Features

Each molecule is represented as a graph with 9 node features:

1. Atomic number (normalized)
2. Degree (number of bonds)
3. Formal charge
4. Hybridization type
5. Aromaticity (binary)
6. In ring (binary)
7. Implicit valence
8. Explicit valence
9. Atomic mass (normalized)

BBB Permeability Rules

The system checks compliance with BBB-optimized drug rules:

• Molecular Weight: 150-450 Da
• LogP: 1-5
• TPSA: <90 Ų
• H-bond Donors: ≤3
• H-bond Acceptors: ≤7

Usage Examples

Single Prediction

from predict_bbb import BBBGNNPredictor

predictor = BBBGNNPredictor()
result = predictor.predict('CN1C=NC2=C1C(=O)N(C(=O)N2C)C')  # Caffeine

print(f"BBB Score: {result['bbb_score']:.3f}")
# Output: BBB Score: 0.782

Batch Prediction

smiles_list = ['CCO', 'c1ccccc1', 'CC(=O)O']
results = predictor.predict_batch(smiles_list)

for r in results:
    print(f"{r['smiles']}: {r['bbb_score']:.3f} ({r['category']})")
# Output:
# CCO: 0.793 (BBB+)
# c1ccccc1: 0.802 (BBB+)
# CC(=O)O: 0.115 (BBB-)
