The powerful combination of large-scale drug-related interaction networks and deep learning provides new opportunities for accelerating the process of drug discovery. However, chemical structures that play an important role in drug properties and high-order relations that involve a greater number of nodes are not tackled in current biomedical networks. In this study, we present a general hypergraph learning framework, which introduces Drug-Substructures relationship into Molecular interaction Networks to construct the micro-to-macro drug centric heterogeneous network (DSMN), and develop a multi-branches HyperGraph learning model, called HGDrug, for Drug multi-task predictions. HGDrug achieves highly accurate and robust predictions on 4 benchmark tasks (drug-drug, drug-target, drug-disease, and drug-side-effect interactions), outperforming 8 state-of-the-art task specific models and 6 general-purpose conventional models. Experiments analysis verifies the effectiveness and rationality of the HGDrug model architecture as well as the multi-branches setup, and demonstrates that HGDrug is able to capture the relations between drugs associated with the same functional groups. In addition, our proposed drug-substructure interaction networks can help improve the performance of existing network models for drug-related prediction tasks.
大规模药物相互作用网络与深度学习的强大组合为加速药物发现过程提供了新的机会。然而,目前的生物医学网络并未解决在药物性质中起重要作用的化学结构和涉及更多节点的高阶关系。在本研究中,我们提出了一种通用的超图学习框架,将药物-亚结构关系引入分子相互作用网络中,构建以药物为中心的微观-宏观异质网络(DSMN),并开发了一种多分支超图学习模型 HGDrug,用于药物多任务预测。HGDrug 在 4 个基准任务(药物-药物、药物-靶标、药物-疾病和药物-副作用相互作用)上实现了高度准确和稳健的预测,优于 8 种最先进的特定任务模型和 6 种通用常规模型。实验分析验证了 HGDrug 模型架构以及多分支设置的有效性和合理性,并表明 HGDrug 能够捕捉与同一功能基团相关的药物之间的关系。此外,我们提出的药物-亚结构相互作用网络有助于提高现有网络模型在药物相关预测任务中的性能。
