Generative models are frequently used for de novo design in drug discovery projects to propose new molecules. However, the question of whether or not the generated molecules can be synthesized is not systematically taken into account during generation, even though being able to synthesize the generated molecules is a fundamental requirement for such methods to be useful in practice. Methods have been developed to estimate molecule synthesizability, but, so far, there is no consensus on whether or not a molecule is synthesizable. In this paper we introduce the Retro-Score (RScore), which computes a synthetic feasibility score of molecules by performing a full retrosynthetic analysis through our data-driven synthetic planning software Spaya, and its dedicated API: Spaya-API (https://spaya.ai). After a comparison of RScore with other synthetic scores from the literature, we describe a pipeline to generate molecules that validate a list of targets while still being easy to synthesize. We further this idea by performing experiments comparing molecular generator outputs across a range of constraints and conditions. We show that the RScore can be learned by a Neural Network, which leads to a new score: RSPred. We demonstrate that using the RScore or RSPred as a constraint during molecular generation enables to obtain more synthesizable solutions, with higher diversity. The open-source Python code containing all the scores and the experiments can be found on https://github.com/iktos/generation-under-synthetic- constraint. 5-Cyano-2-Furancarboxylic acid Chemscene Formula of 6-Aminobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborol-1(3H)-ol PMID:23962101
