<p>The chemical space for novel electronic donor-acceptor oligomers with targeted properties was explored using deep generative models and transfer learning. A General Recurrent Neural Network model was trained from the ChEMBL database to generate chemically valid SMILES strings. The parameters of the General Recurrent Neural Network were fine-tuned via transfer learning using the electronic donor-acceptor database from the Computational Material Repository to generate novel donor-acceptor oligomers. Six different transfer learning models were developed with different subsets of the donor-acceptor database as training sets. We concluded that electronic properties such as HOMO-LUMO gaps and dipole moments of the training sets can be learned using the SMILES representation with deep generative models, and that the chemical space of the training sets can be efficiently explored. This approach identified approximately 1700 new molecules that have promising electronic properties (HOMO-LUMO gap <2 eV and dipole moment <2 Debye), 6-times more than in the original database. Amongst the molecular transformations, the deep generative model has learned how to produce novel molecules by trading off between selected atomic substitutions (such as halogenation or methylation) and molecular features such as the spatial extension of the oligomer. The method can be extended as a plausible source of new chemical combinations to effectively explore the chemical space for targeted properties.</p>

Background: Natural naphthoquinones have shown diversified biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, and cytotoxic activities. However, they are also compounds with acute cytotoxicity, immunotoxicity, carcinogenesis, and cardio- and hepatotoxicity, then the modification at their redox center is an interesting strategy to overcome such harmful activity. Objective: In this study, four novel semisynthetic hydrazones, derived from the isomers α- and β-lapachones (α and β, respectively) and coupled with the drugs hydralazine (HDZ) and isoniazid (ACIL), were prepared, evaluated by electrochemical methods and assayed for anticancer activity. Method: The semisynthetic hydrazones were obtained and had their molecular structures established by NMR, IR, and MS. Anticancer activity was evaluated by cell viability determined by reduction of 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazol)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT). The electrochemical studies, mainly cyclic voltammetry, were performed, in aprotic and protic media. Result: The study showed that the compounds 2, 3, and 4 were active against at least one of the cancer cell lines evaluated, being compounds 3 and 4 the most cytotoxic. Toward HL-60 cells, compound 3 was 20x more active than β-lapachone, and 3x more cytotoxic than doxorubicin. Furthermore, 3 showed an SI value of 39.62 for HL-60 cells. Compound 4 was active against all cancer cells tested, with IC50 values in the range 2.90–12.40 μM. Electrochemical studies revealed a profile typical of self-protonation and reductive cleavage, dependent on the supporting electrolyte. Conclusion: These results therefore indicate that compounds 3 and 4 are strong candidates as prototypes of new antineoplastic drugs.
