contents As the size of accessible compound libraries expands to over 10 billion, the need for more efficient structure-based virtual screening methods is emerging. Different pre-screening methods have been developed for rapid screening, but there is still a lack of structure-based methods applicable to various proteins that perform protein-ligand binding conformation prediction and scoring in an extremely short time. Here, we describe for the first time a deep-learning framework for structure-based pharmacophore modeling to address this challenge. We frame pharmacophore modeling as an instance segmentation problem to determine each protein hotspot and the location of corresponding pharmacophores, and protein-ligand binding pose prediction as a graph-matching problem. PharmacoNet is significantly faster than state-of-the-art structure-based approaches, yet reasonably accurate with a simple scoring function. Furthermore, we show the promising result that PharmacoNet effectively retains hit candidates even under the high pre-screening filtration rates. Overall, our study uncovers the hitherto untapped potential of a pharmacophore modeling approach in deep learning-based drug discovery.
