contents Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) has revolutionized drug discovery by enabling the rational design of molecules for specific protein targets. Despite significant advancements in improving docking scores, advanced 3D-SBDD generative models still face challenges in producing drug-like candidates that meet medicinal chemistry standards and pharmacokinetic requirements. These limitations arise from their inherent focus on molecular interactions, often neglecting critical aspects of drug-likeness. To address these shortcomings, we introduce the Collaborative Intelligence Drug Design (CIDD) framework, which combines the structural precision of 3D-SBDD models with the chemical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). CIDD begins by generating supporting molecules with 3D-SBDD models and then refines these molecules through LLM-supported modules to enhance drug-likeness and structural reasonability. When evaluated on the CrossDocked2020 dataset, CIDD achieved a remarkable success ratio of 37.94%, significantly outperforming the previous state-of-the-art benchmark of 15.72%. Although improving molecular interactions and drug-likeness is often seen as a trade-off, CIDD uniquely achieves a balanced improvement in both by leveraging the complementary strengths of different models, offering a robust and innovative pathway for designing therapeutically promising drug candidates.
