1 Billion Compounds.
The largest blood-brain barrier permeability screen ever conducted, powered by BBB-Nuke v0.12.0.
We screened 1 billion small molecules from Enamine REAL, PubChem, and proprietary libraries for BBB penetration using 8 NVIDIA A100 GPUs. Every compound was scored for physicochemical properties, pKa, CNS-MPO, efflux transporter liability, and final P(BBB). The interactive map below shows ~460,000 representative compounds projected into chemical space via UMAP, colored by the metric of your choice.
How we screened a billion molecules.
The screen ran on a Standard_ND96amsr_A100_v4 instance on Azure ML — 8 NVIDIA A100 80GB GPUs, 96 CPU cores, and 900GB of system RAM. The BBB-Nuke v0.12.0 pipeline was deployed as a streaming architecture: 8 GPU workers running batched GCN inference for pKa prediction, and 48 CPU workers handling standardization, physicochemical properties, CNS-MPO, and efflux RF classifiers in parallel.
Compounds were drawn from three sources: Enamine REAL (make-on-demand chemical space), PubChem (public bioactive compounds), and existing proprietary libraries. Each compound was standardized via RDKit, scored for 10 physicochemical properties, passed through a graph convolutional network for pKa prediction, evaluated by 7 efflux transporter RF classifiers, and assigned a final P(BBB) by the v5 gradient boosting classifier.
Post-screening analysis included Murcko scaffold decomposition to identify core chemical scaffolds, Morgan/ECFP4 fingerprint generation for structural similarity, and GPU-accelerated clustering via RAPIDS cuML (MiniBatch K-Means with k=1,000 clusters and HDBSCAN for fine-grained sub-structure).
The 3D visualization above uses UMAP (Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection) to project the 2048-dimensional fingerprint space into 2D and 3D coordinates. A stratified subsample of 500,000 compounds — enriched for high-scoring hits and structurally diverse cluster representatives — is rendered via WebGL for interactive exploration.
