Hi Ganesh,

I guess the synthesis of a fragment can be quite different from the
synthesis of a whole molecule containing that fragment, so I don't know
if it is a valid assumtion that the SA scores of the fragments have to
add up to the SA score of the whiole molecule.

Kind regards,
Axel

Hi Axel,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I tried to implement the aforementioned script. It works very
well on whole molecules.

However, I am trying to implement the script on fragments.
For example, if I have fragments: A, B and C that makes up a whole
molecule "ABC", then the sum of SA scores of the fragments should be
equal to SA score of the whole molecule.

Right now, the summation doesn't add up.

I was wondering if there is a correction that needs to be made to the
sum of SA scores such that it is equal to the SA score of the whole
molecule.

    Hi Ganesh,

    are you aware that the SA Score IS implemented in RDKit:

    Dear RDKitters,

    I am trying a to find a way to implement the SA score as a sum of
    fragments contributions from this paper:

    Ertl, Peter, and Ansgar Schuffenhauer. 2009. “Estimation of
    Synthetic Accessibility Score of Drug-like Molecules Based on
    Molecular Complexity and Fragment Contributions.” /Journal of
    Cheminformatics/ 1 (1): 8.

    For example, if I have three different fragments: A, B and C and
    their respective SA scores, then the SA score of molecule "A+B+C"
    should be the sum of all three fragment SA scores.

    In practice though, the fragment SA scores do not add up.

    I was wondering if anyone across the cheminformatics community
    has successfully implemented this or a similar strategy?
