Abstract
The development of small molecule drugs is a lengthy and expensive process that could potentially be improved by new technologies. Lead optimization is an important part of small molecule drug discovery, where initial hit molecules are gradually developed into suitable drug candidates. It can be described as an iterative cycle of design, make and test phases, which can be further broken down into a series of concrete sub-problems, namely: molecular property prediction, molecule generation, chemical synthesis planning, experimental chemical synthesis, and experimental testing. This thesis explores machine learning methods to tackle a few of the sub-problems in small molecule lead optimization, with a focus on the early design phases
