The development of phosphorylation-suppressing inhibitors targeting Signal Transducer and Activator Transcription 3 (STAT3) represents a promising therapeutic strategy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, generative model was developed using transfer learning virtual screening, leveraging comprehensive dataset STAT3 to explore the chemical space novel candidates. This approach yielded chemically diverse library compounds, which were prioritized through molecular docking dynamics (MD) simulations. Among identified candidates, HG110 molecule demonstrated potent suppression phosphorylation at Tyr705 inhibited its nuclear translocation in IL6-stimulated H441 cells. Rigorous MD simulations further confirmed stability interaction profiles top candidates within binding site. Notably, HG106 exhibited superior affinities stable conformations, with favorable interactions involving key residues pocket, outperforming known inhibitors. These findings underscore potential deep expedite discovery selective inhibitors, providing compelling pathway advancing NSCLC therapies.

Despite implementing hundreds of strategies, cancer drug development suffers from a 95% failure rate over 30 years, with only 30% approved drugs extending patient survival beyond 2.5 months. Adding more criteria without eliminating nonessential ones is impractical and may fall into the "survivorship bias" trap. Machine learning (ML) models enhance efficiency by saving time cost. Yet, they not improve success identifying root causes failure. We propose "STAR-guided ML system" (structure-tissue/cell selectivity-activity relationship) to addressing three overlooked interdependent factors: potency/specificity on/off-targets determining efficacy in tumors at clinical doses, on/off-target-driven tissue/cell selectivity influencing adverse effects normal organs optimal doses balancing efficacy/safety as determined selectivity. STAR-guided can directly predict dose/efficacy/safety five features design/select best drugs, enhancing development.

Abstract The discovery of phosphorylation-suppressed inhibitors for Signal Transducer and Activator Transcription 3 (STAT3) presents a novel therapeutic strategy non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite the pivotal roles STAT3 in progression, effective remain limited, especially efficiently suppressing phosphorylation at Try705.
