Abstract

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) trigger unexpected pharmacological effects in vivo, often with unknown causal mechanisms. Deep learning methods have been developed to better understand DDI. However, learning domain-invariant representations for DDI remains a challenge. Generalizable DDI predictions are closer to reality than source domain predictions. For existing methods, it is difficult to achieve out-of-distribution (OOD) predictions. In this article, focusing on substructure interaction, we propose DSIL-DDI, a pluggable substructure interaction module that can learn domain-invariant representations of DDIs from source domain. We evaluate DSIL-DDI on three scenarios: the transductive setting (all drugs in test set appear in training set), the inductive setting (test set contains new drugs that were not present in training set), and OOD generalization setting (training set and test set belong to two different datasets). The results demonstrate that DSIL-DDI improve the generalization and interpretability of DDI prediction modeling and provides valuable insights for OOD DDI predictions. DSIL-DDI can help doctors ensuring the safety of drug administration and reducing the harm caused by drug abuse.
