Overview
Syntheseus is a package for end-to-end retrosynthetic planning.
- ⚒️ Combines search algorithms and reaction models in a standardized way
- 🧭 Includes implementations of common search algorithms
- 🧪 Includes wrappers for state-of-the-art reaction models
- ⚙️ Exposes a simple API to plug in custom models and algorithms
- 📈 Can be used to benchmark components of a retrosynthesis pipeline
Quick Start
To install syntheseus with all the extras, run
conda env create -f environment_full.yml
conda activate syntheseus-full
pip install "syntheseus[all]"
This sample environment pins torch to version 2.2.2. To run the models under 1.x please downgrade to syntheseus 0.6.0.
See here if you prefer a more lightweight installation that only includes the parts you actually need.
Citation and usage
Since the release of our package, we've been thrilled to see syntheseus be used in the following projects:

Development
Syntheseus is currently under active development.
If you want to help us develop syntheseus please install and run pre-commit
checks before committing code.
We use pytest for testing. Please make sure tests pass on your branch before
submitting a PR (and try to maintain high test coverage).
python -m pytest --cov syntheseus/tests
