Hi all,

canonicalization of fragment SMILES does not work properly. Below there are two examples of identical fragments. The only difference is the order of atoms (indices). However, it seems that RDKit canonicalization does not take into account atom types.

  Does someone have an idea how to solve this issue with small losses?

#1 ===========

m = RWMol()

for i in range(3):
    a = Atom(6)
    m.AddAtom(a)
a = Atom(0)
m.AddAtom(a)

m.GetAtomWithIdx(0).SetIsAromatic(True)  # set atom 0 as aromatic
m.GetAtomWithIdx(3).SetAtomMapNum(1)


m.AddBond(0, 1, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)
m.AddBond(1, 2, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)
m.AddBond(1, 3, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)

Chem.MolToSmiles(m)

OUTPUT: 'cC(C)[*:1]'

#2 ===========

m2 = RWMol()

for i in range(3):
    a = Atom(6)
    m2.AddAtom(a)
a = Atom(0)
m2.AddAtom(a)

m2.GetAtomWithIdx(2).SetIsAromatic(True) # set atom 2 as aromatic
m2.GetAtomWithIdx(3).SetAtomMapNum(1)


m2.AddBond(0, 1, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)
m2.AddBond(1, 2, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)
m2.AddBond(1, 3, Chem.rdchem.BondType.SINGLE)

Chem.MolToSmiles(m2)

OUTPUT: 'CC(c)[*:1]'
