Why there is a counter between parentheses there, I don't know, but in case
there's no option to remove it, you might just manually remove it using a
regex to remove anything between parentheses on a line that starts with >
for example:
from rdkit import Chem
import re
from io import StringIO
m = Chem.MolFromSmiles("CCC")
m.SetProp("pKa","3.3")
sio = StringIO()
with Chem.SDWriter(sio) as o:
o.write(m)
sio.seek(0)
with open("temp3.sdf", "w") as f:
for line in sio.readlines():
f.write(re.sub(r'^>(.*?)\((.*?)\)', r'>\1', line))
