Extended Data Fig. 4 Visualizing chemical space across different prediction score thresholds.
a,b, t-Distributed neighbor embedding (t-SNE) plot of compounds with high and low antibiotic prediction scores, in addition to compounds in the training set, for different prediction score thresholds. The plot shows the chemical similarity or dissimilarity of various compounds, and active compounds in the training set (red dots) are seen to largely separate compounds with high prediction scores (green, black, and purple dots) from compounds with low prediction scores (brown dots).
Extended Data Fig. 5 Examples of rationale calculations using Monte-Carlo tree search.
a, Illustration of the MCTS forward pass using compound 1. The figure shows three possible search paths from the root (compound 1) by deleting peripheral bonds or rings (highlighted in red). Due to space limitations, only three steps from the root are shown. b, Illustration of a complete search path from the root (compound 1) to a leaf node (the rationale). Chemprop is used to predict the activity of each leaf node, and these predictions are used to make updates to the statistics of each intermediate node in the backward pass.

a,b, Rank-ordered numbers of hits (a) and non-hits (b) associated with maximal common substructures (MCSs) identified by a grouping method. Here, any hit associated with any of the MCSs shown shares a minimum of 12 atoms with the MCS. Dashed lines in MCSs indicate either single or double bonds. Each green or brown bar shows the prediction score of each MCS viewed as a molecule in its own right. Where bars are thin, the corresponding MCS prediction scores are approximately zero (including all brown bars in (b)). c,d, Similar to (a), but here, any hit associated with any of the MCSs shown shares a minimum of 10 (c) or 15 (d) atoms with the MCS. e, Illustration of the rationales (red) determined using a Monte Carlo tree search for example hits (black) associated with MCSs A1-A12. No hit associated with MCS A12 possessed a rationale. f, MCS prediction scores (blue bars) and the average prediction scores of all rationales of all hits associated with MCSs A1-A12 (red bars). Where blue bars are thin, the corresponding MCS prediction scores are approximately zero. No hit associated with MCS A12 possessed a rationale.

a, Closest active compounds (right), as measured by Tanimoto similarity, are from the training set of 39,312 compounds. Compounds are colored according to associated rationale groups (as indicated in parentheses), and the identifier and Tanimoto similarity score of each closest active compound are displayed. b, S. aureus MIC and human cell IC50 values of the four compounds in (a), shown on a log scale. Bars show the means of two biological replicates (points) and are colored by the bacterial strain, human cell type, or media condition tested. Asterisks indicate values larger than 128 µg/mL.

Bars show the mean of two biological replicates (individual points). b, Survival curves of B. subtilis 168 after combination treatment with kanamycin and compounds 1 and 2, respectively, as determined by plating and CFU counting. Initial CFU values are ~107. Each point is representative of the mean of two biological replicates.

Supplementary information
Supplementary Information
This file contains Supplementary Notes 1-4, Supplementary References, and Supplementary Tables 1-9.
Reporting Summary
Supplementary Data 1
Training set of 39,312 compounds tested for antibiotic activity and cytotoxicity, in addition to 200 RDKit features used to augment the models and cytotoxicity testing results. Antibiotic activity was defined using a 20% relative mean growth cut-off in S. aureus RN4220. Cytotoxicity was defined using a 90% relative mean cell viability cut-off in HepG2 cells, HSkMCs, and IMR-90 cells. Data are from two biological replicates.
Supplementary Data 2
Model predictions, rationales, and procured compounds from the ensemble Chemprop model. Compound SMILES strings and corresponding prediction scores are shown for all 3,646 hits, out of 12,076,365 compounds whose antibiotic activity and cytotoxicity against human cells were predicted. Rationale and scaffold SMARTS strings, vendor catalogue information for all 283 procured and tested compounds shown in Fig. 3e of the main text, and vendor catalogue information for all 17 procured and tested compounds as part of the structure–activity relationship analyses shown in Extended Data Fig. 10 are also provided, in addition to the MCS SMARTS strings for the analyses described in Supplementary Note 2 and Extended Data Fig. 6.
Supplementary Data 3
Mutations arising in cells exposed to compounds. For each compound, results are shown for at least two independently passaged or suppressor mutant populations. All mutations that passed mapping filters are listed here. Black boxes highlight mutations in similar regions across sequencing replicates either present in the same gene, or present in an adjacent gene or intergenic region.
Supplementary Data 4
Training and test data for models predicting proton motive force-altering activity. Proton motive force-altering activity was defined using a 30% relative mean fluorescence change in S. aureus RN4220 in the presence of DiSC3(5), a proton motive force-sensitive dye. 475 antibacterial compounds from Supplementary Data 1 were tested, and all inactive antibacterial compounds were assumed to not alter proton motive force. Data are from two biological replicates.
