Change stereochemistry of certain atoms in SMILES file

Run a SMILES file containing multiple structures. Perform a substructure match of a query SMILES structure against each input structure. In every found substructure, invert the stereo configuration of selected stereocenters of the query, then save the resulting SMILES.

This task originated from a topic on BlueObelisk.

Implementation[]

Take the following query substructure: O[C@H]1[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H](O1)CO)O)O)O

Run the query substructure against pubchem_sugars.smi.gz (file was constructed by selecting the all molecules from PUBCHEM database that contains this substructure query), and in every matched structure, invert stereo configurations of atoms that correspond to atoms #3, 4, 5 of the query substructure. Write the resulting SMILES to standard output.

The first 5 lines of the target file are:

O1[C@@H](C(=O)O)[C@H]([C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]1OC1C=CC2C(C)=CC(=O)OC=2C=1)O)O)O 128746
O1[C@H]([C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H]1CO)O)O)O)OC1C(C2=CC=CC=C2OC=1C1C=CC(=C(C=1)O)O)=O 10320573
S(=O)(=O)(O)O[C@@H]1[C@H](C(=O)OS(=O)(=O)O)O[C@H]([C@@H]([C@H]1O)O)O[C@H]1[C@@H](CO)O[C@@H]([C@@H]([C@H]1O)NC(C)=O)O 23654298
O1[C@H]([C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H]1C(=O)OC)O)OCC1C=CC=CC=1)OC(C)=O)OC 10338204
O([C@H]1[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@H](C(=O)O)O1)O)O)O)[C@@H]1CCC2[C@]1(C)CCC1[C@@]3(C)CCC(CC3CCC12)=O 162498

And the right output of the program would be:

O1[C@@H](OC2=CC3=C(C(=CC(O3)=O)C)C=C2)[C@H](O)[C@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H]1C(O)=O 128746
O1[C@H](CO)[C@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@@H]1OC1=C(C2=CC(O)=C(O)C=C2)OC2C(=CC=CC=2)C1=O 10320573
S(O[C@@H]1[C@@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H](O[C@@H]2[C@H](O)[C@@H](NC(=O)C)[C@@H](O)O[C@@H]2CO)O[C@@H]1C(OS(O)(=O)=O)=O)(O)(=O)=O 23654298
O1[C@H](C(OC)=O)[C@H](O)[C@@H](OCC2=CC=CC=C2)[C@@H](OC(=O)C)[C@@H]1OC 10338204
O([C@H]1[C@]2(CCC3C(C2CC1)CCC1[C@@]3(CCC(=O)C1)C)C)[C@@H]1O[C@H](C(O)=O)[C@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H]1O 162498

There are total 822 structures in the target file, and the example query matches every of them, and so the program should output 822 modified SMILES total.

Instructions:

Unpack 'graph' and 'molecule' projects into some folder
Create 'utils' folder nearby
Paste the above code into utils/stereo-invert.cpp file
Compile the file using the following commands:
$ cd graph; make CONF=Release32; cd ..
$ cd molecule; make CONF=Release32; cd ..
$ cd utils
$ gcc stereo-invert.cpp -o stereo-invert -O3 -m32 -I.. -I../common ../molecule/dist/Release32/GNU-Linux-x86/libmolecule.a ../graph/dist/Release32/GNU-Linux-x86/libgraph.a -lpthread -lstdc++
Run the program like that:
$ ./stereo-invert

set ss [ens create {O[C@H]1[C@@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H](O1)CO)O)O)O} smarts]

    if {[match ss -stereo 1 $ss $eh amap]} {
        atom invert $eh [lindex [lindex $amap 3] 1]
        atom invert $eh [lindex [lindex $amap 5] 1]
        atom invert $eh [lindex [lindex $amap 7] 1]
        puts [ens new $eh E_SMILES]
    } else {
        error "not matched"
    }
}

In Cactvs, the stereo hydrogen atoms after the @ or @@ are explicitly stored. This is the reason why (zero-based) atom map indices 3, 5, and 7 are used and not simply 3, 4 and 5.
