Existing deep learning methods, especially graph neural networks, can reveal the molecular structure of drugs and thus efficiently predict the metabolic stability of molecules. However, most of these methods focus on the message passing between adjacent atoms in the molecular graph, ignoring the relationship between bonds. This makes it difficult for these methods to estimate accurate molecular representations, thereby being limited in molecular metabolic stability prediction tasks.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We propose the MS-BACL model based on bond graph augmentation technology and contrastive learning strategy, which can efficiently and reliably predict the metabolic stability of molecules. To our knowledge, this is the first time that bond-to-bond relationships in molecular graph structures have been considered in the task of metabolic stability prediction. We build a bond graph based on \u2018atom-bond-atom\u2019, and the model can simultaneously capture the information of atoms and bonds during the message propagation process. This enhances the model\u2019s ability to reveal the internal structure of the molecule, thereby improving the structural representation of the molecule. Furthermore, we perform contrastive learning training based on the molecular graph and its bond graph to learn the final molecular representation. Multiple sets of experimental results on public datasets show that the proposed MS-BACL model outperforms the state-of-the-art model.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
