MAIN FINDING: Fragment-based rules can produce drug-like molecules effectively, highlighting chemical space saturation.
KEY EVIDENCE: Most generated compounds overlap significantly with known chemicals in the PubChem database.
APPROACH: The method used a stochastic SMILES generator to create diverse molecular structures from simple components.
SIGNIFICANCE: This work emphasizes the need for advanced criteria to explore truly unique chemical spaces beyond existing databases.
