Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) has emerged as a popular approach in drug discovery, leveraging three-dimensional protein structures to generate drug ligands. However, existing generative models encounter several key challenges: (1) Incorporating boundary condition constraints, (2) Integrating hierarchical structural conditions and (3) Ensuring spatial modeling fidelity. To overcome these limitations, we propose SculptDrug, a spatial condition-aware generative model based on Bayesian Flow Networks (BFNs). First, SculptDrug follows a BFNs-based framework and employs a progressive denoising strategy to ensure spatial modeling fidelity, iteratively refining atom positions while enhancing local interactions for precise spatial alignment. Second, we introduce the Boundary Awareness Block, which incorporates protein surface constraints into the generative process to ensure that the generated ligands are geometrically compatible with the target protein. Finally, we design a Hierarchical Encoder that captures global structural context while preserving fine-grained molecular interactions, ensuring overall consistency and accurate ligand–protein conformations. We evaluate SculptDrug on the CrossDocked dataset, and experimental results demonstrate that SculptDrug outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, proving the efficacy of spatial condition-aware modeling.
