Heterogenous phase as a mean in combinatorial chemistry

ABSTRACT

Combinatorial chemistry is a rapid and inexpensive technique for the synthesis of hundreds of thous and s of organic compounds of potential medicinal activity. In the past few decades a large number of combinatorial libraries have been constructed, and significantly supplement the chemical diversity of the traditional collections of the potentially active medicinal compounds. Solid phase synthesis was used to enrich the combinatorial chemistry libraries, through the use of solid supports [resins] and their modified forms. Most of the new libraries of compounds appeared recently, were synthesized by the use of solid-phase. Solid-phase combinatorial chemistry [SPCC] is now considered as an outst and ing branch in pharmaceutical chemistry research and is used extensively as a tool for drug discovery within the context of high-throughput chemical synthesis. The best general pure libraries synthesized by the use of solid phase combinatorial chemistry [SPCC] may well be those of intermediate complexity that are free of artifact-causing nuisance compounds
