Abstract

Lead compounds with the potential to progress to viable drug candidates have been identified from libraries using several strategies. These include rapid screening of large diverse collections, thematic libraries, project-directed libraries, and three-dimensional molecular models of corporate databases. There have been numerous success stories, including the identification of several clinical candidates.

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry.

A combinatorial library that responds to its target by increasing the concentration of strong binders at the expense of weak binders sounds ideal. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry has the potential to achieve exactly this. In this review, we will highlight the unique features that distinguish dynamic combinatorial chemistry from traditional combinatorial chemistry, and that could make a useful addition to the set of combinatorial techniques used in drug discovery.

Multi-component reactions and evolutionary chemistry.

Multi-component reactions (MCRs) provide a new approach towards the efficient synthesis of diverse compounds and compound libraries. MCRs are evolving from being purely a chemistry curiosity to being recognized as having increasing relevance for drug discovery in terms of lead discovery and optimization. The combination of MCR-type chemistry-planning with evolutionary in silico and in vitro prediction of drug potential or biological properties is a new and powerful tool in drug discovery.
