Combinatorial chemistry: A novel method in drug discovery and its application
نویسنده
چکیده
Combinatorial chemistry is a new technique developed in pharmaceutical industry, which involves synthesis of compounds in mass instead of a single compound, which are screened as a whole mixture for particular biological activity. Because of the rapid synthesis of compounds, this method saves the time and cost associated with the drug discovery. This brief review article includes combinatorial strategies, screening methods and encoding technologies and some of the applications in drug discovery.

A Novel Strategy of Ugi-4CR/Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Synthesis of 1H-1,2,3-Triazole-Modified Peptidoimetics
In this protocol, we report a novel approach for the synthesis of a new class of heterocyclic 1H-1,2,3-triazole-modified peptidomimetic compounds. The process consists of an Ugi four-component condensation reaction of amines, an isocyanide, an aldehyde and acids followed by a Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with an azide group in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuSO4</...
متن کاملAssessment of "drug-likeness" of a small library of natural products using chemoinformatics
Even though natural products has an excellent record as a source for new drugs, the advent of ultrahigh-throughput screening and large-scale combinatorial synthetic methods, has caused a decline in the use of natural products research in the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the efficiency in generating and screening a high number of synthetic combinatorial compounds; whereas traditional ...
