Combinatorial Chemistry
• Synthesis of many structures (diversity)
•• combinatorial technology, combinatorial library molecular diversity
What is Combinatorial Chemistry?
A synthetic strategy which leads to a large set of compounds.
• Product of matrix chemistry (systematic synthesis)
• Automation of synthesis (speed)
Why do we need Combinatorial Chemistry ?Why do we need Combinatorial Chemistry ?
1. From New Drug discovery --- biodiversity drug design
2. From Genome Project --- post-Genome Era more new drug targets
GenomeProject
TargetIdentification
Lead Search Development
Issues : ! Human Diversity ----- Customized Drug ! Possible Targets ----- Too many
Solutions for Lead Compound Search :1. Existing Sample collection : a. Natural Sources scarce
b. Drug Design lead to homogeneous & specific sets of compounds.2. De Novo Design
Too many unexpected & complicated synthesis
3. Combinatorial Chemistry
Drug Development of 21st Century
Drug-like Compounds
How Many We Want from Combinatorial Chemistry
possible combination of drug like compounds : ~ 1063 -64
synthesizable number of compounds : ~ 10 24
Practical number of compounds in a library : 106 with design < 103 with virtual screening , virtual library
Solution (?) -- Combination of Design & Informatics

Paradigm Shift of Drug Development
1. Nature does it all the time. -- can we mimic mother nature ?
2. Are there ways to automate the synthesis ?
-- Immune System –Molecular Diversity
-- Peptide synthesizer : 40 min./cycle-- DNA synthesizer : 1.5 min./cycle
3. Are there ways to generate many compounds at a time ?

Solid Phase Organic Synthesis
•• solid phase synthesis : needs optimization for every new reaction •• Time required to develop a combinatorial chemistry : 6 - 24 months :
•• Size of the combinatorial library Purpose of the library
: General Library Lead Search SAR Construction Target Area
