Combinatorial Chemistry: A Guide for Librarians

Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 2002

In the 1980s a need to synthesize many chemical compounds rapidly and inexpensively spawned a new branch of chemistry known as combinatorial chemistry. While the techniques of this rapidly growing field are used primarily to find new candidate drugs, combinatorial chemistry is ...

Combinatorial Chemistry: A review

Combinatorial chemistry is a new technique which have been used for synthesis of defined compounds having screened for pharmacological activity. This technique leads to synthesis of pharmacologically, biologically active compounds and their QSAR studies.This article emphasizes the different methods of combinatorial chemistry concept and their methodology.

Combinatorial chemistry has matured in the last three decades: dedicated to Professor Árpád Furka on the occasion of his 80th birthday

Molecular diversity, 2012

Combinatorial chemistry was introduced in the 1980s. It provided the possibility to produce new compounds in practically unlimited number. New strategies and technologies have also been developed that made it possible to screen very large number of compounds and to identify useful components in mixtures containing millions of different substances. This dramatically changed the drug discovery process and the way of thinking of synthetic chemists. In addition, combinatorial strategies became useful in areas such as pharmaceutical research, agrochemistry, catalyst design, and materials research. Prof. Árpád Furka is one of the pioneers of combinatorial chemistry.

Combinatorics of combinatorial chemistry

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 1997

The hot topic among medicinal chemists today is a novel technique for chemical synthesis in drug research called combinatorial chemistry, where usually a core structure and some building‐block molecules are given and all combinatorially possible combinations are produced. The resulting set of compounds (called a library) can afterwards be systematically screened for a desired biological activity. In this paper we discuss the applications of the mathematical discipline of combinatorics to this process, especially an algorithm for the exhaustive and redundancy‐free generation of a combinatorial library as well as equations for the enumeration of library sizes.

Combinatorial chemistry and its application - a review

The use of combinatorial chemistry techniques has been explored as an alternative to conventional approaches for the synthesis of compounds in the drug discovery process. This technique is the starting point for the development of synthesis concepts that were intended to cover and explore the chemical space without having to prepare every individual compound. Combinatorial Chemistry technologies were developed in response to the increased screening capacities that are available when drug discovery changed its screening paradigm from a pharmacology-based approach to target oriented lead finding. This article will illustrate technique used in combinatorial chemistry, some of the advances made in recent years and their application in the synthesis of different peptides, oligosaccharides and other molecules.

The Effects of Combinatorial Chemistry and Technologies on Drug Discovery and Biotechnology – a Mini Review

Nova Biotechnologica et Chimica, 2014

The review will focus on the aspects of combinatorial chemistry and technologies that are more relevant in the modern pharmaceutical process. An historical, critical introduction is followed by three chapters, dealing with the use of combinatorial chemistry/high throughput synthesis in medicinal chemistry; the rational design of combinatorial libraries using computer-assisted combinatorial drug design; and the use of combinatorial technologies in biotechnology. The impact of "combinatorial thinking" in drug discovery in general, and in the examples reported in details, is critically discussed. Finally, an expert opinion on current and future trends in combinatorial chemistry and combinatorial technologies is provided.

From One to Millions: The Revolution of Combinatorial Chemistry

Journal of Analytical Techniques and Research, 2024

Combinatorial chemistry revolutionized discovery by enabling the rapid synthesis and screening of vast libraries containing millions of unique compounds. This review explores the core principles of library creation, including combinatorial explosion and parallel synthesis techniques like solid-phase and parallel synthesis. We discuss the advantages and limitations of this approach, highlighting its impact on accelerating discovery timelines in drug discovery, materials science, and beyond. Future advancements in automation, high-throughput screening, and computational modeling are poised to further enhance the power of combinatorial chemistry, driving innovation across diverse scientific fields.

History of combinatorial chemistry

Drug Development Research, 1995

The paper describes and compares the utility of the three chemical methods used for the synthesis of combinatorial libraries: (1) the mixed reactant method, (2) the portioningmixing method, and (3) light-directed synthesis. It also deals with historical aspects of these methods and with the most important screening methods ascociated with them. Q 1995 WII~Y-IIS, inc
