Combinatorial chemistry
has emerged as a powerful tool for accelerating
drug discovery process. Compared to traditional
drug discovery approach, which requires
many days of work to synthesize and analyze
a single new compound, combinatorial chemistry
can produce and screen thousands of compounds
in weeks
for the discovery of novel drug entities
against various disease targets. The continuous
development of high throughput bioassay
screening formats coupled with human genomics
as a potential source of new biological
targets, has created an acute need for a
large number of structurally diverse molecules.
