Used extensively in relation with drug discovery
Principle of Combinatorial Chemistry
◦ Generation of Compound Libraries from Molecular Building blocks
Combinatorial Chemistry
Establishment of Libraries
◦ Unbiased libraries Typically a common chemical core (starting point scaffold) Large number og building blocks Generating ”lead” structures
◦ Directed libraries Again a common chemical core Limited number of building blocks Directed towards a specific target Used to optimize ”lead” structures
Combinatorial Chemistry
Solid Phase Synthesis Product is Linked to a Solid Support
◦ Easy removal of excess reagents through filtration
◦ Dendrimer and poly ethylene glycol resins has been developed to improve the yield
Reaction proceeds in Solution
◦ Faster validation times relative to solid phase synthesis
◦ Standard analytical protocols can be used to characterize products between each reaction step
Solution Phase Synthesis
Solid phase synthesis+ Easy purification- Low yield, Tagged at the point of attachment,
Dificult to apply standard characterization methods on intermediates
Solution phase synthesis+ Easy characterization of intermediates as well as
end pruduct, No limitations in attachment point.- Difficult to drive the reaction towards the product,
extensive purification is needed
Advantages/Disadvantages
Polymer-supported reagents and scavangers
◦ Hybrid between solid and solution phase synthesis
◦ Reagents and scavangers are brougth to the reaction on solid supports
Solution to Disadvantages
Parallel Synthesis
◦ Each compund is prepared in a specific vessel
◦ Array of reaction vessels
◦ Automated control of reactions
Preparation of Libraries
Pool/Split Synthesis
◦ Beads are split into differentvessels
◦ Then reacted, shuffled, and
split again.
◦ 1000 compund library prepared from 10 building blocks in each step 30 reaction steps. (1110 steps for parallel synthesis)
Preparation of Libraries
Radio Frequency (RF) tagging
◦ Transponder tags incase in porous glass beads with a loading capacity of 30-300 mg of resin beads
Nano tagging
◦ One reacent development in the labeling of beads is the nano-reactors these are labled with 2D-barcodes making it possible to keep track of libraries with up to 100,000
Keeping Track of the Reactions
Parallel synthesis+ Easy to keep track of each compund, High yield- Large libraries takes manny reaction steps
Pool/Split+ Large libraries are prepared through a limited
number of reaction steps- Labelign are required to keep track of each
compound
Advantages/Disadvantages
Liquid-Liquid extraction◦ Extensivley used for solution-phase
combinatorial synthesis. ◦ Automated by frezing liquid phase.
Extraction Techniques for Purification
Fails when; ◦ Emulsions form◦ The impurities have the same solubility
properties
Extraction Techniques for Purification
Fluorous phase technique◦ Attach a insoluble perfluorinated moiety to the
compound.◦ Retain the molecules from fluorous solvent.
Solid-phase extraction◦ Based on adsorption to a suitable surfacesurface.◦ Impurities are washed away with a solvent where
in the compound are insoluble.
Library Formats
Combinatorial Libraries vary in size, amount, purity and structual complexity
The libraries can be devided into 3 groups
◦ 1: One-bead one-compound◦ 2: Preencoded libraries◦ 3: Spatially addressable libraries
Drug Discovery 1991-2003;
~2500 libraries
”Unbiased libraries”; 1-2 million compounds
Screening does not always result in hits.◦ ”Directed libraries”
build on a privileged structure”
◦ Libraries based on a modelling.
Lead Identification By screening pool/split solid-phase library of 128
000 2-arylindoles (1) split split into 320 pools of 400 compounds and screened against16 G-protein coupled receptor targets◦ Some pools both active and selective
Compund 2 higly selective for Natural Killer Cell receptors, therefore viable lead for medical chemitsry
Lead OptimizationLead Identification vs. Lead Optimization Lead identification libraries < 10 000 Lead optimization libraries 1000-2000 Lead optimization via focussed libraries
based on a privileged structure Both solution and solid-phase synthesis
