US-driven trends in combinatorial chemistry

Chris Tils
The Institute for Prospective Technological Studies Report
Abstract
Combinatorial Chemistry is set to become a core technology for pharmaceutical and chemical companies. In combination with technologies such as High Throughput Screening (HTS), robotics, advanced software and genetics, it has the ability to shorten the time to market for new drugs and make drug discovery a less costly process. Combinatorial chemistry is now also moving into new fields of application like agrochemicals and advanced materials.

Abstract
A series of β-turn peptide mimetics with a nipecotic acid heterocyclic scaffold was designed by NMR analysis of the C-terminal γ-chain of fibrinogen to provide the lead GPIIb/IIIa (fibrinogen receptor) antagonist RWJ-50042. We have employed solid-phase parallel synthesis for the preparation of over 200 analogues of this lead with a protocol of optimization cycles. This strategy produced some nipecotamide analogues with a 100-fold improvement in potency.

Abstract
The conceptual and technical approaches that led to the explosive growth of combinatorial chemistry began approximately 20 years ago. In the past decade, combinatorial chemistry has continued to expand with new chemistries, technological improvements and, most importantly, a clear demonstration of its utility in the identification of active compounds for research and drug-discovery programs. This article describes the conceptual and practical breakthroughs that have been critical for the development of synthetic combinatorial methods and includes the most recent developments and applications of mixture-based combinatorial libraries.

A new and efficient multicomponent solid-phase synthesis of 2-acylaminomethylthiazoles

Bernd Henkel, Michael Sax and Alexander Domling
Tetrahedron Letters 44 (2003) 3679–3682
Abstract
A new multicomponent reaction (MCR) for the preparation of 2-substituted thiazole libraries using Rink amide resin is described. Thiazoles are assembled in a one-pot MCR of a thiocarboxylic acid, aldehyde, 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)-2-iso-cyanoacrylate with a resin-bound primary amine. Aliphatic and aromatic thiocarboxylic acids as well as aliphatic and (hetero-) aromatic aldehydes work in the reaction. Cleavage of the product yields the substituted thiazoles in reasonable to good purity.
