Combinatorial chemistry parallel

Products /technologies Atlas high-throughput evaporators are designed to meet the demands of combinatorial chemistry, parallel synthesis, natural products research, and HPLC prep. The new technology and large sample capacity allows rapid evaporation of up to 1 liter or more of even the most difficult solvents in a few hours at low or moderate sample temperatures suitable for use with most sample formats, including microtiter plates, test tubes, and vials. 

Combinatorial chemistry, parallel synthesis, and solid-phase synthesis will continue to become more efficient and productive tools for the synthesis of compound libraries. Despite their still incomplete status, rationales about library diversity, drug-likeness, promiscuity... 

There are two main approaches to combinatorial chemistry—parallel synthesis and split synthesis. In parallel synthesis, each compound is prepared independently. Typically, a reactant is first linked to the surface of polymer beads, which are then placed into small wells on a 96-well glass plate. Programmable robotic instruments add different sequences of building blocks to the different wells, thereby making 96 different products. When the reaction sequences are complete, the polymer beads are washed and their products are released. 

A powerful tool to synthesize easily minute amounts of organic compounds on demand by using both ionic liquids droplets as microreactors and electrowetting as a fluidic motor has been described. These droplets can be moved, divided and combined on an open digital microfluidic lab-on-a-chip system [60]. This has been demonstrated with BTS ILs used as reaction media and supports, properly functionalized to perform the Grieco s multicomponent synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines (Fig. 5.5-3). It is assumed that this original concept should impact many areas, notably combinatorial chemistry, parallel synthesis, optimization of protocols, synthesis of dangerous products and embedded chemistry in a portable device. 

Compounds are transformed into each other by chemical reactions that can be run under a variety of conditions from gas-phase reactions in refineries that produce basic chemicals on a large scale, through parallel transformations of sets of compounds on well-plates in combinatorial chemistry, all the way to the transformation of a substrate by an enzyme in a biochemical pathway. This wide range of reaction conditions underlines the complicated task of imderstanding and predicting chemical reaction events. 

The major impetus for the development of solid phase synthesis centers around applications in combinatorial chemistry. The notion that new drug leads and catalysts can be discovered in a high tiuoughput fashion has been demonstrated many times over as is evidenced from the number of publications that have arisen (see references at the end of this chapter). A number of )proaches to combinatorial chemistry exist. These include the split-mix method, serial techniques and parallel methods to generate libraries of compounds. The advances in combinatorial chemistry are also accompani by sophisticated methods in deconvolution and identification of compounds from libraries. In a number of cases, innovative hardware and software has been developed tor these purposes. 

CHIRSOURCE aims to explore the use of chiral chromatography for combinatorial chemistry approaches. Combinatorial chemistry, as well as parallel synthesis. 

These conceptual goals are attained by several combinatorial methods and tools. Characteristic for combinatorial chemistry is the synthesis on solid support or by polymer-supported synthesis, allowing for much higher efficiency in library production. Synthesis can be conducted either in automated parallel synthesis or by split-and-recombine synthesis. Centerpieces of combinatorial methods further include specific analytical methods for combinatorial...

In the near future probably computer modelling, allowing the analysis of adsorption and elementary reactions at surfaces, will become increasingly helpful in catalyst selection. On the experimental side the field is changing drastically. Parallel testing equipment is now the state of the art. This field is often referred to as Combinatorial Chemistry . It is expected to have a large impact already in the near future. In fact, at present already companies have been formed in this field. 

The development of protein chip assays to determine protein function using purified components is a rapidly advancing area. Automated systems for the assay of protein function on chips in parallel for thousands of proteins simultaneously will likely be available in the next few years. These miniaturized arrays will be useful for basic research as well as for diagnostics and drug development. For instance, the combination of protein chips with combinatorial chemistry will allow the simultaneous screening of vast collections of small molecules against vast collections of potential target proteins. 

Tietze and coworkers developed two new domino approaches in the field of combinatorial chemistry, which are of interest for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Combinatorial chemistry can be performed either on solid phase or in solution using parallel synthesis. The former approach has the advantage that purification of the products is simple and an excess of reagents can be used. This is not possible for reactions in solution, but on the other hand all known transformations can be used. The Tietze group has now developed a protocol which combines the... 

Combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis are now the dominant methods of compound synthesis at the lead discovery stage [2]. The method of chemistry synthesis is important because it dictates compound physical form and therefore compound aqueous solubility. As the volume of chemistry synthetic output increases due to combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis, there is an increasing probability that resultant chemistry physical form will be amorphous or a neat material of indeterminate solid appearance. There are two major styles of combinatorial chemistry - solid-phase and solution-phase synthesis. There is some uncertainty as to the true relative contribution of each method to chemistry output in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Published reviews of combinatorial library synthesis suggest that solid-phase synthesis is currently the dominant style contributing to about 80% of combinatorial libraries [3]. In solid-phase synthesis the mode of synthesis dictates that relatively small quantitities of compounds are made.
