Diversity molecular

From a synthetic point of view, when planning a diversity-oriented synthesis, four potential types of molecular diversity to be incorporated are consistently highlighted in the literature  

Fimctional Group Diversity. Variation of the functional groups present in a molecule generally but also at specific sites within the gross structure. This gives 

Stereochemical Diversity Variation in the orientation of functional groups and potential macromolecule-interacting elements. Clearly, this is very important as nature is a three-dimensional (3D) environment. 

Scaffold or Skeletal Diversity Variation in the overall molecular framework, typically considered to be variation in ring structures and other rigidifying elements, resulting in molecules with distinct scaffolds and consequently molecular shapes. 

There is a widespread consensus that in terms of producing functionally (biologically) diverse molecules, the most important type of diversity that can be incorporated into a library is scaffold diversity.The rationale behind this is that biomacromolecules are (on a molecular scale) large 3D environments with certain defined potential binding pockets and surfaces, and as such they will interact only with small molecules that have complementary 3D structure. Libraries that contain compounds based around distinct molecular scaffolds and so distinct 3D shape and stmcture should therefore cover a large range of potential binding partners. 

Euclidean distance The Euclidean distance or Euclidean metric is the ordinaiy distance between two points that one would measure with a ruler and is given by the Pythagorean formula. It can be calculated using the following formula  

It follows all the four metric properties and is monotonic with Hamming distance. For dichotomous variables, (Euclidean distance) =Hamming Distance.

In these first studies, similarity measures were investigated to survey the molecular diversity of a set of molecules resolved on a given CSP in order to compare the extent of their application range. 

To demonstrate the excellent correlation (r- = 0.99) between the luminance of the images and molecular diversity, we plotted the luminance values of the map versus the mean similarity values of data sets (Fig. 4-13). From this plot, a scoring scheme for the classification of CSPs from specific to broad application range can be well established Crownpak CR > Pirkle DNBPG > Whelk > Chiralpak AD > Chiralcel OD. 

Chiralcel OD and Chiralpak AD are associated with the largest mean values of molecular diversity. 

For comparative purposes, Chiralcel OD and Crownpak CR could be used as an extreme case to delineate the basis of a molecular diversity scale. 

Caution must be emphasized here that this simple method which aims to measure the molecular diversity between two CSP classes does not provide an absolute scale. However, a relative analysis of luminance values (Table 4-5) can show how potentially different are the application range of two CSPs and can also help to select a subset of CSPs that represent the largest scope of applications. 

Fig. 4-14. Similarity maps comparing molecular diversity between two couples of CSP.

As we have already indicated, the diversity value of molecule sets combining two CSPs is difficult to interpret on an absolute scale. Only the relative position of each set can be useful to compare, and also the arrangement of the points in regard to the molecular diversity inherent to each individual molecule set of CSP. 

The potential of such reaction sequences for the generation of molecular diversity was also demonstrated by the synthesis of a library of heterocycles. Epoxide ring-opening with hydrazine and subsequent condensation with (3-diketones or other bifunctional electrophiles gave rise to a variety of functionalized heterocyclic structures in high purity [34]. A selection based on the substrate derived from cyclohexene oxide is shown in Scheme 12.12. 

ChEs present a wide molecular diversity that modulates their function in cholinergic synapses and non-synaptic contexts. This diversity arises at the genetic, post-transcriptional and post-translational levels.

Pyridazines 160 were obtained by microwave-assisted reaction of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds and hydrazine in AcOH and in the presence of DDQ as oxidant in order to obtain the aromatic compound in a one pot reaction [ 105]. The yields reported were relatively low although the method can be applied to the preparation of arrays of trisubstituted pyridazines with high molecular diversity (Scheme 57). 

The same kind of results were obtained using the ionic hquid [bmim] [PFg ] as the medium to carry out the reaction in the presence of TEA at 60 °C for 30 s under microwave irradiation [151,152]. Toluene can be also used as the solvent as well TEA as the acid [153]. Heating at 60 °C for a longer period also allowed the reaction of different ketones, thus increasing the potential of the reaction for the generation of molecular diversity around a tricycUc scaffold such as 236 in Scheme 87.

Points 1 and 5 refer to the increased importance of functional chemicals [291]. Owing to the wide parameter space determining functionality (not only molecular diversity), this demands much higher flexibility and speed in the preparation of new samples during the research phase. The behavior of complex molecular mixtures needs to be understood. In particular, product application, formulation, and blending skills need to be developed and acquired. In a more remote vision, this demands on-site distributed manufacture of functional chemicals such as paints and similar products.

Certain types of molecules, especially polypeptides and polynucleotides, lend themselves to synthesis on solid supports. In such syntheses, the starting material is attached to a small particle (bead) or a surface and the molecule remains attached during the course of the synthetic sequence. Solid phase synthesis also plays a key role in creation of combinatorial libraries, that is, collections of many molecules synthesized by a sequence of reactions in which the subunits are systematically varied to create a range of structures (molecular diversity).
