An especially effective and fruitful way to synthesize novel scaffolds is by isocyanide-based MCRs (IMCRs). They mostly rely on the classical reactions of the pioneers of this chemistry, Passerini and Ugi (Figure 3.1). Passerini was born in 1891 in Scandicci and was a Professor of Chemistry in Italy, from 1930 to 1932 at the University of Siena and from 1932 at the University of Florence. He died in 1962. Ivar Ugi was bom in 1930 in Estonia. After being Forschungsdirektor of the Zentrallabor in Leverkusen at BAYER , he accepted a chair as full professor at the USC in Los Angeles from 1967 to 1970. From there he moved to the Technische Universitat Miinchen in 1970, where he held the prestigious Emil Fischer chair until 2001.

This paper is a contribution to a research project Dispersion and transfer of metals to the biosphere in mining areas , supported by the MURST and University of Siena. 

The project was coordinated by the Studio di Ingegneria Ambientale (Milano, Italy). The preparation of the sediment reference material was carried out by Ecoconsult (Gavirate, Italy) and the Environment Institute of the EC Joint Research Centre of Ispra (Italy). The homogeneity and stability were verified at two laboratories from the Presidio Multizonale di Prevenzione (La Spezia and Venice, Italy). The material characterization (with regard to bacterial flora) was performed at the University of Siena (Italy). 

Acknowledgment The MALDI-TOF spectra were recorded in co-operation with Dr. R. Kriiger, Dr. G. Schulz and Dr. H. Much BAM, Berlin). The cyclic voltammograms were recorded in cooperation with Prof. Dr. P. Zanello University of Siena, Italy). 

Renato Seeber is Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. He received his Master s Degree (Laurea in Italy) in Chemistry at the University of Padova and subsequently worked at the same university and at the universities of Siena, Sassari, and Bologna.

In 1930 Mario Passerini became professor of Medicinal Chemistry at the Royal University of Siena. At a relatively advanced age he had a son, Pietro Passerini (1932-2008), destined to become professor of geology at the University of Florence. In 1936, Mario moved back to Florence, as professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry (Fig. 5.3 was photographed when he was Director of Pharmacy).

Our sample is drawn firom the Pharmaceutical Industry Database (PHID) built at the University of Siena. PHID combines several sector-specific proprietary datasets about R D activity, collaboration and final drug markets with data from public sources as well as companies confidential information and press releases. PHID covers 11418 R D projects developed by 2262 organizations including 427 pharmaceutical companies, 1222 biotech firms and 613 universities and other public and private research centers between 1989... 

For its part, COLIPA, in collaboration with the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM), the Rome Istituto Superiore di Sanith (ISS), the Tuscany Regional Health Authorities (ARPAT) and the University of Siena (Italy), has published a compilation of analytical methods aimed specifically at cosmetic products (Anselmi et al., 2004). These methods are intended to identify and quantitatively determine the substances listed in the various annexes of the EU Cosmetics Directive. Although most of these methods are not official , they do, at least, exist.
