Diversity Oriented Synthesis

Discover an enhanced synthetic approach to developing andscreening chemical compound libraries Diversity-oriented synthesis is a new paradigm for developinglarge collections of structurally diverse small molecules as probesto investigate biological pathways. This book presents the mosteffective methods in diversity-oriented synthesis for creatingsmall molecule collections. It offers tested and proven strategiesfor developing diversity-oriented synthetic libraries and screeningmethods for identifying ligands. Lastly, it explores some promisingnew applications based on diversity-oriented synthesis that havethe potential to dramatically advance studies in drug discovery andchemical biology. Diversity-Oriented Synthesis begins with an introductorychapter that explores the basics, including a discussion of therelationship between diversity-oriented synthesis and classiccombinatorial chemistry. Divided into four parts, the book: Offers key chemical methods for the generation of smallmolecules using diversity-oriented principles, includingpeptidomimetics and macrocycles Expands on the concept of diversity-oriented synthesis bydescribing chemical libraries Provides modern approaches to screening diversity-orientedsynthetic libraries, including high-throughput and high-contentscreening, small molecule microarrays, and smart screeningassays Presents the applications of diversity-oriented syntheticlibraries and small molecules in drug discovery and chemicalbiology, reporting the results of key studies and forecasting therole of diversity-oriented synthesis in future biomedicalresearch This book has been written and edited by leading internationalexperts in organic synthesis and its applications. Theircontributions are based on a thorough review of the currentliterature as well as their own firsthand experience developingsynthetic methods and applications. Clearly written and extensively referenced,Diversity-Oriented Synthesis introduces novices to thishighly promising field of research and serves as a springboard forexperts to advance their own research studies and develop newapplications.

Has the concept of Diversity Oriented Synthesis remained unchanged over these two decades, or do we observe improvements or deviations from the original guidelines drawn by the pioneers? The aim of this Research Topic is to collect contributions on the state-of-the-art and progress of Diversity Oriented Synthesis, and to foresee its shape in the next decade.

This first systematic summary of the impact of fragment-based approaches on the drug development process provides essential information that was previously unavailable. Adopting a practice-oriented approach, this represents a book by professionals for professionals, tailor-made for drug developers in the pharma and biotech sector who need to keep up-to-date on the latest technologies and strategies in pharmaceutical ligand design. The book is clearly divided into three sections on ligand design, spectroscopic techniques, and screening and drug discovery, backed by numerous case studies.

Chemical genomics is a field of research both in academics and in the life sciences industry. Various aspects of the interface between chemistry and biology are covered in this volume, such as chemogenomics efforts in the pharmaceutical industry, diversity-oriented synthesis, chemogenomic approaches to the study of cell function, and more.

The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors provides the first detailed survey of the biochemical, physiological, and pharmacological properties of recombinant ionotropic glutamate receptors. The distinguished contributors show how the molecular characteristics of these receptors account for many of the properties of native ionotropic glutamate receptors. They also examine in detail the properties of glutamate receptor subunits, including receptor modulation by phosphorylation and the anatomical localization of specific glutamate receptor subunits as determined by in situ hybridization and immunochemistry. The Ionotropic Glutamate Receptors conveys the first clear insights into the molecular bases underlying the wealth of pharmacological and physiological data on these receptors.

Synthetic chemistry plays a central role in many areas of chemical biology; utilising recent case studies, the goal of Chemical and Biological Synthesis is to highlight the full impact that the preparation of novel reagents can have in chemical biology. Covering the synthetic approaches that can be applied across the whole field of chemical biology, this book provides synthetic chemists with the broader context to which their work contributes and the biological questions that can be addressed through it. An ideal guide for postgraduate students and researchers in synthetic organic chemistry and chemical biology, Chemical and Biological Synthesis introduces synthetic techniques and methods to those who wish to incorporate synthesis for the first time in their biology-focused research programmes.

Presents a wide-ranging overview of essential topics and recent advances in MCR chemistry Heterocycles are a central component in natural product chemistry, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and material science. New synthetic methodologies integrating the sequencing of multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are today being used for the rapid synthesis of diversified heterocycles in just one step. Multicomponent Reactions towards Heterocycles presents an up-to-date summary MCR chemistry with a focus on the conjugation between modern synthetic methodologies and MCRs. Featuring contributions by leaders in the field, this comprehensive resource highlights applications of MCRs in natural products and intermediate synthesis, discusses current trends and future prospects in MCR chemistry, outlines novel multicomponent procedures, and more. The authors provide the practical information required for designing new reaction strategies and mechanisms, covering topics including MCR-based green synthetic methods, cyclization and cycloaddition reactions, heterocycle multicomponent syntheses in a continuous flow, catalytic alkynoyl generation, MCR synthesis of saturated heterocycles, and C–H functionalization and multicomponent reactions. Provides a thorough overview of heterocycles as input in multicomponent reactions Discusses recent advances in the field of MCR chemistry and progress in the synthesis and functionalization of heterocycles Demonstrates the use of MCRs to simplify synthetic design and achieve complexity and diversity in novel bioactive molecules Highlights examples of multicomponent polymerizations, target-oriented synthesis, and applications of MCR in medicinal chemistry Explains the methodology of using on-resin MCRs to produce heterocycle compounds Illustrating the key role of MCRs towards heterocycles in natural product synthesis, drug discovery, organic synthesis, and other applications, Multicomponent Reactions towards Heterocycles is required reading for synthetic chemists in academia and industry alike.
