Combinatorial Chemistry: From Theory to Application (2nd edition)

The new edition of this practice-oriented handbook features thoroughly updated contents, including recent developments in parallel synthesis.
A new chapter on screening complements the overview of combinatorial strategy and synthetic methods.
This revolutionary method enables organic and medicinal chemists to synthesize thousands or even millions of potentially interesting compounds in a single reaction sequence. Combined with current methods of high throughput analysis, combinatorial methods have almost completely replaced the traditional step-by-step synthesis of potential drugs.
Retaining its practice-oriented approach, this new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments in parallel synthesis, while a new chapter on screening complements the overview of combinatorial strategy and synthetic methods. The result is a handbook tailored to the needs of the industry, with almost all the authors affiliated with leading pharmaceutical companies.
