ABSTRACT
The high-throughput synthesis and screening of compound libraries hold tremendous promise for drug discovery and powerful methods for both solid-phase and solution-phase library preparation have been introduced. The question of which approach (solution-phase versus solid-phase) is best for the preparation of chemical libraries has been replaced by which approach is most appropriate for a particular target or screen. Herein we highlight distinctions in the two approaches that might serve as useful considerations at the onset of new programs. This is followed by a more personal account of our own focus on solution-phase techniques for the preparation of libraries designed to modulate cellular signaling by targeting protein-protein or protein-DNA interactions. The screening of our libraries against a prototypical set of extracellular and intracellular targets, using a wide range of assay formats, provided the first small-molecule modulators of the protein-protein interactions studied, and a generalized approach for conducting such studies.
