This book overviews diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS), one of the leading and dynamic topics in organic chemistry and drug discovery. The first part covers key chemical methods addressing the generation of small molecules according to DOS principles and also important classes of molecules generated through DOS approaches, including peptidomimetics and macrocycles. In the next section, the concept of diversity-oriented synthesis is expanded to the description of chemical libraries and how these two elements are related. Part III is dedicated to modern approaches for screening DOS libraries, including high-throughput and high-content screening, small molecule microarrays, and smart screening assays. Finally, Part IV presents significant applications of DOS libraries and small molecules in the fields of drug discovery and chemical biology, reporting selected key studies and giving a picture of the prominent role of DOS in biomedical research.
This book reviews diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS), a leading and dynamic area in organic chemistry and drug discovery. It first covers key chemical methods for the generation of small molecules according to DOS principles as well as important classes of molecules generated through DOS approaches. The concept of diversity-oriented synthesis is then expanded to the description of chemical libraries. The book also examines modern approaches for screening DOS libraries and concludes with significant applications of DOS libraries and small molecules in the fields of drug discovery and chemical biology.
