Combinatorial Chemistry: A Guide for Librarians Philip Barnett Associate Professor and Science Reference Librarian Science/Engineering Library City College of New York (CUNY) [email protected] Abstract In the 1980s a need to synthesize many chemical compounds rapidly and inexpensively spawned a new branch of chemistry known as combinatorial chemistry. While the techniques of this rapidly growing field are used primarily to find new candidate drugs, combinatorial chemistry is also finding other applications in various fields such as semiconductors, catalysts, and polymers. This guide for librarians explains the basics of combinatorial chemistry and elucidates the key information sources needed by combinatorial chemists. Introduction Most librarians who serve chemists or chemistry students are familiar with the six main disciplines of chemistry. These are: Physical chemistry applies the fundamental laws of physics, such as thermodynamics, electricity, and quantum mechanics, to explain chemical behavior.

It describes about various Chromatographic techniques and is usage. Also it briefly describes about the instruments, methods used in it. Chromatographic separations can be carried out using a variety of supports, including immobilized silica on glass plates (thin layer chromatography), volatile gases (gas chromatography), paper (paper chromatography), and liquids which may incorporate hydrophilic, insoluble molecules (liquid chromatography).

INTRODUCTION Chromatography is the science which is studies which must be purified for use as "biopharmaceuticals" or the separation of molecules based on differences in their medicines. It is important to remember, however, that structure and/or composition.

The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on the main aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original research papers and also welcomes critical review papers. A typical paper would report on the design (with or without the support of computational methods), organic synthesis, characterization and biochemical/pharmacological evaluation of novel, potent compounds preferentially with a clear (or proven) mechanism of action and/or target. Other topics of interest are molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present a clear rational for a study, provide insight into the strategy and design of compounds and into the mechanism of action, and biological targets. Manuscripts reporting only computational studies are out-of-scope unless a new method (broadly applicable, validated and available to the community) is reported. Authors are kindly invited to look to published articles for the scope of the journal and the organisation of papers. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications, language services and much more.

  • Medicinal Chemistry 101 Overview
    Medicinal Chemistry 101: From Bench to Bedside Overview The drug development process is a team effort across multiple scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry and pharmacology. A medicinal chemist is a scientist with a background in organic chemistry who works in a lab to discover potential drug compounds that may combat disease. Medicinal chemists serve a very important role in the small molecule discovery process – from bench to bedside. Finding a target Multidisciplinary scientific teams work to identify something in the body that plays a role in disease. This process is called target Target identification. Targets are often Identification proteins, which include enzymes, ion and channels and receptors. Validation Once a target has been found, it must be confirmed that modulating the target can mitigate its disease- causing nature. This is called target validation. Getting the first hit Once a target has been identified and validated, chemists will screen vast libraries of chemical Hit-to-Lead compounds against the target to see which types of chemicals will engage with the target, known as hit-to-lead. If successful, a few different chemical structures will show activity against the target. With these first hits, scientists can then begin optimizing these chemical structures. Turning ‘hits’ into drug candidates Lead Using years of knowledge of Optimization organic chemistry, medicinal chemists are able to experiment with the chemical structures of the ‘hits’. Medicinal chemists will make subtle alterations to the makeup of the structure, always refining to ensure the best engagement and activity with the target. This is known as lead optimization. Moving closer to clinical trials Pre-Clinical Development Refining and optimizing a chemical structure can take several years, until a drug candidate is selected.
