PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF COMBINATORIAL COMPOUND LIBRARIES

摘要

Described is a process for the production of a library from a plurality of different units consisting of a solid or semisolid carrier (bead), a synthetic ligand and a binary information structure (tag), by means of which the building blocks of the ligand are coded, and the use of that library for searching for novel classes of active ingredient and individual active ingredients. Also described are compounds found using that process. The process is characterized by the use of element atoms or ions as binary tags which are bound non covalently to the beads. Their unique combination which can be measured by e.g. mass spectrometry codes for the specific ligand.
