Notes:
Using solid-phase organic synthesis, we have prepared a 432-member (18 × 8 × 3) sample library based on the AG 490 “tyrphostin” template. By utilizing 432 reactors each equipped with a unique radiofrequency memory ID tag, the 432 products could be obtained as discrete entities (i.e., not as mixtures) via 18 + 8 + 3, or 29 reactions. Reading each ID tag after each reaction step permitted the “directed sorting” of reactors into appropriate reaction vessels containing multiple reactors. After synthesis, all products were cleaved from the solid-phase support and lyophilized to afford powders. Characterization of 5% of the library members by NMR and mass spectrometry provided verification of structure. In addition, TLC analysis of every library member provided evidence that most (or all) are composed of a single major organic compound. Some 88% of these samples were obtained in amounts of between 5 and 19 mg. Using this reaction sequence and the “directed sorting” approach, the synthesis of much larger AG 490-based libraries can be envisioned. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
