Large arrays of hypothesis-driven, rationally designed experiments are powerful tools for solving complex chemical problems. Conceptual and practical aspects of chemical high-throughput experimentation are discussed. A case study in the application of high-throughput experimentation to a key synthetic step in a drug discovery program and subsequent optimization for the first large scale synthesis of a drug candidate is exemplified.
大量由假设驱动、经过合理设计的实验是解决复杂化学问题的有力工具。本文讨论了化学高通量实验的概念和实际应用方面。文中举例说明了一个案例研究,即高通量实验在药物发现计划中的一个关键合成步骤中的应用,以及随后对一种候选药物首次大规模合成的优化。
