| abstract |
The invention provides a process for preparing a new pharmaceutical drug or diagnostic reagent, which includes the step of screening against a ligand or receptor a library of different synthetic compounds, which compounds are obtainable by synthesis in a component by component fashion which links each compound to one or more identifier tags which enable subsequent identification of reactions through which said components were incorporated and consequent deductive structural identification of said members. The same basic process can be used to provide new pesticides or herbicides. |
