Almost 20 years of combinatorial chemistry have emphasized the power of numbers, a key issue for drug discovery in the current genomic era, in which it has been estimated that there might be more than 10,000 potential targets for which it would be desirable to have small-molecule modulators. Combinatorial chemistry is best described as the industrialization of chemistry; the chemistry has not changed, just the way in which it is now carried out, which is principally by exploiting instrumentation and robotics coupled to the extensive use of computers to efficiently control the process and analyse the vast amounts of resulting data. Many researchers have contributed to the general concepts as well as to the technologies in present use. However, some interesting challenges still remain to be solved, and these are discussed here in the context of the application of combinatorial chemistry to drug discovery.
