title: Combinatorial chemistry: from peptides and peptidomimetics to small organic and heterocyclic compounds.
abstract: Modified dipeptides have been used successfully for the generation of a variety of small organic and heterocyclic combinatorial libraries, including linear urea, polyamine, hydantoin, thiohydantoin, cyclic urea, cyclic thiourea and bicyclic guanidine. The synthesis and screening results for a number of these libraries are described. The solid phase synthesis of heterocyclic compounds such as diazepine and thiomorpholinone are also described.
