title: Synthetic library design.
abstract: Compound libraries have an important role in the drug discovery process. Various computational methods are available as decision support tools for medicinal chemists involved in compound library synthesis programs. These methods can be used to assemble a flexible library design scheme consisting of a structure-based library design followed by property-biased library refinement and final selection according to structure-activity-relationship considerations.
