title: Nuclear magnetic resonance in target profiling and compound file enhancement.
abstract: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has matured as an important tool in drug discovery and development, with firm establishment of its roles in lead generation and optimization through application of NMR-based fragment screening and structure-based drug design. Besides these applications, NMR technology has expanded to make contributions both earlier and later in the drug discovery process. This review will focus on the impact of NMR in the early stages of drug discovery, in particular in characterizing the viability of targets for further discovery exercises and improving high-throughput screening through compound file-enhancement initiatives.
