title: [New methods in pharmaceutical research: combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening].
abstract: New lead-identification methodologies such as high-throughput screening and combinatorial chemistry have been integrated into pharmaceutical research over the past 5-10 years. More rational use in the selection of potential preclinical candidates for some difficult targets has increased the chances of success.
