FIGURE 11.7
Schematic representation of the split-pool-split approach pioneered by Philochem for the construction of single-pharmacophore
DNA-encoded chemical libraries based on two sets of building blocks. The strategies feature (i) conjugation of the first set of chemical compounds
(e.g.,
n
Fmoc amino acids) to distinct amino-modified oligonucleotides, followed by Fmoc removal and HPLC purification; (ii) pooling of the reactions
and splitting into
m
separate reaction vessels, corresponding to the reactions for the insertion of the second building block; (iii) chemical incorporation
of the second building block; (iv) encoding of the second building block (e.g., by hybridization of partially complementary oligonucleotides, followed
by Klenow fragment-mediated DNA polymerization); (v) pooling of the encoded reactions to yield a DNA-encoded chemical library containing
n

molecules. (From [54]: copyright
