โฆ Synopsis
The ideal designed screening library should contain compounds with a variety of structural shapes and molecular properties, while avoiding redundancies. Other requirements involve the need to find structurally distinct leads and to recognise drug-like molecules. Functional diversity analysis is one way in which these objectives can be achieved. For this, molecular descriptions that relate to both structure and properties of molecules are needed, as well as their evaluation in terms of biological relevance.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the synthesis of purine derivatives due to the discovery of purine-derived ligands for a variety of nucleotide dependent enzymes. The majority of chemistry has focused on substitution of the purine core structure by alkylation at N9 and nuc
