How Combinatorial Chemistry Accelerates Drug Discovery

Quick fact

The split-pool method can generate millions of compounds in a single experiment, and the entire library can be screened in days using high-throughput robots.

Why this is interesting

Imagine having a million different molecules to test as a new medicine, but only weeks to prepare them. How can chemists possibly make that many compounds in such a short time?
