Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The discovery of new molecules has traditionally focused in two broad areas, biologically active molecules, which are used as drugs for the treatment of life-threatening diseases, and new materials, which are used in commercial, especially high technological applications. In both areas, the strategy used to discover new molecules has involved two basic operations: (i) a more or less random choice of a molecular candidate, prepared either via chemical synthesis or isolated from natural sources, and (ii) the testing of the molecular candidate for the property or properties of interest. This discovery cycle is repeated indefinitely until a molecule possessing the desirable properties is located. In the majority of cases, the molecular types chosen for testing have belonged to rather narrowly defined chemical classes. For example, the discovery of new peptide hormones has involved work with peptides; the discovery of new therapeutic steroids has involved work with the steroid nucleus; the discovery of new surfaces to be used in the construction of computer chips or sensors has involved work with inorganic materials, etc. (for example, see R. Hirschmann, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. in Engl. 1991, 30, 1278-1301). As a result, the discovery of new functional molecules, being, ad hoc in nature and relying predominantly on serendipity, has been an extremely time-consuming, laborious, unpredictable, and costly enterprise.

A brief account of the strategies and tactics used in the discovery of new molecules is described below. The emphasis is on biologically interesting molecules. However, as discussed below, there are technical problems encountered in the discovery of molecules and in the development of fabricated materials which can serve as new materials for high technological applications.

Modern theories of biological activity state that biological activities, and therefore physiological states, are the result of molecular recognition events. For example, nucleotides can form complementary base pairs so that complementary single-stranded molecules hybridize resulting in double- or triple-helical structures that appear to be involved in regulation of gene expression. In another example, a biologically active molecule, referred to as a ligand, binds with another molecule, usually a macromolecule referred to as ligand-acceptor (e.g. a receptor or an enzyme), and this binding elicits a chain of molecular events which ultimately gives rise to a physiological state, e.g. normal cell growth and differentiation, abnormal cell growth leading to carcinogenesis, blood-pressure regulation, nerve-impulse-generation and -propagation, etc. The binding between ligand and ligand-acceptor is geometrically characteristic and extraordinarily specific, involving appropriate three-dimensional structural arrangements and chemical interactions.

Design and Synthesis of Mimetics of Biological Ligands

A currently favored strategy for development of agents which can be used to treat diseases involves the discovery of forms of ligands of biological receptors, enzymes, or related macromolecules, which mimic such ligands and either boost (i.e., agonize) or suppress (i.e., antagonize) the activity of the ligand. The discovery of such desirable ligand forms has traditionally been carried out either by random screening of molecules (produced through chemical synthesis or isolated from natural source's, for example, see K. Nakanishi, Acta Pharm. Nord., 1992, 4, 319-328.), or by using a so-called "rational" approach involving identification of a lead-structure, usually the structure of the native ligand, and optimization of its properties through numerous cycles of structural redesign and biological testing (for example see Testa, B. & Kier, L. B. Med. Res. Rev. 1991, 11, 35-48 and Rotstein, S. H. & Murcko, M. A. J. Med. Chem. 1993, 36, 1700-1710.). Since most useful drugs have been discovered not through the "rational" approach but through the screening of randomly chosen compounds, a hybrid approach to drug discovery has recently emerged which is based on the use of combinatorial chemistry to construct huge libraries of randomly-built chemical structures which are screened for specific biological activities. (Brenner, S. & Lerner, R. A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1992, 89, 5381)

Most lead-structures which have been used in "rational" drug design are native polypeptide ligands of receptors or enzymes. The majority of polypeptide ligands, especially the small ones, are relatively unstable in physiological fluids, due to the tendency of the peptide bond to undergo facile hydrolysis in acidic media or in the presence of peptidases. Thus, such ligands are decisively inferior in a pharmacokinetic sense to nonpeptidic compounds, and are not favored as drugs. An additional limitation of small peptides as drugs is their low affinity for ligand acceptors. This phenomenon is in sharp contrast to the affinity demonstrated by large, folded polypeptides, e.g., proteins, for specific acceptors, e.g., receptors or enzymes, which can be in the subnanomolar range. For peptides to become effective drugs, they must be transformed into nonpeptidic organic structures, i.e., peptide mimetics, which bind tightly, preferably in the nanomolar range, and can withstand the chemical and biochemical rigors of coexistence with biological fluids.

Despite numerous incremental advances in the art of peptidomimetic design, no general solution to the problem of converting a polypeptide-ligand structure to a peptidomimetic has been defined. At present, "rational" peptidomimetic design is done on an ad hoc basis. Using numerous redesign-synthesis-screening cycles, peptidic ligands belonging to a certain biochemical class have been converted by groups of organic chests and pharmacologists to specific peptidomimetics; however, in the majority of cases the results in one biochemical area, e.g., peptidase inhibitor design using the enzyme substrate as a lead, cannot be transferred for use in another area, e.g., tyrosine-kinase inhibitor design using the kinase substrate as a lead.

In many cases, the peptidomimetics that result from a peptide structural lead using the "rational" approach comprise unnatural amino acids. Many of these mimetics exhibit several of the troublesome features of native peptides (which also comprise alpha-amino acids) and are, thus, not favored for use as drugs. Recently, fundamental research on the use of nonpeptide scaffolds, such as steroidal or sugar structures, to anchor specific receptor-binding groups in fixed geometric relationships have been described (see for example Hirschmann, R. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1992, 114, 9699-9701; Hirschmann, R. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1992, 114, 9217-9218); however, the success of this approach remains to be seen.

In an attempt to accelerate the identification of lead-structures, and also the identification of useful drug candidates through screening of randomly chosen compounds, researchers have developed automated methods for the generation of large combinatorial libraries of peptides and certain types of peptide mimetics, called "peptoids", which are screened for a desirable biological activity (see Gordon, E. M. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 1385-1401). For example, the method of H. M. Geysen, (Bioorg. Med. Chem. Letters, 1993, 3, 397-404; Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1984, 81, 3998) employs a modification of Merrifield peptide synthesis, wherein the C-terminal amino acid residues of the peptides to be synthesized are linked to solid-support particles shaped as polyethylene pins; these pins are treated individually or collectively in sequence to introduce additional amino-acid residues forming the desired peptides. The peptides are then screened for activity without removing them from the pins. Houghton, (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1985, 82, 5131; Eichler, J. & Houghton, R. A. Biochemistry, 1993, 32, 11035-11041, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,631,211) utilizes individual polyethylene bags ("tea bags") containing C-terminal amino acids bound to a solid support. These are mixed and coupled with the requisite amino acids using solid phase synthesis techniques. The peptides produced are then recovered and tested individually. S. P. A. Fodor et al., (Science 1991, 251, 767) described light-directed, spatially addressable parallel-peptide synthesis on a silicon wafer to generate large arrays of addressable peptides that can be directly tested for binding to biological targets. These workers have also developed recombinant DNA/genetic engineering methods for expressing huge peptide libraries on the surface of phages (Cwirla et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1990, 87, 6378; Barbas, et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1991, 881, 7978-7982).

In another combinatorial approach, V. D. Huebner and D. V. Santi (U.S. Pat. No. 5,182,366) utilized functionalized polystyrene beads divided into portions each of which was acylated with a desired amino acid; the bead portions were mixed together, then divided into portions each of which was re-subjected to acylation with a second desirable amino acid producing dipeptides, using the techniques of solid phase peptide synthesis. By using this synthetic scheme, exponentially increasing numbers of peptides were produced in uniform amounts which were then separately screened for a biological activity of interest.

Zuckermann and coworkers (For examples, see Zuckermann, et al. J. Med. Chem. 1994, 37, 2678-2685 & Zuckermann, et al. Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 1992, 91, 1) also have developed similar methods for the synthesis of peptide libraries and applied these methods to the automation of a modular synthetic chemistry for the production of libraries of N-alkyl glycine peptide derivatives, called "peptoids", which are screened for activity against a variety of biochemical targets. (See also, Symon et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1992, 89, 9367). Encoded combinatorial chemical syntheses have been described recently (Brenner, S. & Lerner, R. A. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1992, 89, 5381; Barbas, C. F. et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1992, 89, 4457-4461; see also Borchardet, A. & Still, W. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 373-374; Kerr, J. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 2529-2531).

M. J. Kurth and his group (Chen, C. et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 2661-2662.) have applied organic synthetic strategies to develop non-peptide libraries synthesized using multi-step processes on a polymer support. Although the method demonstrates the utility of standard organic synthesis in the application and development of chemical libraries, the synthetic conditions are limited by compatibility with the solid support.

The development of substrates or supports to be used in separations has involved either the polymerization/crosslinking of monomeric molecules under various conditions to produce fabricated materials such as beads, gels, or films, or the chemical modification of various commercially available fabricated materials e.g., sulfonation of polystyrene beads, to produce the desired new materials. In the majority of cases, prior art support materials have been developed to perform specific separations or types of separations and are thus of limited utility. Many of these materials are incompatible with biological macromolecules, e.g., reverse-phase silica frequently used to perform high pressure liquid chromatography can denature hydrophobic proteins and other polypeptides. Furthermore, many supports are used under conditions which are not compatible with sensitive biomolecules, such as proteins, enzymes, glycoproteins, etc., which are readily denaturable and sensitive to extreme pH's. An additional difficulty with separations carried out using these supports is that the separation results are often support-batch dependent, i.e. they are irreproducible.

Recently a variety of coatings and composite-forming materials have been used to modify commercially available fabricated materials into articles with improved properties; however the success of this approach remains to be seen.

If a chromatographic support is equipped with molecules which bind specifically with a component of a complex mixture, that component will be separated from the mixture and may be released subsequently by changing the experimental conditions (e.g., buffers, stringency, etc.) This type of separation is appropriately called "affinity chromatography" and remains an extremely effective and widely used separation technique (see Perry, E. S. in Techniques of Chemistry, Vol. 12 (J. Wiley) & May, S. W. in Separations and Purification 1978, 3rd ed.). It is certainly much more selective than traditional chromatographic techniques, e.g chromatography on silica, alumina, silica or alumina coated with long-chain hydrocarbons, polysaccharide and other types of beads or gels which in order to attain their maximum separating efficiency need to be used under conditions that are damaging to biomolecules, e.g., conditions involving high pressure, use of organic solvents and other denaturing agents, etc. (for example see Stewart, D. J., et al. J. Biotechnology 1989, 11, 253-266; Brown, E., et al. Int. Symp. Affinity. Chromatography & Molecular Interactions 1979, 86, 37-50).

The development of more powerful separation technologies depends significantly on breakthroughs in the field of materials science, specifically in the design and construction of materials that have the power to recognize specific molecular shapes under experimental conditions resembling those found in physiological media, i.e., these experimental conditions must involve an aqueous medium whose temperature and pH are close to the physiological levels and which contains none of the agents known to damage or denature biomolecules. The construction of these "intelligent" materials frequently involves the introduction of small molecules capable of specifically recognizing others into existing materials, e.g. surfaces, films, gels, beads, etc., by a wide variety of chemical modifications; alternatively molecules capable of recognition are converted to monomers and used to create the "intelligent" materials through polymerization reactions.

Advances in the ability to synthesize large numbers of peptides have made it possible to create a vast array of combinations of microenvironments within which different proteins may interact in equally. Kauvar (U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,474) has developed a chromatographic method to obtain ligands which have the required affinity specific for a selected member of an array of analytes by providing maximal diversity in the choice of these ligands. A key to this technology is the use of a flow-through 96-well plate compatible for assaying large numbers of parallel samples. Their short peptide-based ligands as paratope analogs (or "paralogs") contain an N-terminal amino acid spacer used for coupling to the sorbent. The C-terminal is capped with an amide group. Diversity is then created with the use of hydrophobic amino acids, enantiomeric amino acids, positively charged, negatively charged, and neutral (hydrophilic) residues, as well as intra-chain cyclization via the formation of disulfide bonds between cysteine residues. Protein is then loaded onto each column in the sorbent plate, and the proteins that are bound to the chromatographic sorbents are eluted, then collected into a second pretreated microplate (Benedek, K. et al. J. Chromatography 1992, 627, 51-61). Sets of paralogs are constructed by systematically varying five independent parameters drawn from protein structure literature: 1. a hydrophobic index; 2. an isoelectric point derived from overall charge by averaging the pKa values of the ionizable side chains in solution at pH 7; 3. a hydrophobic moment; 4. an analogous lateral dipole moment; 5. a corrugation factor, defined as the measure of the scattering in the distribution of bulky side chains along the helical backbone (see Villar, H. O. & Kauvar, L. M. FEBS Letters 1994, 349, 125-130) and to defined reproducible patterns of cross-reaction which represent distinctive spectra of the primary antigen and its analogs using an immunoassay of molecular analogs against panels of antibodies (Cheung, P. Y. K., et al. Analytica Chimica Acta 1993, 283, 181-192)

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention pertains to the logical layout, construction and testing of arrays of chemical compound for one of a variety of applications, in which the desired properties of the compound can be measured and correlated to specific ordered changes in the fragments use to construct them. The array is ordered in such a fashion as to expedite assembly, to maximize the informational content derived from the testing and to facilitate the rapid extraction of that data from the testing process. This method has great utility in accelerating the development of compounds have the optimal properties for the desired application.

The arrays are constructed from logically ordered and arranged sub-arrays of compounds. Each sub-array consists of spatially addressable sets of structurally related individual chemical compounds, ranging in number from one to 10.sup.12 and possessing the following properties: (1) a common structural scaffold element referred to as a "molecular core" and (2) a variable structural diversity element referred to as a fragment, in such a manner that the variation between any two compounds within a given sub-array consists only of either zero (0) or one (1) change in a fragment. These arrays may in turn be arranged in such a manner to form higher order arrays consisting of sets of arrays and tested to provide information regarding the optimum structural features available for the application.

The sub-arrays are arranged in such a manner that the direct comparisons of compounds automatically yields information regarding the effect known fragments have on a desired application, as well as on the effect on changes in physical and reactive properties. As provided by simple set theory for any number of independently variable structural diversity elements ea, there exists n logical higher order array arrangements, such that relational information on the effect of variation of each of the n structural diversity elements can be obtained in a similar manner by comparison of testing data from the relative addresses in appropriately arranged sub-arrays.

An application of this invention is the rapid determination and optimization of desired biological or physical activity. An array is screened and the optimum candidate is chosen. This process can be continued in n dimensions to provide an absolute structure activity relationship ("SAR") picture of the candidate and selection in speeded by the rapid modular synthesis of arrays for use in testing. Thus in one light the invention is the most powerful tool to date for the rapid synthesis, screening and testing of compounds for IND candidacy. This method is facilitated by virtue of selecting fragments based solely upon their ability to react and participate in the process of assembly.

These arrays may be assembled to form a "super array" for exhaustive testing. This approach provides a large scale view over different structures, functionalities and spatial arrangements for exploring biological activity.

The physical construction of the array also permits the logical and rapid analysis of synthetic results for the assurance of purity and quality. By testing a series of loci within any given sub-array, it becomes possible to determine the efficacy of construction of that core, and eliminate those fragments (i.e., process development within the assembly) which do not provide satisfactory results. This system, therefore possesses the ability to learn the utility of given reagents from previous results, and either delete them from further use or alter general conditions for their efficient incorporation into the array. Thus, both positive and negative results are of value in the ultimate construction of the array, and there is no ambiguity in regards to the inclusion or exclusion of fragments.

A further application of this invention is the facilitation of the optimal analyte or epitope binding ligand for attachment to a chromatographic support for separation or purification applications. A further application of this invention pertains to the ability to construct materials in a modular fashion, so as to facilitate their selection for such properties as strength, stability, reactivity or any other desired physical property. Whereas many methods rely upon logical choice for fragment candidates in such efforts, this method provides for the construction and testing of all candidates, thereby eliminating any compromises which traditional methods make based on the limits of time, manpower, and cost. By the screening of all possible synthetic variations the selection of the optimal candidate is a matter of data and not chemical intuition. The desired affinity can be rapidly optimized and directly correlated and attributed to the singular change made within a given sub-array. Therefore the selection of a ligand is no longer a random, intuitive process, but one of complete confidence providing exhaustive data (cf. Kauvar, L. M. U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,474).

Furthermore the invention provides for the development of seamless technology between planning, logistical development, execution of assembly in either an arrayed or subarrayed manner, quality analysis, packaging, distribution, testing, interpretation and iteration. The invention provides for the integrated design and delivery of a unified chemical discovery system, which by application of logic and implementation of information management, has been heretofore unknown. The invention provides for the occupation of all possible spatial addresses and therefore allows for complete analysis of desired properties. This concept can be extended toward the design and manufacture of appropriate hardware and software to support the integrated aspect of this modular construction.

The logically arranged arrays of the present invention are fundamentally different from all known prior art. Testing of these arrays automatically results in the generation of complete relational structural information such that a positive result provides: (1) information on a compound within any given spatial address; (2) simultaneous juxtaposition of this information upon a set of systematically structural congeners; (3) the ability to extract relational structural information from negative results in the presence of positive results.

All known prior art is universally directed toward the maximization of structural diversity. By definition this has excluded the acquisition of maximal data. In these cases, the relationship between individual structural variations and any resulting changes in a measurable property of the compounds can not be directly obtained from the testing results. The process of obtaining a compound having a desired physical property using methods of the prior art, while guided by intuition, is a random statistical process at best. Thus a positive result is not designed to give any additional information about the relationship between a specific structural modification and the corresponding change in the desired property, and a negative result can not provide any information at all. Methods in the prior art universally require extensive further experimentation to elucidate any relational information in a process which is costly, time consuming and one in which success is difficult to predict.

These arrays may be constructed from a wide variety of molecular cores, several examples of which are shown below. The criteria for core candidates are that the scaffold a) present attachment points for at least two structural diversity elements; b) is able to present these structural diversity elements in controlled, varying spatial arrangements; c) can be constructed in a rapid concerted fashion.

In general the molecular cores are linear, branched or cyclic organic compounds. In particular, the molecular cores comprise a chemical molecule having at least three carbon atoms and at least two sites on the molecule capable of undergoing a reaction to change the structure, usually by the addition of other molecules to a site capable of reacting to form or attach a structural diversity element.

One example of a molecular core is an aminimide molecule. This is a technology which has been previously described. ##STR3## These compounds may be synthesized in a number of ways, from the reaction of an epoxide, an ester, and a hydrazine, as well as alkylation of a hydrazide, as shown below. ##STR4##

An example of a scaffold capable of forming a molecular core of an oxazolone molecule. Methylidene amides are formed from the sequential reaction of aldehydes, then amines with oxazolones. These compounds and their congeners may be in turn transformed into imidazolones: ##STR5## These compounds and their methods of manufacture are described in PCT Patent Appl. PCT/US93/12591.

Sulfonylaminimides and phosphonylaminimides are still further examples of molecular cores which can be constructed in an analogous manner as their carbon-based counterparts, with the exception of sulfonate esters not participating in the reaction of an epoxide and hydrazine in the desired manner. ##STR6##

While the aminimide, oxazolone, sulphonylaminimide, and phosphonylaminimide are several examples of the concept of a molecular core, other molecular cores are possible according to the teachings of this invention. Further examples of possible molecular cores include, but are not limited to: alkaloids, quinolines, isoquinolines, benzimidazoles, benzothiazoles, purines, pyrimidines, thiazolidines, imidazopyrazinones, oxazolopyridines, pyrroles, pyrrolidines, imidazolidones, quinolones, amino acids, macrolides, penems, saccharides, xanthins, benzothiadiazine, anthracyclines, dibenzocycloheptadienes, inositols, porphyrins, corrins, and carboskeletons presenting geometric solids (e.g., dodecahedrane).

Diels-Alder reactions, Darzens glycidic ester condensations, Simmons-Smith cyclopropanations, rhodium catalyzed carbene additions, Ugi and Passerini reactions may all be done in such a manner, as to construct these arrays as described above. The application of this technology is facile and the format in which it is constructed is amenable to most organic transformations and reaction sequences.

The structural diversity elements may be the same or different, may be of a variety of structures and may differ markedly in their physical or functional properties, or may be the same; they may also be chiral or symmetric or from a compound which is chiral or symmetric. The structural diversity elements are preferably selected from:

1) amino acid derivatives of the form (AA).sub.n, which would include, for example, natural and synthetic amino acid residues (n=1) including all of the naturally occurring alpha amino acids, especially alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine; the naturally occurring disubstituted amino acids, such as amino isobutyric acid, and isovaline, etc.; a variety of synthetic amino acid residues, including alpha-disubstituted variants, species with olefinic substitution at the alpha position, species having derivatives, variants or mimetics of the naturally occurring side chains; N-substituted glycine residues; natural and synthetic species known to functionally mimic amino acid residues, such as statine, bestatin, etc. Peptides (n=2-30) constructed from the amino acids listed above, such as angiotensinogen and its family of physiologically important angiotensin hydrolysis products, as well as derivatives, variants and mimetics made from various combinations and permutations of all the natural and synthetic residues listed above. Polypeptides (n=31-70), such as big endothelin, pancreastatin, human growth hormone releasing factor and human pancreatic polypeptide.

The following experimentals are meant to exemplify but one embodiment of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention thereto.

EXAMPLES

A 10,240-component array is synthesized according to the teaching of the invention, from eight oxazolones (Building Block A), 32 aldehydes (Building Block B), and 40 amines (Building Block C). These compounds are illustrated in Tables 1-3.

AN 1001 Protocol

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) solutions of the building blocks are prepared according to the protocols generated on the spread sheets entitled "AN 1001 SOLUTION PROTOCOLS. CALCULATIONS, AND BUILDING BLOCK SELECTION". The Building Block solutions are 250 mM in "A", 250 mM in "B", and 500 mM in "C". Sufficient volumes of each solution are prepared to allow for the production of one row of reaction plates (Px, where x=1-128 for AN 1001). A reaction plate contains 80 spatial addresses each (8.times.10) and a row contains 16 reaction plates. The entire array consists of 8 rows of these reaction plates which are recycled 16 at a time to complete production of the array. The initial cycle's first operator is spatial delivery of 200 .mu.l (1 eq., 50 .mu.moles) of the "A" building block solution according to the spread sheet entitled "AN 1001 SPATIAL LAYOUT, "A" BUILDING BLOCKS" starting at P1 and ending at P16. The second operator is spatial delivery of 200 .mu.l (1 eq., 50 .mu.moles) of the "B" Building Blocks to the same reaction plates according to the spread sheet entitled "AN 1001 SPATIAL LAYOUT, "B" BUILDING BLOCKS." The third operator is addition to the same reaction plates of 50 .mu.L of a I M (1 eq., 50 .mu.moles) solution of triethylamine in THF to all the spatial addresses that "A" and "B" building Blocks were added. The forth operator is placement of the reaction blocks on an agitator at 60 degrees centigrade for 1.5 hrs. The fifth operator is spatial addition of 100 .mu.l (1 eq., 50 .mu.moles) of the "C" building, block solutions according to the spread sheet entitled "AN 1001 SPATIAL LAYOUT, "C" BUILDING BLOCKS." The sixth operator is addition of 200 .mu.L of THF to all the spatial addresses in the row or cycle. The seventh operator allows the reaction plates to stand at 25 decrees centigrade for 16 hrs. enabling evaporation of THF and completion of the synthesis of the molecular constructs. The following operators are then applied to distribute and reformat the molecular constructs for delivery and quality control. Heat the reaction plates to 60 degrees centigrade for 10 minutes and add 400 .mu.l of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to dissolve the molecular constructs (operator 8). Remove the solution from the reaction plates and place in a plastic microtiter plates in a special manner (operator 9). Specially wash the reaction plates (each address) with 4 times 325 .mu.L of DMSO and place in the same microtiter plates (operator 10). This affords 29.4 mM solutions of the molecular constructs in DMSO ready for further spacial distribution. Remove a 10 .mu.L aliquot following a unique address pattern layout from each microtiter plate for quality control (operator 11). Specially reformat these aliquots, dilute with 300 .mu.L of acetonitrile and subject these samples to analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry for quality control of the molecular constructs in the each microtiter plate (operator 12). The above cycles and operators are repeated 7 more times to finish production and quality controlled validation of the array, AN 1001.

FIG. 1 is a graphic representation of the array vertex to illustrate how the building blocks are combined to prepare the compounds in the array, while FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the process sequence used to form the compounds in the array and to validate their locations. An expanded view of a single reaction plate layout or template for the array is shown in Table 4.
