Abstract
Methods of preparing combinatorial libraries of mercapto (thiol) compounds them and compositions obtained therefrom are disclosed. The compounds are synthesized on a solid support. Following synthesis, the compounds are optionally cleaved from the support. One such method of synthesis involves attack of an S-protected nucleophile on a resin functionalized with a leaving group. The invention also provides for screening the mercapto compounds for bioactive compounds; in particular, for inhibitors of MMPs.
