High-throughput organic synthesis of peptide mimetics

This article is a subjective review of the literature from 1999 to March 2001. It seeks to highlight current progress in the high-throughput synthesis of peptide mimetics. The review is loosely classified into sections based on the type of secondary structural feature which is being mimicked (reverse turn, beta-strand, peptide surrogates) or a common motif. The examples chosen have demonstrated the ability to produce a large number of compounds rapidly or, in our opinion, the method could produce large numbers of compounds if desired.
