Living systems are mainly composed and regulated by compounds in four biochemical classes and their polymers—nucleotides, carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. Early combinatorial chemistry libraries consisted of peptides. The present report describes the general bioactivity and biophysical properties of a combinatorial chemical library that used glyco, nucleotidyl, and lipid building blocks. The resulting chimeric combinatorial library of 361 compounds had a confirmed cumulative hit rate of 0.16%, which is 8-fold higher than a commonly claimed industrial benchmark of 0.02%. It produced 7 structurally confirmed hits for a third of 12 proprietary drug discovery projects, and these comprised a variety of molecular targets. Diversity analyses demonstrated that despite the small number of compounds, a wider range of diversity space was covered by this library of biochemical chimeras than by a branched tripeptide library of the same size and similar generic formula.
