In the 15 years since their first description, the conceptual and technical approaches that encompass combinatorial chemistry have gained wide acceptance across virtually all scientific disciplines. More than 1000 articles have been published on the subject, including numerous books and journals, and a range of “combichem” symposia are held each year. Also, college courses have been introduced on the subject, and Internet sites are available (www. 5z. com is one of the most complete). The journal Science recognized combinatorial chemistry as one of nine breakthroughs in scientific research for 1998, 1 and a unique perspective on the history of this growing field was recently presented. 2The emphasis in this Perspective will be on the power of combinatorial chemistry, more specifically mixturebased libraries, to accelerate chemical information acquisition for basic research and drug discovery. While a number of innovative approaches have been presented, the majority of combinatorial chemistry programs still prefer the time-tested but slow and expensive preparation of large numbers of individual compounds by parallel synthesis methods using either solidor solution-phase approaches. In contrast, the synthesis and screening of combinatorial libraries made up of mixtures of compounds, which was one of the first combinatorial approaches presented, is still underutilized and often regarded with skepticism. This Perspective illustrates the inherent strengths of mixture-based
