Abstract

Small libraries of peptoid-based macro(multi)cycles were produced by applying combinatorial principles to the MiB methodology. This combinatorial approach features the incorporation of varied building blocks into the resulting macrocycles by mixing all the components in the same reaction pot. Both skeletal and appendage diversity could be generated in one shot due to the multicomponent nature of the system. HPLC and ESI-MS analyses showed a well-distributed composition of the libraries and revealed the presence of all possible macrocycles resulting from the different combinations of building blocks, especially of members with differentially substituted bridges not available by any other one-pot ­approach.
