Combinatorial synthesis and screening of a chemical library of 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers Original Research Article

Solid-phase synthesis of a 300-member pharmacophore library of 1,4-dihydropyridines from keto ester, diketone and aldehyde building blocks on a cleavable amine polymeric support is described. Screening and serial deconvolution of the combinatorial library has resulted in identification of known and new potent calcium channel blockers.
