2. Outline The way it was
The revolution

Making the chemistry and biology joins
Chemical systems biology
Drug Bank and Chem Spider
Wider implications
3. The Context Medicinal chemistry provides a bridge between biology and chemistry by identifying compounds that produce biological effects
Historically, the goal has been to optimize therapeutic efficacy and avoid undesired biological effects i.e. develop new medicines
However, it is increasingly recognised that bioactive cpds can be part of the perturbation toolbox for the investigation of all types of biological processes
By advancing biological knowledge at both the molecular and systems level such investigations can lead to improved understanding of disease and new opportunities for classical medicinal chemistry
4. Acceleration of Global Medicinal Chemistry Output This includes not only ~ 30K development cpds produced over the last 20 years but also post-genomic, post-HTS, post-libraries output acceleration
Much of this is being published in med chem journals and estimates suggest global pharma/biotech patent output of at least 300K compound claims per year
Because the targetome is small we are approaching the point where nearly all tractable targets, directly or by homology, will have available chemical modulation starting points
