Abstract
2-Deoxystreptamine is an aminocyclitol whose structural stability and abundant functionality make it an attractive scaffold for the combinatorial generation of small molecules. The ability to selectively functionalize the various positions of 2-deoxystreptamine with an almost infinite number of different groups ensures that the libraries so generated will be both spatially and functionally diverse. These compounds can then be screened for biological activity to afford lead compounds for pharmaceutical programs. Additionally, biological ligand mimics based on 2-deoxystreptamine can be readily appended, either directly or through a tether, to solid surfaces or incorporated covalently into gels to afford novel materials useful in separation science.
