Enamine introduces their new
Pharmacological Diversity Set (PDS) which is a unique alternative
to common Structural Diversity Sets (SDS). While SDS was designed
to offer maximum diversity based on chemical structures alone, PDS
has been designed to offer clustered diversity sets with
biological activity in mind. This unique set was designed by
evaluating over 3000 pharmacological activities from the
literature for each compound in our Drug-Like Collection. www.enamine.net
