“…In 1963, Merrifield introduced solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) . In the 1990s, SPPS was applied in combinatorial chemistry, , was later extended to heterocyclic chemistry, and found its application in drug discovery. , This technique is time-efficient and straightforward in comparison to the solution-phase approach. Typically, it is a multistep synthesis on resin-bound intermediates, and only after the final synthetic step, the product is released from the insoluble support, isolated, purified, and fully characterized.…”
