    • has been credited to the modern patterns in compound characterization in drug discovery following its inception in 1981. It represents an advancement when compared to HTS as it requires minimal compound design or prior knowledge, but can yield multiple hit compounds among which promising candidates have been elected. Its typical role in drug discovery is to screen out large compound libraries into smaller clusters of predicted active compounds, enabling optimization of lead compounds by improving the biological properties (like affinity and ADMET) and building chemotypes from a nucleating site by combining fragments with optimized function
