The design of a suitable library is an essential prerequisite to establish a fragment-based screening capability. Several pharmaceutical companies have described their approaches to establishing fragment libraries; however there are few detailed reports of both design and analysis of performance for a fragment library maintained in an academic setting. Here we report our efforts towards the design of a fragment library for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based screening, demonstrate the performance of the library through analysis of 14 screens, and present a comparison to previously reported fragment libraries.
