High-throughput profiling of compound libraries against large panels of kinases is becoming technically feasible. In contrast to the traditional linear, target-centric approach to discovery, this approach may provide a choice of targets to pursue that is guided by the quality of lead compounds available, rather than by target biology alone, and could thereby significantly improve the productivity of kinase inhibitor discovery.
