Two mutually complementary, target‐directed synthetic approaches have been used to generate a class of bio‐effective molecules (inhibitors). In the first, condensation reactions were performed within the cavities of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) prepared against a known kallikrein inhibitor. In the second approach, the enzyme itself directed the assembly of small building blocks within the biologically active site (see scheme).
