A fuzzy feeling : We have identified a full agonist of PPARγ, as illustrated here, in a natural‐product‐derived combinatorial compound library by virtual screening. The “fuzzy” pharmacophore concept considers receptor flexibility and provides a straightforward route to finding novel lead structure candidates with minimal experimental effort.
