The present invention relates to a method of forming a dynamic combinatorial library of compounds which are potentially capable of binding to a target, which method comprises
i) selecting one first set of molecules which molecules each carry at least one hydroxylamine function;
ii) selecting at least one further set of molecules which molecules carry at least one carbonyl function;
iii) reacting the two sets of molecules with each other and at least temporarily in the presence of the target, under conditions where a reversible formation of nitrone functions between the hydroxylamine function and the carbonyl function on the molecules forming each of the sets occurs.
Pharmaceutically active compounds which are formed when the library is generated can be identified by analysing the library, preferably by comparing the amounts of the compounds formed in the presence of the target and in the absence of the target.
