                 To Purchase Shares of the Preferred Stock of

                      3-DIMENSIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

          originally Dated as of March 7, 1994 (the "Effective Date")
                         Re-Issued as of July 21, 1998


     WHEREAS, 3-Dimensional Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company") has entered into this Warrant Agreement dated as of March 7, 1994,
with Gregory Stento (the "Warrantholder"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to grant to Warrantholder, the right to
purchase shares of its Series A Preferred Stock;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the Company and Warrantholder agree as follows:

1.   GRANT OF THE RIGHT TO PURCHASE PREFERRED STOCK.
     ----------------------------------------------

     The Company hereby grants to the Warrantholder, and the Warrantholder is
entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to
subscribe to and purchase, from the Company, 17,935 fully paid and nonassessable
shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") at a
purchase price of $1.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The number and
purchase price of such shares are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8
hereof.

2.   TERM OF THE WARRANT AGREEMENT.
     -----------------------------

     Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant Agreement
and the right to purchase Preferred Stock as granted herein shall commence on
the Effective Date and shall be
<PAGE>

exercisable for a period of (i) ten (10) years or (ii) five (5) years from the
effective date of the Company's initial public offering, whichever is longer.

3.   ERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
     -----------------------------

     The purchase rights set forth in this Warrant Agreement are exercisable by
the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior
to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2 above, by tendering to the
Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit I (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly completed and executed. Promptly
upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the purchase price in
accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than twenty-one
(21) days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate
for the number of shares of Preferred Stock purchased and shall execute the
Notice of Exercise indicating the number of shares which remain subject to
future purchases, if any.

     The Exercise Price may be paid at the Warrantholder's election either (i)
by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of Warrants (,Net Issuance') as
determined below. If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the
company will issue Preferred Stock in accordance with the following formula:

          X    =    Y(A-B)
                    ------
                       A

Where:    X    =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the
                    Warrantholder.

          Y    =    the number of shares of Preferred Stock requested to be
                    exercised under this Warrant Agreement.

          A    =    the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock.

          B    =    the Exercise Price.

     As used herein, current fair market value of Common Stock shall mean with
respect to each share of Common Stock:

          (i)    if the exercise is in connection with an initial public
          offering, and if the Company's Registration Statement relating to such
          public offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the
          initial "Price to Public" specified in the final prospectus with
          respect to the offering;

          (ii)   if this warrant is exercised after, and not in connection with
          the Company's initial public offering, and:

                    (a)  if traded on a securities exchange, the fair market
                    value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing
                    prices on the

                                       2
<PAGE>

                    principal securities exchange over twenty-one (21) day
                    period ending three days before the day the current fair
                    market value of the securities is being determined; or

                    (b) if actively traded over-the-counter, the fair market
                    value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid
                    and asked prices quoted on the NASDAQ system (or similar
                    system) over the twenty-one (21) day period ending three
                    days before the day the current fair market value of the
                    securities is being determined;

          (iii)  if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities
          exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System or the over-the-counter
          market, the current fair market value of Common Stock shall be the
          highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing
          buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock
          sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued shares, as
          determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless the Company
          shall become subject to a merger, acquisition or other consolidation
          pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving party, in which
          case the fair market value of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the
          value received by the holders of the Company's Preferred Stock on a
          common equivalent basis pursuant to such merger or acquisition.

     Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall
promptly issue an Amended Warrant Agreement representing the remaining number of
shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended
Warrant Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but
not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

4.   RESERVATION OF SHARES.
     ---------------------

     (a) Authorization and Reservation of Shares. During the term of this
         ---------------------------------------
Warrant Agreement,, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a
sufficient number of shares of its Preferred Stock to provide for the exercise
of the rights to purchase Preferred Stock as provided for herein.

     (b)  Registration or Listing. If any shares of Preferred Stock required to
          -----------------------
be reserved hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any Federal or State law (other than any registration under the
1933 Act, as then in effect, or any similar Federal statute then enforced, or
any state securities law, required by reason of any transfer involved in such
conversion) , or listing on any domestic securities exchange, before such shares
may be issued upon conversion, the Company will, at its expense and as
expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly
registered, listed or approved for listing on such domestic securities exchange,
as the case may be.

5.   NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
     -----------------------------

                                       3
<PAGE>

     No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be
issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares
the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise
Price then in effect.

6.   NO RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDER.
     ------------------------

     This Warrant Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting
rights, the right to receive cash dividends or other rights as a shareholder of
the Company prior to the exercise of the Warrant.

7.   WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
     ----------------------

     The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the
registered holder of this Warrant Agreement.

8.   ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
     -----------------

     The purchase price per share and the number of shares of Preferred Stock
purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

     (a)  Merger and Sale of Assets. If at any time there shall be a capital
          -------------------------
reorganization of the shares of the Company's Preferred Stock (other than a
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise
provided for herein), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
another corporation when the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the
sale of all or substantially all of the Company's properties and assets to any
other person (hereinafter referred to as a "Merger Event"), then, as a part of
such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder
shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the
number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities of the successor
corporation resulting from such Merger Event, equivalent in value to that which
would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately
prior to the Merger Event. In any such case appropriate adjustment (as
determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors) shall be made in
the application of the provisions of this Warrant Agreement with respect to the
rights and interest of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that
the provisions of this Warrant Agreement (including adjustments of the Exercise
Price and number of shares of Preferred Stock purchasable) shall be applicable
to the greatest extent possible.

     (b)  Reclassification of Shares. If the Company at any time shall, by
          --------------------------
combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or
otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
Warrant Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any
other class or classes, this Warrant Agreement shall thereafter represent the
right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable
as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject
to the purchase rights under this Warrant Agreement immediately prior to such
combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     (c)  Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall
          ------------------------------------
combine or subdivide its Preferred Stock, the Exercise Price shall be
proportionately decreased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately
increased in the case of a combination.

     (d)  Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time shall pay a dividend
          ---------------
payable in, or make any other distribution (except any distribution specifically
provided for in the foregoing subsections (a) or (b)) of the Company's stock,
then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the record date of
such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the
Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction (i)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the Company's
stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (ii)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of all shares of the
Company's stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution. The
Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price
resulting from such adjustment, the number of shares of Preferred Stock
(calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise
Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of
Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof immediately prior to such
adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made for
a dividend payable in the Company's Common Stock if adjustment hereunder would
compound an adjustment made upon conversion of the Preferred Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant into Common Stock, which would result in double
adjustment for a single Common Stock dividend.

     (e)  Antidilution Rights; Notice of Stock Issuance. Additional antidilution
          ---------------------------------------------
rights applicable to the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder are as set forth
in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended through the
Effective Date, a true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
III(the "Charter"). The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with
any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter. The Company
shall provide Warrantholder with prior written notice of any issuance of its
stock or other equity security to Occur after the Effective Date of this
Warrant, other than Excluded Stock, as defined in the Charter, which notice
shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security is to be sold, (b)
the number of shares to be issued, and (c) such other information as necessary
for Warrantholder to determine if a dilutive event has occurred.

     (f)  Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the company shall declare any dividend
          ---------------------
or distribution upon its stock, whether in cash (except for regular cash
dividends as set forth in the terms of the Preferred Stock Section 4 A(l)(d) of
the Charter), property, stock or other securities; (ii) the Company shall offer
for subscription prorata to the holders of any class of its Preferred or other
convertible stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights;
(iii) there shall be any Merger Event; or (iv) there shall be any voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in
connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder:
(A) at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend,
distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in
respect of such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and (B) in
the case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding

                                       5
<PAGE>

up, at least twenty (20) days' prior written notice of the date when the same
shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Preferred Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up) . In the case of a public offering, the Company shall give
Warrantholder at least twenty (20) days written notice prior to the effective
date thereof.

     Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the
event requiring the adjustment, (ii) the amount of the adjustment, (iii) the
method by which such adjustment was calculated, (iv) the Exercise Price, and (V)
the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such
adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed
to the Warrantholder, at the address as shown on the books of the Company.

     (g)  Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice required by
          -------------
subsection (f) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the
applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder. The notice period shall begin
on the date Warrantholder actually receives a written notice containing all the
information specified above.

10.  REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
     --------------------------------------------------

     This Warrant Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance
upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:

     (a)  Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Preferred Stock or the
          ------------------
Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholder's rights contained
herein and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock will
be acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of
any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or
engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a
registration or exemption.

     (b)  Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Preferred
          -------------
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock are not registered under the 1933 Act or
qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance
contemplated by this Warrant Agreement will be exempt from the registration and
qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company'3 reliance on
such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section
10.

     Disposition of Warrantholder's Rights. In no event will the Warrantholder
     -------------------------------------
make a disposition of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred
Stock issuable upon exercise of such rights unless and until (i) it shall have
notified the Company of the proposed disposition, and (ii) if requested by the
Company, it shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel (which
counsel may either be inside or outside counsel to the Warrantholder)
satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that (A) appropriate
action necessary for compliance with the 1933 Act has been taken, or (B) an
exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act is available.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions imposed upon the transferability
of any of its rights to acquire Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock issuable on
the exercise of such rights of or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock do not apply to transfers from the beneficial owner of any
of the aforementioned securities to its nominee or from such nominee to its
beneficial owner, and shall terminate as to any particular share of Preferred
Stock or Common Stock when (1) such security shall have been effectively
registered under the 1933 Act and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with
such registration or (2) such security shall have been sold without registration
in compliance with Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or (3) a letter shall have been
issued to the Warrantholder at its request by the staff of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or a ruling shall have been issued to the Warrantholder at
its request by such Commission stating that no action shall be recommended by
such staff or taken by such Commission, as the case may be, if such security is
transferred without registration under the 1933 Act in accordance with the
conditions set forth in such letter or ruling and such letter or ruling
specifies that-; no subsequent restrictions on transfer are required. Whenever
the restrictions imposed hereunder shall terminate, as hereinabove

                                       8
<PAGE>

provided, the Warrantholder or holder of a share of Preferred Stock or Common
Stock then outstanding as to which such restrictions have terminated shall be
entitled to receive from the Company, without expense to such holder, one or
more new certificates for the Warrant or for such shares of Preferred Stock or
Common Stock not bearing any restrictive legend.

     (c)  Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience
          --------------
in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its
investment.

     (d)  Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if the
          -----------------------
Company does not register with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to Section 12 of the 1934 Act, or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d), of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") , or if a registration
statement covering the securities under the 1933 Act is not in effect when it
desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Preferred Stock pursuant to this
Warrant Agreement, or (ii) the Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the
right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite
period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of its rights of the
Warrantholder to purchase Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock which might be made
by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the 1933 Act may be made only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

11.  TRANSFERS. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in Section 10
     ---------
hereof, this Warrant Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable in
whole or in part by the Warrantholder and any successor transferee, provided,
however, in no event shall the number of transfers of the rights and interests
