یک روش جدید برای جایگزینی کربن با اتم های نیتروژن می تواند منجر به داروهای بهتر شود

A new way to replace carbon with nitrogen atoms could lead to better medicines

When drugmakers want to improve on compounds they have already created, they can replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom. While effective, the techniques they use to perform this chemical swap, known as skeletal editing, have some downsides. For example, older approaches often require harsh chemicals or only work on specific types of molecules.
