University of Chicago chemists have developed a novel and cost-effective method to convert isoxazoles into pyrroles by swapping a single atom, significantly accelerating and simplifying a key step in drug discovery.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Drug Discovery.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Your drug discovery process can now move faster and cost less due to this single-atom swap technique. Deploy it to test new pyrroles that were previously too expensive or slow to make.
