Compound optimization in drug design
SwissBioIsostere is a knowledgebase that provides information on more than 4.5 million molecular substructural replacements extracted from literature and that are useful for compound optimization in drug design. It provides a tool for replacements for a single substructure (e.g. an amide group) or a particular substructure of interest (e.g. carboxylic acid vs tetrazole).
