Isosterism and Bioisosterism

Isosteres are atoms or groups with similar size and electronic configuration, while bioisosteres produce similar biological effects. Bioisosteric replacement is used to enhance drug properties like potency, selectivity, and metabolic stability. This strategy is widely applied in medicinal chemistry to address issues like toxicity or poor pharmacokinetics. It can also help bypass patent barriers by generating novel analogs.
