Azaarenes are carbon-to-nitrogen transmutations
The nitrogen atom plays a critical role in drug discovery by mediating oxygen-to-oxygen transitions. An analysis of the structural diversity, substitution patterns, and Frequency of Nitrogen Heterocycles among US FDA approved pharmaceuticals revealed that nitrogen atom insertion increased oxygen-to-oxygen transition from bosentan to Macitentan. The nitrogen atom is also required for diversification of indole skeletons through nitrogen atom insertion.
