The Impact of Stereochemistry on Drug Development and Use

Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications #142

by Hassan Y. Aboul-Enein, Irving W. Wainer

Provides an authoritative source of practical information on stereochemistry and its impact on drug development. Unlike other books which focus on synthesis, this work explores analytical, pharmacological, and regulatory topics in dealing with the theory and practice of stereochemistry in the pharmaceutical industry today. It specifically addresses how the body metabolizes chiral molecules; the varying effects of different chiral molecules; and provides detailed evaluations of current seperation techniques. Includes regulatory information.
