Book Synopsis

An integrated view of chiral drugs?from concept and synthesisto pharmaceutical properties

Chirality greatly influences a drug''s biological and pharmacological properties. In an effort to achieve more predictable results from chiral drugs, the Food and Drug Administration now requires that these medicines be as pure as possible, which places great demands on drug synthesis, purification, analysis, and testing. To assist researchers in acquiring the essential knowledge to meet these rigid guidelines, Chiral Drugs focuses on three vital chiral technologies?asymmetric synthesis, biocatalytic process, and chiral resolution?to offer details on the basic concepts, key developments, and recent trends in chiral drug discovery, along with:

  • The history of chiral drugs development and industrial applications of chiral technologies

  • A section listing twenty-five approved or advanced-trial chiral drugs that lists each drug name, chemical name and properti
