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.
