This "handedness" of the molecule (its chirality) can determine how it interacts with biological systems like the human body. In the 1950s, the chiral drug thalidomide was given to pregnant women ...

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) say they have invented a new technique for constructing chiral drug molecules, whose structural complexity allows them to have mirror-image ...

Understanding how molecular arrangements within crystals influence their thermal behavior is a fundamental question in ...

Chiral molecules are those whose structural complexity allows them to have mirror-image, "left-handed" and "right-handed" forms. For drug molecules, usually only one of those forms works - the ...

A new technique has been invented for constructing chiral drug molecules, report scientists. Chiral molecules are those whose structural complexity allows them to have mirror-image, "left-handed ...

Emergence of chirality in drug development. One of the main features of the living world is its chirality 14,16,17 (). CHIRAL CENTRES are common in the amino-acid and carbohydrate building blocks ...

Most modern medicines and drugs are chiral and are marketed as racemates (equal mixtures of enantiomers), which in some cases can have unwanted consequences, Chanda says.

From 2001 to 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved 9 single-enantiomer drugs with racemic precursors. None showed pre-approval evidence of improved efficacy over the racemic precursor.
