Chiral switch:single enantiomer drugs from racemates

Over the last ten to fifteen years,most of the new chiral drugs available on the market currently have been consisting of single enantiomers,rather than the racemic mixtures.As a result of advances in the chemical technologies associated with the synthesis,separation and analysis of the individual enantiomers,the use of single enantiomers has become an area of considerable interest.Many new single…
