Abstract

Stereochemistry has occupied a great role in the manufacture and development of pharmaceuticals. Chiral properties play an important role in the determination of pharmacological actions of the drug. In recent years, there is a considerable interest in chiral separation to isolate and examine both enantiomers. This article pro-vides an overview about the stereochemistry and its role in drugs, and also, offers approved isolation methods for enantiomeric pairs

Keywords:

Chirality, stereoisomer, enantiomer, pharmacology, chiral separation, chiral drug.
