Chirality and Biological Activity

Abstract: The relationship between chirality and biological activity has been of increasing importance to the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical areas as evidenced by a growing number of chiral drugs that have been developed within the last two decades. This chapter covers several areas of importance in the design and synthesis of novel small molecule chiral drugs for medicinal chemists. The focus of this chapter is to provide an overview of the impact of chirality in medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, a… Show more

According to general systematic scheme proposed by Martin and coworkers [14,15] [N-P-L ( n A m B) coding system, in which N stands for the number of valence electrons associated formally with a central phosphorus atom and L shows the number of ligands (A and B stand for the bonding element)]-this group should be considered as the family of 10-P-5 derivatives.…”

Their structure and reactivity are dominated by the weak three-center-four-electron (3c-4e) bond.…”
