“…these interactions occur in an asymmetric fashion. Keeping this in mind, it seems obvious that artificial drugs have to be chiral to be integrated correctly in the vast and complex game of molecular interactions of living systems [5]. In fact, it has been demonstrated that in many cases, while they behave similarly in a symmetric environment, two enantiomers of the same molecule have different effects in biological systems [6].…”

Comparison of cumulative urinary excretion of metabolites for the (Roth & Kleemann, 1982;Simonyi, 1984). In spite of the widespread therapeutic use of racemates data on the activity and disposition of the enantiomers are sparse.…”

“…Current awareness of the different actions that may be exerted by the two enantiomers of a chiral substance provided with biological activity has prompted an increasing interest in methods to characterize their stereochemistry, i.e., to determine the enantiomeric composition and the absolute configuration of the single enantiomers. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] As far as the enantiomeric composition is concerned, separation methodologies represent the most reliable choice. In particular, HPLC on chiral stationary phases had a tremendous impact in the field, and its application incredibly increased, as well as the use of capillary electrophoresis.…”

“…In particular, HPLC on chiral stationary phases had a tremendous impact in the field, and its application incredibly increased, as well as the use of capillary electrophoresis. [1][2][3][4] A complete stereochemical characterization of a chiral drug can be reliably obtained by coupling the HPLC technique on chiral stationary phases with a detection system based on the measurement of the chiroptical properties (optical rotation or circular dichroism, CD). [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] When the separation has been obtained the use of CD, or a polarimeter, as a detection system allows determination of the stereochemistry of each eluate working at a single wavelength.…”
