Polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases have been recognized as one of the most powerful ones for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separations of chiral compounds in analytical and also in preparative ...

The potential of chiral pesticides to exhibit stereoselective behavior in regards to activity, toxicity, degradation, bioaccumulation, and/or metabolism has inspired numerous studies, e.g., several works have investigated ...

Carvedilol is an antihypertensive drug available as a racemic mixture. (-)-(S)-carvedilol is responsible for the nonselective beta-blocker activity but both enantiomers present similar activity on a1-adrenergic receptor. ...

Many chiral pesticides are introduced into the environment as racemates, although their pesticidal activity is usually the result of preferential reactivity of only one enantiomer, while the other enantiomer may have toxic ...
