Chiral separation and membrane technology have emerged as key methodologies in the efficient isolation of enantiomers from racemic mixtures, which is of paramount importance in pharmaceuticals, ...

In recent years there has also been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their growing importance in the natural products, ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging from DNA to pharmaceuticals. While chemists have long known how to separate ...

Enantiomers, or molecule pairs that are mirror images of each other, make up more than half of FDA-approved drugs in use today, including those used in treatments for cancer, neurologic diseases and ...

A C&EN article describes efforts to create artificial saliva to treat xerostomia, which radiation treatment for head and neck cancers can cause (Dec. 11/18, 2023, page 17). Cancer.net estimates nearly ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Adding organic solvents to the crystallization solution allowed the chiral inorganic compound cesium copper chloride (CsCuCl₃) to form single-handed (enantiopure) crystals. Among the water-miscible ...
