Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis

Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different pharmacological and toxicological profiles. Although the importance of stereochemistry in drug efficacy is well established, its role in drug metabolism and disposition remains comparatively underexplored, despite the inherently stereoselective nature of drug metabolizing enzymes. Given the high prevalence of chiral drugs in clinical use and among newly approved drugs, a systematic evaluation of s
