“DRUG CHIRALITY is critical for therapeutic potency and efficacy, and there are over 2,500 chiral drugs. For example, only one form of dopamine is effective in treating Parkinson’s disease, the other causes granulocytopenia. Only one form of thalidomide alleviates morning sickness, while the other form causes birth defects.”
