Many of the drugs currently used in medical practice are racemates. The enantiomers of a racemic drug differ in pharmacodynamics and/or pharmacokinetics, thus in some cases it is preferable to develop pure enantiomers...
AIM: To study whether etodolac enantiomers have pharmacokinetic difference after oral administration. METHODS: Fourteen rats, divided into two groups randomly, were orally given S-(+)- or R-(-)-etodolac at a single do...
AIM: The present study was aimed to examine the role of endothelial nitric oxide in the relaxant response to green tea (-)epicatechin and its modulation of endothelium-mediated relaxation in the isolated rat mesenteri...
Recent literatures on enantiomer/enantiomer and enantiomer/coadministered drug interactions in pharmaco-kinetics were reviewed. The clinical significance of introducing the concept of stereoselectivity into pharma-cok...
Semiempirical PM3 and density function theory B3LYP/3-21g* calculations in vacuum and in water indicated that the 'syn' orientation was preferred in the 1:2 complex of cucurbit[8]uril with protonated 2, 6-bis(4, 5-dih...
