The quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol. Why do the two enantiomers have such radically different bioactivity?
(a) assign R or S configuration to each chiral center,
(b) Which compound are enantiomers?
(c) Which compounds are diastereomers?
A well known non steroidal anti inflammation drug NSAID exists in two sterochemical forms. Only one is biologically active. Below is the structure of the biological active form. Identify the chiral center and determine if it is the R- or S- stereoisomer.
