	Stereoisomers
		Stereoisomers always require that an additional nomenclature prefix be added to the IUPAC name in order to indicate their spatial orientation, for example, cis (Latin, meaning on this side) and trans (Latin, meaning across) in the 2-butene case.
		Stereoisomers are also observed in certain disubstituted (and higher substituted) cyclic compounds.
		As in the case of the 2-butene stereoisomers, disubstituted cycloalkane stereoisomers may be designated by nomenclature prefixes such as cis and trans.

	FDA'S POLICY STATEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW STEREOISOMERIC DRUGS
		Stereoisomers are molecules that are identical in atomic constitution and bonding, but differ in the three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms.
		Stereoisomers include not only the mirror image enantiomers, but also geometric (cis/trans) isomers and diastereoisomers (isomers of drugs with more than one chiral center that are not mirror images of one another).
		To develop a single stereoisomer from a mixture that has already been studied non-clinically, an abbreviated, appropriate pharmacology/toxicology evaluation could be conducted to allow the existing knowledge of the racemate available to the sponsor to be applied to the pure stereoisomer.

	Stereoisomers Lab
		The goal of this lesson is to explore the differences in molecular structure between stereoisomers, which are compounds that have the same molecular formula and the same atoms bonded to one another, but a different spatial arrangement between the atoms.
		Stereoisomers may differ with regard to chemical reactivity and with regard to physical properties, such as melting and boiling points, internal energies, enthalpies of combustion, and optical activities.
		In the Isomers Student Lab, the properties of stereoisomers in which groups are bonded on opposite sides of a planar double bond, such as in cis-1,2-dichloroethene (Figure 1) and trans-1,2-dichloroethene (Figure 2) are explored.

	Enumerating Stereoisomers and Tautomers
		Stereoisomers and tautomers have the same molecular graph (excluding bonds to hydrogen atoms) and the same molecular formula.
		Stereoisomers refer to compounds that differ only by the spatial arrangement of their atoms whereas tautomers are interchangeable forms involving the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons.
		Stereoisomers are important when modeling the bioselectivity of ligands to stereo-specific enzymes, optical properties of compounds, chromatographic selectivity and chemical reactions.

	Stereoisomerism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules whose atomic connectivity is the same but whose atomic arrangement in space is different.
		Enantiomers are two stereoisomers that are related to each other by a reflection: they are mirror images of each other.
		Diastereomers are stereoisomers not related through a reflection operation, they are not mirror images of each other.

	Isomerism - History, Nomenclature, Stereoisomerism, Stereoisomers, Conformers, Rotamers, Regioisomers
		Because there is an empirical component to these terms, a universally unambiguous distinction between configurational stereoisomers (sometimes simply referred to as stereoisomers) and conformational stereoisomers (sometimes simply referred to as conformations or conformers) has not emerged.
		There is a general understanding, however, that stereoisomers are geometrical forms that are distinct enough to be isolated under normal conditions, whereas conformers are geometrical forms that interconvert under the same conditions.
		With two such centers, there are four stereoisomers possible (2 geometries at the one center × 2 at the second = 4), and with three such centers there are eight stereoisomers (2 × 2 × 2 = 8).

	Stereoisomers
		There are eight stereoisomers of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentanal, a group of compounds referred to as the aldopentoses.
		As a result, two of the four possible stereoisomers of this compound are identical due to a plane of symmetry, so there are only three stereoisomeric tartaric acids.
		The nomenclature terminology and classification of stereoisomers is examined in the next two problems, followed by a question concerning the relationship of isomeric pairs.

	Effects of sphingosine stereoisomers on P-glycoprotein phosphorylation and vinblastine accumulation in ...
		To investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of multidrug resistance and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) phosphorylation, the natural isomer of sphingosine (SPH), D-erythro sphingosine (De SPH), and its three unnatural stereoisomers were synthesized.
		Treatment of MCF-7(ADR) cells with SPH stereoisomers decreased basal phosphorylation of the P-gp, suggesting inhibition of PKC-mediated phosphorylation of P-gp.
		SPH stereoisomers did not inhibit specific binding of [H-3] VLB to MCF-7(ADR) cell membranes or [3H]azidopine photoaffinity labeling of P-gp or alter P-gp ATPase activity.

		Equal inhibition of HIV replication by stereoisomers of phosphatidyl-azidothymidine.
		Glycerol-1-P and glycerol-3-P stereoisomers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylazidothymidine were synthesized and found to have equal antiretroviral activity in HIV-infected HT4-6C cells.
		It was anticipated that the glycerol-1-P isomer would be less active because of slow metabolic conversion by cellular phospholipases A and C, but the antiretroviral results suggested that the human cell line (HT4-6C) may have phospholipases capable of hydrolyzing 2,3-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-1-phospho-5'-azidothymidine (AZT).

	Ohmefentanyl and its stereoisomers: Chemistry and pharmacology - Publications - RTI International
		This review summarizes both the initial studies on mixtures of ohmefentanyl stereoisomers and some more recent studies on the eight individual stereoisomers, in particular those in which the 3-methyl and 4-propionanilide substituents on the piperidine ring have a cis relationship to each other.
		Analog studies, also on stereoisomer mixtures, have revealed that structural changes in the beta-hydroxy-beta-phenethyl portion of the molecule have considerable impact on the biological activity in the cis series while changes in the 4-propionanilide portion have smaller effects.
		Since these stereoisomers differ from each other in their absolute stereochemistries, which focuses the analysis on asymmetric structural factors and avoids confounding changes in physiochemical characteristics, they constitute a unique set of molecular probes for investigation of mu receptor mediated phenomena.

	Introduction To Stereoisomers
		If the two Chlorines had been attached to the same sp2 carbon, then that geminal isomer (See Fig 1-c) would be a constitutional isomer to both the cis and trans isomers since the Chlorine atoms on the Geminal isomer are connected to the same carbon as opposed to be connected to different carbons.
		A second type of diastereoisomer is a stereoisomer that is called a meso isomer.
		These stereoisomers come in "left handed" and "right handed" form and nature tends to favor one over the other.

	Drawing Stereoisomers
		Enantiomers are just one class of "stereoisomers," i.e., molecules in which the atoms are connected to one another in the same order (same "connectivity") but have different spatial arrangement.
		In the context of organic chemistry, the most common structural feature for a chiral molecule to have is a carbon atom bearing four different substituents, as shown in the diagram to the right.
		For any given stereoisomer, only one of the other stereoisomers will be its enantiomer; these two are an "enantiomeric pair." Stereoisomers that are not enantiomers of one another are referred to as "diastereomers." Interestingly, the presence of multiple chiral centers within a molecule does not guarantee that the molecule itself will be chiral.

	Combined HPLC-MS and HPLC-NMR On-Line Coupling for the Separation and Determination of Lutein and Zeaxanthin ...
		The determination and unambiguous identification of carotenoid stereoisomers from biological tissues, avoiding isomerization and oxidation due to the extraction process, is still a major challenge.
		Particularly, the analysis of lutein and zeaxanthin stereoisomers is of great importance, as these are the main constituents of the macula lutea, the central part of the human retina, and act as possible agents in the prevention and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
		By using HPLC-MS with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, the lutein stereoisomers can be distinguished from the zeaxanthin stereoisomers within one chromatographic run in the upper picogram range, whereas HPLC-NMR coupling allows the unequivocal identification of each stereoisomer with a concentration in the upper nanogram range.
