This book aims to guide and inspire drug researchers as they enter the 21st century. Stereochemistry is an essential dimension in pharmacology and should be understood as such by all drug researchers whatever their background. When used as probes or as medicines, stereoisomeric drugs offer invaluable pharmacological insights or innovative therapeutic strategies.
