Course Overview

The Stereochemistry Course’s syllabus layout is made with full dedication and is incorporated with the latest details about the new invention being done in the pharmaceutical industries. The course starts with providing the student with the basic information about configuration and chemistry in 3D space.

The importance of chirality in drugs is explained to the students and what is its need in the upcoming time of the health industry. The importance of chiral drugs has increased a lot in the pharmaceutical industry. This is because one enantiomer of a chiral drug can have medicinal properties and the other might be toxic to take. Therefore, chirality plays a key role in the synthesis of drugs.
