The enantiomer of this compound can exhibit different pharmacological effects.
A chiral column was used to separate the enantiomers.
ジアステレオマー (diastereomer) refers to stereoisomers that are not mirror images, unlike 鏡像体 which are mirror-image isomers.
Compound of 鏡像 (mirror image) and 体 (body, form). The term is a direct calque of the English 'mirror image form', referring to the mirror-image relationship of enantiomers.
