Nanotechnology and their Applications in Chiral and Achiral Separating Mechanisms

Abstract

Stereoselective chiral compounds are associated with specific biological functions. Enantiomers exhibit considerable differences in their metabolic responses inside biological environments. Notwithstanding the recent progress in discovering medicines and pharmaceutical biotechnology, the chiral separation of certain racemic combinations remains a significant challenge, as current methods are prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for evaluating medicinal products in the early phases of global development. Numerous Nanoparticles (NP) have emerged as a focal point of research within Nanotechnology (NT), particularly in chirality, where multiple studies have documented advancements in the enantiomeric separating of different racemic combinations. The fabrication of surface-modified NP has addressed sensibility, precision, and enantioselectivity, rendering these NPs advantageous for enantiomeric detection and separation.
