    Thalidomidewas synthesized in West Germany in 1953 byChemie Grnenthal. It was marketed (available to patients)

    fromOctober 1, 1957 (West Germany) into the early1960's. Sold in at least 46 countries (US not included),Thalidomide was hailed as a "wonder drug" that provided a

    "safe, sound sleep". It was a sedative that was found to beeffective when given to pregnant women to combat many ofthe symptoms associated with morning sickness. No clinicaltesting was available to show that Thalidomide molecules couldcross the placental wall affecting the fetus until it was too late.

    Thalidomidewas a catastrophic drug with tragic side effects.Not only did a percentage of the population experience the

    effects of peripheral neuritis, a devastating and sometimesirreversible side effect, but Thalidomide became notoriousas the killer and disabler of thousands of babies. When

    Thalidomide was taken during pregnancy (particularly duringa specific window of time in the first trimester), it causedstartling birth malformations, and death to babies. Any partof the fetus that was in development at the time of ingestioncould be affected.

    Conclusions

  • 8/14/2019 bi ging ha lp th

    40/40

    Conclusions

    Some organic molecules possess one or more(n) stereocenters,thus several (2n) stereoisomersare possible.

    Enantiomers and diastereomers differ only inthe position of atoms in space.

    Unlike Diastereomers, Enantiomers displaythe same chemical/physical properties in anachiral environment.

    In the human body (chiral environment) twoenantiomers can be discriminated producing

    different biological responses.40
