Enantioselective Toxicity and Carcinogenesis
TLDR
In a non-chiral environment, the enantiomers of a racemate possess the same physico-chemical properties but in the biological systems they possess different activities, so the knowledge of the stereoselective metabolisms of the chiral pollutants may be useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases.Abstract:
In a non-chiral environment, the enantiomers of a racemate possess the same physico-chemical properties but in the biological systems they possess different activities. One of the enantiomers may be more toxic or carcinogenic, and, therefore, the present data available on the toxicity and carcinogenesis of the racemic mixtures of these chiral pollutants are not reliable and need modification in terms of the enantioselective toxicity and carcinogenesis. It is essential to explore the enantioselective toxicity and carcinogenesis due to the different enantiomers of the chiral pollutants. The knowledge of the stereoselective metabolisms of the chiral pollutants may be useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The enantioselective toxicity and carcinogenesis due to the chiral pesticides, pollutants and some drugs have been discussed in this review article.read more

Stereoselective uptake and degradation of (±)-o,p-DDD pesticide stereomers in water-sediment system.
TL;DR: The environmental stereoselective uptake and degradation of (±)-o,p-DDD pesticide stereomers in water-sediment system are described and are very useful to control the environmental contamination due to the chiral o, p- DDD pesticide as its two enantiomers have different ecological toxicities.

Enantioselective degradation and ecotoxicity of the chiral herbicide diclofop in three freshwater alga cultures.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the enantioselective degradation and toxicity of chiral herbicides may result in their ecotoxicological effects being difficult to predict and that specific attention should thus be paid to currently used racemic pesticides as less active or inactive enantiomers may pose higher ecological risks.
