Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

CYP2E1 and CYP2D6 in Anti-Tuberculosis Drug-Induced Liver Injury: Mechanisms, Epigenetic Regulation, and Translational Implications. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a significant global health issue, with anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced liver injury (ATDILI) representing the most frequent and severe adverse event associated with first‐line therapy. Despite extensive investigation, the mechanistic basis of ATDILI remains incompletely understood.
