The past two decades has seen explosive growth in the field of chirality as illustrated by the rapid progress in the various facets of this intriguing field. Firstly, it is the basic understanding of the importance of chirality and, secondly, the awareness of the therapeutic pitfalls due to failure to recognize chirality that have paved the way for a rejuvenated interest in the field. Needless to say that the impetus for chiral separation advancement and enhancement has been found to be the highest in the past decade and still continues to be an area of high focus. In this regard, both direct and indirect separation approaches have been instrumental in placing into literature stereoselective pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of plethora of drug racemates. Also, today, the cloud of uncertainty associated with the development of a chiral molecule is a thing of the past because the field is so evolved and numerous options are …
