A chiral switch refers to the process of developing a medication that is a specific enantiomer (one of two mirror-image forms) of a drug that has already been marketed as a racemic mixture, which contains both enantiomers. In pharmaceutical chemistry, chirality is significant because the two enantiomers of a chiral molecule can have different biological properties, including variations in efficacy, safety, metabolism, and side effects.
