ABSTRACT

The Pharmacy degree course curriculum marks the most crucial stage of conventional pedagogy because specialized discipline-based, content-oriented courses in pharmaceutical and allied areas of knowledge are introduced at this juncture. Students reach this stage after learning chemistry for 12 years of general education, to pursue their careers in pharmaceutical sciences and other allied areas enabled by it. To say that pharmaceutical science is a domain enabled by applied chemistry is an understatement. Therefore, knowing the chirality, that is, the handedness or asymmetry of molecules and compounds, will play a crucial role in drug discovery, formulation development, and other applications.
