In nature, chiral natural products are usually produced in optically pure form-however, occasionally both enantiomers are formed. These enantiomeric natural products can arise from a single species or from different genera and/or species. Extensive research has been carried out over the years in an attempt to understand the biogenesis of naturally occurring enantiomers; however, many fascinating puzzles and stereochemical anomalies still remain.
在自然界中，手性天然产物通常以光学纯的形式产生——然而，偶尔也会形成两种对映异构体。这些对映体天然产物可以来自单一物种，也可以来自不同属和/或种。多年来，人们进行了广泛的研究，试图了解天然对映异构体的生物发生；然而，许多迷人的难题和立体化学异常仍然存在。
