Mefloquine is an important drug for prevention and treatment of malaria. It is commercially available as a racemic mixture, wherein only one enantiomer is active against malaria, while the other one causes severe psychotropic effects. By converting the drug into a compound that crystallizes as a racemizable racemic conglomerate, the deracemization of mefloquine into the desired enantiomer was achieved.
盐酸甲氟喹是一种重要的疟疾预防和治疗药物。它有消旋混合物形式的商品出售,其中只有一个对映异构体对疟疾有活性,而另一个则会产生严重的精神作用。通过将药物转化为结晶为外消旋外消旋混合物的化合物,实现了盐酸甲氟喹向所需对映异构体的去消旋化。
