Abstract
Initial results of a comparative survey of commonly used chiral drugs are presented. The survey considered the differences between drugs use d in 1982 with those in use in 1991. Two major conclusions were reache d: the use of single isomer chiral drugs had increased from 31.1% in 1 982 to 34.3% in 1991 and the proportion of synthetic single isomer chi ral drugs available in 1991 was considerably greater than in 1982.
