Many drugs are chiral and their therapeutic activity depends on specific recognition of chiral biomolecules. The biological activity of enantiomers can also differ drastically in terms of toxicity and pharmacokinetics. Chiral natural biological molecules, such as nucleic acids, enzymes are targeted molecules for the development of anticancer drugs. The interest in chiral agents is logically a result of the different interaction with biomolecules leading in the end consequence to improve anticancer activity and maybe to less undesirable effects. This review outlines the effects of chirality on the efficiency of anticancer metal-based agents and potential organic drugs. A variety of up-to-date examples of structurally diverse chiral agents exhibiting different mechanisms in their antitumor activity is presented.

Convergent beam electron diffraction is a powerful technique for determining the crystal structure of a material in TEM. In this paper we have applied it to the study of the intermetallic phases in the Cu-rich end of the Cu-Zr system. These phases are highly ordered. Their composition and structure has been previously studied by microprobe and x-ray diffraction with sometimes conflicting results.The crystalline phases were obtained by annealing amorphous sputter-deposited Cu-Zr. Specimens were thinned for TEM by ion milling and observed in a Philips EM 400. Due to the large unit cells involved, a small convergence angle of diffraction was used; however, the three-dimensional lattice and symmetry information of convergent beam microdiffraction patterns is still present. The results are as follows:1) 21 at% Zr in Cu: annealed at 500°C for 5 hours. An intermetallic phase, Cu3.6Zr (21.7% Zr), space group P6/m has been proposed near this composition (2). The major phase of our annealed material was hexagonal with a point group determined as 6/m.
