Metabolism of designer drugs of abuse: an updated review.

abstract：:Molecules exist as three dimensional structures. Therefore they can exist in symmetrical and asymmetrical forms. Molecules with an asymmetric centre are chiral. If the molecule and its mirror image are non-superimposable, the relationship between the two molecules is enantiomeric and the two stereoisomers are enantiom...
