Enantiopathy

speak

Enantiopathy refers to the phenomenon in which a patient displays a divergent response to the administration of a racemic mixture of a drug, which contains an equal proportion of two enantiomers, instead of responding uniformly to one of the enantiomers alone. This occurs when one enantiomer is pharmacologically active, while the other enantiomer is pharmacologically inactive or produces an adverse effect. As a result, enantiopathy can lead to unpredictable and varied therapeutic outcomes, making it a significant challenge in drug development and clinical practice.

Enantiornithes

speak

Enantiornithes is a group of extinct birds that lived during the Cretaceous period, around 100-65 million years ago.

This refers to the fact that the skeletons of these birds have an opposite or mirror-like arrangement of their element bones compared to modern birds.

Enantiornithine

speak

Enantiornithine is a term used in paleontology to describe an extinct group of birds that lived during the Cretaceous period, around 100 to 65 million years ago.

This refers to the fact that these birds had a unique characteristic in which their left and right sides of their skeletons were mirror images of each other, a condition known as rotational symmetry. Enantiornithines were small to medium-sized birds with distinctive beaks and clawed wings. They were likely omnivores or insectivores and lived on land and in coastal areas.
