Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The human body has the heart, which is Levo, and the gastrointestinal tract, with the liver in the Dextro position. The carbohydrates in our food are Dextro, and the amino acids in our food are Levo; hence, the isomers of compounds taken by humans may be harmful or ineffective. As a result, we will investigate some drugs in which one of its isomers is effective while the other is ineffective, such as Levo and Dextro-Ethambutol, Levo and Dextro-Dopa, Levo and Dextro-Amphetamine, Dextro and Levo-Rabeprazole, Cis and Trans-Platin, R and S-Hexobarbital, R and S-Fluoxetine. It may be that each isomer has one pharmacological difference from the other isomer, e.g., quinine and quinidine, and R and S-propafenone.
