D-Methamphetamine Molecular Model Kit
D-Methamphetamine (crystal meth) is a relatively simple compound but is biologically very active
and highly addictive. However, its optical isomer L-methamphetamine is much less active and is used in Vick's Vapor inhalers.
It is euphemistically labelled as: "levmetamfetamine". This is a good example of how chirality can affect the biological activity of a molecule.
For a very good explanation of this see the molecule
of the day. This link was valid when added on 2007.11.29.
You can also build the methamphetamine model with our Ultimate Student Chemistry Molecular Model Set™,
