ANS: answers will vary - during a synthesis, minor products are often created in addition to major ones - this will require constant purification since minor products could be very harmful - isomers are often some of the minor products and are difficult to separate since they have physical and chemical properties similar to desired products - chiral isomers can be produced and be detrimental in biological systems where chirality is often important to enzymes - administering the drug: the digestion system or the pH of the blood may destroy it – IT IS A CHALLENGE TO GET IT INTO THE CELL or INTO THE NUCLEUS IF NEEDED. - unforeseen reactions with hormones, enzymes or other cellular proteins can cause side effects from other products 32.
