[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the structures described herein are intended to include all isomeric forms of that structure (e.g., enantiomers, diastereomers, and geometric (or conformational) forms), examples of which include the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center. Accordingly, single stereochemical isomers of the compounds of the present invention, as well as enantiomer mixtures, diastereomer mixtures, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures, are within the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all tautomers of the compounds of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.

[0045] Diastereomer mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers based on their physicochemical differences by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as chromatography and / or fractional recrystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomer mixture into a diastereomer mixture by reaction with a suitable optically active compound (e.g., a chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or moscherate), separating the diastereomers, and converting the individual diastereomers into their corresponding pure enantiomers (e.g., by hydrolysis). Alternatively, specific enantiomers of the compounds of the present invention can also be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. Furthermore, if the molecules contain basic functional groups (such as amino acids) or acidic functional groups (such as carboxylic acids), diastereomer salts can be formed with a suitable optically active acid or base, and the formed diastereomers can then be separated by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means known in the art, followed by the recovery of the pure enantiomers.

[0046] The individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the present invention may not substantially contain other isomers, for example, or may be mixed, for example, as a racemate, or with all other or other selected stereoisomers. The chiral centers in the compounds of the present invention may have an S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. Furthermore, to the extent that the compounds described herein may exist as atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls), all forms of such atropisomers are considered part of the present invention.
