CSD structure QATXOB - found to be a conglomerate crystal structure which has spontaneously enriched chirality on crystallization, making it useful to medicinal chemists as a starting material for chiral drugs.

Caption

An example of the 1,800 medically relevant crystal structures in the CSD that were identified as conglomerates. These structures have spontaneously enriched chirality on crystallization, presenting more starting materials that medicinal chemists could use in drug design.
