Stilbene oxide is a chiral molecule that exists in two enantiomeric forms (cis-stilbene oxide and trans-stilbene oxide). It is a valuable synthetic intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its synthesis often involves the epoxidation of stilbene using reagents like m-chloroperbenzoic acid. Stilbene oxide has shown potential as an anti-cancer agent, particularly in the treatment of breast cancer. However, it has also demonstrated toxicity in some studies, highlighting the need for further research to optimize its therapeutic potential. Stilbene oxide is studied extensively due to its importance in various fields including organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and environmental science. Its potential application in drug development and its role as a model system for studying enzyme kinetics and reactivity make it a fascinating subject of study.'

| Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) | 0 | 2.01 | 1 | 0 |
