Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Japanese term or phrase: シン異性体
Maybe some who knows more about pharmaceuticals/science than me can enlighten me. I know 異性体 is isomer. But what about a シン in front of it? My first reaction was "new." But I've also come across "syn." As in "syn isomers." Any help would be appreciated.

syn isomer
Explanation:
Tim - I believe you're right and this is "syn isomer" (cf. anit isomer).
Hopefully your context will give you a better idea as to whether this is correct.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxime
Oximes exist as two stereoisomers: a **syn isomer** and an anti isomer. Aldoximes, except for aromatic aldoximes, exist only as a **syn isomer**, while ketoximes can be separated almost completely and obtained as a **syn isomer** and an anti isomer.

(types of) thin isomers


Explanation:
TimG,

Here's a website talking about thin isomers.

http://www.google.co.th/search?hl=en&q=thin isomers&meta=

There are references on other websites regarding thin isomers.
I deduce シン as the the katakana version of "thin."
Hope that helps.
