Description

Green Approaches in Medicinal Chemistry for Sustainable Drug Design: Methods, Second Edition reveals how medicinal chemistry can play a direct role in addressing this issue. After providing essential context on the growth of green chemistry in relation to drug discovery, the book identifies a range of practical techniques and useful insights, revealing how medicinal chemistry techniques can be used to improve efficiency, mitigate failure, and increase the environmental benignity of the entire drug discovery process. Drawing on the knowledge of a global experts, the book encourages the growth of green medicinal chemistry, and supports medicinal chemists, drug discovery researchers, pharmacologists, and more.

This volume covers synthesis methods following green chemistry principles, contributing to sustainability by saving energy, using lesser toxic reagents/solvents/catalysts and environmentally benign sources, including plants and agricultural materials.

Key features

  • Highlights the need for the adoption of sustainable and green chemistry pathways in drug development
  • Reveals risk factors associated with the drug development process and the ways sustainable approaches can help address these factors
  • Identifies novel and cost effective green medicinal chemistry approaches for improved efficiency and sustainability
