Sustainable and Green Approaches in Medicinal Chemistry: Applications, Second Edition reveals essential context on the growth of green chemistry in relation to drug discovery, identifying a broad range of practical techniques and useful insights and revealing how medicinal chemistry techniques can be used to improve efficiency, mitigate failure, and increase the environmental benignity of the entire drug discovery process. The book encourages the growth of green medicinal chemistry and supports medicinal chemists, drug discovery researchers, pharmacologists, and all those in related fields across both academia and industry in integrating these approaches into their own work. This volume includes the development of nanoparticles and nanocomposites, as well as the application of ultrasound and microwave-induced methods; studies solventless synthesis; defines the role of steroids; studies reactions in aqueous solution; identifies enzyme-mediated reactions; investigates ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents; explores natural products; investigates solid supports; realizes the effects of salts; focuses on combinatorial chemistry; develops one-pot methods; analyzes multi-component reactions; investigates dipole moment values; and examines computer-assisted methods.
- Highlights the need for 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
- Identifies novel and cost effective green medicinal chemistry approaches for improved efficiency and sustainability
