Pharmaceutical companies are realizing that incorporation of green chemistry techniques at earlier stages of drug development can speed the development of a drug candidate. Edited by experts who have pioneered green chemistry efforts within their own institutions, this book provides a practical guide for both academic and industrial labs wanting to know where to start with introducing greener approaches and where to channel efforts for greatest return on investment. This book takes a comprehensive approach to the topic covering surrounding issues such as intellectual property. It covers the entire drug discovery process from molecule conception, through synthesis, formulation and toxicology with specific examples and case studies where green chemistry strategies have been implemented. Also addressed is green chemistry in biologics discovery, a cutting-edge topic. Ultimately, readers will learn how to incorporate green chemistry strategies into their everyday workflow without slowing down their science.
