This detailed book highlights several emerging areas in the implementation of green chemistry in medicinal chemistry drug discovery with a specific focus on their application to the expeditious discovery of new biologically active entities. Divided into three sections, the collection explores greener approaches to chemical transformations that are both prevalent and have been highlighted as challenging within the pharmaceutical industry, overall synthetic strategy, as well as the implementation and impact of a range of enabling technologies within medicinal chemistry. As a volume of the Methods in Pharmacology and Toxicology series, chapters provide the kind of key insight that can guide researchers toward greater success in the lab. Authoritative and practical, Green Chemistry in Drug Discovery: From Academia to Industry provides both a fundamental insight into the progress that has been made as well as some of the challenges that still exist for these techniques to be effectively implemented in the drug discovery process in a routine manner.

This unique volume describes advances in the field of mechanochemistry, in particular the scaling up of mechanochemical processes. Scalable techniques employed to carry out solvent-free synthesis are evaluated. Comparability to continuous flow chemistry, the current industrial benchmark for continuous efficient chemical synthesis, is presented.The book concludes that mechanochemical synthesis can be scaled up into a continuous, sustainable process. It demonstrates that large-scale mechanochemistry can meet industrial demands, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Features Mechanochemistry is rapidly developing as a multidisciplinary science on the borderline between chemistry, materials science and environmental science This unique text focuses on mechanochemistry with the ability to scale up and illustrates how mechanochemical synthesis is no longer an obstacle This timely book highlights recent advancements describing what can be achieved in chemical synthesis Mechanochemistry enables the synthesis of multiple polymorphic crystalline forms in the production of drugs in the form of tablets or granules in capsules

The incorporation of Green Chemistry is a relatively new phenomenon in the drug discovery discipline, since the scale that chemists operate on in drug discovery is smaller than those of process and manufacturing chemistry. The necessary metrics are more difficult to obtain in drug discovery due to the diversity of reactions conducted. However, 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 for greatest return on investment. The Editors have taken a comprehensive approach to the topic covering 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. Currently employed as well as emerging techniques for performing greener drug discovery chemistry are addressed as well as cutting-edge topics like biologics discovery. Moreover, important surrounding issues such as intellectual property are included. This book will serve as a practical guide for both academic and industrial chemists who work across the breadth of the drug discovery discipline. Ultimately, readers will learn how to incorporate green chemistry strategies into their everyday workflow without slowing down their science.

Sustainable development is now accepted as a necessary goal for achieving societal, economic and environmental objectives. Within this chemistry has a vital role to play. The chemical industry is successful but traditionally success has come at a heavy cost to the environment. The challenge for chemists and others is to develop new products, processes and services that achieve societal, economic and environmental benefits. This requires an approach that reduces the materials and energy intensity of chemical processes and products; minimises the dispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment; maximises the use of renewable resources and extends the durability and recyclability of products in a way that increases industrial competitiveness as well as improve its tarnished image.
