Green Chemistry in Drug Discovery

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 forthese techniques to be effectively implemented in the drug discovery process in a routine manner.
