The design, discovery, development and use of medicinal agents produces a whole range of environmental contaminants which have a damaging ecological impact. By acknowledging and addressing these issues, chemists can take preventative steps at multiple stages in the process, from using computational models and selecting green solvents, to designing for degradation and creating new remediation tools. Contemporary Chemical Approaches for Green and Sustainable Drugs provides readers with the knowledge they need to integrate such sustainable approaches into their work. After an introduction to the major focus areas in the field, the book includes four parts, each dealing with different aspects of green and sustainable drug development from design to disposal. These include computer-aided drug design, green resourcing of drugs and drug candidates, an overview of the health concerns of pharmaceutical pollution, and a survey of potential chemical methods for its reduction. Drawing together the knowledge of a global team of experts, Contemporary Chemical Approaches for Green and Sustainable Drugs provides an inclusive overview of the chemical tools and approaches available for minimizing the negative environmental impact of current and newly developed drugs, making it a useful guide for all academic and industrial researchers across green and sustainable chemistry, medicinal chemistry, environmental chemistry and pharmaceutical science. Provides an integrative overview of the environmental risks of drugs and drug by products to support chemists in pre-emptively addressing these issuesHighlights the advantages of computer-aided drug design, green and sustainable sourcing, and novel methods for the production of safer, more effective drugsPresents individual chapters written by renowned experts with diverse backgroundsReflects research in practise through selected case studies and extensive state-of-the-art reference sections to serve as a starting point in the design of any specialized environmentally-conscious medicinal chemistry project INDICE: Part I.
