Description : Extensive experimentation and high failure rates are a well-recognized downside to the drug discovery process, with the resultant high levels of inefficiency and waste producing a negative environmental impact. Sustainable and Green Approaches in Medicinal Chemistry: Applications, Second edition reveals how medicinal chemistry can play a direct role in addressing this issue. After providing essential context to the growth of green chemistry in relation to drug discovery, the book goes on to identify a broad range of practical techniques and useful insights, revealing how medicinal chemistry techniques can be used to improve efficiency, mitigate failure and increase the environmental benignity of the entire drug discovery process._x000D_ Drawing on the knowledge of a global team of experts, Sustainable and Green Approaches in Medicinal Chemistry, Second Edition 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._x000D_ This second volume of the second edition 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.
