Edited by three of the world's leading pharmaceutical scientists, this is the
first book on this important and hot topic, containing much previously
unpublished information. As such, it covers all aspects of green chemistry in
the pharmaceutical industry, from simple molecules to complex proteins, and from
drug discovery to the fate of pharmaceuticals in the environment. Furthermore,
this ready reference contains several convincing case studies from industry,
such as Taxol, Pregabalin and Crestor, illustrating how this multidisciplinary
approach has yielded efficient and environmentally-friendly processes. Finally,
a section on technology and tools highlights the advantages of green chemistry.
