Green Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry cover

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leading pharmaceutical scientists, this is the first book on this important and hot topic, containing much previously unpublished information.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.

“At last! A book which looks at Green Chemistry from an industrial viewpoint!  This is the best book I have read on   Green Chemistry and should be on the bookshelf of every process chemist and engineer. Outstanding!” (Organic Process Research & Development, March 2010)
