Abstract: Green chemistry has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the sustainable development of pharmaceuticals. It emphasizes designing processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances while maximizing efficiency. This review explores the role of green chemistry principles in drug synthesis, highlighting various sustainable methodologies including solvent-free reactions, microwave-assisted synthesis, biocatalysis, and the use of renewable feedstocks. The integration of green chemistry not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances process safety, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance. Through illustrative case studies and comparative analyses, this paper underscores the significance of adopting green chemistry to meet the increasing global demand for eco-friendly drug manufacturing. This study also provides insights into current challenges and future perspectives in implementing green chemistry at an industrial scale.
Keywords: Green chemistry, Sustainable drug synthesis, Biocatalysis, Eco-friendly pharmaceuticals, Microwave-assisted synthesis, Renewable feedstocks.
