Abstract
As the pharmaceutical industry continues to evolve, increased attention to the environmental impact of drug discovery and manufacturing processes has continued to drive a focus on the application of green chemistry principles across the continuum of drug discovery. With the development of new synthetic strategies, methodologies, and technologies that are enabling rapid access to a diverse range of valuable chemical space, opportunities continue to surface to identify and implement sustainable processes. Examples of the development and application of green chemistry principles within the synthetic routes for our drug discovery programs will be discussed. As complexity increases within modern molecular targets, the discipline must continue to focus on identifying and applying these efficiencies wherever possible.
