MICROWAVE ASSISTED SYNTHESIS, A GREEN PROTOCOL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AND ADVANCED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS, A REVIEW

Medicinal Chemistry community is considering new chemical processes, which are environmentally benign. Environmentally benign synthetic protocols have become the primary concern during complex drug discovery processes. Green chemistry is providing algorithms for protecting the environment, not by cleaning it, but by inventing new chemical processes that fuel the Economy and lifestyles, without causing any damage to the environment. Microwave assisted techniques has opened up new opportunities to the synthetic chemists in the form of new improved reaction pathways, that are not otherwise feasible. MAOS has reduced the reaction times from hours or days to minutes leading to efficient economic way for synthesis of large number of molecules. Present Review article attempts to focus on what is MAOS, how it is generated and works going on in this area.
