Future Trends for Creen Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry... 

I 76 Future Trends for Green Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry Table 16.1 Current and aspirational E factors for industry segments. 

The book concludes with perspectives on future trends and some thoughts on the future direction of LC/MS applications in the pharmaceutical industry. New standards of analytical performance are discussed with regard to throughput and capacity. A prospective look at how higher standards of analytical performance in the pharmaceutical industry will effect relationships with academia and instrument manufacturers is featured. These sections extend the initial thesis of accelerated development to include new analysis bottlenecks and perspectives on analysis issues and industry needs. 

The individual self-contained volumes will each encompass a closely related field of applications and will demonstrate those methods which have found the widest applications in the area. The emphasis is expected to be on the comparison of published and established methods which have been employed in the application area rather than the details of experimental and novel methods. The volumes will also identify future trends and the potential impact of new technologies and new separation methods. The volumes will therefore provide up-to-date critical surveys of the roles that analytical separations play now and in the future in research, development and production, across the wide range of the fine and heavy chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, health care, food production and the environment. It will not be a laboratory guide but a source book of established and potential methods based on the literature that can be consulted by the reader. 

Trends in the crystallization process development in the pharmaceutical industry is to carry out measurements at a small scale in addition to utilizing automation and high throughput systems as exemplified by the use of automated metastable zone measurement for 1 mL samples. It is expected that the future batch crystallization recipes will be designed based on the data collected from much smaller scale crystallizers than what is currently used in industry.

Timelines for product development are continually being shortened in an effort to get a compound on the market as quickly as possible. Current and future trends and industry paradigm shifts are changing the face of clinical trials so that the pharmaceutical industry can look forward to global approval of new and old pharmaceutical products. 

Future returns to the research-intensive pharmaceutical industry depend not only on the opportunities created by scientific research, but also on the regulatory and market conditions that will govern the sale of pioneer and me-too products. OTA examined recent trends in payment policies that affect the market for new pharmaceuticals. 

This chapter summarizes trends in pharmaceutical research and development (R D) spending and compares estimates from available data sources. In short, the pharmaceutical industry invests more intensively in R D than do most industries, and expenditures in constant dollars have risen at an astonishing rate of roughly 10 percent per year. Since 1980, pharmaceutical firms in the United States and abroad have devoted an increasing proportion of total sales to R D. How much is spent What does this record of increasing real investment in R D say about the costs and returns to pharmaceutical R D, both in the past and in the future This chapter addresses these questions.

In addition to the computer software and hardware trends that will impact chemical-scientific database systems in the future, trends in chemistry will also impact them. The disciplines of genetic engineering and polymer chemistry have special needs for chemical database technology, as do computational chemistry and patent applications. The chemical/pharmaceutical industry will enjoy important gains in productivity when these needs are better provided for. 

Focusing on the recent advances and updates, this section addresses new development in chemical and pharmaceutical industries and in the conservation of natural resources. Included in this edition are newer practices and technologies and their applications or trends for future applications with relevant references that have appeared in the literature since the first edition was published. Several new chapters on emerging areas such as membrane separation in petrochemical oil refinery, chitosan as new material for membrane preparation, new membrane material for ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF), and potential application of reverse osmosis (RO) in chemical industry have been added in the second edition.
