"Green Chemistry focuses on the science and techniques that chemists and chemical and process engineers can harness to generate less waste, and to develop products and processes that are more atom- and energy-efficient, and environmentally sensitive. As well as being greener, a key goal of green chemistry is to be more cost-effective, and this key engineering reference explores ways that green chemistry can save organizations significant sums of money in their processes, while also reducing emissions and environmental impacts." "The book describes the science and engineering principles behind green chemistry. It explores the use of new manufacturing conditions, such as those using smarter organic synthetic techniques and processes that maintain atom efficiency to temper the effects of chemical processes."--Jacket.

to Cyclic glucans are polysaccharides that are predominantly produced by Agrobacterium, Bradyrhizobium and Rhizobium sp. and widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. In this book, the applications, properties, analytical tools, production and genes of four main cyclic β-glucans from microorganisms are highlighted and critically evaluated. As biocompatible and biodegradable renewable resources, they have an immense potential for future applications, which has not yet been fully exploited. This concise review will help to bridge this gap.

Plant extracts or their pure natural constituents have been used traditionally for thousands of years for treating diseases with considerable success in India and other Asian countries. In addition, they have also been used as complements or supplements with conventional medicine. This book discusses the latest research in the application of combination therapy, namely herbs and drugs, in the treatment of a range of communicable and non-communicable diseases to achieve a synergistic effect. This synergy may help in reducing the amount of drug, its toxicity, side effects, and development of resistance as well as improve its efficacy. The book also discusses the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic parameters, experimental tools to determine the impact of combination, computational approaches to identify synergy, statistical analysis of data, and clinical and regulatory issues. The book is useful for researchers in the fields of pharmacology, pharmacy and medicinal chemistry and those working in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. This book could open up new strategies to focus on multiple targets to combat complex diseases unlike the single targeted drugs that are being currently marketed by the pharmaceuticals industries.
