Abstract
Green chemistry (GC) metrics provide insight into the relative waste, time and cost implications of pharmaceutical chemical processes and serve to guide scientists in the strategic application of resources to develop more efficient and sustainable processes. Examples of the application of GC metrics in evaluating pharmaceutical process efficiency and the subsequent development toward improvement exist in abundance from journals such as Organic Process Research and Development, Green Chemistry, or as encompassed by the winning examples from the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable's [1] Peter J. Dunn award [2] or the US EPA's Green Chemistry Challenge award [3]. By their nature, GC metrics are continuously evolving but justify the necessary, unceasing investment in understanding and application as they offer unique, opportunistic insight serving to guide scientific resource deployment when developing greener pharmaceutical, chemical processes.
