The Impact of Microwave Irradiation Reaction in Medicinal Chemistry: A Review

Abstract

The present review collects an update of the reactions in the area of medicinal chemistry using microwave irradiation. This review come up with an overview of most salient reactions performed under microwave irradiation in the field of drug discovery. Moreover, chemists are preferring to use this reaction rapidly in the academic as well as pharmaceutical laboratory during their drug discovery and making library of compounds. This reaction is much greener using less amount and readily recyclable solvents or sometimes reaction process without solvents and product become much cleaner, often yields are better than the conventional heating. Microwave irradiation is now very robust instrument used in company in the field of drug discovery, due to reduce the reaction time from hour to minute or even second and efficiently creation of compound libraries through combinatorial methodology associated with drug discovery so that new therapeutic agents bring to the market quicker. Hopefully, we will observe in the future the use of microwave irradiation drugs for the patients and this technology will utilize increase in number extensively in the field of medicinal chemistry. As this is an exceedingly rapid evolution area, this review offers significant expertise to the interested readers.
