Chemistry in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Kent and Riegel’s Handbook of Industrial Chemistry and Biotechnology(2007)
摘要
This chapter will discuss the role of chemistry within the pharmaceutical industry. Although the focus will be upon the industry
within the United States, much of the discussion is equally relevant to pharmaceutical companies based in other first world
nations such as Japan and those in Europe. The major objective of the pharmaceutical industry is the discovery, development,
and marketing of efficacious and safe drugs for the treatment of human disease. Of course drug companies do not exist as altruistic,
charitable organizations but like other share-holder owned corporations within our capitalistic society must achieve profits
in order to remain viable and competitive. Thus, there exists a conundrum between the dual goals of enhancing the quality
and duration of human life and that of increasing stock-holder equity. Much has been written and spoken in the lay media about
the high prices of prescription drugs and the hardships this places upon the elderly and others of limited income.
