Pharma Chemicals in Microbial Chemistry: Microbial Contributions to Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing

Author(s): Nikhil R. Chatterjee

Abstract Pharma chemicals comprise a broad range of substances used in drug discovery, development, and manufacturing. In microbial chemistry, these chemicals are closely linked to microbial metabolism, biocatalysis, and biosynthesis of therapeutically relevant compounds. Microorganisms play a vital role in producing, transforming, and optimizing pharma chemicals with high specificity and efficiency. This article explores the role of pharma chemicals in microbial chemistry, emphasizing microbial pathways, biotransformation strategies, and their importance in modern pharmaceutical science.
