Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) chemicals: a critical review of current biotechnological approaches

The aim of this article was to generate a framework of bio-based economy by an effective utilization of biomass from the perspectives of agriculture for developing potential end bio-based products (e.g. pharmaceuticals, active pharmaceutical ingredients). Our discussion is also extended to the conservatory ways of bioenergy along with development of bio-based products and biofuels. This review article further showcased the fundamental principles for producing these by-products. Thereby, the necessity of creating these products is to be efficaciously utilization by small-scale farmers that can aid the local needs for bio-based materials and energy. Concurrently, the building up of small markets will open up the avenues and linkages for bigger markets. In nutshell, the aim of the review is to explore the pathway of the biotechnological approaches so that less chosen producers and underdeveloped areas can be allied so that pressure on the systems of biomass production can be relaxed.

Automated summary

The aim of this article is to develop a framework for bio-based economy through the effective utilization of biomass from agriculture in order to produce potential bio-based products such as pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The article also discusses the conservation of bioenergy and the development of bio-based products and biofuels. It showcases the fundamental principles for producing these by-products. The creation of these products is necessary to meet the local needs for bio-based materials and energy by small-scale farmers, and the establishment of small markets will provide opportunities for larger markets.
