Pharmaceutics Webinar | Bioactive Compounds & Nanotechnology for Sustainable Pharma, 4 May 2026
A welcome message from the webinar Chair:
It is a pleasure to announce this webinar, organized within the full scope of the Pharmaceutics Special Issue “Advances in Bioactive Compounds and Nanotechnology: Sustainable Approaches for Pharmaceutical Applications.” This event is designed to reflect the breadth and interdisciplinarity of the Special Issue, covering the entire innovation chain from sustainable sourcing to pharmaceutical implementation.
The seminar embraces topics ranging from the extraction and valorization of bioactive compounds from renewable resources and industrial byproducts to green chemistry approaches for drug synthesis and biotechnological production of pharmaceutical ingredients. It also addresses advances in nanotechnology for drug delivery, including sustainable nanocarriers to enhance bioavailability, phytochemical-based therapies enabled by nanotechnology, and green nanotechnology principles applied to pharmaceutical systems.
Together, these contributions highlight how sustainability and technological innovation can jointly shape the future of pharmaceutical development.
