synthesissubstances
Synthesissubstances is a term used to describe chemical substances produced primarily through synthetic chemical processes rather than extraction from natural sources. In modern practice, most chemicals used in medicine, industry, and consumer products are synthetic or at least partially synthetic, produced by controlled laboratory or industrial syntheses. The scope includes a wide range of materials, such as pharmaceutical drugs, polymers, dyes, flavors and fragrances, agrochemicals, and advanced materials used in electronics and energy storage. It contrasts with naturally occurring substances obtained by isolation from plants, animals, or minerals.
In pharmaceuticals, synthetic routes can offer advantages in purity, reproducibility, and scalability, though they may also
Regulation and safety cover the identification, purity, potency, and control of impurities, especially for substances intended
