Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a cost-effective and widely available cellulose derivative, has recently emerged as a micelle-mimicking additive capable of creating hydrophobic pockets that enhance solubility, reactivity and selectivity in aqueous systems. This review critically evaluates the role of HPMC in the synthesis of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), integrating mechanistic insights with sustainability metrics such as process mass intensity (PMI), E-factor and atom economy. Whereas previous reviews have largely cataloged applications, the present review highlights the advantages of HPMC, as a cost-effective and sustainable medium, contrasting it with designer surfactants such as TPGS-750-M and Savie, which – despite enabling notable progress – remain relatively costly and may still require co-solvents under certain conditions. Representative case studies in metal-catalyzed (Pd, Cu, Ni), metal-free (amide couplings, SNAr), and photoredox reactions are discussed, with emphasis on reaction efficiency at extremely short times, promising scalability, and environmental benefits. We further identify key limitations: restricted reaction scope and barriers to regulatory acceptance. By outlining critical research gaps and industrial opportunities, this work provides a forward-looking perspective on how HPMC can advance sustainable synthetic chemistry and accelerate the adoption of water-based technologies in pharmaceutical manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22138,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry and Pharmacy","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 102233"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145268030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With their intended effects on organisms, biocides represent a group of chemicals for which the SSbD framework presents particular challenges. As they intentionally feature harmful properties to provide a societal benefit, a special approach is needed for biocides to assess their safety and sustainability. Thus, we propose biocide-specific amendments to the SSbD framework to address these challenges, allowing a more balanced assessment. First of all, we suggest the inclusion of specific questions within the scoping analysis. In addition, a circular approach with central aspects is recommended for the assessment to facilitate an iterative improvement of safety and sustainability considerations for biocides. The central aspects include purpose, functionality and efficacy. Additionally, specific recommendations are provided for safety and sustainability individually, including the first proposals for biocide-specific aspects in the social impact assessment step; encompassing both societal needs and impacts (positive and negative aspects) and a socio-economic life cycle assessment. It is advisable to establish a feedback loop between societal needs and impacts and the intrinsic hazard assessment, which involves balancing the hazard with the functionality of the investigated biocide.
