Quick and easy access to reference information has become a vital tool for research scientists
Now, Ashgate Publishing and CambridgeSoft collaborate to announce the electronic publication of Ashgate's Drugs: Synonyms and Properties, covering over 8000 drug substances currently in common use worldwide.
Edited by world-renowned authority in drug design and chemical information GWA Milne, this volume fills an important gap in drug information and will take its place as one of the bibles of reference information in pharmaceutical and chemical information.
This electronic edition eliminates the need to pore over indices at the back of the book and manually tabulate the compounds of interest.
Using CambridgeSoft's chemical searching software technology, the user draws the structure of interest, or enters a name or name fragment, or other text identifiers and rapidly receives the 'hit' list.
Search terms consisting of chemical structures, substructures, property values and ranges can be combined to make powerful and precise queries.
Data that can be searched includes chemical structures, synonyms, CAS Registry Numbers, the European EINECS numbers, the Merck Index (Thirteenth Edition) monograph numbers, physical properties, biological activities, and intended applications.
Ashgate's compilation comprises an extensive coverage of synonyms, and this electronic edition adds almost 70,000 synonyms and trade names that did not fit into the printed volume.
Ashgate's Drugs: Synonyms and Properties is available through the Internet as online personal or institutional subscriptions, as a stand-alone CD-Rom for Windows operating systems, and as an SD file version for use with in-silico applications.
It is one of a growing number of reference databases available for use with CambridgeSoft's popular desktop ChemOffice systems and enterprise-capable ChemOffice WebServer solutions.
