Gone is the need to pore over the indices at the back of the book, and manually tabulate the compounds of interest. With the electronic versions, simply
draw the structure, enter a name or name fragment, add a range to property field, or enter one of several standard identifiers and then search away. You can also combine your search terms to make a powerful
query. Data that can be searched includes chemical structures, synonyms, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number; the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) Number;
The Merck Index (Thirteenth Edition) Number; the physical properties of each compound; and the known biological activity and indicated applications.
A key component of this reference is the extensive coverage of synonyms. The electronic version adds almost 70,000 synonyms and trade names that did not fit into print version bring the total number to
nearly 100,000.
Ashgate's Drugs: Synonyms and Properties is available via the Web 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.
