Description
The 4th edition of Pharmaceutical Substances is designed to be a complete reference guide to every pharmaceutical compound of significance. It provides a compendium of nearly 2300 pharmaceutical ingredients of interest to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Pharmaceutical Substances is an invaluable resource for anybody involved in the design, discovery, development, and evaluation of drugs.
Pharmaceutical Substances was developed by Axel Kleemann
and Jürgen Engel, as a solution to the problems they encountered when
creating their own bibliography for laboratory research. As a result
these two great research chemists have brought together items of
information that, in their experience, are used day-in-day-out by
pharmaceutical chemists. Together with their co-authors, Bernhard
Kutscher and Dietmar Reichert they have created an indispensable tool
for researchers.
Pharmaceutical Substances is a first point of reference for any person
wishing to screen references to drugs before turning to more detailed
primary literature, such as the original patent application or the
original research paper. Extensive indexing and cross linking of
references provides the reader with a fast and easy way to compare
pharmaceutical ingredients with similar characteristics.
All compounds are organized alphabetically according to their International Nonproprietary Name (INN). For added ease of use the book features 4 additional indexes:
- Intermediates
- Trade Names
- Enzymes, Microorganisms, Plants and Animal Tissues
- Substance Classes
The description of each compound includes:
- Chemical structure
- Graphical representation of synthetic route including intermediates
- Nomenclature: INN standard, trivial names, synonyms, CAS number
- ATC codes
- Medical applications/Therapeutic category
- Toxicological data
- Patent number, origin, holder and date of application
- Commercial information
- Bibliographic information including CASSI codes
