Ashgate Drugs is an online, fully searchable version of the popular book, Drugs: Synonyms and Properties,
published by Ashgate.
The online database has 7,922 drugs which are currently in common use
worldwide. It includes all drugs approved by FDA prior to 2004. These
drugs all have recognized applications, and are classified into one or
more of 201 therapeutic categories.
Each entry is accompanied by:
- The CAS Registry Number and, as available,
- The European Inventory of Existing commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS) number
For every drug in the database, there is:
- A chemical name
- Molecular formula
- Molecular weight
- Structure
- Synonyms, including tradenames
- Medical application
- Manufacturer
and, as available:
- Physical Properties
- Regulatory and patent information
Each of these 11 fields is fully searchable. Thus an entry may be located on the basis of structure or substructure, synonyms, biological activity, physical properties or manufacturer.
This reference will be invaluable to research chemists, biologists, and physicians and to anyone interested in drugs who, starting with a single synonym for a drug, will be able to quickly find a thumbnail sketch of the essential information concerning that agent.
