The Merck index

Abstract

Presents over 10,000 monographs which detail chemicals, drugs and biologicals, and describe a single substance or small group of related compounds. This CD-ROM provides the tools to draw structures and then search for them. Users are able to access the data they need quickly with a choice of search options: text search, structure search, and sub-structure search. Text searching is possible for every field of the database: chemical, common, generic and brand names; molecular weights and formulae; physical and toxicity data; and citations to the scientific and patent literature. New with this release are organic name reactions available as a fully text searchable file, and 100 new monographs detailing the latest new drugs and compounds of recent interest. This CD-ROM should be of interest to medicinal chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, biochemists, environmentalists, medical practitioners, natural product chemists, biologists, food scientists, pharmacologists, clinical chemists, organic chemists, inorganic chemists, and information professionals.
