Comprehensive... Authoritative... Reliable
CAS, the global leader in chemical information, and a division of the American Chemical Society, provides the most comprehensive databases of disclosed research in chemistry and related sciences, including the world's largest collection of substance information, the CAS REGISTRYSM.
CAS makes this information available to researchers through SciFinder and STN, the best search and retrieval tools for scientists and information professionals.
A Novel Antimicrobial Drug from an Unlikely Source - The African Clawed Frog
A recent article suggests that the growing problem of antibiotic drug resistance may be addressed with a
new drug that mimics our innate immune system. Pexiganan is a synthetic analog of magainin II, isolated from the skin of the African clawed frog and one of more than 1000 antimicrobial peptides identified in plants and animals.
Largest Collection of Proton NMR Spectra Now Available in SciFinder
Scientists worldwide can now access more than 23.8 million predicted proton NMR spectra in SciFinder, CAS' leading research and discovery tool and the authoritative source of information on more than 41 million chemical substances. These proton NMR spectra augment the 1.9 billion predicted and experimental properties and data tags already available in SciFinder.
