BEILSTEIN enhanced with new compounds

More than 120,000 new compounds were added to BEILSTEIN.  Of the new compounds, approximately 40% are heterocyclic compounds, 20% are polymers, and 20% are biomolecules.  Pharmacological and reaction data for many of the new substances have also been added.

For additional information on BEILSTEIN, refer to the STN Database Summary Sheet.


CA/CAplus enhanced with pre-1907 records from Chemisches Zentralblatt

Nearly 18,000 records from the 1905-1906 issues of Chemisches Zentralblatt have been added to CA/CAplus.  A predecessor to Chemical AbstractsTM, Chemisches Zentralblatt is a German chemical abstracting journal published from 1830-1969.

The new pre-1907 records have been enhanced with English machine translations of Bibliographic (BIB) and Abstract (AB) information.  In the Title (TI) and AB fields, translated data is indicated by "machine translation" and "Machine Translation of Descriptors", respectively.

CAplus enhanced with traditional medicine patents from 1985-2005

CAplus has been enhanced with approximately 10,000 traditional medicine patents from 1985-2005.  These patents are not represented by new or different kind codes and are not assigned to a CA section.

In the IPC.TAB display format, XC may appear in the CC column (authority issuing the International Patent Classification code).  XC indicates that the patent has been examined by CAS, but it is not part of the reclassification supplied by the European Patent Office (EPO).  The presence of XC provides an additional way to search IPC codes.

For additional information on CA/CAplus, refer to the STN Database Summary Sheets.
