Wiley Launches AntiBase 2005 and AmicBase 2005

25-Apr-2005

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., announced the launch of AntiBase 2005 and AmicBase 2005, two new comprehensive database products designed for researchers and scientists in organic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.

AntiBase 2005 is a database of 31,022 natural compounds from microorganisms and higher fungi. The data in AntiBase 2005 have been collected from the primary and secondary literature and then carefully checked and validated. Included in the database: descriptive data (molecular formula and mass, elemental composition, CAS registry number); physico-chemical data (melting point, optical rotation); spectroscopic data (UV, 13C-NMR, IR and mass spectra); biological data (pharmacological activity, toxicity); information on origin and isolation; and a summary of literature sources. For those compounds where no measured spectra are available, the 2005 edition of AntiBase utilizes predicted 13C-NMR spectra produced by SpecInfo, the spectrum prediction program. Calculated high resolution molecular masses are also included in this new update.

AmicBase 2005 contains information about the antimicrobial and toxicological properties of pharmaceutical drugs and natural compounds produced through microorganisms and higher plants. Compound groups included in the database are approved antibiotic drugs available in United States, Japan and Europe and encompass antiseptics, disinfectants and preservatives used in food, cosmetics and in the pharmaceutical industry. The database contains 160,149 data records of 7,474 compounds and includes: descriptive data (molecular formula and mass, CAS number, EINECS, 2D and 3D structures); inhibitory data (MIC and others) including a brief description of test method and references; and toxicology data (LD50), which also include short references.
