New Implementation of Derwent Drug File (DRUGU/DDFU) Makes Searching More Convenient

The Derwent Drug File (DRUGU for subscribers/DDFU for non-subscribers) is a bibliographic database that provides access to the worldwide pharmaceutical literature on the whole life cycle of a drug - from drug design to post-marketing surveillance. If you are interested in information on clinical trials, adverse effects, etc., check out this invaluable resource.

The new implementation of the Derwent Drug File on CAS STNext unifies DRUGB and DDFB, the historical backfiles for DRUGU and DDFU, with their respective front files. That means that the new versions of DRUGU and DDFU both now cover 1964 to the present, making comprehensive searching more convenient.

An updated Database Summary Sheet for DRUGU/DDFU is now available at: https://www.cas.org/sites/default/files/documents/ddfu_120322.pdf
