Cambridge, MA, [1 June 2010] – CambridgeSoft Corporation, a leading provider of knowledge enterprise solutions, today announced the availability of an online structure- and substructure-searchable version of The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, which is jointly published by the American Pharmacists Association and Pharmaceutical Press, publications division of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPS).
This is the second product to be developed as part of the agreement between RPS and CambridgeSoft Corporation to offer selected RPS content to customers, the first being Martindale for Scientists, the only structure-searchable version of the authoritative reference work Martindale, The Complete Drug Reference.
The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients is an internationally acclaimed reference work recognized as one of the most authoritative and comprehensive sources of information on excipients used in pharmaceutical formulation. It is an indispensable tool for formulation scientists, written by over 140 pharmaceutical scientists from around the world, who are experts in the manufacture, analysis, or use of excipients. The database contains information on the uses, and chemical and physical properties of excipients systematically collated from a variety of international sources including: pharmacopeias, patents, primary and secondary literature, websites, and manufacturers’ data. There is extensive data on the applications, licensing, and safety of excipients. Available at chembiofinder.com, Pharmaceutical Excipients can be searched by structure and substructure, and it is also accessible directly from the new Formulations Module of CambridgeSoft’s widely deployed E-Notebook.
