Drug Discovery: Search the literature

SciFinder-n is a new version of SciFinder, the largest index to chemistry and related literature. Search by topic, author, compound name, molecular formula or structure.

Provides 'normalized substance–target affinity data and comprehensive pharmacokinetic, efficacy, toxicity, safety and metabolic profiles.'

Index to biomedical literature. Similar to PubMed but better indexed for drug names, drug classes and medical devices.

If you have created an NCBI account to log in to PubMed, you now need to switch to a third party option, such as Facebook, Google, Microsoft or ORCID. Please refer to NCBI’s instructions and FAQs.

Searches FDA and EMA regulatory documents. We also subscribe to a pharmacokinetics module.
