File Description [top]

Index Chemicus focuses on current awareness of new compounds and reports with over 200,000 new compounds and synthetic intermediates added each year, with coverage of over 2.4 million structures published in the literature since 1993. Covering the world's leading organic chemistry journals, Index Chemicus is a text- and substructure-searchable database. It serves as both a compound database and a current awareness tool, providing full graphical summaries, complete bibliographic information, and author abstracts for the papers it covers.

With Index Chemicus, a user can:

  • keep up with the latest research
  • find new ideas for projects
  • track the work of other research groups
  • save time in the laboratory and the library

Subject Coverage [top]

Index Chemicus (File 302) contains the structures and critical supporting data for novel organic compounds reported in over 100 leading international journals. In addition, many full records in the database show the reaction flow from starting material to final product. Index Chemicus is a vital source of new information on biologically active compounds and natural products.

  /AB  Abstract: The marine fatty acid (+/-)-2-methoxytetradecanoic acid 
      was synthesized in two steps (71% overall yield) starting from commercially 
      available methyl-2-hydroxytetradecanoate.  The title compound was antifungal 
      against Candida albicans (ATCC 14053) in RPMI medium and Aspergillus niger 
      (ATTCC 16404) and Cryptococcocus neoformans (ATCC 66031) in SDB medium at the 
      minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 100 mM, which compares to the 
      fungitoxicity of a 2-iodotetradecanoic acid against the same fungi.  The 
      title compound was also five to ten times more cytotoxic than capric acid 
      to C. albicans and A. niger in the tested medium but comparable in 
      cytotoxicity to either capric acid and its 2-methoxylated analog to C. 
      neoformans.  The antifungal activity of () -2-methoxytetradecanoic acid is 
      explained in terms of inhibition of N-myristoyltransferase.
