Patent Information Users Group, Inc.

Note: In October 2019, CAS launched Formulus®, comprehensive curated formulation database available as a standalone product and also available through STN (CAS FORMULATIONS^TM) or SciFinder-n (see below two webinars).

Formulus® is a trademark owned by American Chemical Society and registered for Good and Services IC041 & IC042 Providing an online database in the academic fields of chemistry and related sciences and IC 045 Providing an online database featuring patents and patent information

CAS offers the following two SciFinder-n webinars: Nov. 4, 2020 and Nov. 18, 2020

Better Living Through Chemistry – Advancing your agrochemical research with SciFinderⁿ

November 4, 2020 at 4am EST, 10am EST, 4 pm EST & 9 pm EST (see Registration links at the bottom of the event page)

Whether your agrochemical research is focused on optimizing plant growth, protecting seeds or defending plants from invading entities such as fungi, insects or even other plant species, you must be knowledgeable about a vast variety of chemical compounds and technologies. Further complicating things is a heavily competitive IP landscape regarding  the chemical and biological agents that control our food sources…

Formulus^® delivers the world’s largest collection of formulations integrated with authoritative CAS substance,  supplier specifications, and regulatory resources serving as a one-stop shop for formulation research.

In this webinar you will learn how to [use SciFinderⁿ for]

• identify compounds claimed in agrochemical applications
• understand the components utilized in relevant  agrochemical formulations
• define the composition, purpose, and physical form of available agrochemical formulations

Note:. There is a short video “NPK Fertilizers” (1:39) and a related use case [1] which demonstrates use of Formulus® for agrochemical formulations. As stated in the video (at 1:16),  Formulus® helps to find interconnection between patent formulations and ingredients, etc.

Also, on June 23, 2020 offered 30 min. webinar “Data-Driven Development of Formulations to Combat Herbicide-Resistance” demonstrating how Formulus® being used by agrochemical companies to streamline the development of crop protection formulations (Presenter: Molly Strausbaugh, Asst. Director, Product & Content Operations at CAS),  however it currently appear to be not available on demand.

Next Stop, the Clinic - Preparing your new Drug for Clinical Research with SciFinderⁿ and Formulus^® 

November 18, 2020 at 4am EST, 10am EST, 4 pm EST & 9 pm EST (see Registration links at the bottom of the event page)

Things are going well for your latest drug molecule - it seems efficacious, you have assessed potential toxicity, and even determined a safe starting dose, and now you are ready to move to the clinic. This initiates a number of important development activities requiring intense and thorough research. Drug bioavailability dictates the effective development of formulations including what salts or hydrate forms can be used to optimize solubility, permeability, dissolution rate, etc. Polymorphism provides additional opportunities but certainly complicates research plans.  Successful navigation of this  phase of drug development requires authoritative and reliable information sources to optimize the speed and efficiency of your research.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

• effectively search for previously unknown pharmaceutical formulations and understand their use of relevant excipients
• survey the landscape of pertinent drug delivery systems
• define the composition, purpose, and physical form of desired pharmaceutical formulations
