Searching For CAS Numbers

Searching for a substance by using the CAS registry numbers is extremely simple in the online version of Pharmaceutical Substances. The example below talks you through the procedure for searching using a CAS registry number.

Search Interface

When at the home page simply click on the Advanced Search button on the top left hand side to take you straight to the Advanced Search interface. Click on the first drop down menu and select the word "CAS-RN".


CAS Number Entry


Then enter the CAS Number in dialog box to the right. Please note that the CAS numbers in Pharmaceutical Substances must be entered in a certain format (see the frequently asked questions sections of this web page). When the number has been entered (in this example 3688 62 8) simply click on the search button.

Pharmaceutical Substances will then take you directly to the compound entry that is registered with that number. Here it is Aminopromazine.
