This guide presents the databases for use with the DDPM class for the reverse engineering project.

Resources

SciFinder Scholar: Limit to patents, as patents are great sources for information on chemistry and manufacturing processes..  Find manufacturing of drugs and devices.  This is a great place to start looking for information about your drug product’s active ingredients, formulation, and excipients because it covers the chemical literature and patent literature.

US Pharmacopeia General Chapters contain analytical standards, assays and quality control information.
