The Derwent Drug File presents information on all aspects of drug
research and usage.
DDFU selectively covers the worldwide pharmaceutical literature,
papers chosen may cover the chemistry, analysis, pharmaceutics,
pharmacology, metabolism, biochemistry, interactions, therapeutic
effects and toxicity of a drug.
Each document in DDFU contains a detailed abstract written by a
Derwent subject specialist and is accompanied by extensive drug
oriented indexing allowing highly specific retrieval. The Derwent
Drug File will be of particular interest to information specialists
and research scientists working in the pharmaceuticals and health
care industries. DDFU is open to subscribers only. DDNS contains
everything but the extension abstract and is available to all.
Use DDFU/DDNS to research:
- the use of ondansetron to treat cisplatin-induced vomiting.
- the compatibility of ranitidine with antacid preparations.
- structure-activity relationships of pyrimidine nucleoside
anti-HIV agents.
- the use of targeted drug delivery systems for anticancer agents.
- pharmacokinetics of drugs used to treat psoriasis.

Abstract (A1 A2)
The antihypertensive effects of p.o. YM-358 (2,7-diethyl 5-((2'-
(5-tetrazolyl)biphenyl 4-yl)methyl)-5H-pyrazolo (1,5-b)(1,2,4)
triazole potassium salt) were evaluated in conscious rats and
dogs and compared with those of DUP-753. In renal hypertensive
rats (RHR), YM-358 had a sustained antihypertensive effect with a
rapid onset of action, and it lowered mean B.P. (MBP) in
normotensive rats (NTR) and SHR. In contrast, DUP-753 produced an
antihypertensive effect that was extremely slow in onset and long
in duration in SHR and RHR. The antihypertensive activity of
DUP-753 in furosemide-treated dogs (FTD) was modest compared to
YM-358. The results demonstrate that YM-358 is a novel, long-
acting antihypertensive agent in the rat and dog. (congress
abstract).
In 2 kidneys, 1 clip renal RHR (high-renin hypertensive model), a
single p.o. administration of YM-358 (1-30 mg/kg) produced a
dose-dependent reduction in MBP without affecting HR. The
hypotensive effect of YM-358 reached a maximum about 1 hr after
dosing and lasted over 10 hr. Similarly, YM-358 lowered MBP in
NTR and SHR. In contrast, p.o. 3-30 mg/kg DUP-753 produced an
antihypertensive effect that was extremely slow in onset and long
in duration in SHR and RHR. The rank orders of hypotensive
activities of YM-358 and DUP-753 were RHR greater than SHR
greater than NTR. On the other hand, in FTD (high-renin
normotensive model), a single p.o. administration of YM-358 (10
and 30 mg/kg) dose-dependently decreased MBP without affecting
HR. Its duration of action exceeded 8 hr. The antihypertensive
activity of p.o. 10 and 30 mg/kg DUP-753 in FTD was modest
compared to YM-358. (JC)

DE/CT/LT - Descriptors:
A standard name (e.g. INN, USAN, laboratory code) is used to
identify each drug. In addition the pharmacological classification
and the drug activity are also indexed
There are two types of descriptor - Common Terms in the CT field
and Link Terms in the LT field. For most descriptor searches it
is best to qualify to the superlabel DE.
Common Terms (CT) - this contains all those terms that are common to
the whole document. CT may be present in any document where more
than one drug is discussed in the original article. If you know that
the descriptors you are searching are Common Terms then qualify to
CT, otherwise always use DE.
Link Terms (LT) - these are divided into separate indexing fields;
each field containing all the descriptors related to a single drug.
If you know that the descriptors you are searching are Link Terms
then qualify to LT, otherwise always use DE to include any
descriptors that are listed in the Common Terms field.
Always use the SAME operator to link different terms - eg:
CHLOROPROMAZINE SAME PHARMACOKINETICS.DE.
You can use the WITH operator of hyphens to link a descriptor term
to the appropriate drug/disease qualifiers - e.g.:
PARACETAMOL WITH PH.DE.
or:
PARACETAMOL-PH (paragraph qualification not necessary)
This will retrieve documents relating to the pharmacology of
paracetamol.

AE Side effect; toxicity
DI Drug interaction (used for drugs only)
DM Drug metabolism (used for drugs only)

PI Inorganic code/ Physical code
