Area of Science:

  • Pharmaceutical Sciences
  • Intellectual Property Law
  • Chemical Information Science

Background:

  • The French Patent and Trademark Office (INPI) developed PHARMSEARCH to manage pharmaceutical patent information.
  • Existing patent databases may lack specialized structure-search capabilities for pharmaceutical compounds.
  • Comprehensive indexing of chemical structures and associated data is crucial for patent analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the structure and content of the PHARMSEARCH database.
  • To explain the indexing policies and search functionalities, particularly for Markush structures.
  • To highlight the utility of PHARMSEARCH for researchers in the pharmaceutical field.

Main Methods:

  • PHARMSEARCH database construction and content acquisition from European, French, and US patent offices.

  • Utilization of Markush DARC software for searching variable generic (Markush) and specific chemical structures.
  • Application of chemical index terms for moiety description, therapeutic activities, and preparation processes.

    • Main Results:

    • PHARMSEARCH contains pharmaceutical patents from November 1986 onward.
    • The database includes MPHARM (structure file) and PHARM (bibliographic file).
    • Detailed indexing covers chemical structures, therapeutic applications, and synthesis methods.

    Conclusions:

    • PHARMSEARCH provides a specialized resource for searching pharmaceutical patents using chemical structures.
    • The database facilitates in-depth analysis of patented pharmaceutical innovations.
    • Effective indexing policies ensure comprehensive data retrieval for scientific and legal purposes.
