Problems in searching for chemical information
• There is no consistent way of representing
chemical information in patents
• A chemical compound could be referred to using
any of the following
– A systematic chemical name
– A semi-systematic or trivial chemical name
– A trade or proprietary name or for drugs an approved
name or trial prep code
– A drawn out chemical structure
– As one possibility within a generic chemical structure
– As one possibility when only a generic class of
compounds is referred to
Cellosolve could be represented as ….
• 2-ETHOXYETHANOL
• CELLOSOLVE;
• EKTASOLUE-EE
• 2-ETHOXYETHANOL,
• ETHOXYETHANOL-2;
• ETHOXYETHANOL-BETA;
• ETHYLENE GLYCOL ETHYL
• ETHYLENE GLYCOL
MONOETHYL ETHER;
• POLY-SOLV-EE

Solution : DWPI structural indexing
• There are 3 main types
– Derwent Chemistry Resource (DCR) Indexing
– Markush Indexing
– BCE Fragmentation codes - (Now auto-generated from Markush
or DCR indexing to ensure consistency)
• In each case our analysts create the indexing by
reading through the document and converting the chemical structural information into the appropriate type of indexing using clearly defined rules ensuring consistent representation
• In addition structural manual codes from Sections B, C
& E can be of limited assistance in some cases
Benefits of DWPI indexing - concrete example
• Search on Diclofenac or its most common
synonyms (Voltarol or Voltaren) using Key words in DWPI title & abstract - Find 2748 documents
• Search on Diclofenac via DCR record – We find
– 414 of these were not found by the keyword search
• Search on Diclofenac via BCE Fragmentation
codes – We find 2763 documents
– 1136 of these were not found by the keyword search
– Hits include cases were diclofenac is a possible structure
covered by a Markush formula
Some of the inventions found only by the keyword search are of minimal interest e.g. Device for disposing transdermal analgesic patch with e.g. pharmaceutical
product, from patient by doctor, has non-linear patch disposal slot extending through containment, and transdermal patch placed within internal chamber
NOVELTY - The device has an internal chamber placed within a containment. A
non-linear patch disposal slot extends completely through the containment and accesses the internal chamber. A transdermal patch is placed within the internal chamber. The containment comprises a wall that comprises the patch disposal slot.
USE - Device for disposing a transdermal analgesic patch with pharmaceutical
product from a patient by a doctor. Uses include but are not limited to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ketoprofen, diclofenac, flurbiprofen and ibuprofen, steroids such as testosterone and estradiol, psychoactive drugs such as buspirone, vitamin such as vitamin 812, vasodilators such as nitroglycerin and nicotine.
ADVANTAGE - The device has a cover aperture sized and/or configured to reduce
potential of the transdermal patch to be removed from a compartment and to impede ability of an individual to remove the transdermal patch from the compartment, thus reducing the potential to withdraw the transdermal patch back out of the internal chamber through the patch disposal slot, and hence facilitating disposal of transdermal patches contained with the internal chamber.
But ones found only by DCR search are highly relevant
• Multicomponent crystals useful e.g. for treating and
preventing acute and chronic pain comprise (2-amino-6-(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-pyridin-3-yl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester and 2-(2-((2,6-dichlorophenyl)-amino)-phenyl)-acetic acid
NOVELTY – Multi-component crystals comprise((2-amino-6-
(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-pyridin-3-yl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester
and 2-(2-((2,6-dichlorophenyl)-amino)-phenyl)-acetic acid.
ADVANTAGE - The multicomponent crystals: are stable and
easy to formulate; exhibit physicochemical properties which influence e.g. solubility, stability, hygroscopicity, handling and tabletting; and does not exhibit typical problems of physical mixtures i.e. different bioavailability or decomposition during the production.

DWPI PATENT COVERAGE
• Pharmaceutical (Section B)
– Patents stated to be of pharmaceutical or
veterinary interest, as well as those that refer to compounds used as intermediates in the manufacture of pharmaceutical or veterinary products.
– Patents on compositions used for diagnosis
or analysis in the pharmaceutical and/or veterinary fields (e.g. stains for bacterial pathogens).
– Patents on artificial sweeteners, chemical
warfare agents, and plaque-disclosing compositions.
– Patents dealing with the production of
formulations, e.g. tablets, pills, capsules, suppositories, aerosols, etc. Also patents on devices specifically designed for dispensing pharmaceuticals, e.g. syringes, child-proof closures, calendar pill boxes, aerosol devices, etc.
DWPI PATENT COVERAGE
• Agricultural and veterinary (section C)
Pest control agents such as insecticides, miticides, rodenticides, molluscicides, slugicides, vermicides (nematocides, anthelmintics, etc.), pest repellents and attractants, and soil fumigants. Also biological control using microorganisms, predators, or natural products.

Veterinary products such as disease control agents, nutritional agents, and veterinary vaccines.
DWPI PATENT COVERAGE
• General chemistry (Section E)
• Any non-polymeric chemical compound not exclusively used as a
pharmaceutical or agrochemical, as well as the apparatus and novel catalysts for producing them. For example, compounds used in cosmetics, fuels, dyes and more).
• Includes their production, purification, use, detection, removal, and
Monomers taking part in a polymerisation reaction unless the patent is concerned with the production or purification of the monomer
Starting materials for a chemical reaction unless the patent is concerned with the production or purification of the starting material.
Polymerisation catalysts are not normally classified in Section E unless the novelty of the invention is the catalyst.
Mixtures of compounds described as a cut (i.e. hydrocarbon feedstock) in a petrochemical process (usually)
Highly complex, non-stoichiometric compounds, e.g. those used as fluorescent materials, might not bem but simpler compounds normally are.
Solvents and very common reagents, e.g. water
Metals in their elemental form or alloys thereof
– THE PROBLEM; WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO SEARCH
CHEMICAL STRUCTURES IN PATENTS?
– SOLUTION; DWPI STRUCTURAL INDEXING – DWPI PATENT COVERAGE – COMPOUND COVERAGE – WHICH COMPOUNDS ARE
– COMPOUND COVERAGE – WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE COMPOUNDS IS COVERED?
– STRUCTURE OF A DCR RECORD
– CHEMICAL STRUCTURE SEARCH EXAMPLE – CHEMICAL FRAGMENTATION CODE SEARCH EXAMPLE – MULTIFILE STRUCTURE SEARCH EXAMPLE
Compound coverage – Which compounds are indexed?
• The following compounds are selected for indexing
– all compounds claimed to be new, including both specific
compounds and Markush structures
– known products produced by a new process
– known compounds having a new use
– components of compositions
– novel catalysts and known specific catalysts
– known specific reagents and starting materials in production
– materials detected, detecting agents, detection media
– materials recovered or purified in new ways
– materials removed and removing agents
COMPOUND COVERAGE – WHICH COMPOUNDS ARE COVERED?
The following specific structures are also indexed with the Derwent
Chemistry Resource
• All claimed compounds up to a maximum of 99. This number is
reduced if a Markush is also needed. (Max no. of DCR + Markush records =99.).
• At least 1 example, which should be the best example illustrating the
invention (usually the one in the abstract). If the abstract (best) example is also claimed, then another should be selected.
• Further examples input at analysts discretion, but more should be
selected if there are examples which are structurally dissimilar from those claimed, but still representative of the Markush.
• Selected examples should be "real" not prophetic; i.e. should have
supporting data such as preparative data, activity data etc.
• Compounds from the disclosure can be indexed at the Analysts
discretion. Usually these would be if there are no (or few) claimed or exemplified compounds, or if there are novel disclosed compounds that are not claimed.
COMPOUND COVERAGE – WHICH COMPOUNDS ARE COVERED?
The following specific structures are also indexed with Derwent
Registry numbers
• This is a list of 2080 commonly used compounds
• Significant compounds or significant non-metallic elements
mentioned in the claims or examples
– An example of an insignificant compound is a solvent mentioned in
a process in which any solvent may be used.
• These have been indexed since 1981 but all have
corresponding DCR records which will give the same number of hits as a DRN search
More details are in "CPI Chemical Indexing Guidelines Indexing of
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Patents",
How does coverage differ between the types of indexing
• B CE fragmentation codes cover both Markush (generic) structures and
specific compounds back to 1963 (Section B), 1965 (Section C) or 1970 (section E)
• DCR covers specific compounds only back to 1999/2000 (for
comprehensive coverage) or as far back as 1981 for selected compounds
– Precursor database - Derwent registry numbers (DRN) go back to 1981
– Precursor database – Derwent Compound Numbers (DCN) goes back to
• MMS goes back as far as 1987 and covers both generic compounds and
specific compounds
– MMS structures can not be searched on STN but the compound numbers you get as
answers from an MMS search do form part of the records and can be searched on STN
– Patents with MMS indexing are tagged with the fragmentation code M904
COMPOUND COVERAGE – WHICH COMPOUNDS ARE COVERED?
, for example where R1=H,
R2=H [i.e. Penicillin G]

– DETAILED LOOK AT BCE FRAGMENTATION CODES – DETAILED LOOK AT DCR – STRUCTURAL MANUAL CODES
– CHEMICAL STRUCTURE SEARCH EXAMPLE – CHEMICAL FRAGMENTATION CODE SEARCH EXAMPLE – MULTIFILE STRUCTURE SEARCH EXAMPLE
BCE Fragmentation coding
This is a system which uses alphanumeric codes to describe a chemical structure in terms of the fragments present and how they are connected
• It has been applied to pharmaceutical patents since 1963,
agrochemical patents since 1965 and general chemistry patents since 1970
• Both generic (markush) and specific compounds are covered
by this indexing
• Search strategy can be generated using software present in
STN express by drawing a structure query
Fragmentation codes example
Aromatic Thioether (H594)
Also 2 aromatic rings linked via S (M122 & M142)
Two aromatic halogens (H642)Which are Fluroine (H601)
her notable features coverd by codes
Napthalene ring has one substituent at the beta position (G021)Benzene ring has 3 substituents at positions 1,2 & 4 (G015)A total of 2 aromatic rings (M532)No carbon chains of any type present (M280 & M320)No heterocyclic rings present (M510 & M520)No alicyclic rings present (M540)Compound is classed as aromatic (M414)
But that is not all
• In addition the following non-structural fragmentation codes can also be
applied to a structure to describe how it fits into the invention
– Role of the compound in the invention (e.g. compound is produced by the
inventive process (M720)) – All structures will have at least one of these applied
– Pharmaceutical / agrochemical activities (e.g. Hypotensive (P526)) –
applied only to active substances that possess this activity
– Chemical or physical property of substance relevant to the invention (e.g.
surfactant (Q616)) – applied when relevant
– Area of technology the invention is related to (e.g. Detergents (Q273)) –
Applied when relevant
– Process conditions / description (e.g. C-Hal bond broken (N225) or reaction
temperature below 10⁰C (N511) ) – mandatory when the substance is produced, detected or removed
– Physical form of a composition / formulation (e.g. Crystalline form (R032)) –
applied to all claimed non-pharmaceutical compositions
"Galenical" indexing for pharmaceutical patents
• In pharmaceutical patents when the dosage form of
a drug or it's means of production is the inventive feature a separate paragraph of indexing is created to describe this
• The codes added describe the following
– The physical form of the formulation (e.g. Capsule (R031))
– The mode of administration (e.g. Oral (R280))
– Any non-active components which are significant features
of the invention (e.g. Coating (R307))
– If the invention is about manufacturing the formulation any
physical process used in the manufacture (e.g. grinding (R525))
What this means you can do
• So with fragmentation codes (or a combination of
fragmentation codes and DCR) you can do all of the following
– Search for a substance produced by a specific chemical reaction
(e.g. cyclohexene produced by dehydrogenation) or under specific conditions (e.g. convert graphite into diamond at room temperature and pressure)
– Search for the original product patent of a drug (using New role
in DCR or BCE fragmentation code M710)
– Search for drugs used for treating a particular condition (e.g.
diclofenac to treat arthritis)
– Search for a substance used in a particular technology area (e.g.
Compounds containing a quinoline ring used in detergents)
– Search for patents about drugs administered in a particular
dosage form (e.g, oral administration of insulin)
Example patent for oral administration of paclitaxel
• Title Stable oral pharmaceutical composition of taxoid for administration to a • mammal comprises taxoids, solubilizer, stabilizing agent, surfactants,
• solvents and oil
• M6 *01* Q615 Q616 Q620 R111 R280 R315 R319 M905 Indexing for oral administration
• M2 *12* D021 D024 D025 D026 D030 D220 G010 G019 G100 H4 H403 H462 H481
• H8 J0 J014 J2 J221 J231 J262 J3 J331 J5 J561 M1 M123 M136 M210

M412 M431 M511 M520 M533 M540 M782 M800 M905 M904
• DCN: R18653-K R18653-M
DCR record and fragmentation codes for paclitaxel
• DCR: 103128-K 103128-M
• To find this record first search for Paclitaxel patents (see part 2 of this presentation) snd
then combine your answer set with the R2xx code (e.g. if your answer set was L2 then S L2 And R280/M6
Why use DWPI fragmentation codes?
• Retrieve hits which cannot be picked up easily by keywords
– due to chemical nomenclature, synonyms, generic disclosures,
chemical structure representations etc.
• Retrieve information not found in the online abstract
– full patent specification and DWPI documentation abstract is used
• Index of Markush and specific compounds in DWPI back to
– a larger backfile of Markush indexing than either MMS or MARPAT
• No structure search charge

DWPI Chemistry Resource (DCR)
• This is a database of specific chemical substances mentioned in
• They are also organised into families of closely related compounds as
– basic compound
– salts, isotopes, mixtures, isomers
• Substance records include structure diagrams and substance data, e.g.
– IUPAC-name, synonyms
– molecular formula, molecular weight
• The DCR numbers are associated with the relevant fragmentation
codes for the substance so they can be searched in conjunction with non-structural fragmentation codes
• They also have roles associated with them (e.g. produced, detected)so
that you can limit your answers by the role of the compound

– Elements present
– Number of fragments present
– Compound class (only for those classes of structures that
are hard to define in terms of a structural query such as terpenes or alkaloids)
Substance descriptors
• Certain classes of substance have special keywords applied
to them called substance structures
• These are applied to every substance that is of that type and
in addition a blank record called a substance descriptor record is indexed for any patent which refers to this class of substance without giving a specific example
• To search for these use the /CC field
– S metallocenes/cc
– Will retrieve all records in which metallocenes are indexed even
if no specific compounds are given

BCE structural manual codes
• These are applied to all patents classified in
Sections B, C or E that contain chemical structures as an important feature of the invention
• They provide a high level summary of the chemical
content only based on identifying the most significant chemical group present in a structure
• However certain codes can be very useful
– B04-A03 Ergot alkaloids
– E31-H01 removal of nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases
When structural codes may be useful – natural products
• Vitamin's in Pharmaceutical patents
• Certain classes of alkaloid (Belladonna, Cinchona,
Ergot, Opium, Rauwolfia & Xanthines)
• Nucleosides & nucleotides
• Prostaglandins
• Polysaccharides such as starch and chondroitin
• Peptides & Proteins
When structural codes may be useful – inorganic compounds
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Common non-metallic elements e.g.Hydrogen,
halogens, oxygen, carbon (separate codes for different allotropes), Silicon, Boron
• Phosphoric acid & Boric acid
• Nitrogen and Sulfur oxides
• Nanoparticles

Searches may be refined using roles
• "Roles" in DWPI describe the function of a
compound in the patent, e.g.
‒ Compound is prepared, purified or part of a mixture
‒ Compound is claimed or from the examples
• DCR compounds can have two types of roles
assigned in DWPI
‒ 2-3-letter codes in the IT-display (DCR Roles)
‒ Single-letter codes in the CMC display (DCN Roles)
• Roles can be linked to DCR numbers in the DCR
search field using the (T)-proximity operator

Chemical fragmentation code search example
Search Question:
Search for DWPI patent references to all
carbapenem derivatives of substructure (I)
How to run a fragmentation code search
1. Draw & save the structure query in WPI format
2. Select Query and Generate WPI strategy from the
main STN Express window
3. Select the fields to be searched, e.g. /M0,M2, and
the strategy is generated and saved
4. Logon to STN, access WPIDS or WPIX, then
select Query and Run Command File
5. Select the command file – this runs line-by-line
automatically – and review the results
Open, Draw and save the query structure in "WPI" format
Open a new WPI format drawing window.
Draw and save the WPI structure.
Note: By convention, unlike an STN
structure search, all unsubstituted
positions are assumed to be H.
Alternatively a standard format structure can be converted to a WPI format structure
A standard STN structure query can usually be converted to WPI format, for generating a fragmentation code query.
Use STN Express to generate the fragmentation code script
Select the search fields (subheadings) and generate the fragmentation codes
STN Express search field options:
/M2 1970-date Pharma/agrochem /M3 1970-date Other chemicals (excl. M4) /M4 1970-date Dyes & pigments
Other fragmentation code fields
1970-date Natural products
1963-1999 Steroids
1976-date Galenicals/formulations
DWPI fragmentation code strategy is generated in Command File format
Tip: Check that any manual edits
you make are valid codes, with
Utilities, Check Command File.
