chemicals which, since 1970, have been mentioned in a significant
way in journals indexed in Index Medicus and in MEDLINE, one of
the National Library of Medicine's on-line databases. It permits
users of Index Medicus to locate the Medical Subject Headings
under which citations referring to a more specific chemical can
be found.

A sample Supplementary Chemical Records entry follows:

pirenzepin
(RN) 29868-97-1
(SY) L-S 519
(SY) gastrozepin
(SY) pirenzepin
(SY) LS 519
(HM) *BENZODIAZEPINONES
(PA) HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTOR BLOCKADERS
(PA) ANTI-ULCER AGENTS
(PA) GASTROINTESTINAL AGENTS
(PA) PARASYMPATHOLYTICS
(NO) stress ulcer-inhibiting agent; structure

pirenzepine see pirenzepin

The term in the HM field tells the Index Medicus user to look for
citations on pirenzepin under BENZODIAZEPINONES. The PA field
suggests pharmacological action terms under which citations about
this chemical may also be found. Synonyms (SY) are
cross-referenced in the publication, e.g., gastrozepin see
pirenzepin.
