World Drug Index (WDI)

The World Drug Index is an authoritative index for marketed and development drugs created by Thomson Reuters. With internationally-recognized drug names, synonyms, trade names, trivial names and trial preparation codes in one source, plus compound structures and activity data, it is ideal for finding chemical information relating to drug research and marketing queries.

The WDI represents the de facto standard source of information on marketed and development drugs worldwide. Building the WDI into our Field-based products and services allows us to provide the most comprehensive set of information on pharmaceutical products and development candidates to our customers.

The combination of Cresset’s Field-based tools with the WDI content gives a new and insightful tool to find compounds that share an activity but whose similarity would not have been obvious using any other method.

Cresset offers virtual screening, hit finding and bioisostere identification products and services based on WDI.
