> Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, a $1.4 billion Life Science and High Technology
> company, has launched the Bioactive Nutrient Explorer an Internet-based tool
> specifically designed to help medical researchers, pharmacologists,
> nutrition and animal scientists, and analytical chemists studying dietary
> plants and supplements locate the chemicals and kits they need to support
> their work. This novel website is the first of its kind in the industry,
> July 2005.
>
>
> In addition to simple product searches, the Bioactive Nutrient Explorer
> includes searches that identify chemicals by plant source and plants
> containing specific compounds. Convenient resources include a
> common-to-Latin conversion function for plant names, as well as a database
> of compounds organized by structure to identify related chemicals.
>
> "The study of diet as it relates to health and disease is receiving greater
> focus as the U.S. population ages and as more consumers adopt nutritional
> supplements as a means to improve overall health," observed Libby Yunger,
> Ph.D., the developer of the Bioactive Nutrient Explorer. "In addition,
> pharmaceutical companies are returning to plants used in traditional
> medicine as potential sources of new drug candidates. Sigma is poised to
> become a leading supplier to these researchers with our innovative products
> for plant biotechnology, our extensive offering of research biochemicals,
> and our kits and reagents for food and nutrient analysis. The Bioactive
> Nutrient Explorer is a bridge that helps scientists identify key components
> of herbs and foodstuffs that may be linked to improved human health or to
> the prevention of specific diseases such as cancer."
