Retrieving Information from Web of Science

Research Topic: Synthesis and evaluation of (i) potential inhibitors of cPLA2 and (ii) a fluorescence substrate of cPLA2 for imaging purposes Look for different variations of the keywords “cytosolic PLA2” Use phrase searching cPLA2 / cytosolic PLA2 fluorescence / fluorogenic Find the synonyms of the keywords fluorescen* OR fluorogen* Use Boolean operators cPLA2, inhibitors, fluorescence Identify the keywords in the topic

Construct the search statement cPLA2 OR “cytosolic PLA2” inhibit* OR fluorescen* OR fluorogen* AND Research Topic: Synthesis and evaluation of (i) potential inhibitors of cPLA2 and (ii) a fluorescence substrate of cPLA2 for imaging purposes
