Reviews play a pivotal part in present day research. However, patent searching is a tedious job. I want to write a review on anti-diabetic compounds. I want to add patented anti-diabetic compounds (between 2012-2014). Patents searching in free patents online is very ambiguous and lead to numerous information. I want to focus my search on compounds structures which are patented for anti-diabetic therapy. Is there any database which collects all the updated information on patented compounds and easy to search?
If you have access to use Reaxys or SciFinder/STN search, it will provide you all the newly registered patents as well as non-patented literature. Once you find the patent number then you can check it with freepatentsonline. I have accessed one week fresh patent/patent application/PCT application through that.
I am also interested to know, if there is any other alternatives.
The most specialized database sources for this specific field sem to be the STN/Chamical Abstract Service (Chemical Abstracts Service (www.cas.org), a division of the American Chemical Society). Summaries available here.

CAS/SciFinder/STN requires subscription. The amount is quite high.
Yes, the STN/Chamical Abstract Service is best accessed on an institutional basis, but it never hurts to ask for special pricing for overseas institutions/researchers...
