We present the database of maser sources in H2O, OH and SiO lines that can be
used to identify and study variable stars at evolved stages. Detecting the
maser emission in H2O, OH and SiO molecules toward infrared-excess objects is
one of the methods of identification long-period variables (LPVs, including
Miras and Semi-Regular), because these stars exhibit maser activity in their
circumstellar shells. Our sample contains 1803 known LPV objects. 46% of these
stars (832 objects) manifest maser emission in the line of at least one
molecule: H2O, OH or SiO. We use the database of circumstellar masers in order
to search for long-periodic variables which are not included in the General
Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS). Our database contains 4806 objects (3866
objects without associations in GCVS catalog) with maser detection in at least
one molecule. Therefore it is possible to use the database in order to locate
and study the large sample of long-period variable stars. Entry to the database
