Fact Sheet
TOXLINE®

The TOXLINE database (https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/newtoxnet/toxline.htm) is the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) bibliographic database for toxicology, a varied science encompassing many disciplines. TOXLINE records provide bibliographic information covering the biochemical, pharmacological, physiological, and toxicological effects of drugs and other chemicals. It contains over 4 million bibliographic citations, most with abstracts and/or indexing terms and CAS Registry Numbers.
