Dr. Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases is an online database developed by

USDA
.

The databases report species,

ethnobotanical uses.[1]

The current Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical databases facilitate plant, chemical, bioactivity, and ethnobotany searches. A large number of plants and their chemical profiles are covered, and data are structured to support browsing and searching in several user-focused ways. For example, users can

  • get a list of chemicals and activities for a specific plant of interest, using either its scientific or common name
  • download a list of chemicals and their known activities in PDF or spreadsheet form
  • find plants with chemicals known for a specific biological activity
  • display a list of chemicals with their LD toxicity data
  • find plants with potential cancer-preventing activity
  • display a list of plants for a given ethnobotanical use
  • find out which plants have the highest levels of a specific chemical

References to the supporting scientific publications are provided for each specific result. Also included are links to nutritional databases, plants and cancer treatments and other plant-related databases.
