RecordContent• NAPRALERT (NAtural PRoducts ALERT) contains bibliographic and factual data on
natural products, including information on the pharmacology, biological activity,
taxonomic distribution, chemistry of plant, microbial, and animal (including marine)
extracts as well as ethnomedicine use records. In addition, the database contains
information on the chemistry and pharmacology of secondary metabolites that arederived from natural sources and that have known structure.
• The records in this file contain bibliographic information and factual data on naturalproducts, including CAS Registry Numbers for many chemical constituents.

File Size

187,821 bibliographic records containing information for over 155,000 natural products
and 181,895 organisms (2/2016)

Coverage• 1650 to 2011
• Approximately 50% of the file is from systematic survey of the literature from 1975 to2011. The remaining records were obtained by selective retrospective indexing datingback to 1650

Updates• Occasional updates as information becomes available• Automatic current-awareness searches (SDIs) are not available
