The TOXLINE database (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?TOXLINE) 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 3 million bibliographic citations, most with abstracts and/or indexing terms and CAS Registry Numbers. TOXLINE references are drawn from various sources grouped into two parts--TOXLINE Core and TOXLINE Special. A standard search of TOXLINE retrieves records from both subsets. Users can also limit retrieval to only one.
TOXLINE CoreTOXLINE Core covers much of the standard journal literature in toxicology. A search link to TOXLINE Core is available from the TOXLINE interface on TOXNET® as described below. It is also directly available through the PubMed® system by selecting "toxicology" as a subset Limit.
TOXLINE SpecialToxline Special is available on the TOXNET system at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov, and complements TOXLINE Core with references from an assortment of specialized journals and other sources listed below.
