NAPRALERT. computer-handling of natural product research data.
25, 99-103.
charter NAPRALERT seeks to computerize all references to the isolation of
chemical compounds from living organisms and/or the pharmacology
of natural products pure or crude. All chemicals isolated from
living organisms are cross referenced with their pharmacological
and biological sources. Chemotaxonomy is supported as extreme
care is placed on taxonomic and chemical nomenclature. The
chemical compound citations have an emphasis on secondary
metabolites and the taxonomy citations are primarily for plants
and bacteria.
