Dr. Duke's Phytochemicals and Ethnobotanical Chemicals

Abstract:

These Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical databases offer convenient search functionalities for plants, chemicals, bioactivity, and ethnobotany. They cover a wide range of plants and their chemical profiles, allowing users to browse and search in various user-oriented ways. This is a resource that caters to pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nutritional researchers, looking to improve the treatment of diseases in a natural way.  The data originates from extensive compilations by a former Chief of USDA's Economic Botany Laboratory, specifically their Handbook of phytochemical constituents of GRAS herbs and other economic plants. Users can download a PDF or spreadsheet format containing chemical lists and their known activities. 

Instruction: 

Data was cleaned and duplicates were removed.

Inspiration:

The dataset was uploaded to UBRITE for "DGR_DEPOT” summer 2023 team project.
