TOXLINE is part of NLM's Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET); it is a bibliographic database for toxicology, a varied science of 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 covers much of the standard journal literature in toxicology; it is complemented with references from an assortment of specialized journals and other sources. TOXNET offers features such as relevancy ranking and flexible sorting and downloading options.
