LOTUS (naturaL prOducTs occUrrence databaSe)
LOTUS (naturaL prOducTs occUrrence databaSe) is an open knowledge base of referenced structure-organism pairs for natural products research. It harmonizes, curates, and validates hundreds of thousands of documented natural product occurrences, linking chemical structures to the organisms in which they were reported together with the supporting literature references. LOTUS data are disseminated openly and are hosted on Wikidata, mirrored at lotus.naturalproducts.net, and released as frozen tabular snapshots on Zenodo.
