Abstract: A lot of metabolomics database have been established after a long exploration and accumulation,they all have their own pros and cons though these databases are different on technical methods as well as collected and published data. This paper introduces several open metabolomics databases used for looking for novel natural active substances,mainly focusing on the technologies for establishing databases,the amount of data in databases,and how to access databases and seek information,etc. Concurrently,we also give some improvement suggestions for perfecting these databases in the future.

Key words: natural active substances, efficient gas phase, high performance liquid phase, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), metabolomics
