Metabolism is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms[1]. Herbicides are pesticides used to kill unwanted plants [2]. Herbicide metabolism exists not only in living organisms but also in the environment (outside of living organisms). In the world, there are many researchers who study metabolites of one or several herbicides by chemical or biological approaches and publish their observations.  In order to make use of these results efficiently, herbicide metabolism database was considered. Herein, design of data structure of the database, collection of metabolism data, normalization of the data and extract chemical reactions based on the data in the database were presented. The functions: chemical structure and reaction searches are included in the database. Now, information about metabolism of 180 herbicides was included in the database and also was used to predict metabolites of herbicides.Reference [1]http://baike.baidu.com/link?url=zkwzh6mwQSFWK351IIW3_wqBlvL8YEUh-LivC9eBtTdvEzlbkO2QR2LCzZgYYlDZ, [2] Kellogg RL, Nehring R, Grube A, Goss DW, and Plotkin S (February 2000). �Environmental indicators of pesticide leaching and runoff farm fields� United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service.
