findCompound

Free

Resolve a chemical or drug identifier to PubChem compound IDs (CIDs). Names include brand names (Lipitor), INN/generic names, synonyms, CAS registry numbers and code names. Brand names often resolve to a salt form (e.g. a mesylate); parentCids then gives the active parent compound, which is the one to use for bioassays and ChEMBL/target lookups. Use the CIDs with getCompoundProperties, getCompoundSynonyms (ChEMBL/DrugBank/UNII/CAS IDs), getBioassaySummary or getCompoundAnnotations.
