alterlab-pubchem
From the author
Query PubChem via the PUG-REST API and PubChemPy across 119M+ compounds, searching by name, CID, or SMILES and retrieving molecular properties, bioactivity, and similarity/substructure matches. Use when looking up a chemical compound, converting names/SMILES to CIDs, fetching physicochemical properties, or running cheminformatics structure searches.

- pubchem-compound-searchjaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsQuery PubChem (110M+ compounds) directly via the PUG-REST/JSON API with plain `requests` — no SDK install required. Search by name/CID/SMILES/InChIKey/formula, retrieve properties (MW, XLogP, TPSA, H-bond counts), do similarity/substructure searches with async ListKey polling, fetch synonyms, descriptions, assay summaries, and download SDF/PNG. For local cheminformatics use rdkit; for bioactivity-centric workflows use chembl-database-bioactivity.Data★ 383
- alterlab-pubmedAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsProvide direct REST API access to PubMed via the NCBI E-utilities API, supporting advanced Boolean/MeSH queries, batch processing, and citation management. Use when searching biomedical literature by MeSH terms, retrieving abstracts or PMIDs in bulk, or scripting custom PubMed queries over raw HTTP/REST — for Python workflows prefer biopython (Bio.Entrez) instead, use this for direct REST work or custom API implementations. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Engineering★ 78
- alterlab-zinc-dbAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsAccess the ZINC database of 230M+ commercially available (purchasable) compounds, searching by ZINC ID or SMILES, running similarity searches, and downloading 3D-ready structures. Use when assembling a compound library for virtual screening, finding purchasable analogs, or obtaining docking-ready 3D structures for drug discovery. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Data★ 78
- unichem-databasejaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsCross-reference compound IDs across 20+ databases (ChEMBL, DrugBank, PubChem, ChEBI, PDB, SureChEMBL, HMDB, DrugCentral, BindingDB) via UniChem REST API. Resolve InChIKeys to source IDs, translate between source-specific IDs, find structurally related compounds by connectivity. POST with a JSON body for all cross-reference queries; only /sources is GET. No auth required.Data★ 383
- metabolomics-workbench-databasejaechang-hits/SciAgent-SkillsQuery Metabolomics Workbench REST API (4,200+ NIH studies) for metabolite ID, study discovery, RefMet standardization, m/z precursor searches, and gene/protein annotations. Quirks: compound input_item rejects `name` (use pubchem_cid/kegg_id/inchi_key/etc.); free-text → compound is a two-step refmet/match→refmet/name flow; moverz endpoint returns TSV text, not JSON. Use hmdb-database for local XML; pubchem-compound-search for general compound lookup.Data★ 383
- alterlab-medchemAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsApplies medicinal-chemistry filters with the medchem library — drug-likeness rules (Lipinski, Veber), PAINS filters, structural alerts, and molecular complexity metrics for compound prioritization and library cleanup. Use when filtering or triaging a compound library, flagging PAINS or reactive groups, or assessing drug-likeness of candidate molecules. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.Science★ 78
