PubChem Database

Overview

PubChem is the world's largest freely available chemical database with 110M+ compounds and 270M+ bioactivities. Query chemical structures by name, CID, or SMILES, retrieve molecular properties, perform similarity and substructure searches, access bioactivity data using PUG-REST API and PubChemPy.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

Searching for chemical compounds by name, structure (SMILES/InChI), or molecular formula

Retrieving molecular properties (MW, LogP, TPSA, hydrogen bonding descriptors)

Performing similarity searches to find structurally related compounds

Conducting substructure searches for specific chemical motifs

Accessing bioactivity data from screening assays

Converting between chemical identifier formats (CID, SMILES, InChI)

Batch processing multiple compounds for drug-likeness screening or property analysis
