Metabolite Get Diseases

Get curated disease associations for a metabolite using CTD (Comparative Toxicogenomics Database). Accepts HMDB ID, compound name, or PubChem CID. Resolves the identifier to PubChem to get the canonical compound name, then queries CTD for chemical-disease associations with direct evidence. Returns disease name, disease ID (MeSH), disease categories, direct evidence type (marker/mechanism), and supporting PubMed IDs.
