Metabolite Search

Search for metabolites by compound name or molecular formula via PubChem. Returns up to 10 matching compounds with PubChem CID, name, formula, molecular weight, and SMILES. Use search_type='name' for name/keyword search (default) or search_type='formula' for exact molecular formula search (e.g., C6H12O6).
