UniChem Search Compound

Search UniChem for a chemical compound by InChIKey, source compound ID, or UCI (UniChem Compound Identifier). Returns cross-references to the compound across 40+ chemical databases including ChEMBL, DrugBank, PDBe, PubChem, KEGG, ChEBI, HMDB, and more. UniChem is EBI's unified chemical cross-referencing service. Example: searching InChIKey 'BSYNRYMUTXBXSQ-UHFFFAOYSA-N' (aspirin) returns mappings to CHEMBL25, DB00945, C01405, etc.
