Metabolights Get Reference Compound
Retrieve a record from the MetaboLights Reference Compound database (the curated metabolite/compound catalogue, accessions MTBLC*). Pass a compound_id like 'MTBLC10' to get that compound's name, description, molecular formula, InChI, InChIKey, ChEBI ID, IUPAC names, study status, species (metSpecies), cross-references, and boolean flags for available data (hasNMR, hasMS, hasPathways, hasReactions, hasSpecies, hasLiterature). Example: MTBLC10 -> {name:'(+)-Atherospermoline', formula:'C36H38N2O6'…
Overview
Retrieve a record from the MetaboLights Reference Compound database (the curated metabolite/compound catalogue, accessions MTBLC*). Pass a compound_id like 'MTBLC10' to get that compound's name, description, molecular formula, InChI, InChIKey, ChEBI ID, IUPAC names, study status, species (metSpecies), cross-references, and boolean flags for available data (hasNMR, hasMS, hasPathways, hasReactions, hasSpecies, hasLiterature). Example: MTBLC10 -> {name:'(+)-Atherospermoline', formula:'C36H38N2O6', chebiId:'CHEBI:10', inchikey:'XGEAUXVPBXUBKN-NSOVKSMOSA-N'}. This is distinct from study metadata (metabolights_get_study). To enumerate all reference-compound accessions, set list=true (returns the full MTBLC* id list).
