What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you discover structurally similar chemical compounds for a given target molecule so you can identify analogs, alternative precursors, and candidate replacements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PubChem 2D fast similarity search: Queries PubChem’s fastsimilarity_2d endpoint to rank related compounds by 2D molecular fingerprint similarity.
  • SMILES- or CID-based querying: Accepts either a SMILES string or an exact PubChem CID to reduce input friction and parsing ambiguity.
  • Structured results export: Saves matched compounds with CID, canonical/absolute SMILES, IUPAC name, formula, molecular weight, and PubChem URLs for downstream selection.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to search PubChem for compounds similar to aspirin using CID 2244 with a similarity threshold of 95 and save the top 5 matches to your chosen output folder.
