ChEBI Search

1. Call science_search_chebi with a name, synonym, or ChEBI identifier.
2. Confirm charge, formula, structure, stereochemistry, ontology role, and parent/child relationship before joining sources.
3. Keep salts, mixtures, isotopologues, protonation states, and stereoisomers distinct.
4. Record identifier, endpoint, release/access time, and selected structure with $science-provenance.

Name similarity is not chemical identity. Cross-check PubChem/ChEMBL when a downstream assay or compound record matters.

Source basis: ChEBI web services.
