Pubchem name question #9

Closed bgyori closed 2 years ago

bgyori commented 2 years ago

When looking up https://biolookup.io/api/lookup/pubchem.compound:4896, I get

{
  "identifier": "4896",
  "name": "Orapred",
  "prefix": "pubchem.compound",
  "providers": {
    "biolookup": "http://biolookup.io/pubchem.compound:4896",
    "bioregistry": "https://bioregistry.io/pubchem.compound:4896",
    "default": "https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/4896",
    "miriam": "https://identifiers.org/pubchem.compound:4896",
    "n2t": "https://n2t.net/pubchem.compound:4896"
  },
  "query": "pubchem.compound:4896",
  "success": true
}

but at https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/4896 I actually see a different (much longer) name and in fact Orapred doesn't appear anywhere on the page. What could be going on here?

Next week I will look back into deploying the new version of this service that has synonyms as well, maybe that will give us some insight. It’s also possible the title has been updated since the last deploy

http://biolookup.io/api/lookup/pubchem.compound:4896 is now better reflecting what's on the new page. There's no mention of Orapred there, but it can be found in synonyms of this entry in the pubchem.substance database https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/134975392.
