# Compound Sources Search

Lists all the sources where a particular compound can be found. A compound can be searched by a given InChI, InChI Key, source compound ID or a UniChEM Identifier (UCI)

{% hint style="warning" %}
The image representation in the Searched Compound card is an approximated depiction of the found molecule. It might not represent exactly the found compound. For a better image of the compound please follow the link to one of the found sources.
{% endhint %}

### InChI and InChIKey

Find the sources linked to the [IUPAC international chemical identifier ](https://iupac.org/who-we-are/divisions/division-details/inchi/)for your compound or its hashed InChI form.&#x20;

### Source Compound ID

Compounds can be found by the ID assigned on a source database, simply select the Source of the compound and in the box right next to the selector enter the ID for that particular compound in the given Source.

### UniChEM Identifier (UCI)

The UCI (UniChEM Identifier) is the number we use to identify a distinct compound with its linked sources in our database.

### Compound Name

Certain sources uses drug names to identify a compound allowing searches using names for some compounds.

Results will be fetch from matching Compound IDs on the following sources:

* Gene Expression Atlas
* DailyMed
* RxNorm
* Clinical Trials
