That seems like such a reasonable request, but it wasn't a design
criterion, so we don't keep track explicitly. You should be able to
figure out which subset a compound _should_ belong to based on its
properties. You can also simply download the files and grep for it. The
ready-to-download subsets are static exports from the database, which
itself is updated daily.  The subsets are often weeks or months old, so
changes (adds/deletes) may have occurred in the meantime. Can you tell
me how knowing what subset a compound is in would help you?

good docking
