Try Entrez Link (ELink), possibly with the pcassay_pccompound link. See
the links in the Biopython documentation for Bio.Entrez.ELink, especially:
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/corehtml/query/static/entrezlinks.html

If you could give a more complete example it would help. In particular,
an example of a positive match between pubchem and bioassay.
