you can do it as follows:
URL ='http://structures.wishartlab.com/molecules/HMDB00126/image.png'
filename = 'test.png'
urlwrite(URL,filename)
y = imread(filename, 'BackgroundColor', [1 1 1]);
figure, imshow(y);
The problem here was to replace transparent pixels with some specific color. If we don't choose any specific color then MATLAB gives it black color

Convert it into greyscale image and plot it.
