Pharmacology

[edit]

Hello Daevatgl, I'm very pleased to have a drug man in our midst. I've been doing a fair bit of pharmacology lately, but find I lack the relevant knowledge and reading material (apart from my old pharmacology textbook, which is out of date). Take a glance at thiazolidinedione and its subpages, and imatinib. User:Ksheka (a cardiologist) has introduced a "box" that holds an image of a drug's chemical structure and some other vital information (see acetaminophen and amiodarone for examples). Please drop a line! JFW | T@lk 09:40, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind comments. Frankly, I was wondering if you might be interesting in the WikiProject "Drugs". This project could definitely do with your input! JFW | T@lk 00:17, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

You've done some great work on the macrolides (you'll see I've moved that page to the singular version). How do you draw molecules? I was trying to find a nice way of drawing some antifunghals (like nystatin and amphotericin B, which I wrote last week), but these big rings just don't come out well...
I'm thinking about writing up cromolyn and nedocromil, but first I need to find some good reference material. I've drawn the molecules already (I use OpenOffice.org).
The WikiProject has only started recently, and seems to lack direction at the moment. Perhaps we should consider some "article of the week" strategy, where we put lots of efforts in one particular drug (or class). My personal favourites are endocrine drugs (e.g. sulfonylurea).

Hi. Just looked at your amphotericin and nystatin images. Are you sure they're correct? They seem to be identical, apart from the way you've drawn the hydroxy group at the top ???!??. I'll double-check when I've come back from my night shift... JFW | T@lk 19:50, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I havent read anything about amphotericin up to now... just about the nystatin: the image lacks stereo information. I've drawn another version for the german version of the page (which was just a little more than a stub, really, and probably still is - pity I didnt think of looking for the english version earlier) I'm a bit hazy about the details with pictures - how do you use the same picture in another language version of wikipedia? Btw, the drawing that where I copied my chemdraw-version from is [here] and [here] It's a bit difficult, as they show stereochemistry for different quartary atoms... There seems to by more than one Nystatin also (A1, A2 and A3)...

replaced your azithromycin drawing

[edit]

Perhaps it was overly pedantic of me, but I replaced your azithromycin drawing with one that showed the directional bonds in the main lactone ring. --moof 23:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Your pethidine molecule is wrong! It has an ethyl ester group not a methyl!

WikiProject Pharmacology is currently organizing a new Collaboration of the Week program, designed to bring drug and medication related articles up to featured status. We're currently soliciting nominations and/or voting on nominations for the first WP:RxCOTW, to begin on September 5, 2007. Please stop by the Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week page to participate! Thanks! Dr. Cash 17:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aspirin has been selected as this week's Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week! Please help us bring this article up to featured standards during the week. The goal is to nominate this at WP:FAC on September 10, 2007.

Also, please visitWP:RxCOTW to support other articles for the next COTW. Articles that have been nominated thus far include Doxorubicin, Paracetamol (in the lead with 4 support votes so far), Muscle relaxant, Ethanol, and Bufotenin.

In other news:

  • The Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology main page has been updated and overhauled, to make it easier to find things, as well as to highlight other goals and announcements for the project.
  • Fvasconcellos notes that discussion is ongoing regarding the current wording of MEDMOS on including dosage information in drug articles. All input is welcome.

Here's a brief update in some of the recent developments of WikiProject Pharmacology!

  • Aspirin has just completed its two week run as the first Collaboration of the Week! Many thanks to those editors that contributed; the article got a lot of good work accomplished, and in particular, much work was done in fixing up the history section. It's still not quite "done" yet (is a wikipedia article really ever done?), but after two weeks I think it's more important to push onwards with the development of the new collaboration of the week program. I will be fixing up Aspirin in the next few days and possibly nominating it for either GA or FA status.
  • Please remember that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussing or dispensing medical advice amongst users. Specifically, talk pages of articles should only be used to discuss improving the actual article in question. To help alleviate this situation, the template {{talkheader}} may be added to the top of talk pages, reminding users of the purpose of such pages. Additionally, unsigned comments and comments by anonymous users that are inappropriate may be removed from talk pages without being considered vandalism.

Here are a few updates in the realm of WikiProject Pharmacology:

  • The Pharmacology Collaboration of the Week has been changed to Collaboration of the Month, based on current participation levels. It is also more likely that articles collaborated on for one month are more likely to achieve featured quality than articles worked on for only a week or two.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

[edit]

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization consisting of over 28,000 volunteers in more than 100 countries. The collaboration was formed to organize medical scholarship in a systematic way in the interests of evidence-based research: the group conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.

Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account. Thank you Cochrane!

If you are stil active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
