Hi! Sharing in case this is of interest to anyone here: a draft article about Precision BioSciences, a publicly traded clinical stage gene editing company, is currently under review in the AfC queue. I have a COI here – Precision BioSciences is a client of mine. Happy to answer any questions, and appreciate any time/feedback. Thanks! Mary Gaulke ( talk) 22:31, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi there! I'm involved in a dispute on whether Ivermectin should be listed as a 3-chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitor on the page Protease inhibitor (pharmacology). It would be terrific if additional editors could weigh in to help resolve the dispute, and the community here seems like a really good resource. I've added some discussion to Talk:Protease inhibitor (pharmacology), as well. Thanks so much! Asacarny ( talk) 04:17, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
There seems to be a wide lack of receptor affinity or binding tables on some classes of drug. Psychiatric drugs developed in recent decades generally have them (like the table here: /info/en/?search=Quetiapine#Pharmacology ). But drugs of natural derivation, drugs that predate modern pharmacology, and drugs that have little or no approved psychiatric uses often lack them (like here: /info/en/?search=Ephedrine#Mechanism_of_action ). I wonder if the information simply doesn't exist (might make a good research area for grad students!), if this is from general neglect due to the non-psychiatric nature, or if it is just too hard to find and insufficient. This is a frequent area of annoyance for me as I read about these things as a hobbyist and for personal uses. Currently I've been looking (again) for any information about the TAAR1 receptor vis-a-vis ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or phenylephrine but so far 10 minutes on DuckDuckGo has also failed me. If the information is available, I think this would be a good area for an editing initiative. Cooperdozier ( talk) 04:17, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
I am not a Wikipedian; but I noticed that the page /info/en/?search=Retrotope was in need of important updating, so I added a note to its "Talk" page (the "Bankruptcy and Aftermath" item, which includes links to relevant sources), hoping that the author of the page would automatically be informed, and would update the page.
But 8 weeks later, there is still no change. A Wikipedian whom I asked suggested that I contact you.
(As I say in my note on the Retrotope Talk page, the page on Retrotope's one product, RT001, should be similarly updated.) 2600:1700:B8B8:40:7865:6A2:1C05:5731 ( talk) 21:03, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
Could you help to disambiguate some of the links to Interaction? This list shows the 200+ articles with links to the disambiguation page. It would help readers to link to a more specific article. Some are chemistry and pharmacology related and others biology, physics, mathmatics or other sciences. Any help with sorting these out would be appreciated.— Rod talk 12:38, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
I have nominated Eli Lilly for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 18:37, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I started an informal, low-key contest about adding citations to articles for WikiProject Medicine. You can join it through this link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikipedia/WikiProject_Medicine_reference_campaign_2023?enroll=qyoufwds
So far, we've discovered that some of us spend more time removing (bad) sources than adding new ones. Last I checked the leaderboard, the winner had only added 41 citations (net), so I think the field's wide open to anyone who is interested. If you sign up, it will count your edits retroactively from the beginning of January (when we started), so there's no penalty for joining late. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 06:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
This three drugs ( [1], [2], [3]) are no longer being developed. In my opinion their articles should be deleted, as they are not relevant anymore. How can I do it?

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at
Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent
Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{
WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{
WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I fear that many of the entries on pharmacology are well below the standard that one has come to expect from Wikipedia. This is especially true of entries with a theoretical content, for example Schild regression, and pages that deal with efficacy and affinity. I doubt if they can be made satisfactory by tinkering. They need to be re-written from scratch.
I would appreciate advice about the best way to proceed. David Colquhoun ( talk) 16:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
This revert was justified for several reasons discussed repeatedly on the article talk page here among which are primary research, outdated sources by 11-15 years, absence of WP:MEDRS reviews, and dubious quality of journals. Reflecktor has not addressed the deficiences of the sources raised on the talk page, but persists in edit warring to reach WP:3RR today as before seen in recent editing history.
As an analog of glutamate and rare in food, beverages or supplement products, theanine as a pharmacological/physiological issue is WP:UNDUE.

I'm hoping that some of you will have a look at the article, its history, and the talk page--well, its history, since I cleaned it up some. There's a dispute over what kind of drug that stuff is, and there's two editors who are better at fighting and yelling than at following proper etiquette on talk pages and in edit summaries. But there's also the matter of the article, which apparently has some unclarities. Your help is appreciated! Drmies ( talk) 02:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
The disputed issue is whether the prodrug clobenzorex is a controlled substance in the US. The letter mentioned on the talk page, purportedly signed by Terrence L. Boos, if it is legitimate would seem to settle the issue. I suppose someone could contact the DEA to confirm that the letter is authentic, or even better, ask them to issue a public statement. I have searched for independent reliable sources that would support that statement, but have not been able to find any. This source [1] implies but does not explicitly state that clobenzorex is not controlled in the US.
The article definitely needs more sources. I found the statement that racemic clobenzorex is metabolized into enantiopure d-amphetamine rather suprising. But there is a source that supports that statement. [2] Boghog ( talk) 04:16, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Data presented here can help differentiate between use of clobenzorex and abuse of amphetamine.

Discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine#Tea component theanine and its putative cognitive effects. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 12:38, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi all,
I recently drafted a new article for post-finasteride syndrome, which I hope addresses some concerns that were raised during a dispute in 2021 over whether enough reliable sources could be found to support the legitimacy of PFS as a medical condition (see the talk page for PFS, which currently is a redirect to the finasteride page). I was informed upon submitting the draft for review that I should first seek consensus among editors following in the page as to whether the new draft resolved the prior issues; I made a post on Talk:Finasteride in an effort to start a discussion, but have not yet received any responses. I have also contacted the user that locked the PFS page following the dispute.
In the event that no editors feel compelled to comment and establish consensus, how should I go about navigating this situation?
As a side note, if anyone has any comments or critiques of the draft as it currently stands, or has additional sources they would like me to add, please feel free to let me know.

Hello, this is Daphne from Arrakis here on this Talk page in hopes of courting editor feedback on the edit request I have posted to the Arrakis Therapeutics Talk page.
The article is currently flagged, and I've put forward a rewrite of the first paragraph of the article that attempts to use improved sourcing and provide a more neutral point of view to the article in hopes of getting the flag removed in the future. If anybody is interested in evaluating my request, I genuinely appreciate it.
If you have any questions about the edit request, I'll be standing by to respond. Thanks so much! DaphneArrakis ( talk) 15:23, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
