Talk:List of cocaine analogues

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So I read there's a whole series of 2-acetoxy-3-phenyltropane that are stimulant cocaine analogues. There really is a whole sea of chemicals wikipedia has yet to touch on. Nagelfar (talk) 02:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification

There may be a technical difference between derivatives and analogues, in which case I'm sure many of those local anesthetics fall under the former category. Either someone could edit those out or we could have a page move to 'List of cocaine analogues & derivatives' or something of the like. Nagelfar (talk) 17:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

In addition, there may be the technicality that molecular structures with additions to them are considered "analogues" while ones with molecular aspects removed are not, this page should distinguish between these "technical" analogues and ones which are not so.

Maybe a short list at the bottom of the page of cocaine metabolites such as methylecgonidine could also be added, but the page name might need to be found to be more suitable in such a case. Nagelfar (talk) 20:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drugs which are analogues to other tropanes.

There may be some confusion on this page as to what drugs constitute "cocaine analogues" specifically. If anyone notices any that do not belong in this list please take corrective action. Other tropane related drugs, like Hyoscyamine, may appear to be cocaine analogues when in fact they are derivatives of a plant related to coca and not directly constructed from it (in the case of hyoscyamine, which is from Henbane).
