Should the drug really be listed as its trade name, rather than the common chemical one?

[edit] Structure?

Is the stereochemistry of the structure correct? I'm finding differences in online structures as to what the stereochemistry to the methyl group near the lactone should be. (Hashed bond in upper left) (Also posted on image talk page)-- 16:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I created the image using Image:Sirolimus1.gif as a model, then checked it for accuracy against PubChem 6436030. If the stereochemistry is inaccurate, I apologize; I'll try to find alternate sources and re-check. Fvasconcellos 22:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Apparently it was incorrect. Fixed now, as is the IUPAC name—the one previously in the article was actually for tacrolimus. Thank you. Fvasconcellos 01:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
