[edit] Thioridazine chemical structure and enantiomery.

The chemical name of thioridazine given should be: 10-{2-[(RS)-1-Methylpiperidin-2-yl-]ethyl}-2-methylsulfanylphenothiazine (emphasis on (RS)-, since thioridazine is a chiral molecule that is usualy distributed as a racemate);
its chemical formula given in the drugbox isn't correct, either; it has an aliphatic chain connecting the phenothiazine tricycle with the piperidine heterocycle of one -CH₂- groupement too long; its correct chemical structure (with two-carbon-chain and chiral bond displayed), along with correct systematic name is given here:

could someone be so kind and upload this? How do I upload an image on Wiki?--Spiperon 05:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
