[edit] Overview

This is the image repository for structural diagrams used by the WikiProject on Drugs.

[edit] Template

Hopefully parameterized subst templates will work soon.

[edit] How to

See PPCHTeX, XyMTeX. Please do not include drug names in images.

I would suggest to create chemical molecules only by experienced users / chemists with real molecule editors like IsisDraw or ChemDraw. Please include stereoinformation. For a series of derivatives the core structure should have the same orientation. The molecule orientation should follow the traditions in a certain field (e.g. indoles are usually oriented with the N at the bottom and the benzene ring to the left). A way to prevent pixelized images is to increase the image size to 300%, save as an image file, and sample the size down (Photoshop, IrfanView) using bicubic interpolation. That way you get images like Strychnine to the right (original size). Cacycle 11:33, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've had luck using WinPLT, available here. It didn't take long to learn how to use, and it is available as free shareware. It was created for academic use by a professor of organic and organometallic chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. Fuzzform 22:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New images to be created

Ampligen, C28 H40 N9 O25 P3 - N.B.: this is actually three compounds in one formulation. The article currently treats this as a single compound, and even gives a molecular mass (which is actually the sum of masses of all three compounds) and a molecular formula (I guess the three compounds will probably exhibit adhesion, due to hydrogen bonding among -OH groups, although this certainly does not mean it is one single compound). Not sure what should be done about this, although I suppose I could just create a new image in the likeness of the PubChem image. Fuzzform 19:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To improve or replace

You can request improvement of a structural image by leaving the name of the compound here.

* Toluene C6 H5 CH3

  • 1-Hexene C6 H12
  • Hexane C6 H14
  • Cyclohexene C6 H10
