Template Unsigned Image removed by Anon User 146 82 167 179 I wonder why The image that shows the molecular structure of Norepinephrine has been removed by Anon User 146 82 167 179 today Does anyone know why Was there a problem with the figure 22 03 2004 Jun 28 UTC I m not aware of any problem with Image Norepinephrine png except that the label for the alcohol group on the benzene was a little truncated The chemistry was fine and the image definitely serves a purpose so I ve reverted Metabolites I m going to have a go at elucidating the biological metabolites of noradrenaline aka norepinephrine in this article Please expand upon this effort Also please mod my formatting so that it conforms I m afraid I don t have the patience to learn the required minutiae of preferred formatting P Adam let me guess You use Strattera yourself Naming Problem I found a small problem with the authors naming of some of the classes of drugs both selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors and serotonin norepinephrine inhibitors have the acronym SNRI Can anyone who has the knowledge please fix this in the post And to the problem of which name it goes by in all the scientific literature I ve come across its epinephrine and I m in Canada Just take a look at your epi pens they re not adreni pens Mike EpiPen is a brand name all that tells you is that the brand is american Adrenaline vs epinephrine is a massive debate in medical literature with entire books devoted to it Epi nephros is greek for above kidney Ad renal is latin for the same thing My favourite book title on the subject is Even the greeks call it Adrenaline The only reason for a difference is a now expired US patent which used the name Adrenalin for something entirely unrelated and someone decided it was too similar so switched to the greek transliteration which has since become the INN for some reason even though the offending patent expired long ago and IMHO the name epinephrine should have expired with it Vasopression isn t a word Maybe this came about as a misunderstanding of the word vasopressin which is a hormone that causes vasoconstriciton I m changing it heading to Vasoconstriction The preceding unsigned comment was added by
