message: The link "Chemical Suppliers" points to a site, which in my point of view just lists products of the following compnanies: exchemistry and aurora.
Try to search benzene as substructure search. Very uggly. These companies are also mentioned at #1 and #2 in the directory.
Could you please remove this link?

message: Please keep in mind that most reading this do not have even the basic domain-specific terminology down, or they would not be reading such a wikipedia article on the topic. Take a quick read of the intro and beginning of the first section - the context in which "therapeutic target" is used does not provide sufficient clues to really know what it means here. Are the drugs the therapeutic targets? Does therapeutic target refer to genes that might play a role? To diseases one hopes to cure? Thanks --Fitzhugh 04:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Therapeutic target is SUPPOSED to mean a compound, not the gene for it, not the mechanism. But people seem to use the word target fast and loose. I am a writer currently being Forced to learn all this jargon faster than my poor brain can absorb it. Still, I am starting to get some of it and I agree that some of these pharma articles are hard to make out.  If someone nags me later, I might remember to come back here and try to make this a bit more accessible.It would be even better if the original writer would take a stab at defining terms better and generally rewriting more simply.

replies: text:  A (therapeutic) target is NOT the drug, it is usually the direct interaction partner of a drug, be it an enzyme, a receptor, or any other protein. It could also be a mechanism if the drug does not act through binding to proteins. Сасусlе 14:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Plant-derived medications are a huge contribution to the current drug industry. Therefore, I would like to expand on the plant-derived section. I was thinking of adding information related to current drugs derived from plants, specifically from plant hormones such as jasmonates and salicylates. I also wanted to start briefly discussing the important of plant secondary metabolites are to current drug discoveries. Shahn27 (talk) 01:04, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

message: There is barely enough data in this article to justify a section under drug discovery, and it should be merged, rather than being a stand-alone article. Pustelnik (talk) 15:10, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
