thread_title: Biosynthesis is wrong

message: I propose that Podophyllin be merged into Podophyllotoxin. I think that the content in the Podophyllin article can easily be explained in the context of Podophyllotoxin, and the Podophyllotoxin article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Podophyllin will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. The original source of the Podophyllin article was the 1911 edition of Encycopedia Britannica.  The primarily useful compound from podphyllin has been characterized and isolated since then, and it is Podophyllotoxin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tentrillion (talk • contribs) 23:06, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Combine references 

message: I don't mean to be nuisance but this article seems to be more focused on talking about some medical cream instead of a plant toxin. I want to know what dangers exist with accidentally eating unripe mayapple fruit, not the medial issues associated with prostitution. Pretty much every other article about plant poisons talks about them the way they should. If I read the article on Solanine(the poison in green potatoes and potato leaves), the article isn't focused on some topical cream meant to treat Leprosy or something else. I know a lot of people suffer from STDs but their afflictions shouldn't be getting in the way of my desire to not die if I eat a fruit from a plant I'm planting. 2604:2D80:6305:600:21FF:8A5D:758:ED86 (talk) 21:03, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
