Adverse Effects

True there is metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase. But why is there no mention of it's interaction with alcohol consumption under the food section? (I know, "booze aint food") --Tootyted (talk) 20:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stereochemistry is missing

The stereochemistry is missing in the structure image. It can be found here: http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.16740505.html --ChemSpiderMan (talk) 00:15, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I switched to an image with stereochemistry. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Group 1 Edit Plan

Group 1 (Mike, Elmira, Claire, Alissa) have developed the following plan for editing Abacavir: 1) Update/improve upon the intro/about section 2) Update/improve upon the side effects/adverse effects section 3) Add a Drug-Drug Interactions section 4) Expand upon the pharmacokinetics section

We plan to use PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, as well as Google scholar searches to provide evidence for our edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkw 09 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Group 2 Review

Q1) Yes, the edited sections are from a neutral point of view. When discussing interactions students said what "may" occur and not what will definitely occur. They are also sourcing where the information came from like the FDA or the WHO to show what the organizations recommend. AngelaZakinova (talk) 05:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Q2) References cited are complete with secondary references with the exception of the following: not linked: 7, 25-34, not freely accessible: 16, 21, 23, error: 19. Eacademia (talk) 07:37, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Q3) Yes, the edits overall are consistent with the manual of style for medicine-related articles. Appropriate subheadings and images were used. The contraindications can be listed under a separate subheading. There are two typos in the ‘Interactions’ section: ‘Abacavir (and in general NRTIs) are do not undergo hepatic metabolism…’ and ‘…decrease absorption of abacavirby orlistat…’. Smilesalways (talk) 128.218.42.174 (talk) 17:49, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Q4) No, there is no evidence of plagiarism. The content seems appropriately written and statements are properly backed up with citations which, as stated in Q2 are appropriate secondary references. Mahazie (talk) 00:06, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

IUPAC name

I think that N⁶-cyclopropyl-2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy-4'a-carbaadenosine-2-amine (or 2-amino-N⁶-cyclopropyl-2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxy-4'a-carbaadenosine) is much more illustrative name than {(1S,4R)-4-[2-amino-6-(cyclopropylamino)-9H-purin-9-yl]cyclopent-2-en-1-yl}methanol, however it may never have been used. —Mykhal (talk) 20:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
