The description of the mechanism is poorly written and therefore difficult to understand. It should be rewritten. Specifically, the first sentence contains excess clauses that obscure the meaning. Also, the explanation of 'aging' of the adduct is too vague, and warrants a more careful biochemical explanation; there is no such thing as a "permanent bond".

Thank you for your suggestion. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top.
The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. The mechanism of action section is extremely poor. I don't understand it at all, most probably because it makes no sense. I would gladly correct it but I don't know the mechanism of action of this substance so I can't. However I know enough about pharmacology to see it's currently flawed.
