Beside the merging aspect I want to stress that the handling of InChI, SMILES, and CID is different in the Drugbox and the Chembox. So is also the complexity of the parser functions. In both cases I would prefer to have the same solutions. Although structural link-outs have been already discussed earlier, there was never really a consens for this kind of services, which should be used. I am still in favor of a Special:Search (feature request) page like proposed by User:Beetstra. The feature request seems to be stalled, but please note that the Cheminformatics community has still an eye on it and we had behind the scenes several eMail discussions about it.
The three key databases are at the moment PubChem, eMolecules, and ChemSpider. Since the later two cover even PubChem I would rather prefer to link only to them, if we can have only a limited number of link-outs? Anyway, since the actual template is protected I would like to get access or some comments of people having access. I personally do not see a problem with the parser functions, but I might get into troubles if I would like to introduce them to the Chembox as well? Can anyone forward me to special page to find all articles, which use the boxes? I would like to know what the usage ratio is and about how many pages we are talking? And how serious is the parser function problem?
Furthermore got I informed by others that some sites are using the Template:InChI link, which links directly to ChemSpider, but those boxes look rather deprecated, e.g. like in the article Anthrone. Would it not be a good idea to unify such things? Since InChI and SMILES can make all boxes unreadable, many contain <br/> statements for reducing the width. I understand the formatting issue, but this has three consequences. First, Google is not indexing such things, if at all. Second, we need parser functions replacing the breaks, otherwise the created URI for searches are invalid. Third, the recently announced InChIKey might solve some of those problems, but it is still not clear if this key is really providing unique identifiers (see comment section of the linked blog article).
We are looking forward for some pro-active and pragmatic comments, which will allow us to make a step forward. JKW 22:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
All of these templates need to be changed to consistently using these terminologies. In every case I have looked at molar mass should replace all of them, except regarding elements where standard atomic weight is correct. --Nick Y. 21:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I notice an issue when trying to correct the formula for Cisplatin. As you can see in the image, It is a "Pt" w/ 2 "Cl" & 2 "NH3. According to the Hill system since there is no Carbon, the elements should all be listed in alphabetical order, as "| Cl=2 | H=6 | N=2 | Pt=1" yielding Cl2H6N2Pt. This simply shows "?" for the formula. I thought maybe the order needed to be different, since traditionally non-organic componds with noble metals list the metal first, such as Pt2Cl2H6N2. However, this didn't work either & I proceeded to try all combinations of it to realize that whenever Carbon is removed, the formula shows "?". Is drugbox not capable of handling the absence of a Carbon, or is something else going on here? --Moschi 10:05, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Code ((#if:(({C|))} | To ((#if:(({C|))}(({H|))}(({O|))}(({N|))} |
Hence ((Hill_atom | element | abbreviation | number | colour | carbon_number | place tag )) e.g. ((Hill_atom | Hydrogen | H | (({H|))} | rgb(12,34,56) | (({C|))} | on ))
Some drugs, like Natamycin are in the EINECS database. It would be neat if you could look at how ((chembox new)) handles that and add it as a parameter. See for example Sodium formate to see an example of chembox new with an EINECS number. Thank you . — Ksero (leave me a message, things I've done) 00:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Links to pregnancy category are enabled in Template:drugbox, but relevant wikipedia cataloging has not been implemented. This makes it difficult for readers to search here for drugs by pregnancy category. Could someone here lend a hand in implementing some sort of category scheme? --Una Smith (talk) 00:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
The template ((drugbox)) is used on the quinine page, and the IUPAC name was entered as: (R)-(5-ethenyl-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-yl)- (6-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)-methanol. Unfortunately, this is not quite correct as it doesn't define the steroechemistries at the other three chiral carbons, and also the bicycle is often named based on quinuclidine, as: (R)-(6-methoxyquinolin-4-yl)((2S,4S,8R)-8-vinylquinuclidin-2-yl)methanol. I would suggest that the second name be listed as the IUPAC name, and the first as an 'Other Name'. Being bold, I tried to do this, but the drugbox does not seem to allow semi-systematic names in the same way as do chembox templates. Since semi-systematic names are common in both chemicals and drugs (like cholic acid which is often given as 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholanic acid but for which the IUPAC name is actually (R)-4-((3R,5S,7R,8R,9S,10S,12S,13R,14S,17R)-3,7,12-trihydroxy-10,13-dimethylhexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-17-yl)pentanoic acid), perhaps an 'OtherName' could be added. I have left both names in the quinine drugbox. EdChem (talk) 05:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
I was just glancing at Ritodrine and noticed there should be something added to this template.
In the article it says it a beta2 agonist... why not put that somewhere in the template. It would help me to look up a drug and know what class it fits in and I can deduce the mechanism usually from that.
The mechanism should be added to more articles however, but probably isn't enough room in the drug box.
Thanks for all your hard work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.125.28.36 (talk) 03:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
In an earlier section, Remember (talk · contribs) and Fvasconcellos (talk · contribs) discussed the merits of adding a link to the FDA's Electronic Orange Book. As the latter pointed out, the Orange Book is an "excellent source for checking generic availability and patent stuff." I'd like to ask that a field be added to this template so that a drug's patent status is readily available. In lieu of that, a field that notes the availability of a generic version of the drug is an alternative. 68.167.248.158 (contribs) 11:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC).
I attempted to cite a reference for the pregnancy_US field, and it displayed '?' instead of the appropriate reference. Please fix the template to allow a reference to be included. 68.167.255.125 (talk) 08:04, 28 March 2008 (UTC).

31-March-2008: I have grouped older topics above using headers "Topics from 2007" (etc.) to emphasize age of topics. Older topics might still apply, but using the tactic of yearly headers to note the age helps avoid rehashing old news, without archiving any ongoing issues. Also, new topics are more likely to be added to the bottom, not top. For clarity, I narrowed the Archive box 50% to allow a wider Table-of-Contents. -Wikid77 (talk) 02:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I wonder if some patent information could be included in the drug-boxes?
for example:
e.g.:
After all, billions of dollars a year often depend on such patents. Indeed the big-pharmaceutical companies (in fact any pharmaceutical company) would not do any R&D at all if there were not a patent and the end of it, and so there would be no new drugs without patents! Also, the day these patents expire is often of great interest, as these dates often open the floodgates for generic companies to make cheaper versions, and thus cheaper healthcare for patients becomes available. Admittedly this information is not always easy to find, but what better place for this information to be pooled (over time) than in a quality encyclopaedia such as this! -- Quantockgoblin (talk) 00:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
CAS, ATC, PubChem and Drugbank don't apply for many proprietary & combination products in the UK, eg Paramax (paracetamol & metoclopramide). Currently the infobox shows a "?" if these parameters are missing, to highlight that the parameters need asigning values. However where the relevant US-based database have no entry on the product, then these fields should be blank. Any thoughts whether the parameters should be hidden or perhaps display "No entry" ? David Ruben Talk 00:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
On Testosterone someone has put

Needs class of drug added to drug box. Just open lippincott's pharmacology and use that system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.43.212.236 (talk) 00:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Why does the template always show CAS_supplemental on a new line ? This does not happen with free text extra parameters of ATC_supplemental, pregnancy_category, legal_status. It would allow adding a brackett comment if required to the CAS value which this template automatically links. If no objections, I'll remove the <br> tag in the coding. David Ruben Talk 22:15, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
This template should link to de:Wikipedia:Formatvorlage Arzneistoff. The current link target is obsolete. --Minderbinder-de (talk) 15:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Would it be possible to add a field for pKa to this template? It is a property of major importance in drug discovery, and of interest to chemists and students of chemistry. --Itub (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Another question: is there any way of removing the automatic "mg/mL (20 °C)" from the solubility line? The available data is not always at 20 °C, and not always expressed in mg/mL. While I can could convert the units, I cannot produce a solubility value at 20 °C when the only available value is at 25 °C! --Itub (talk) 11:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest that ((drugbox)) be changed in some way to reflect a drug's legal status. At a minimum, any Category:Withdrawn drugs should have some sort of infobox change represent the fact that they've been withdrawn. Perhaps there are other cases where the the legal status should affect the infobox as well. 67.101.7.211 (talk) 06:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC).
Being proposed (away from this template's talk page, hence this heads-up) to add links to chemical property prediction site of Chemspider (also confirms chemical name and other reference numbers), yet even host of the site has expressed uncertainty that "... I am not sure that they belong on an encyclopedic article", see discussion at WT:PHARM#Chemspider_IDs. David Ruben Talk 01:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I tried doing some cleanup of Alglucosidase alfa. There is an issue with the appearance of my reference in the CAS_number field. Any explanations?--ZayZayEM (talk) 05:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I recently transcluded most of a "chemical properties" section to the drugbox template in the (-)-2β-Carbomethoxy-3β-(4-fluorophenyl)tropane article. However, I am left with a bit of information that I do not know how to add, or even know if it is possible with the current template to add, called "optical rotation" (specifically it is given as - " Optical Rotation: [α]D = -62.5° ") could this a bit of information be made a section that could be added on to this drugbox template, or is there another section where this could be added that I have overlooked? Thank you. Nagelfar (talk) 00:24, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way to make the drugbox recognize separators, such it can correctly wrap long names. As it is, long names horizontally expand the drugbox to huge size, such that it displays funny. I have now inserted spaces into the names behind dashes and that works nicely. But anyway, do we have the possibility of having automatic line wrap of similar functionality? 70.137.139.73 (talk) 21:49, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Not sure, see discussion on talk chemicals. [4] The alternative names and pidgin iupac/nonsystematic/pharmacist iupac names common in literature have the same problem, and lists of them even more. And we can't turn everything into hide- and scrollbars. After all the chem literature also manages to maintain free layout for readability and page layout considerations in their books and periodicals. Also nomenclature in literature is far from standardized see Pubchem names vs. IUPAC, use of icosa vs. eicosa in IUPAC and Beilstein, Chem Abstracts and generally publicized materials. So I am afraid the machine readability and searchability is a wild goose chase or to be solved on the level of indexing and search algorithms and related lexical and eventually semantic preprocessing. Think of a chem search bar. 70.137.173.82 (talk) 11:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Can we create a variant optimized for vaccines (as was done for antibodies)? --Arcadian (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
OK initial trial coding at ((Drugbox/sandbox)) - needs robust testing at some point to ensure it does what it is supposed to when "type=vaccine", and also check I've not disrupted coding for other "types". It takes (so far) parameters:
I should point out I have very little time to work on this as I shall be on holiday from next week. David Ruben Talk 00:18, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

This is a minor point about organization ... currently the "synonyms" field shows up under the "chemical data" heading, but it would make better sense to have it under the "identifiers" heading. Can it be moved? -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:23, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Some drug articles give the molecular mass without the unit (g/mol), some include it, sometimes wikilinked, sometimes not... Could this be unified, for example by adding "g/mol" automatically (as with the physical properties)? This would probably need a bot to remove all the units from the transclusions, though. Thanks --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 16:15, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I've suggested in the past http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Drugbox/Archive_3#class_of_drug_or_mechanism that MOA be added to the drugbox. I was shot down for lack of space. I would like to refer you to epocrates professional version if you have access. In a very short phrase, they are able to add the Mechanism of Action in their short line. I think we can do it to. Obviously there needs to be a lengthly prose explanation of the MOA in the article and it should always be a subcategory of the article. My other comment is about the "class" feature which is VERY underused in the drugbox. Linking articles by class is very important. However I never see it in articles even though it could be added. I am awful with templates and hope that someone else takes the initiative to incorporate these suggestions. I thank you for your time and ear.

The article for IUPAC systemic names is now at IUPAC nomenclature, not International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature. The template as it stands forms an unnecessary redirect. Lockesdonkey (talk) 17:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Looking at this discussion Template talk:Drugbox/Archive 3#No drug identifier vs missing value suggested that the drugbox should have option of ATC_prefix or ATC_suffix = none. This would be displayed as "none" in the ATC field, and could add the article to a category of drugs that do not have ATCs assigned (per discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pharmacology/Categorization#Drugs without ATC codes.
Also, suggest that articles with a drugbox where the ATC is missing be put in a maintenance category indicating that the information is missing.
I have drafted some code to do these things in the sandbox.
Handling of ATC_supplemental needs better handling (e.g., how to handle ATC_prefix not given, but ATC_supplemental specified.)
Thoughts? Suggestions? Zodon (talk) 03:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

ATC_code=none
at least means that someone has checked and not found anything, which saves anybody else from checking blindly. Physchim62 (talk) 13:38, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Both the Wikipedia search and Google don't find the ATC codes that are shown in the Drugbox. (E.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=G04BX06 returns only the ATC overview page, but not the correct one for Phenazopyridine.) I guess the reason is that the ATC code is split up into two links. One option might be to create redirects for every ATC code. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaK (talk • contribs) 11:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

I've made some changes to the sandbox to bring this template in line with the ((infobox)) defaults. Key changes are the use of class="infobox"
(rather than toccolors
) to correctly identify the template as an infobox, the removal of the ID (as there is no guarantee that a transclusion will be unique; this previously invalidated the HTML of pages which included more than one drugbox) and a tweaking of the font metrics so that they are identical across all modern browsers.

Hi Fvasconcellos and all!
There were already two short discussions in the past, namely
The correct term is still Molar mass - not "Molecular weight". If we repeat a wrong term, it does not become the right one. Obviously nobody believed in our own article (and all the references). -- Alfie±Talk 22:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Addendum: Forget it - I'm terrible sorry. In editing I was looking only at the field-name - just to discover that "Mol. mass" is displayed in the article. Oops. -- Alfie±Talk 22:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
As some may know, the Wikipedia:WikiProject chemicals is busy with validating the data contained in the infoboxes on chemical compounds. This is including many compounds with a ((drugbox)) (at the moment 326 of the 4018 pages with a drugbox (> 8%) has been verified). We started with verifying the CAS Registry Number only at the moment.
The ((chembox)) was already adapted to include a parameter 'CASNo_Ref', which notifies whether the 'CASNo' in the box is correct, and results in colouration of the brackets around the CASNo (no CASNo_Ref in box -> black, 'CASNo_Ref = ((cascite))' (i.e., correct) -> green, 'CASNo_Ref = changed' (i.e., wrong) -> red.
User:CheMoBot is now in his second BRFA (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/CheMoBot_2), where I have requested that the bot is adding parameters to the infoboxes he is monitoring (that can be regulated per infobox, drugbox does not have to be included). In short, CheMoBot compares the fields in the infobox with verified fields as written down on-wiki in an index of revids in which the fields is verifyable correct (for drugbox, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Pharmacology/Index). These added parameters can be used to categorise the boxes, or to show the status of fields in the boxes in comparison to the verified revid.
The bot strictly adds/adapts the value in these parameters, it is not resetting the values. It is not meant to change the values back to their verified values (that might come in a next version of the bot, after a separate bot request).
The functionality is 'live' in User:Beetstra/Propane (an old version is indexed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemicals/Index), testing can be done freely on that page. The bot will adapt values about 20 seconds after your edit (in mainspace that will become something like 5 minutes, to allow for intermediate reversions and/or other edits, so that the bot does not annoy too much there). It is best to follow the diffs in the [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/CheMoBot_2]|bot request]] to see how different changes give different ways of displaying the infobox on User:Beetstra/Propane.
The ((chembox)) has been adapted to work with these status fields, and to show the status of, at least, the verified fields in a line in the bottom of the box. It is also able to show the 'correctness' of the CASNo by colouring the brackets. When (or if) this functions goes live, that should actually reflect the status of the CASNo in the chembox (and preferably also the drugbox). I'd like to hear some input from other editors here, if drugbox should also include a handling of said parameters, and how (name and content of most of the parameters can be set on wiki; I am not sure if the chembox is in a definite version there, but the idea is there). --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I've done a lot of work in cleaning up the code further as we lurch towards parity with other infobox templates. Current code is in the sandbox and comparison is on the test cases page. The only visible changes are that (a) the headers are centered again (which they should always have been) and (b) the title has been moved to a caption rather than being displayed below the images, as is standard with infoboxes.

((editprotected)) Requesting sync with the sandbox as this has gone two months now. Minor layout change for improved accessibility and conformance with MoS infobox layout. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Template:Drugbox/doc provides no guidance as to whether or how to use legal_status and related legal_* parameters to summarize the patent status, i.e. (1) where a drug is under patent, (2) who holds the patent, and (3) when the earliest patent applicable to the drug expires. The infobox is also missing the (4) year that the drug became available as a generic drug, if applicable and known. I searched this template's talk page archive and found minimal discussion about this.
I'm looking for comments as whether items (1) through (4) are legitimate parameters for this infobox, and if so, how should they be supported (e.g. as part of the existing legal_* parameters, as new legal_ parameter(s), or as additional parameters with names specific to the uses mention above.

User:Beetstra (Dirk) is adding InChIs and InChIKeys to drugboxes as part of his chemicals validation work. What about making them show?
