Talk:Phacetoperane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I decided to put the structure for the racemic form of phacetoperane on the page, even though PubMed shows the levo isomer. It seems that levophacetoperane is the INN name for the drug, but the references seem to be talking about the racemate and there are no references that I could find which look at the pure levo isomer. Besides, the dextro isomer of methylphenidate seems to be the more active isomer, so I'm not sure why the levo isomer of phacetoperane would be the preferred one, it doesn't seem to make sense. Until there is more information available I shall assume that phacetoperane is used as the racemic mix.Meodipt 01:45, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
