IUPAC name[edit]
I think the IUPAC name 2-Methylidenebutanedioic acid is wrong. It should be 2-Methylenesuccinic acid or 2-Methylenebutanedionic acid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anneli2 (talk • contribs) 13:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
- I disagree. CID 811 from PubChem and ChemSpider report "2-Methylidenebutanedioic acid" as the IUPAC name and systematic name, respectively. -- Ed (Edgar181)
Some additional research - immunoregulatory metabolite behavior[edit]
These recent articles in Nature describe its role as an anti-inflammatory metabolite and evidence of inhibition of IL-17 and IκBζ that may be significant. doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0052-z and doi:10.1038/nature25986 Phil (talk) 18:45, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Ball-and-stick model rotated 180 degrees relative to skeletal formula[edit]
Perhaps this is a common issue in Wikipedia chemical articles, but I could not help but noticing the ball-and-stick representation is rotated 180 degrees (in the plane) relative to the skeletal formula. Obviously it is still correct, but perhaps it is helpful for non-experts if the two representations are shown in the same orientation?
