Chemical structure of tetracycline. The name is obviously derived from the structure of the molecule.

Oh, well, obviously. I mean, duh, this is so self-explanatory I don't know why it's even on the page. What, do we have to spell it out for people? Garrett Albright 04:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Umm I'm not so sure I should change this page, given my lack of knowledge, but this page is meant to be on the tetracyclic antidepressant group, NOT the antibiotic tetracycline who's name is clocely related. Totally different.

Tetracyclines now redirects to Tetracycline antibiotics that discusses the group in general. This leaves Tetracycline to consider this specific member of the group. David Ruben ^Talk 01:36, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

invalid link to uspto.gov

The link to uspto.gov leads to 'MACHINE FOR CLEANING OIL COOLER RADIATORS, ETC'; which has nothing to do with tetracycline 69.95.236.244 (talk) 02:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
