Talk:Trodusquemine

The works of ZASLOFF

@ZASLOFF: Several of have noted that you've reverted the article to your referred versions 3 times over the last month. We can understand why, as you have declared yourself as an expert in the field, and have been adding references to articles that you seem to have published. Hopefully you can see that this is a conflict of interest, as will not be neutral when judging whether your own work is appropriate for inclusion. You're also adding references in a format that doesn't match the manual of style for references; bare PMIDs aren't particularly helpful, and also mask your conflict on interest. See you talk page for further discussion on conflicts of interest on your talk page.

For example, the list of references you've included isn't particularly helpful:

• PMID=11360152
• PMID=34698757
• PMID=34698757
• PMID=15688348
• PMID=27516602

Here's how these would be better formatted, using the 'cite journal' template for the first 3 of these:

• Zasloff, M; Williams, JI; Chen, Q; Anderson, M; Maeder, T; Holroyd, K; Jones, S; Kinney, W; Cheshire, K; McLane, M (May 2001). "A spermine-coupled cholesterol metabolite from the shark with potent appetite suppressant and antidiabetic properties". International journal of obesity and related metabolic disorders : journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity. 25 (5): 689–97. doi:10.1038/sj.ijo.0801599. PMID 11360152.
• Limbocker, R; Errico, S; Barbut, D; Knowles, TPJ; Vendruscolo, M; Chiti, F; Zasloff, M (20 April 2022). "Squalamine and trodusquemine: two natural products for neurodegenerative diseases, from physical chemistry to the clinic". Natural product reports. 39 (4): 742–753. doi:10.1039/d1np00042j. PMID 34698757.
• Limbocker, R; Errico, S; Barbut, D; Knowles, TPJ; Vendruscolo, M; Chiti, F; Zasloff, M (20 April 2022). "Squalamine and trodusquemine: two natural products for neurodegenerative diseases, from physical chemistry to the clinic". Natural product reports. 39 (4): 742–753. doi:10.1039/d1np00042j. PMID 34698757.

If you need a hand doing this, let us know. Klbrain (talk) 18:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I will put them into the format you suggest. I used the PMID format since it the reference can be readily accessed by Google. With respect to my writing of the piece on Trodusquemine, I am the current international expert on the class of molecules, which my lab discovered at the NIH and Penn. The references include all published reports in peer reviewed journals, without prejudice.

The prior contribution is factually incorrect and fails to communicate the science underlying this compound.

Thank you for your taking time to improve my contribution. ZASLOFF (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
