A fact from HPA-23 appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 July 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in the mid-1980s, some HIV patients pinned their hopes for survival on an experimental drug called HPA-23?

Wikipedia

This name sounds wrong and only gets a very few hits from a few newspapers.

Perhaps the formula is (NH4)18[NaSb9W21O86]

The name for HPA-23 has been referred to generically as heteropolyoxotungstate, Hetero Poly Acid, Keggin-type polyoxotugstate, or antimoniotungstate; and specifically as Ammonium Sodium Henicosatungstonona‐Antimonate (III). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:19, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Graeme Bartlett - I also had some concerns with the name when writing the article, but defaulted to it due to its use in RS. However, none of the RS in question are scientific publications so I feel there is a high likelihood it could be incorrect. I wonder if this entire article should just be moved to HPA-23?

Yes HPA-23 seems like a good name as that is used by both newspapers and academic sources. None of the generic names are suitable, as they are for classes of compounds. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:10, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis source[edit]

The synthesis of Ammonium Sodium Henicosatungstononaantimonate(III) is given in "Inorganic Syntheses, Volume 27" Formula (NH₄)₁₈ [NaSb₉W21O₈₆]^.₂₄H₂O.--FK1954 (talk) 20:58, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
