Residential Use?
[edit]Diazinon is still used (in the UK) in some flea collars for domestic pets. Does this need sourcing to be added? Dan Beale 13:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Verify Chemical Diagrams
[edit]The 3-D png and Fisher diagram do not appear to match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.66.147.217 (talk) 22:33, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- agreed. I've removed the offending structure.Yilloslime (t) 22:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Jargon?
[edit]Structure and Reactivity section, first paragraph, uses terms that read poorly as English and might be jargon. ("Mechanism"? "Novel mechanism"? Should be clarified in some way if this is so.

- Also "degenerated" & a few other (minor) awkward constructions. I am not familiar with the use of "degenerate" as a verb for degrade, detoxify or whatever; possibly it is jargon -- I'll check the sources -- but in any case it strikes me as awkward at best. I'll dig further & clean up.
Done --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 12:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- "Novel mechanism" seems to have been fixed. "Metabolism and mechanism of action" strikes me as OK. "Mechanism of toxicity" is a bit jargon-y, will consider replacing with a commoner term. --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 22:09, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- After searching, "Mechanism of toxicity" seems to be common usage, so stet. --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 01:03, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Metabolism and mechanism of action
[edit]Did a cleanup of this section, spelling, usage (including the above "degenerated"), wikilinks &c. Removed "very effective" & "at a much slower rate" (re diazoxon metabolism), doesn't say what is very effective and slower than what; I was unable to find suitable refs for diazoxon metabolism & half-life (may be in broken external link Chemical Fact Sheet). --D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 01:00, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
