editThe reference to our website in order to use our image of oligomycin was done without asking us, but never mind, that's OK, I permit that anyway.

- I am convinced that the absolute configuration of oligomycin shown in this image (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Oligomycin.png/584px-Oligomycin.png), which is often cited in journal articles, is incorrect. I refer you to recent structure elucidation studies:
- Nakata, M., et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 68, 967-989 (1995)
- &
- Wagenaar, M.S., et al., J. Nat. Prod., 70, 367-371 (2007)
- The previous structure which appears to be the one shown here was reported in 1972, and disagrees with the data in the sources cited above, and with my own data as well.Dr.kwan (talk) 13:02, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
- I have updated the structure to match those in the two references you have provided. Thanks for noticing the discrepancy. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey Edgar, I'm trying to wrap my head around the image used for Oligomycin A . The old version you uploaded looked more consistent with the Merck Index 15th Ed. minus a few stereo bonds. When looking at the ChemSpider link for the compound, the IUPAC name is different. Unfortunately if Chemspider/Merck Index is correct, this would also change the diagram of the Oligomycins that's on the page. I am unable to access the reference mentioned in the description of the diagram (1995). The references mentioned In the Merck are all prior to 1978. Kinliss (talk) 20:49, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
This is a more recent paper regarding the structure of Oligomycin A that confirms your structure and it's stereochemical bonds.
The 1971 paper you referenced I was able to find online, but it only talked about Oligomycin B and it's crystal structure. Either way, I'll notify the authors of the Merck Index to review and correct it's entry. Thanks! Kinliss (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC) |
