Talk:Gold thioglucose

Neurotoxin?
Gold thioglucose (tradename Auranofin&reg;) is certainly an antiarthritic pharmaceutical, and also a Group 3 (IARC) carcinogen, but I ave never heard it described as a neurotoxin? Does anyone have any references for this? Physchim62 15:13, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * May very well have been inaccurate... this was based on a discussion on USENET, and I was hoping by starting the stub that someone might provide more information. On the other hand, there are plenty of references findable on google on the satiety studies in mice such as this one just as an example.  Nkedel 06:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Sort out of Gold salts
Gold thioglucose is going to be the same as the official termed existing article Aurothioglucose (INN) so need to be merged together. This, having the formula C6H11AuO5S is NOT the same as Auranofin (INN) C20H35AuO9PS+. Likewise in UK we use Sodium Aurothiomalate instead of Aurothioglucose.David Ruben Talk 12:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
