Talk:Idebenone

How's about some sources there pops?

Validity
Idebenone's nootropic effect is doubtful. In May 1998, Its approval as nootropic in Japan was cancelled. I couldn't find detailed reason, but it was enough to make me question its effects. --Parkyere (talk) 02:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Superoxide formation
Increase in superoxide formation in vitro? (pro-oxidant?) (from 68.6.123.194, moved from article by ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:40, 30 March 2011 (UTC))

Suspicious
Find this article suspicious, though Idebenone has been in the news here and there. As a purported free radical scavenger, I can not see any benefit of this over a plain old multivitamin, which is probably why it never gets through a clinical trial. 155.41.193.166 (talk) 22:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)brad
 * Do you find the article or the drug suspicious? As far as I can tell, the article says a lot about the fact that idebenone hasn't been convincing in trials. I can see no advertising. If you could point me to specific claims in the article you find suspicious, we may be able to mend them. Thanks.
 * By the way, the drug seems to be approved in Italy and Switzerland, but I can't tell whether it is actually available. And this wouldn't be a prove of its effectiveness, of course. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 07:02, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
