Talk:Tilorone

chembox
I'm having trouble with the chem box, if you know how to use it- please do. oh.. citing, help me by adding the citation - the information above is from the merck index, 13th edition p.1683 If you have a picture of the molecule, add it- its a nice one looks like a temple for the oxygen built by cyclic and aromatic ligands very unique. If you feel like formalizing this page using the traditional wiki way (adding "stub" boxes and "lacks citations" boxes etc' ), go ahead.
