Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because it seemed interesting and has been used to help created a compound to help cancer treatment. From my first impression the article is very short and could be greatly improved.

The lead sentences is concise and gives an understanding of the topic. The lead gives a brief overview of the articles one major topic. There is no information present in the lead that is not in the article and it isn't overly detailed. The content of the article is relevant, but not up to date and there is a lot of it missing. There are major gaps, in how the compound was discovered, its uses, and almost anything to do with it. It is, however, neutral and isn't biased. Nothing is over or under represented and it doesn't try to convince anyone of anything. The sources are all published in peer reviewed journals and some of the links don't work. Of the four sources, the most recent one is from 2018, one is from 1998, and the other are from the 70's.

The article is well written, but a little hard to read. It doesn't explain most of the terminology used. There are no grammmatical errors and the article is well broken down. Although that's not an issue since there's only one section. There is only one image, the formula for the compound, it is not captioned, but is sourced accurately.

The talks page discusses merging the topic with Mesna as the two are similar and some believe the two should be discussed together. The article is rated stub-class and unimportant. It's part of the Wiki Education Foundation suported course assignment.

The article could be greatly improved by adding to it. Giving a more comprehensive overview of the topic and adding some information on Mesna so that the two can be discussed together. The article is short and not well developed, much more could be added.
