Template:Sympatholytic antihypertensives[edit]

This article transcludes Sympatholytic antihypertensives template yet Guanidine is not included in that template. Should Guanidine be added there or does the template belong to this article at all? --Custoo (talk) 10:55, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Barton's base and TMG[edit]

This article should mention Barton's base and TMG (Tetramethylguanidine). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Christian75 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

question[edit]

This page is cited in Machine Design Magazine, 2007 October 11, page 12, in a letter to the editor, as an example of the how easy it is to spoof wikipedia. Can anyone verify any of this article? JohnLeroy 15:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

148 years later[edit]

wouldn't it be easier to write "2009" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jemocri (talk • contribs) 05:09, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Human consumption[edit]

I would like to see more information on human consumption and pharmacological effects. In Ilex guayusa article it says that "In addition to caffeine, guayusa also contains guanidine, a proven antihyperglycemic and antihypertensive compound that stabilizes blood sugar levels and relaxes the body" but no sources are cited for this specific information. --Custoo (talk) 20:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bottle of reagent - nonsense[edit]

What important this file contribute to the article?? (Bottle of guanidine for use in the laboratory) It looks like a sigma company advertisement. IMHO it should be removed. --Danielchemik (talk) 22:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

agree, this is nonsense Whmice (talk) 21:08, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it doesn't show guanidine but guanidinium hydrochloride. Deleted. -- 134.130.111.237 (talk) 12:44, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Making Guandidine[edit]

Typed in other language Wikipediae, guanidine could be made in two separate reactions: reacting ammonium iodide and calcium cyanamide, or reacting 'under pressurized conditions urea with ammonia. However these information lack sources so they cannot be entered into this article. -- Mountainninja (talk) 17:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Natural sources[edit]

biguanide#History says "Galega officinalis (French lilac) was used in diabetes treatment for centuries.[3] In the 1920s, guanidine compounds were discovered in Galega extracts." [3] says "The active ingredient in the French lilac that produced the lowering of blood glucose was shown to be galegine or isoamylene guanidine". Could mention ? - Rod57 (talk) 13:21, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
