Talk:Nonoxynols

The structure shown is incorrect. The repeat unit should be C2H4O, not C2H4. It needs to be redrawn.Rbcody (talk) 18:53, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These article should be considered in updating the page:

Sonnenschein, Carlos, and Ana M. Soto. "An Updated Review of Environmental Estrogen and Androgen Mimics and Antagonists." The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 65.1-6 (1998): 143-50.
Hiller, Sharon L., Thomas Moecnch, Robin Shattock, Roberta Black, Patricia Reichelderfer, and Fulvia Veronese. "In Vitro and in Vivo: The Story of Nonoxynol 9." Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes 39.1 (2005): 1-8. PubMed. Web. 17 Feb. 2014. Juli12Anne (talk) 21:29, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: These sources appear to be ok, but they are (i) very recent (see WP:NOTNEWS) and (ii) specialized (see WP:SECONDARY and WP:MEDRS). The following review appears to be more comprehensive and more authoritative:

Johnson, Wilbur "Amended Final Report on the Safety Assessment of Nonoxynol-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, and -81" International Journal of Toxicology 1999, 18, (Suppl. 1), 11-31. doi:10.1080/109158199225602, Please consider this suggestion. PS there is a related analysis of the octoxynol derivatives, which are also widely occurring in consumer products.--Smokefoot (talk) 04:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
