My interests include pharmacology, chemical engineering, chemistry and drug use.
I have a keen interest in indexing information to allow interested parties to quickly learn more about a subject while also allowing experts to expand their understanding and support their claims. This page is a collection of some interesting facts I've pulled out over the years, mostly for my own use.
I have created a number of pages, particularly regarding reagent tests for drug identification and TLC development.
I created most of the content for 5-(2-Aminopropyl)indole and have contributed considerably to the entries for blood substitutes, tert-Amyl alcohol, methoxetamine, alcohol toxicity, oxygen scavengers, 2C-B, emylcamate, aMT and desoxypipradrol.
I have thoroughly overhauled a number of articles on air separation techniques including gas separation, oxygen concentrators, pressure swing adsorption, membrane gas separation and portable oxygen concentrators.
Similar to the the wasicky reagent. It may also be referred to as the Para-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde test, after the main reagent.

Ibuprofen has been shown to dilate arteries in rats with coronary vasodilation, equal to that caused by hypoxia at 140 µg/mL.[6] Typical human dosages of 400mg result in a concentration of 20-60 µg/mL.[7] This indicates that ibuprofen is not a meaningful vasodilator.
