    Hi Larry,

    I sent you an email about this. It looks like it's meant to be Viagra (sildenafil), but there is an extra carbon in the left hand most ring between the two nitrogens.

    I could however, be wrong and it's something else. Enquiring minds want to know.

    Louis

    Well that's my credibility pissed away! It's the RIGHT hand most ring, not the left hand most ring.

    OOPS!

    Thanks, Louis. I didn't notice the error. I've fixed it.

    No worries. There's got to be some advantage for my working for Pfizer!
