Pharmaceutical code?

[edit]

What is the WF series of chemical compounds named after? Usually it is an abbreviation of the pharmaceutical company name that first published or patented them. An example of the series in question is WF-33. A link is to a patent of it but I still cannot divine a name for "WF" from that. 71.32.253.184 (talk) 05:28, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The patent says it means "Wake Forest". Maybe the inventors work at Wake Forest University? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 20:32, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
