This article and the similarly flawed Dehydron seem to exist to promote Ariel Fernandez. They do not meet criteria of notability, they are unreadably technical, and are promotional. Jytdog (talk) 23:25, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because wrapping technology constitutes a significant invention in drug discovery. Wrapping technology and its related concept, the dehydron, have been quite universally accepted as evidenced by the number of reviews in major venues such as Nature, BBC News, Scientific American, The UK Royal Society of Chemistry, etc. Here are the links:

Furthermore, the wrapping technology as applied to imatinib redesign has been further reviewed by prominent Harvard Oncologist George Demetri: Review by George Demetri

If the article as it stands appears to be somewhat promotional, I offer to edit as needed to make it look completely objective. Thanks for your attention.

Not one of the first 4 sources - not one - says it is "a signifcant discovery in drug discovery." The word "drug" does not appear in any of them. Demetri comment on the actual drug design work is more relevant; nice results in animals. Whether it makes a better drug for humans, remains to be seen. And that is where you were making this page dramatically promotional and even your discussion above is promotional in that way. It is great science. It contributes to our understanding of biology and possibly of evolution. It ~may~ have utility in drug disovery but that is 100% speculation] at this point, and we do not do that on Wikipedia. It is promotional to talk about them that way (even beyond academic ego-driven self promotion) as that is where the $ is. 00:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
