[edit]Hey @Innerstream. Thanks for adding structure images. Looking at the 8-position carboxamide chain, there seems to be an error in the stereochemistry for this one. Compare to PubChem: . Hoping you can fix! Thanks. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 10:12, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- @AlyInWikiWonderland: Thanks for reviewing my image. I think it is correct though. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but the side chain's stereocenter seems to be the (S)-configuration in both my image and at the PubChem listing. Can you have a second look?

- @Innerstream: Hmmm I see. I'm not a chemist, so I very well may be mistaken about things! I think there may just be multiple different ways of depicting the stereochemistry that I'm not familiar with. In any case, here's an image that highlights my confusion: . Propisergide is the 1-methyl analogue of ergometrine, but the Wiki structures seem to show them having different/opposite stereochemistry in the carboxamide N-substitution. I also see that the chains are oriented differently though, which may explain the difference. – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 03:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's just different ways of depicting the same stereochemistry. Essentially, they are represented in different conformations. I can see that this leads to unnecessary confusion, so I have adjusted File:Propisergide.svg to match File:Ergonovine-skeletal.svg so that they can be more readily compared.

- Gotcha. Thanks Innerstream! – AlyInWikiWonderland (talk, contribs) 00:46, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
