Uninformative comparison.[edit]

This image is meant to compare various non-benzodiazepines to a benzodiazepine, but the depicted BZD is pharmacologically inactive, as it lacks an electronegative element at position 7, and additionally is not a triazolobenzodiazepine, which would eliminate that requirement. The easiest way to fix this is to bond a chloride ion to position 7, and a methyl group to position 1, which would make it diazepam. --76.202.230.237 (talk) 06:06, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the problem. I wanted to display the parent structures rather than specific analogs. As a compromise, I have included a generic electron withdrawing "X" substituent at position-7 and an alkyl "R" at position-1. The thumbnail images may take a while to update, but the new figure is visible nonbenzodiazepine article page. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 06:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
