This is a guideline to help authors in creating sufficient chemical structure diagrams to be used in drug-related articles for

How to
Molecular structure diagrams used in drug-related
PPCHTeX or XyMTeX
.
The carbon backbone of the molecule should be drawn out using lines, with indicated functional groups and heavy atoms drawn in as appropriate. Show stereochemistry as necessary as well (see the Tetrahydrocannibinol example, bottom right).
All images should be saved using
PNG format is also acceptable. All structures are being moved to commons, so ideally all new structures should be saved direct to Commons using a {{PD-chem
}} permission.
Requested images
If you would like to request that a chemical structure diagram be created for an article, please make that request on the WikiProject Pharmacology talk page.
