Biguanides are not only antidiabetic medications. They also include proguanil (antimalarial), chlorhexidine gluconate (antimicrobial/antiviral), 2-guanidinebenzimidazole (decreases gastic acid secretions). How can we modify the article to include the broad spectrum of the biguanide and its derivatives? rmosler 08:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. According to this source, Chlorhexidine is "hexamethyl bischlorophenyl biguanide". Should it be categorised as a biguanide and mentioned here? This is a major antiseptic. Colin°^Talk 20:07, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Structure and name

It looks like a bi-Guanidine. Can we say if this is the origin of the name ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:57, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The image of the ball and stick model appears to be incorrect

..or at least it doesn't agree with the other image of the structure and the formula, the latter given as HN(C(NH)NH_2)_2 . The ball-and stick model has formula (NH_2)_2CNC(NH)NH_2 In fact, they are isomers. 147.147.218.218 (talk) 02:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They are tautomers. See https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molstruc.2017.08.100 for the full story. The skeletal formula should probably be changed to match the ball-and-stick model, and the tautomerism should be explained in the article body. Ben (talk) 02:58, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
