The difference between Quinoline and E104 needs to be properly defined; these compounds are completely different. When I've had a bit of practice here I'll make the adjustments myself.

EDIT: Sorted out the mess a bit. Now... when E104 is searched can it redirect to the Quinoline yellow article rather than this one?

Interesting. Benzo[b]pyridine, quinoline just a few years ago was DEFINITIVELY linked to causing lung cancer as a carcinogenic component of cigarette smoke. No sign of anything like that now. THANK YOU FOR SMOKING!! 70.106.60.44 03:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Need help

Wow, there's a set of articles here that really needs some work. Looking through several different articles relating to Quinoline (including tryptophan, the biochemical precursor) I failed to find any information regarding several important subject areas with concern to quinoline. Namely the role of quinolinic acid in neurotransmission or as an excitoneurotoxin. I also found no information regarding the role of increased levels of quinolinates in the brains of AIDS patients and the resulting dementia. In fact there's only a passing mention of dementia (no causes explained) in the AIDS article. There's a lot of information missing here. I would appreciate any and all help. --Jmcclare (talk) 18:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
