What is the state of rhizoxin as a drug? If its FDA/etc. approved then {{template:drugbox}} would be more appropriate than {{template:chembox}}. - Zephyris Talk 21:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, and after a quick search, rhizoxin is investigational. The U.S. National Cancer Institute lists only Phase I trials, the most recent concluded nearly 9 years ago. However, if you think {{drugbox}} would be better, feel free to replace it! Fvasconcellos 22:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Just found out it stalled after phase II trials due to low activity in vivo - chembox therefore seems more appropriate. I may have broken some of the footnote fixes you made in extending the article (edit conflict) sorry! :( - Zephyris Talk 22:38, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem—fixing them again only takes a click :) Glad you managed to dig deeper than I did on the clinical trials. Fvasconcellos 23:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
