As it says "little research has been conducted on erinacines to date". Most of it, apparently, by the author of this article, who has no other contributions. Some references, to be sure, but Google comes up close to blank and I don't see enough critical secondary review of this. Maybe it just needs aggressive cleanup, I don't know.

  • Merge with Hericium erinaceus, the fungus from which erinacines are extracted, but trim down the content considerably. There is a small but notable research effort into extracts of this particular fungus due to alleged medicinal properties. The extracts include include erinacines and dozens of other compounds. I will add a short section to the fungus article as a first step. Irene Ringworm 19:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aha, alleged medicinal properties. That explains something in the OTRS exchanges which has been puzzling me, namely why someone wants the page locked "before the FDA get angry" or words to that effect. If the merge is done, I encourage you to redirect and we can speedy close this. Guy (Help!) 19:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
