Proposed merge with Neomycin

Given the that there is very little information in this article, I suggest that it be merged into Neomycin which currently already mentions Neomycin A The chemistds (talk) 16:46, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd recommend against this, because neamine is a very different compound than neomycin (B). They share a similar name due to historical issues, but neamine is a precursor for many aminoglycosides like kanamycin, gentamicin, butirosin, as well as neomycin. It's true, not a lot has been done with it, presumably because it isn't a very effective drug, but it is just a similar to neomycin as those other aminoglycosides. If it's to be merged anywhere, it might be more appropriate to merge it with the Aminoglycoside page. Scaldwell17 (talk) 03:55, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
