the second usage, as identical to IUPAC's -yne, is seldom encountered, moreover the link used as a citation is dead, the info about this second usage is, sadly, not very useful - delete that crap!07:00, 17 April 2011 (UTC)24.130.82.14 (talk)

Dead link

Amines...?

This suffix is also (perhaps even predominantly?) used for amines - most of the amino acids, for example, have names like glycine, leucine and so on, and are not usually considered alkaloids - 'The boundary between alkaloids and other nitrogen-containing natural compounds is not clear-cut. Compounds like amino acid peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acid, amines, and antibiotics are usually not called alkaloids.' --Oolong (talk) 10:53, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Halogens?

It's kind of odd to see no mention of chlorine, fluorine, etc. My dictionary (mid- to late-twentieth century) gives that as the main use of this suffix, and certainly it's significant. I'd add something, but I'm not enough of a chemist to know what to say beyond the fact that all of the names end in "ine". (My last chemistry class was almost half a century ago.) If someone knowledgeable can either do the necessary work, or say why the halogens are missing, I'd appreciate it. Davecat4 (talk) 00:12, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
