| Dec 28, 2021 at 4:24 | comment | added | electronpusher | This answer feels incomplete to me without addressing that many of the -ine names one is likely to see in the context of drugs result from the substances being *amines*/alkaloids, which is indeed related to the molecular structure as the OP suspected (-ine for this reason implies there is a nitrogen atom). | |
