Hello ChEBI Team,

CHEBI:58326 Nω,Nω-dimethyl-L-argininium(1+) CHEBI:197308 Nω,N'ω-dimethyl-L-argininium(1+)

CHEBI:58326 and CHEBI:197308 appear with a very similar ChEBI Name (difference is the N versus N'), could you add the tag 'symmetric' to CHEBI:197308 name, and the tag 'asymmetric' to CHEBI:197308 name? These compounds see very interesting (see publication below) and this name specification may helpful for the ChEBI users, I guess. By the way, CHEBI:197308 needs to be validated, thank you in advance

See this recent publication (2024) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38570234/
