In the title adduct, 3C(13)H(9)N·C(9)H(6)O(6) or (acr)(3)(btc), associ-ations of one btc and three acr molecules linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. C-H⋯O interactions also occur, resulting in a cyclic hydrogen-bonded synthon R(2) (1)(6). The acr mol-ecules and the btc mol-ecules also form slipped or offset π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.5212 (17) Å for btc rings...

OBJECTIVE Beta-trace protein concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum and nasal secretions are investigated with a new quantitative, immunonephelometric assay. RESULTS The mean beta-trace concentration of normal lumbar CSF (18.4 mg/l) and normal serum (0.59 mg/l), from n = 132 control patients, were 10% higher than reported earlier for smaller control groups. The reference range of ...

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family and the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) play an important role in cancer. This intricate and complex signaling pathway provides many opportunities for therapeutic intervention, and several novel therapeutics aimed at the IGF-1R, particularly monoclonal antibodies and small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are under clinical investigation. This article pro...
