Hi!

I have been synthesising cucurbic acid to test cross reactivity with 
antibodies to jasmonic acid I have produced.  However, the methodologies 
which I have been following do not give the UV extinction coefficients for 
cucurbic acid (raecemic and/or (+) (-) isomers), I have therefore been 
unable to determine the concentration of the acid I have synthesised.  Does 
anyone out there know the extinction coefficient for cucurbic acid.

Please either re-post to this news group, or email me at
