[edit]

This disambiguation page had a formula and a molecular weight. I've removed these because (1) the formula was at the top of the page/article as though it applied to all three chemicals in the list, while the two that I've looked up actually have two different formulae; (2) the molecular weight was quoted to very high precision but was probably wrong. Obviously the two flavaspidic acids with different formulae have different masses anyway, but Chemdraw, a well-respected and widely-used chemical drawing package gave a different molecular weight. The molecular weight (as opposed to monoisotopic mass, which is often quoted to high precision, but was a different value again when calculated in Chemdraw) depends on the natural abundances of isotopes used during calculation, so it's possible that whoever added it to this article/page was using values from a different location in the world. But if so, it needs to be referenced. In any case, the data belong in the articles on the chemicals, not in the disambiguation page. The DAB page is (probably) valid, because at least two of these Flavaspidic acids have CAS numbers (meaning they're automatically notable even though only one currently has an article); the other may be, I just haven't had the time to check!
