CAS number
[edit]The CAS number is 65589-70-0, but CAS has no structure diagram, which is unusual. Is the structure of this really the one shown in the article? --Itub (talk) 15:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Ambiguous wording
[edit]"In an animal model, acriflavine has been shown to inhibit HIF-1, which prevents blood vessels growing to supply tumors with blood and interferes with glucose uptake and use."
Is this sentence trying to say that HIF-1 prevents blood vessels growing, or is it trying to say that the inhibition of HIF-1 prevents blood vessels growing?
