✦ Synopsis
In the title crystal structure, C~9~H~14~O~3~·H~2~O, the water molecule accepts a hydrogen bond from the carboxyl group [O...O = 2.6004 (13) Å and O—H...O = 163°], while donating hydrogen bonds to the ketone [O...O = 2.8193 (14) Å and O—H...O = 178 (2)°] and the acid carbonyl groups [O...O = 2.8010 (14) Å and O—H...O = 174 (2)°]. This creates a network of hydrogen bonds confined within a continuous flat ribbon two molecules in width and extending in the [101] direction.

The title compound, C 9 H 8 O 3 , adopts a conformation in which both substituents lie nearly coplanar with the ring. Asymmetric units aggregate by centrosymmetric carboxyl pairing. Close offset stacking of rings in parallel planes creates intermolecular CÁ Á ÁCcontacts of 3.322 (3) and 3.352 (3) A
## Abstract In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methylisoxazole‐4‐propionic acid (AMPA)‐receptor‐mediated excitotoxicity causes cytoskeletal damage to axons. AMPA/kainate receptors are present on oligodendrocytes and myelin, but currently there is no evidence to suggest
