title: Reinterpretation of the evidence for the structure of isoaurostatin.
abstract: The spectroscopic parameters used to assign the structure to isoaurostatin (4',6-dihydroxyisoaurone), a metabolite isolated from Thermomonospora alba, have been reinterpreted. It is suggested that isoaurostatin is identical to the isoflavone daidzein.
