title: Acid-catalyzed epimerization of kobophenol A to carasinol B.
abstract: The conversion from kobophenol A into carasinol B, two main chemical constituents of Caragana sinica, was confirmed by in vitro acid-catalyzed epimerization. The result provides important information about the biotransformation of kobophenol A in plants and its metabolism in rats.
