Due to the same polarity, it's very difficult to obtain optically pure 1 and 2, so 3 and 4 were designed and prepared to enhance the polarity difference of C24
epimers. After isolation over silica gel (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=10/1), suitable crystals of 3 and 4 were obtained from ethyl acetate and acetone, respectively.
Considering the 3[alpha]/[beta]-[[sup.18]F]FCA
epimers, it was found that 3[alpha]-[[sup.18]F]FCA shows a slight, yet significant decrease in time-to-peak of the liver TAC and excretion to gallbladder and intestines proceeded faster.
[71] developed a green chemistry method for extraction, chromatography, and derivatization of first-, second-, and third-generation tetracyclines and
epimers from feed samples.
However, pharmacokinetic studies of ginsenosides are challenging, especially for ginsenosides
epimers. Firstly, because of the UV end absorption of ginsenosides, HPLC-UV method detection performed at 200~205 nm usually caused high level of baseline noise.
25-OH Vitamin D is a challenging analyte to accurately measure in human blood due to the presence of 25-OH Vitamin D2, Vitamin D binding proteins, 25-OH Vitamin D metabolites such as 24, 25 (OH)2 Vitamin D, and C-3
epimers of 25-OH Vitamin D.

2002) and using the chemical shift difference of the diastereomeric protons at C-26 (Agrawal 2005) revealed that compound 1 was a 7:3 mixture of the 25R and 25S
epimers. Compound 1a/b was, therefore, identified as a mixture (7:3, 25R.25S
epimers) of 26-O-[beta]-D-glucopyranosyl-furost-5-ene-3,22,26-triol 3-O-[[alpha]-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1[right arrow]-3)- [beta]-D-glucopyranosyl-(1[right arrow]2)]-[alpha]-Lrhamnopyranosyl-(1[right arrow]4)-[beta]-D-glucopyranoside (Fig.
For liquid chromatographic separation of the
epimers, different stationary-phase chemistries have been investigated.

22R homohopanes are more abundant than 22S
epimers and the 22S/(22S + 22R) homohopane ratio of oil shale samples is very low (Table 6).
