Can somebody with a Merck tell me the solubility in ethyl alcohol (95%
or lower) of Oenothein B; CAS.NO:104987-36-2 ?

I don't live near a major library. If it's not in the Merck, where
could I get the info?

I know it's very soluble in water.

Oenothein B is an ellagitannin found in some plants that is a 5-Alpha-
Reductase-Inhibitor, and has shown anti-tumor acitivity in laboratory
tests (prostate cancer cell line). (I don't want to get into
supporting/defending/explaining it here, the patents and references
can be found with Google - Epilobium plant species)

It's full name:
D-Glucose, cyclic 4,6-(4-(6-carboxy-2,3,4-trihydroxyphenoxy)-4',5,5',
6,6'-pentahydroxy(1,1'-biphenyl)-2,2'-dicarboxylate) 2-(2-((6,6'-
dicarboxy-2,2',3,3',4'-pentahydroxy(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yl)oxy)-3,4,5-
trihydroxybenzoate) 3-(3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate), cyclic ester with D-
glucose 3-(3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate), (2(S),4(S))-

Thanks
