  <name>Theasaponin A4</name>
  <description>4,5-lta4, also known as 4r,5r-ep 7t9t11c14c-20:4 or 4r,5r-epoxy-7e,9e,11z,14z-eicosatetraenoic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as epoxy fatty acids. Epoxy fatty acids are fatty acids containing an oxirane ring as part of the aliphatic chain. Thus, 4,5-lta4 is considered to be an eicosanoid lipid molecule. 4,5-lta4 is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4,5-lta4 can be found in tea, which makes 4,5-lta4 a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. </description>
