I am a clinical research professional. I have a question regarding clinical chemistry. I would like to know that whether it is possible to get testosterone undecanoate from ursolic acid and vice-versa by the mean of specific chemical reaction or mechanism? Testosterone undecanoate and ursolic acid both have the same chemical formula C30H48O3 and thus molar mass of 456.7g/mol. But the chemical structures, position of functional groups and arrangement of atoms differ, Therefore,can be considered as isomers of each other.

There is no simple reaction that would interchange the two.
