Reference Reading

1. The structure of ekatetrone, a metabolite of strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens
V Prikrylová, M Podojil, P Sedmera, J Vokoun, Z Vanĕk J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1978 Sep;31(9):855-62. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.31.855.
The structure of ekatetrone has been determined from physico-chemical data obtained using the natural compound, its derivatives and products of degradation reactions. Ekatetrone was found to be the lactone of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-(1'-hydroxy-2'-carbamoyl)ethyl-9,10-anthraquinone-3-acetic acid (I). It is proposed that ekatetrone is related, biogenetically, to protetrone.
2. Isolation of ekatetrone, a new metabolite of producing variants of Streptomyces aureofaciens
M Podojil, Z Vanĕk, V Prikrylová, M Blumauerová J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1978 Sep;31(9):850-4. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.31.850.
From a mixture of substances formed by producing strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens under conditions of submerged fermentation a new metabolite, ekatetrone, was isolated. Its isolation and basic physical and chemical data are described. Ekatetrone is a quinone derivative with a carboxamide group. In tests in vitro with cells of Ehrlich's ascites tumour evidence was provided that ekatetrone inhibits proteo- and nucleosynthesis.
