A relatively rapid method for the qualitative and semiquantitative analysis of the components present in the antimycin A complex is described. The method is based on the pyrolysis of the antimycin A complex and subsequent gas liquid chromatography of the pyrolysate. The mass spectra of isolated GLC fractions from the pyrolysate of pure antimycin A components are also used to support the chemical structure of the antimycin molecule.
