Studies on Trichomycin. IV

Abstract

Counter-current distribution (C.C.D.) has been applied to the purification of trichomycin, and it has been found that the main fraction is composed of two similar constituents. These constituents have been separated, their properties investigated, the origin of the decomposition products from ‘purified trichomycin’ reported in the previous paper has been studied, and a partial structure for trichomycin has also been proposed.
