Biochemical Studies on Sclerotinia Libertiana

Part 4. (I) Uterus-contracting Constituent. (iv)

Abstract

The uterus-contracting constituent of Sclerotinia fungus extract was ascertained not to be alkaloid or biogenic amine.
Most part of the active fraction was precipitated by alcohol (60_??_95%), and the remaining liquid had a small effect.
The active fraction, which contains N and has a glycosidelike nature, lost the activity after acid hydrolysis, but it did not change after autolyzation of maceration juice.
