Physicochemical properties of gougerotin, a new antibiotic, were examined and it was assumed that gougerotin is a basic substance with molecular formula C16H25O8N7 and has a peptide-like bond. Since it forms a dipicrate, it is assumed to have two amino groups, one of which was found to be a primary amino group, determined by the Van Slyke method. It also has an amide-form nitrogen. The ultraviolet spectrum of gougerotin is very similar to that of cytidine and it was assumed that gougerotin has a moiety similar to pyrimidine nucleoside in its structure.
