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.
根据使用天然化合物、其衍生物和降解反应产物获得的物理化学数据,已确定了四酮的结构。发现四酮是1,8 - 二羟基 - 2 -(1'-羟基 - 2'-氨基甲酰基)乙基 - 9,10 - 蒽醌 - 3 - 乙酸(I)的内酯。有人提出,从生源论角度来看,四酮与原四酮有关。
