The metabolism of barbital in cultures of Streptomyces mediterranei was studied. Small quantities were transformed during the fermentation. Four compounds were isolated and identified as 5-ethyldialuric acid, 5-ethylbarbituric acid, 5-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-5-ethylbarbituric acid, and diethylmalonic acid monoureid. The influence of these compounds on the production of rifamycin was of minor importance. With the aid of C(14)-barbital, it was established that neither barbital nor any of its metabolic products can be considered as precursors of the rifamycin B.
研究了巴比妥在地中海链霉菌培养物中的代谢情况。发酵过程中有少量巴比妥发生了转化。分离并鉴定出了四种化合物,分别为5-乙基二脲酸、5-乙基巴比妥酸、5-(β-羟乙基)-5-乙基巴比妥酸和二乙基丙二酸单脲。这些化合物对利福霉素产量的影响较小。借助C(14)-巴比妥证实,巴比妥及其任何代谢产物都不能被视为利福霉素B的前体。
