Simple isolation of antimycin A1 and some of its toxicological properties.

An unidentified actinomycete, RTI 246, was found to produce antimycin A(1) in high yield on a high protein cereal medium. The antibiotic compound was extracted from the cells and isolated in pure form by crystallization. It was identified by ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopy and by alkaline hydrolysis to antimycic acid and a neutral lactone. The intravenous LD(50) was 1.0 mg/kg in white mice, whereas the intraperitoneal LD(50) was 1.50 +/- 0.19 mg/kg. Animals receiving an intraperitoneal injection displayed an incoordination of the hind limbs and impaired reflexes before showing signs of respiratory distress. These findings indicated that antimycin A(1) possesses a neurotoxic property separate from its well-documented property as a respiratory poison.

Determination of optically active thiopental, thiamylal, and their metabolites in human urine.

Methods involving solvent extraction and gas-liquid chromatography have been developed for quantitative determination of certain thiobarbiturates and their major metabolites in urine. The structures of the metabolites identified were confirmed by the use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The present analytic methods were applied to the quantitative determination of (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-thiopental as well as (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-thiamylal and their major metabolites excreted in human urine. Minor metabolites were isolated and identified.
