Viomycin. Part I. The structure of the guanidine-containing unit

Abstract

Viomycidine, a bicyclic guanidino-amino-acid obtained from viomycin by acidic hydrolysis, is shown to be an artefact derived by cyclisation from a monocyclic guanidino-carbinol unit. Several reactions of viomycin find close analogies in the chemistry of tetrodotoxin, which also contains a guanidino-carbinol fragment. The structural relationship between viomycin and capreomycin has been established.
