Chemical structure

Properties

On catalytic hydrogenation absorbs approx one mole of hydrogen and forms dihydrostreptomycin B. Yields maltol on alkaline hydrolysis. When treated with dil acids liberates streptidine (or an isomer of it) isolated as the sulfate monohydrate, C8H18N6O4.H2SO4.H2O.

Derivative

Trihydrochloride monohydrate.
C27H49N7O17.3HCl.H2O; mol wt 871.11.
C 37.23%, H 6.25%, N 11.26%, O 33.06%, Cl 12.21%.

Properties

White, amorphous powder; mp 190-200° (corr, decompn) after drying in vacuo at 100°. [α]D25 47° (c = 1.35 in water). Appears to have about one-fourth of the antibiotic activity of streptomycin trihydrochloride.
