Abstract

A new Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor named hydroxyakalone was isolated from the culture broth of a marine bacterium Agrobacterium aurantiacum N-81106. Structure of hydroxyakalone was determined to be 4-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-3-one-6-ol by the spectral studies of hydroxyakalone and its permethyl derivative. The concentration to induce 50% inhibition (IC50) was 4.6 microM against Xanthine Oxidase.
