使用
Streptonigrin is an unusual aminoquinone with broad biological activity against bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses and tumour cells. Streptonigrin acts as a bioreductive agent, highly dependent on interactions with metal ions, notably iron, and plays an important role in free radical production through redox cycling of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1).

純化方法
Streptonigrin is purified by TLC on pH 7-buffered silica gel plates (made from a slurry of Silica Gel 60 and 400mL of 0.05M phosphate buffer pH 7.0) and eluted with 5% MeOH/CHCl3. Material from the extracted band recrystallises from Me2CO or dioxane as almost black plates or needles. It is soluble in pyridine, Me2NCHO, aqueous NaHCO3 (some dec), and slightly soluble in MeOH, EtOH, EtOAc and H2O. It has UV max 248, 375-380nm ( 38,400 and 17,400). [Weinreb et al. J Am Chem Soc 104 536 1982, Rao et al. J Am Chem Soc 85 2532 1963.] Itis antineoplastic and causes severe bone marrow depression [Wilson et al. Antibiot Chemother 11 147 1961].
