T. Uematsu and R. J. Suhadolnikt abstract: The biosynthesis of the pyrrolopyrimidine nucleo-side antibiotic, toyocamycin elaborated by Streptomyces rimosus, has been studied. Adenine-2-14C, but not adenine-8-14C, is incorporated into toyocamycin. All of the 14C in the toyocamycin from the adenine-2-l4C experiments resides in C-2 of toyocamycin. This was shown by the conversion of toyocamycin (1) into the 3-carboxyethyl derivative (5). C-2 of toyocamycin was released as formic acid by heating 5 in alkali. 5-Carboxy-4-hydroxy-7-(/3-D-ribofuranosyl) pyirolo-[2, 3-c/jpyrimidine (8), synthesized from the intermediate 2-amino-4-carboxy-3-carbonyl-[lV-(2-carboxyethyl)]-l-/3-D-ribofuranosylpyrrole (7), bytreatment with formic acid and acetic anhydride was not radioactive. Compounds 2, 3, 4, 5, I-S uring the past 18 years 34 nucleoside antibiotics, having a wide spectrum of chemical structures and biological activity against viruses, bacterial, and tumor cells, have been isolated from the bacteria and fungi (Suhadolnik, 1970). The importance of adenine and/or adenosine in the biosynthesis of the nucleoside antibiotics, cordycepin (3'-deoxyadenosine), 3'-amino-3'-deoxyadenosine, 3'-acetamido-3'-deoxyadenosine, psicofuranine, decoyinine, tubercidin, and
