THE biochemical importance of phosphoric esters in normal tissues is well recognised, the subject having been discussed fully in the Annual Reviews of Biochemistry. The phosphoric esters of malignant tumours have not been as thoroughly investigated and none of them has been positively identified. The occurrence of an extremely soluble phosphoric ester in the filtrate from the basic lead acetate precipitation of a trichloroacetic acid extract of tumour was reported by Outhouse [1933]. This appears to be similar to the compound obtained by Booth [1935] from kidney, liver and brain. The author [1935] has recently reported the occurrence of this compound in twenty normal tissues as well as in a series of tumours, malignant and non-malignant. In addition, he reported two new phosphoric esters:(1) a compound whose empirical formula suggests the phosphoric ester of an aminohexahydric alcohol,(2) a compound which appears to be an amino-ethyl phosphoric ester. This paper is a report on the isolation, purification and identification of the latter compound.Isolation and purification. The material used was bovine malignant tumours, ranging in weight from 500 g. to 10 kg. They were minced and extracted with 3 volumes of ice-cold 4% trichloroacetic acid as soon as possible (generally about 2 hours) after the killing of the animal. The trichloroacetic acid extract was allowed to stand for 1 hour and then filtered. Powdered baryta was added to thefiltrate until it was pink to phenolphthalein. The precipitate was centrifuged off and rejected. To the solution 5 g. of mercuric acetate per litre were added. The mercury precipitate was removed by centrifuging and basic lead acetate was added until no further precipitation of organic phosphate occurred. The lead precipitate was removed bycentrifuging, washedwith water and decomposed with hydrogen sulphide. After centrifuging, the superuiatant liquid was freed from H2S by aeration, and baryta was added to ituntil PH 10 was reached; it was then filtered into 4 volumes of 95% alcohol. The precipitate was filtered off, washedwith alcohol and with ether and dried. It was dissolved in 10 parts of water and twice reprecipitated from 4 volumesof alcohol. The barium salt was converted into the brucine salt and a brucine fractionation was made bycrystallising the brucine salts from methyl alcohol to which increasing amounts of acetone were added. The main fraction (No. 2), which accounts for 60% of the total phosphorus, was boiled in methyl alcohol. Dissociation of the brucine salt occurred and the precipitate obtained from the boiling showed 20 8% phosphorus. It was dissolved in water and reprecipitated from acetone.
