Three new 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors, designated as BU-4601 A, B and C, were found in the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. strain No. AA2807. Their structures were identified as isodecyl, isoundecyl and isolauryl esters of 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid, respectively. Based on their structures, five related esters were synthesized and evaluated for biological activity as inhibitors of 5-lipoxyg...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, C7H10N2O4, systematic name 5-hy-droxy-5-propyl-pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione, form a hydrogen-bonded framework which is based on three independent hydrogen bonds, N-H⋯O(carbon-yl), N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) and O-H⋯O(carbon-yl). This framework has the topology of the 5-connected nov net. Each mol-ecule is linked to five other mol-ecules via six hydrogen bonds, and th...
