BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A β-lactam antibiotic, an amino-glycoside, isoniazid or rifampicin has been conventionally used in treatment or prophylaxis of microbial infections including tubercule bacillus. Recently there have been a lot of bacteria resistant to these antibiotics. It is desirable to develop new compounds which are different type antimicrobial agents from conventional ones.
On the other hand it has been known that capuramycin having a formula shown below exhibits anti-tubercule bacillus activity (J. Antibiotics. 29, (8), 1047-1053 (1986)). 




We found new compounds of formula (I), (XI), (XII), (XIV), (XV) or (XVI), which do not show any cross resistance to conventional medicaments, in the cultivation products of a microorganism. We prepared the derivatives of compounds described above and capuramycin. We studied the physiological activity of these derivatives for several years and found that these derivatives exhibit excellent antibiotic activity.
The compounds of the present invention can provide a method effective to treat and prevent infection diseases including ones arising from bacteria resistant to the conventional antibiotics. Compounds of formula (I), (XI), (XII), (XIV), (XV) or (XVI) are also useful starting materials for preparation of the compounds of the present invention having excellent antibiotic activity.

Tsukuba/Ibaraki-ken in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
Mycological properties of Strain SANK60196 are as follows:
1) Morphological Appearance
Strain SANK60196 showed morphological appearance as described below after cultivation at 28° C. for 14 days on a medium specified by International Streptomyces Project (which will hereinafter be abbreviated as “ISP”) [refer to Shirling. E. B. and Gottlieb. D., “Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 16, 313-340 (1996)”.] Observation through an optical microscope indicates that substrate mycelia of SANK60196 are favourably groan and branched and show yellowish grey, yellowish brown or pale olive colour, but unlike the strain belonging to Nocardia spp., does not show cleavage or zigzag extension. Aerial mycelia exhibit simple branching. The form of the spore chain is straight or curved and its chain is formed of 10 to 50 or greater spores. Observation through a scanning electron microscope shows that the spore has an oval shape and it has a smooth surface structure. The spore is 0.6-0.8×0.7-1.2 mm in dimension. The spore is formed only on the aerial mycelia. Formation of sporangia, axial division of aerial mycelia, cleavage of aerial mycelia and sclerotia are not recognized.

4) Chemotaxonomic Properties

The cell wall of the present strain was investigated in accordance with the method of Hasegawa, et al. [refer to Hasegawa, T., et al., “The Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 29, 319-322(1983)], resulting in the detection of LL-diaminopimelic acid. The main sugar component in the whole cells of the present strain was investigated in accordance with the method of M. P. Lechevalier [refer to Lechevalier. M. P., “Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 71, 934-944(1968)]. As a result, no characteristic component was detected.
The above-described mycological properties have revealed that the present strain belongs to Streptomyces spp. among the actinomycetes. It has been made clear that the present strain is markedly related to Streptomyces griseus. as a result of comparison with the microorganism described in the ISP strains by Shirling and Gottlieb [refer to Shirling. E. B. and Gottlieb. D., “International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 18, 68-189 and 279-392 (1968); 19, 391-512 (1969); 22, 265-394 (1972)”], the microorganism described in “The actinomycetes Vol. 2” written by Waksman [refer to Waksman. S. A., “The actinomycetes 2 (1961)”], with the microorganism described in Bergey's Manual edited by Buchanan and Gibbons [refer to R. E. Buchanan and N. E. Gibbons, “Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology”, 8th edition (1974)], with the microorganism described in “Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology”, edited by Williams [refer to Williams. S. T., et al., “Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology 4 (1989)“] and with the microorganism described in the recent literature about actinomycetes belonging to Streptomyces spp. It has however been recognized to be different from Streptomyces griseus, because it produces a yellowish grey soluble pigment on a glycerin-asparagine agar medium and a pale yellowish brown soluble pigment on a peptone-yeast extract-iron agar medium but produces a soluble pigment neither on a potato extract-carrot extract agar medium nor on a water agar medium; the maximum growth temperature is 40° C.; and it is grown in the presence of 7% of salt.
The present strain having such mycological characteristics is considered to be a novel strain different from Streptomyces griseus, but it is impossible to distinguish them based on only the above-described differences. The present inventors therefore identified the present strain as Streptomyces griseus SANK60196.
This strain was internationally deposited with Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry (1-3, Higashi 1-chome. Tsukuba-shi. Ibaraki-ken. 305. JAPAN) as of Feb. 22, 1996, with the accession number of FERM BP-5420.
A description was heretofore made on Strain SANK60196. It is known that various properties of actinomycetes are not fixed but easily change naturally or synthetically. The strain usable in the present invention embraces all of such variants. In other words, the present invention embraces all the strains belonging to the Streptomyces spp. and capable of producing Compounds A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2.
Any synthetic or natural medium can be used for cultivation for microorganisms capable of producing Compounds A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 of the present invention, insofar as it contains, as needed, a substance selected from carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inorganic ions and organic nutrition sources.
Known carbon sources, nitrogen sources and inorganic salts conventionally employed for cultivation of the strain of the eumycetes or actinomycetes and are utilisable by a microorganism can be used as such nutrition sources.
Specific examples of the carbon source include glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, mannitol, glycerol, dextrin, oats, rye, corn starch, potato, corn meal, soybean meal, cotton seed oil, thick malt syrup, theriac, soybean oil, citric acid and tartaric acid. They may be used either singly or in combination. The amount of the carbon source to be added usually varies, but not limited to, within a range of from 1 to 10 wt. %.
As the nitrogen source, a substance containing protein or hydrolyzate thereof can usually be employed. Preferred examples of the nitrogen source include soybean meal, wheat bran, peanut meal, cotton seed meal, casein hydrolyzate. Farmamine, fish meal, corn steep liquor, peptone, meat extract, pressed yeast, dry yeast, yeast extract, malt extract, potato, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate, it is preferred to use the nitrogen source either singly or in combination in an amount ranging from 0.2 to 6 wt. % of the amount of the medium.
As the nutrition inorganic salt, ordinarily employed salts from which an ion is available, such as sodium salts, ammonium salts, calcium salts, phosphates, sulfates, chlorides and carbonates can be used. In addition, trace metals such as potassium, calcium cobalt, manganese, iron and magnesium are usable.
For the production of Compound A-500359A, the addition of cobalt or yeast extract is particularly effective.
Upon culturing the microorganism capable of producing Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2. an inhibitor of antibiotic biosynthesis can be added to produce useful related compounds. Compound A500359M-2 can be produced, for example, by using, as a medium additive, S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine or salt thereof which is an aspartate kinase inhibitor. The additive can be added to give its final concentration ranging from 1 to 100 mM. Preferably, use of it to give a final concentration of 10 mM permits favorable production of Compound A-500359M-2.
Upon liquid culture, a silicone oil, vegetable oil or surfactant can be added as an antifoamer.
The medium used for the cultivation of Strain SANK 60196 to produce Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 preferably has a pH ranging from 5.0 to 8.0.
The temperature which allows Strain SANK60196 to grow ranges from 12 to 36° C. It is preferred to cultivate the strain at 18 to 28° C. in order to produce Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2, of which 19 to 23° C. is more preferred.
Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 is available by aerobic culture of Strain SANK 60196. Ordinarily-employed solid culture, shake culture, and aeration agitation culture can be used as such culturing method.
For small-scale culturing, agitation of the culture for several days at 19 to 23° C. is preferred. Culturing is started by growing a seed culture in a single or two stage process in an Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a baffle (water flow adjusting wall) or an ordinarily-employed Erlenmeyer flask. A carbon source and a nitrogen source can be used in combination as a medium in the seed culture. The flask or seed culture may be shaken at 19 to 23° C. for 5 days or until the seed cultures grow sufficiently in a thermostat incubator. The seed cultures thus grown can be used for inoculation of the second seed culture medium or a production medium. When the seed cultures are used under an intermediate growing step, they are allowed to grow essentially in a similar manner, followed by inoculation of a part of them into a production medium. The flask into which the seed cultures has been inoculated is subjected to culturing with shaking at a constant temperature for several days and after completion of the culturing, the cultured medium in the flask is centrifuged or filtered.
For large-scale cultivation, on the other hand, culturing in a jar fermenter or tank equipped with an agitator and an aeration apparatus is preferred. Prior to culturing in such a container, the culture medium is heated to 125° C. for sterilization. After cooling, the seed cultures which have been allowed to grow in advance by the above-described method are inoculated on the sterilized medium. Then, culturing is carried out with aeration and agitation at 19 to 23° C. This method is suitable for obtaining a large amount of compounds.
Compound A-500359M-2 can be produced by adding, as an aspartate kinase inhibitor, an aqueous solution of S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine or salt thereof which has been filter sterilized in advance to a sterilized medium at the beginning time of the cultivation or during cultivation.
The production of Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 produced can be measured by sampling a portion of the cultured broth and subjecting it to high performance liquid chromatography. The titre of Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 usually reaches a peak in 3 to 9 days.
After completion of the cultivation, the cell component is separated from the cultured broth by separation with the aid of diatomaceous earth or centrifugation. Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 present in the filtrate or supernatant is purified by utilizing its physico-chemical properties with HPLC analytical data as an index. Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 present in the filtrate can be purified by using adsorbents singly or in combination, such as activated charcoal (product of Wako Pure Chemicals) and an adsorbing resin such as “Amberlite XAD-2 or XAD4” (trade name; product of Rohm & Haas), and “Diaion HP-10, HP-20, CHP-20P or HP-50, Sepabeads SP205, SP206 or SP207” (trade name; product of Mitsubishi Chemical). Compound A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 in the solution can be separated from impurities by passing a solution containing them through the layer of such adsorbents, or by eluting the adsorbed compounds from the layer with aqueous methanol, aqueous acetone or aqueous normal butanol.
Compounds A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 thus obtained can be purified by adsorption column chromatography using an adsorbent such as silica gel. “Florisil” (trade name), or “Cosmosil” (trade name; product of Nacalai Tesque); partition column chromatography using “Sephadex LH-20” (trade name; product of Pharmacia Biotech); gel filtration chromatography using “Toyopearl HW40F” (trade name; product of TOSOH Corp); or high performance liquid chromatography using a normal phase or reversed phase column; or the like.
Compounds A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G or A-500359M-2 according to the present invention can be separated and purified by using the above-exemplified separation and purification means singly or in combination as needed, or in some cases, by using one of them in repetition.
Compounds A-500359A, A-500359C, A-500359D, A-500359G and A-500359M-2 of the present invention thus obtained are novel compounds not published in the literature but their antibacterial activity can be determined by a method known to those skilled in the art.

After completion of cultivation, the cultured broth (30 L) obtained in Example 6 was filtered with the aid of “Celite 545”.
Upon purification as described later, the active fraction was monitored by the following high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
Column: “Senshu Pak ODS-H-2151” 6φ×150 mm (product of Senshu Scientific Co., Ltd.)
Solvent: 8% acetonitrile-0.04% aqueous trifluoroacetic acid
Flow rate: 1.5 ml/min
Detection: UV 210 nm
Retention time: 13.6 minutes
30 L of the resulting filtrate was charged on a “Diaion HP-20” column (6 L). After washing the column with 12 L of deionised water, the adsorbed substance was eluted with 10% aqueous acetone. The fraction eluted in 12 to 24 L was concentrated to remove acetone. The residue was lyophilized, whereby 12 g of a crude powdery product was obtained.
The resulting crude powdery product was dissolved in 650 ml of distilled water. The resulting solution was charged on a “Diaion CHP-20P” column (1 L). The column was then washed with 2 L of distilled water, and the adsorbed substance was eluted with 2 L of 20% aqueous methanol and 4 L of 30% aqueous methanol. The 2 to 4 L portion of the 30% aqueous methanol eluate was concentrated to remove methanol. The residue was lyophilized to yield 2.8 g of a powder.
The resulting powder was dissolved in 50 ml of distilled water and the resulting solution was charged on a “Toyopearl HW40F” column (500 ml), followed by development of the column with distilled water. The eluate was fractionated in portions of 12 ml, each. The active substance having a retention time of 13.6 minutes in the above-described HPLC was eluted in Fraction Nos. 40 to 47. The resulting fractions were concentrated and lyophilized to give 841 mg of a powder.
The resulting powder was dissolved in 23 ml of water and a 1 ml portion of the resulting solution was charged on an HPLC column (“Senshu Pak ODS-H-5251” (20 mm×250 mm; product of Senshu Scientific)) equilibrated with an aqueous solution containing 0.04% trifluoroacetic acid, 4% acetonitrile and 10% methanol. The column was developed at a flow rate of 10 ml/min. The ultraviolet absorption of the active substance of 210 nm was detected and a peak eluted during 23 to 26 minutes was collected by fractionation, the preparation being carried out 23 times.

The resulting powder was dissolved in 40 ml of water again and the resulting solution was charged on the above-described HPLC column using instead, a 7% aqueous acetonitrile solution containing 0.04% of TFA as a developing solvent. The column was developed at a rate of 10 ml/min. The ultraviolet absorption of the active substance of 210 nm was detected and a peak eluted during 33 to 35 minutes was collected again by fractionation the process being carried out in 40 times.
