Particulars of microorganism used for the production of the WS-9326A and WS-9326B will be explained in the following.
THE MICROORGANISM The microorganism which can be used for the production of the WS-9326A and WS-9326B is a WS-9326A and/or WS-9326B-producing strain belonging to the genus Streptomyces, among which Streptomyces violaceoniger No. 9326 has been newly isolated from a soil sample collected at Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
A lyophilized sample of the newly isolated Streptomyces violaceoniger No. 9326 has been deposited with the Fermentation Research Institute, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology (1-3, Higashi 1-chome, Tsukuba-shi, Ibaraki-ken 305, Japan) under the number of FERM BP-1667 (deposited date: Jan. 20, 1988).
It is to be understood that the production of the novel WS-9326A and WS-9326B is not limited to the use of the particular organism described herein, which is given for the illustrative purpose only. This invention also includes the use of any mutants which are capable of producing the WS-9326A and WS-9326B including natural mutants as well as artificial mutants which can be produced from the described organism by conventional means such as irradiation of X-rays, ultra-violet radiation, treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 2-aminopurine, and the like.
The Streptomyces violaceoniger No. 9326 has the following morphological, cultural, biological and physiological characteristics.
[1] Morphological Characteristics
The methods described by Shirling and Gottlieb (Shirling, E. B. and D. Gottlieb: Methods for characterization of Streptomyces species. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 16, 313-340, 1966) were employed for this taxonomic study.
Morphological observations were made with light and electron microscopes on cultures grown at 30� C. for 14 days on oatmeal agar, yeast-malt extract agar and inorganic salts-starch agar.
The vegetative mycelium developed well without fragmentation. The aerial mycelium branched monopodially and formed spiral chains of spores with 10 to 30 spores per chain. The spores had a smooth surface and were oval in shape with a size of 0.6-0.8�0.8-1.3 μm. Sclerotic granules, sporangia and zoospores were not observed.
[2] Cultural Characteristics
The incubation was carried out at 30� C. for 21 days. The color names used in this study were taken from Methuen Handbook of Colour (Kornerup, A. and J. H. Wanscher: Methuen Handbook of Colour, Methuen, London, 1978). The results are shown in Table 1.

The aerial mycelium was gray to brownish gray. Part of colony became black and moist, and showed hygroscopic character on most agar media, Reverse side of growth was yellowish brown, brown and dark brown. Reverse mycelium pigment was not pH sensitive. Melanoid pigments and other soluble pigments were not produced.
The cell wall analysis was performed by the methods of Becker et al. (Becker, B., M. P. Lechevalier, R. E. Gordon and H. A. Lechevalier: Rapid differentiation between Nocardia and Streptomyces by paper chromatography of whole cell hydrolysates: Appl. Microbiol., 12, 421-423, 1964) and Yamaguchi (Yamaguchi, T.: Comparison of the cell wall composition of morphologically distinct actinomycetes: J. Bacteriol., 89, 444-453, 1965). Analysis of whole cell hydrolysates of strain No. 9326 showed the presence of LL-diaminopimelic acid.
Accordingly, the cell wall of this strain is believed to be of type I.
[3] Biological and Physiological Properties
Physiological properties and utilization of carbon sources are shown in Table 2 and 3, respectively.
Utilization of carbon sources was examined according to the methods of Pridham and Gottlieb (Pridham, T. G. and D. Gottlieb: The utilization of carbon compounds by some Actinomycetales as an aid for species determination: J. Bacteriol., 56, 107-114, 1948).

The morphology and chemical characteristics of strain No. 9326 permitted a clear assignment of the organism to the genus Streptomyces. Strain No. 9326 was compared with Streptomyces species described in the 8th edition of Bergey's manual (Buchanan, R. E. and N. E. Gibbons: Bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology, eight edition. The Williams and Wilkins Co., Baltimore, 1974), Streptomyces species described in Shirling's ISP reports [(Shirling, E. B. and D. Gottlieb: cooperative description of type culture of Streptomyces.2. species descriptions from first study. Intern. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 18: 69-189, 1968), (Shirling, E. B. and D. Gottlieb: Cooperative description of type culture of Streptomyces.3. Additional species descriptions from first and second studies. Intern. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 18: 279-392, 1968) and (Shirling, E. B. and D. Gottlieb: Cooperative description of type culture of Streptomyces.4. Species descriptions from the second, third and fourth studies. Intern. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 19: 391-512, 1969)], the species listed on "Approved lists of bacterial names" (Skerman, V. B. D.; V. McGowan & P. H. A. Sneath: Approved list of bacterial names. Intern. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 30: 225-420, 1980) and the species described in the other references [(Williams, S. T.: M. Goodfellow, G. Alderson, E. M. H. Wellington, P. H. A. Sneath and M. J. Sackin: Numerical classification of Streptomyces and related genera. J. Gen. Microbiol. 129: 1743-1813, 1983) and (Dietz, A.: Criteria for characterization of Hygroscopicus strains. In "Actinomycetes; The Boundary Microorganisms" pp183-191 Edited by T. Arai, 1976)].
As a result, it was found that strain No. 9326 proved to closely resemble Streptomyces violaceoniger. Therefore, strain No. 9326 was identified as Streptomyces violaceoniger and designated Streptomyces violaceoniger No.9326.
PRODUCTION OF WS-9326A AND WS-9326B The novel WS-9326A and WS-9326B of this invention can be produced by culturing a WS-9326A and/or WS-9326B-producing strain belonging to the genus Streptomyces (e.g. Streptomyces violaceoniger No.9326, FERM BP-1667) in a nutrient medium.
In general, the WS-9326A and WS-9326B can be produced by culturing the WS-9326A and/or WS-9326B-producing strain in an aqueous nutrient medium containing sources of assimilable carbon and nitrogen, preferably under aerobic conditions (e.g. shaking culture, submerged culture, etc.).
The preferred sources of carbon in the nutrient medium are carbohydrates such as glucose, xylose, galactose, glycerin, starch, dextrin, and the like.
Other sources which may be included are maltose, rhamnose, raffinose, arabinose, mannose, salicin, sodium succinate, and the like.
The carbon and nitrogen sources, though advantageously employed in combination, need not be used in their pure form, because less pure materials which contain traces of growth factors and considerable quantities of mineral nutrients, are also suitable for use. When desired, there may be added to the medium mineral salts such as sodium or calcium carbonate, sodium or potassium phosphate, sodium or potassium chloride, sodium or potassium iodide, magnesium salts, copper salts, cobalt salts and the like. If necessary, especially when the culture medium foams seriously, a defoaming agent such as liquid paraffin, fatty oil, plant oil, mineral oil or silicone may be added.
As the conditions for the production of the WS-9326A and WS-9326B in massive amounts, submerged aerobic culturing conditions are preferred therefor. For the production in small amounts, a shaking or surface culture in a flask or bottle is employed. Furthermore, when the growth is carried out in large tanks, it is preferable to use the vegetative form of the organism for inoculation in the production tanks in order to avoid growth lag in the process of production of the WS-9326A and WS-9326B. Accordingly, it is desirable first to produce a vegetative inoculum of the organism by inoculating a relatively small quantity of culture medium with spores or mycelia of the organism and culturing said inoculated medium, and then transferring the cultured vegetative inoculum aseptically to large tanks. The medium in which the vegetative inoculum is produced is substantially the same as or different from the medium utilized for the production of the WS-9326A and WS-9326B.
Thus produced WS-9326A and WS-9326B can be recovered from the culture medium by conventional means which are commonly used for the recovery of other known biologically active substances. The WS-9326A and WS-9326B produced are found in the cultured filtrate and mycelium, and accordingly the WS-9326A and WS-9326B can be isolated and purified from the filtrate and the mycelium, which are obtained by filtering or centrifuging the cultured broth, by a conventional method such as concentration under reduced pressure, lyophilization, extraction with a conventional solvent, pH adjustment, treatment with a conventional resin (e.g. anion or cation exchange resin, non-ionic adsorption resin, etc.), treatment with a conventional absorbent (e.g. activated charcoal, silicic acid, silica gel cellulose, alumina, etc.), crystallization, recrystallization, and the like.

BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THE PEPTIDE DERIVATIVES The peptide derivatives (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof possess pharmacological activities such as substance P antagonism, neurokinin A (substance K) antagonism, analgesic action or the like, and therefore are useful for the treatment and prevention of asthma, various pains and the like.
As an example for showing such pharmacological activity, some pharmacological test data are illustrated in the following.
(1) Radioligand binding assay
(a) Crude membrane preparation
Female Wister rats (200 g) were used and all reagents were purchased from Sigma Chemical Company. Whole brains (4 g) were minced into small pieces, and homogenized in 8 volumes of ice cold Medium I (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 5 mM MnCl2 0.02% BSA, 2μ g/ml chymostatin, 4 μg/ml leupeptin and 40 μg/ml bacitracin) with a Ultra-Disperser (YAMATO MODEL LK-21). The homogenate was either stored at -20� C. or used in binding experiments immediately.
Male albino Hartley strain guinea pigs (600 g) were sacrificed by decapitation. The trachea and lungs were removed, and stored at -80� C. until use. These tissues (150 g) were thawed and homogenized in 500 ml buffer (0.25 M sucrose, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 0.1 mM EDTA) with a compact mixer (MATSUDEN MJ-761). The tissue was homogenized with a Ultra-Disperser (YAMATO MODEL LK-21) at a setting of maximum range for 10-s at 10-s intervals with cooling between homogenizations (total homogenization's time: 60 seconds). The homogenate was centrifuged (900�g for 10 min.) to remove tissue clumps and the supernatant centrifuged at 14000�g for 20 min. to yield pellets which were referred to as crude membrane fractions. The pellets were resuspended in Medium I, homogenized with a teflon homogenizer and centrifuged at 14000�g for 20 min. The pellets were stored at -20� C.
(b) 3 H-substance P binding to preparative membranes
3 H-Substance P (1 nM, New England Nuclear) was incubated with 50 μl of the membrane preparation in medium I at 4� C. for 30 minutes in a final volume of 250 μl. At the end of the incubation period, its contents were quickly filtered over a whatmann GF/B glass fibre filter (pretreated with 0.1% polyethyleneimine for 3hours prior to use) using cell harvester (BRANDEL M-24S). The filters were then washed ten times with a total of 3 ml of the washing buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5) at 0� C. The radioactivity was counted in 3 ml of Aquazol-2 in Packard sintillation counter (PACKARD TRI-CARB 4530).

(2) Effect of WS-9326A or tetrahydro-WS-9326A on guinea pig trachea
Tracheal spiral strips were prepared from adult, male, albino Hartley strain guinea pigs (600 g) according to standard technique and placed in jacketed 30 ml glass tissue bath. The tension of tracheal strips was measured isometrically by means of force displacement transducer coupled to a polygraph (BIOPHYSIOGRAPH 180 system, San-Ei Instrument). Tracheal strips (2 mm width and 50 mm length) were suspended under a resting tension of 500 mg in 30 ml organ baths containing warm (37� C.) oxygenated (95% O2 : 5% CO2) Tyrode solution of following composition: NaCl 137 mM (8 g/liter), KCl 2.7 mM (0.2 g/liter), CaCl2.2H2 O 1.8 mM (0.264 g/liter), MgCl2.6H2 O 1.02 mM (0.208 g/liter), NaHCO3 11.9 mM (1 g/liter), NaH2 PO4.2H2 O 0.42 mM (0.066 g/liter) and glucose 5.5 mM (1 g/liter). The tissues were equilibrated for 90 minutes and then WS-9326A or tetrahydro-WS-9326A was tested against various bronchoconstrictor (substance P 10-8 M and neurokinin A 10-9 M). The tension was recorded with a SAN-EI RECTIGRAPH-8S recorder (San-Ei Instrument).

The following Examples and Preparations are given for purpose of illustrating the present invention in detail.
EXAMPLE 1 Fermentation An aqueous seed medium (160 ml) containing soluble starch (1%), sucrose (1%), glucose (1%), cotton seed flour (1%), peptone (0.5%), soybean meal (0.5%) and calcium carbonate (0.2%) (pH was adjusted to 7.0 with 6N of sodium hydroxide) was poured into each of twenty 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks and sterilized at 120� C. for 30 minutes.
A loopful of slant culture of Streptomyces violaceoniger No. 9326 was inoculated to each of the media and cultured on a rotary shaker (220 rpm, 5.1 cm throw) at 30� C. for 3 days. The resultant seed culture was inoculated to 160 liter of sterile fermentation medium consisting of glycerin (3%), soybean meal (0.5%), ground soybean powder (1.5%), calcium carbonate (0.2%) and sodium iodide (NaI) (0.001%) in 200-liter stainless steel jar-fermentor. The fermentation was carried out at 30� C. for 3 days under aeration of 160 liters/minute and agitation of 200 rpm. An amount of WS-9326A in the fermentation broth was quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using HITACHI MODEL 655 pump. A steel column (4.6 mm inside diametor, 250 mm length) packed with an R-ODS-5 (YMC-PACKED COLUMN) was used at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/minute
Mobile phase used was a mixture of methanol and water (8:2). The sample for the HPLC assay was prepared as follows; an equal volume of acetone was added to a broth with vigorous stirring and stand for 1 hr and then centrifuged. The 5 μl of supernatant was injected to HITACHI MODEL 655 sample injector.
Isolation and Purification An equal volume of acetone was added to the culture broth (150 l) with stirring. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for one hour and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to 80 liter under reduced pressure, and was adjusted to pH 7.0 with 1N hydrochloric acid, and then extracted with 80 liter of ethyl acetate. The extract was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and applied to a column of silica gel (KIESELGEL 60, 70-230 mesh, available from Merck, 3 l). The column was washed with n-hexane (10 l), n-hexane-ethyl acetate [1:1] (10 l), ethyl acetate (20 l), and active substance was eluted from the column with acetone (6 l). The active fractions were dried under reduced pressure, and was subjected to a column chromatography on silica gel (KIESELGEL 60, 70-230 mesh, available from Merck, 1.2 l). The column was washed with chloroform-methanol [20:1] (5 l), and the object substance was eluted with a solution of chloroform-methanol [10:1] (6 l). The fraction was dried under reduced pressure to give a powder. The powder was dissolved in a small volume of methanol and applied to a column of NS gel (Nihon Seimitsu, 500 ml). The object substance was eluted with methanol-water [8:2] (2 l) and concentrated to 300 ml under reduced pressure, and then extracted with 500 ml of ethyl acetate. The extract was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give a powder (5 g). The powder (5 g) was dissolved in 10 ml of methanol (500 mg/ml) and applied to HPLC using a steel column (20 mm inside diameter, 250 mm length) packed with D-ODS-5 (YMC-PACKED COLUMN) and eluted with a mixture of Methanol and water [8:2] at a flow rate of 9.9 ml/minute. Thus obtained active fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to give a pure white powder (150 mg) of WS-9326A.
EXAMPLE 2 To a solution of WS-9326A (300 mg) in pyridine (4.5 ml) were added acetic anhydride (1.5 ml) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (1 mg) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness to afford an oil which was purified by preparative TLC (chloroform-methanol (10:1)).
The obtained product was triturated from diethyl ether to give triacetyl-WS-9326A (332 mg) as a colorless powder. Physical and chemical properties of the triacetyl-WS-9326A are as follows.

The resultant seed cultured broth (60 l) was inoculated to a sterilized production medium containing glycerin (3.0%), soybean meal (1.0%), chicken meat bone meal (1.0%), calcium carbonate (0.2%), sodium iodide (0.001%), ADEKANOL LG-109 (0.07%) and SILICONE KM-70 (0.05%) in a 4,000-liter stainless Steel jar-fermentor which had been sterilized at 120� C. for 30 minutes in advance, and cultured at 30� C. for 4 days under aeration of 3,000 liters/minute and agitation of 100 rpm.
The progress of the fermentation was monitored by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using HITACHI MODEL 655 pump. A steel column packed with a reverse phase silica gel "YMC-PACKED COLUMN R-ODS-5"(Trademark, Yamamura Chemical Institute) was used at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/minute. Mobile phase used was an aqueous solution of 45% acetonitrile. The sample for the HPLC assay was prepared as follows; an equal volume of acetone was added to a broth with vigorous stirring and the mixture was stand for one hour and then centrifuged. The 5 μl of supernatant was injected to the injector of HITACHI MODEL 655 HPLC.
Isolation and Purification The cultured broth thus obtained was filtered with an aid of diatomaceous earth (PERLITE TOPKO #34, Trademark, Showa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) (15 kg). The mycelial cake was extracted with ethyl acetate (1600 l) and the extract was filtered. The filtrate (1400 l) was applied to a column of active carbon (SIRASAGI KL, Trademark, Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) (200 l). The column was washed with ethyl acetate (120 l) and then the elution was carried out with ethyl acetate-methanol [5:1]. The active fractions (fractions from 50 l to 1030 l) were combined and concentrated to 45 l under reduced pressure. n-Hexane (120 l) was added to the resultant solution with stirring. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for one hour and then filtered with an aid of SILIKA #600 (Chuo Silica Co., Ltd.) (3 kg). The cake thus obtained was washed with n-hexane (15 l) and the object substances were eluted with methanol (20 l).
The eluate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue (500 g) was dissolved with methanol-acetic acid-dichloromethane [1:1:2] (4 Z) and applied to a column of silica gel (KIESELGEL 60, 70-230 mesh, 70 l). The column was developed with methanol-acetic acid-dichloromethane [1:1:2] (0.5 Z) and dichloromethane (25 l). The object substances were eluted with dichloromethane-methanol [10:1] and dichloromethane-methanol [8:1]. The active fractions were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved with methanol (1 l). Acetonitrile (9 Z) was added to the resultant solution with stirring. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 10 one hour and the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration. This precipitation step was repeated three times. The precipitate thus obtained was washed with acetonitrile (1 l) and dried to give a white powder (190 g) of WS-9326A. The filtrates thus obtained from these precipitation steps were combined and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue (11.7 g) was dissolved with 80% aqueous methanol and resultant solution was passed through a column of active carbon (300 ml). The column was washed with 80% aqueous methanol (1 Z) and the elution was carried out with methanol (6 l). The active fractions were combined and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue (3.4 g) was dissolved with methanol (12 ml). The resultant solution was applied to a column of reverse phase silica gel (YMC PACKED COLUMN R-354 S-15/30 (ODS), φ50�l 300 mm�2; maker, Yamamura Chemical Institute) equilibrated with 50% aqueous acetonitrile. The column was developed with 50% aqueous acetonitrile using Waters HPLC (System 500). The eluates containing WS-9326B (fractions from 3 l to 3.5 l) were combined and concentrated to dryness to give a white powder (790 mg) of WS-9326 B.
