Description

~04~;0SZ

The present invention relates to a new process for purification of FR-1923 substance. ~lore particularly, it relates to a new process for purification of FR-1923 sub-stanee, using a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin.

FR-1923 substance is a known antibiotie isolated from the fermentation broth of a strain of genus Stre~tomvce~, as described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift 2242699 corresponding to Canadian Patent Application Ser.~o. 150,731 filed August 30,1972 Hatsuo Aoki et al.
In said prior literature, there are disclosed processes using aetivated ehareoal, anion exehange resin and DEAE-Sephadex (trade mark, made by Pharmacia Co.) for isolation and purification of FR-1923 substance from a fermentation broth.

However, the prior proeesses have not led to satisfae-tory results in an industrial manufacture of FR-1923 sub-stanee beeause they require relatively many steps for the isolation and purifieation of FR-1923 substanee, so that the overall recovery of the antibiotic is relatively poor.

As the results of the extensive studying, the present inventors have now newly found a new process for purification of FR-1923 substance as a step in the recovery thereof, by means of which FR-1923 substance can be obtained in higher yield than by the prior processes. Further, this new process is simpler and more convenient in practical operation and 1046()52 more economical on an industrial scale because the spent resin can be regenerated to be used again.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new process for purification of FR-1923 substance usinq a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new process for purification of FR-1923 substance, by means of which FR-1923 substance is obtained in higher yield than by the prior processes.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a simpler, more convenient and more economical process for puri-fication of FR-1923 substance.
According to the invention there is provided a process for the purification of FR-1923 substance which comprises:
contacting an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, with a macroporous nonrionic adsorption resin, adsorbing one of said FR-1923 Aubstance and said impurities in ~aid solution on said re~in, and recovering said FR-1923 sub-stance.
In one aRpect of the invention the aqueous solution is contacted with the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin to adsorb FR-1923 substance on the resin, the adsorbed FR-1923 substance i~ eluted from the re~in, and the FR-1923 substance is recovered from the eluate.
In another aspect of the invention the aqueous solution is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated with FR-1923 substance, impurities are adsorbed on the saturated resin, and FR-1923 substance is recovered from the thus contacted solution.
As described above, the present invention provides a new process for purification of FR-1923 substance, using a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, which comprises alter-k ~ Jl ~ ~ 2 -r, ~, native methods in u~ing a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin:
That is, one of them is a method that an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, whereafter the adsorbed FR-1923 substance is eluted with, for example, a hydrophilic solvent system (hereinafter con-veniently referred to method A), The other is a method that an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impuritie~, is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated by FR-1923 substance to adsorb the impurities, and FR-1923 substance is recovered from the B- 2a -passed solution (hereinafter conveniently referred to method B).
Alternative methods are explained in more detail hereinafter.
M~thod A
According to method A of the present invention, there is provided a process for purification of FR-1923 substance, wherein an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, whereafter the adsorbed FR-1923 substance is eluted with, for example, a hydrophilic solvent system.
.

The macroporous non-ionic adsorption resins used according to the present invention may include a cross-linked . resin with an aromatic basic structure. The preferred resins include styrene polymers cross-linked with divinyl benzene. Examples of such resins include Amberlite XAD-l, XAD-2, XAD-4, XAD-7 and XAD-8 (trade mark, maker; Rohm &
Haas Co.), Diaion HP 10, HP 20, HP 30, HP 40 and HP 50 (trade mark, maker; Mitsubishi Kasei Co., Ltd.) and Hitachi-gel No. 3010 (trade mark, maker; Nissei Sangyo Co., Ltd.).

The process for purification of FR-1923 substance, using the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, in accord-ance with the method A of the present invention is applicable to any aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities. Examples of such solutions include a filtrate of culture broth per se prepared by cultivating FR-1923 substance - producing microorganism in a nutrient medium, and a pre-extracted culture solution as well as an aqueous solution containing crude solid material containing F'R-1923 substance (e.g. crude powder or crude crystals containing FR-1923 substance) which first is isolated and purified to some degree from a filtrate of the culture broth by means of conventional manners, such as an optional treatment of the filtrate with an appropriate solvent for extraction and/or by adsorption on activated charcoal.

When using a culture filtrate, it is advantageous to use an optionally pre-extracted culture solution, this optionally pre-extracted culture solution being brought into contact with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin in the usual manner, preferably with use of a column containing a bed of resin.

Treatment of the aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance in admixture with impurities with the non-ionic adsorption resin is advantageously carried out at pH value of from 2-7 and preferably of from 4 to 6. The desired acidic pE~ values can be achieved by using any desired acid, for example, an organic acid, such as oxalic acid, or preferably a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric, phosphoric or sulphuric acid.

Further, treatment of the aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance in admixture with impurities with the non-ionic adsorption resin is advantageously carried out in case of the impurities being inorganic salt, such as sodium chloride, sodium biphosphate or disodium orthophosphate.

In this method, the aqueous solution containing FR-1923 1046Qsz substance in admixture with impurities is brought into contact with the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin to adsorb FR-1923 substance by a conventional manner, for example batch operation or column operation, whereafter adsorbed FR-1923 substance is eluted from the resin with, for example, a hydrophilic solvent system.

The hydrophilic solvent systems used for eluting FR-1923 substance from the resin, include, for example, a lower dialkyl ketone (e.g. acetone and methyl ethyl ketone); and a lower alkanol (e.g. methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol, n-butanol and isobutanol). There may also be used mixtures of the above lower dialkylketone and lower alkanol.
Further, mixtures of watér or of a lower alkyl ester of a lower alkanoic acid, for example methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, and the above lower alkanol or lower dialkyl ketone may also be used. Furthermore, a large volume of water and an alkaline aqueous solution Ipreferably pH 8 - 13) may be used.
The eluate thus obtained is treated by conventional means such as concentration, pH adjustment, lyophilization and recrystallization to give crystalline FR-1923 substance which frequently is sufficiently pure for use as a medicine.

Method B
According to method B of the present invention, there is provided a process for purification of FR-1923 substance wherein an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated in advance by FR-1923 substance to adsorb impurities, and FR-1923 substance is recovered from the passed solution.
Thi~ method is based on the fact that adsorption capacity of a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin to FR-1923 substance is smaller than that to specific impurities such as coloring materials stemming from fermentation broth and isomer of FR-1923 substance. By using the difference of capacity of macroporous non-ionic adsorption reqin between FR-1923 substance and the specific impurities, the specific impurities are selectively adsorbed to the resin saturated by FR-1923 substance from an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with im-purities, and FR-1923 substance is recovered from the passed solution.
Ad~orption capacity of a macroporous non-ionic adRorption resin to ~R-1923 substance varies with condition of aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, and with the kind of the macroporous non-ionic adsorption reqin. Exampleq of adsorption capacity of a macroporous non-ionic adQorption reqin to FR-1923 sub-stance are as follows. The following data is given by contacting 0.2M phosphate buffer solution ~H4) containing FR-1923 substance with the resin.

Ca. 18g~1~ of Amberlite XAD-4*
*trademark t . - 6 -iO460S2 The macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated by FR-1923 substance is prepared by contacting an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, wherein said solution is preferably neutral or slightly alkaline.
As examples of a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, the same examples as mentioned in the method A are exemplified.

The process for purification of FR-1923 substance using the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin, in accordance with the method B of the present invention is applicable to any aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, as well as that of method A mentioned above, as examples of which the same examples as mentioned in the method A are exemplified.
Especially, when coloring materials or isomer of FR-1923 substance are contained as impurities in the aqueous solution,thls method B gives better results.

When an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, is contacted with the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated by FR-1923 substance, FR-1923 substance can be adsorbed no more to it and, on the other hand, the impurities are selectively adsorbed to it.
Volume of the macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin to be used in this method varies with a content of FR-1923 substance in an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, and with the kind of the resin to be used, and it, generally, may be lQ per 100 - 500 g of FR-1923 substance in the aqueous solution.

FR-1923 substance is recovered from the passed through solution, which is obtained by contacting an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, with macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated by FR-1923 substance. The recovery can be conducted by conventional manners such as pH adjustment, treatment with activated charcoal, concentration, lyophilization and recrystallization to give crystalline FR-1923 substance which frequently is sufficiently pure for use as a medicine.

Further, an aqueous solution containing FR-1923 substance, together with impurities, is contacted with a macroporous non-ionic adsorption resin saturated by FR-1923 substance to adsorb impurities, whereafter the column is washed with a small volume of water to obtain FR-1923 substance staying of the space among the resin in the column.

The spent resin can be regenerated by conventional manners, e.g. by washing the said resin with a relatively strong alkaline aqueous or alkaline aqueous-alcoholic solution.

The method B is superior to the method A and is more convenientin practiceand more economical on an industrial scale, in the following points. That is, the method B does not require a process for elution of FR-1923 substance from the resin, and volume of the resin used for purification in method B is less than 10% in comparison with that in method A, though recovery and purity of FR-1923 substance are almost 1046~SZ

same degree in both methods.

The following testsare given for the purpose of illustra-ting a comparison between method A and B as a process for ~urification of FR-1923 substance.

The comparison-tests are carried out by using the same crude crystals of FR-1923 substance and the same resin in ` the same volumein both methods, but volume of the crude crystals of FR-1923 substance in the method A is decided within the capacity of the resin to FR-1923 substance, and volume of the crude crystals of FR-1923 substance used in the method B is about 20 times that in method A.
