Description

~0~4304 HOECHST ARTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 88/F 338 Dr. RH/PP

Description New angucyclinones from Streptomycete~, a process for the preparation thereof ~nd the u~e thereof It is known that Streptomyces spec. synthesizeæ under conventional culture conditions an angucyclinone with the name ochromycinone tBowie J.H., Johnson A.N. Tetrahedron Letters I6, 1449 (1967)~

Hence the invention relates to~

1. A compound of the formula I

furthermore defined in the patent claims. The compound of the formula I can be prepared with the aid of Streptomyces spec. DSM 4769. The strain was deposited on Aug. 26, 1988, at the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (German Microorganism and Cell Culture Collection) under the stated number in accordance with the conditions of the Budapest Treaty.
. ,. .: ~: . . :~
Streptomyces spec. DSM 4769 has the following ~ -characteristic features~
~ . ~
Spore color: red Spore chain: close spirals Spore surface: smooth Melanin production: positive ~'' It is also possible in place of Streptomyces spec.
lS DSM 4769 to use its mutants and variants as long as they are in fact able to prepare the compound of the formula I. Mutants of this type can be generated in a manner known per se by physical means, for example irradiation such a8 with ultraviolet or X-ray6, or chemical mutagens such as, for example, ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS), N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) or 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (MOB).

Suitable and preferred as sources of carbon for the aerobic fermentation are assimilable carbohydrates and sugar alcohols such ns glucose, lactose or D-mannitol, as well as carbohydrate-containing natural product such as malt extract. Suitable and preferred nitrogen-containing nutrients aret amino acids, peptides and proteins a8 well a8 the degradation products thereof, such a8 peptones or tryptones, also meat extracts, milled seeds, for example of corn, wheat, beans, soybean or the cotton plant, dis-tillation re~idues from the production of alcohol, meat meals or yeast extracts, a8 well as ~mmonium salts and nitrates. The nutrient solution can additionally contain, for example, chlorides, carbonates, sulfates or .. ~
.: .... :,.,~ . i .
' ''' '' '"'''' :;, ' ..'."......

200~304 phosphates of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, iron, zinc and manganese as additional inorganic salts.

The production of the compound of the formula I
takes place especially well in a nutrient solution which contains glycerol in concentrations of 0.5 to 6 ~, preferably 2 to 4 %, as well as soybean meal in con-centrations of 0.1 to 4 %, preferably 0.5 to 2 %, in each case based on the weight of the total nutrient solution.

The fermentation is carried out aerobically, that is to say, for example, submerged with shaking or stirring in shaken flasks or fermenters, where appropriate introducing air or oxygen. The fermentation can be carried out in a temperature range of about 18 to 40C, preferably at about 25 to 30-C, in particular at 28 to 30-C. The microorganism is cultivated under the stated conditions until the stationary phase is reached, for about 60 to 120 hours, preferably 70 to 75 hours.

The cultivation is advantageously carried out in ~everal stages, i.e. initially one or more precultures are prepared in a liguid nutrient medium and are then transferred into the actual production medium, the main eulture, for example in the ratio 1 s 10 by volume. The preculture is obtained, for example, by transferring a ~porulated mycelium into a nutrient solution and allowing it to grow for about 48 to 72 hours. The sporulated mycelium can be obtained by allowing the strain to grow for ~bout 7 days on a solid or liguid nutrient medium, for example yeast/malt agar.

The progre~s of the fermentation can be monitored by means of the pH of the culture or of the mycelium volume, by thin-layer chromatography or testing the biological ~ctivity.

The angucyclinones of the general formula I are present in the culture broth. Hence it is expedient for , '..;''~ '' ':,'~'. ..", 200~30 - 4 - :
the isolation of the substance to ~eparate the mycelium from the culture broth, for example by filtration or centrifugation. The compound of the formula I can then be isolated from the supernatant, expediently in the pH
range 2 to 8, preferably at pH values from 5 to 7. The substance can be extracted with conventional agents, for example polar solvents, for example lower alkanols. ~ ~
However, it is advantageous to pass the liquid over an ~ ;
adsorber resin such as, for example, those based on poly-styrene. The elution can then be carried out with a polar solvent, preferably lower alkanols such as, for example, methanol, which are possibly also mixed with water. The solvent can be removed from the eluate by distillation, and the agueous residue containing the angucyclinones can -~
be dried. ~ - ;

The compounds b and c of the formula I can be obtained not only microbiologically but also chemically -~
from the compound Ia. For this, the compound Ia is dissolved in solvents such as chloroform, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate or (C1 to C~
alcohols and ~tirred in the air with or without addition of air, with exclusion of light, for 1 to 20 days. The -duration of this reaction depends on the amount of air in -the reactlon mixture. The compound Ib is obtained a8 final product. It is possible in a subseguent reaction to prepare the compound of the formula Ic by irradiation j with W light (366 nm) of the resulting reaction solution ''"~'~ "~'' ~ r~
in a guartz flask for a period of 12 to 48 hours. ~ f~, The angucyclinones of the general formula I are colorless amorphous solids which are readily soluble in methanol, acetone, DNS0, dioxane and chloroform but insoluble in water and alkanes. The compounds of the general formula I can be incorporated in pharm~ceutical formulations appropriate for their stability. The `~
antibacterial and antiviral action and the action against ;
protozoa can be demonstrated in the agar diffusion test or by cell culture tests in vitro. The compounds shcw a .;
