Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the separation of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives, especially 2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (ectoines)and 2-methyl,5-hydroxyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (hydroxyectoines), which are present together in aqueous solutions, especially fermentation broths, by selective adsorption of one component on zeolites.

Description

Process for the separation of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives The invention relates to a process for the separation of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives, especially 2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (ectoines) and 2-methyl,5-hydroxyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (hydroxyectoines), which are present together in aqueous solutions, by selective adsorption of one component on zeolites.
Tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives refer in particular to the compounds known from EP-A1-0553884.
Structurally, ectoines are cyclic amino acid derivatives, which belong to the class of so-called "compatible solutes". They are also compatible with cytoplasm in high concentration and stabilise the cell components in a medium with low water activity. This action indicates a broad field of application in medical and cosmetic sectors.
Owing to new biotechnological processes it has become possible to culture halophilic eubacteria, e.g. of the Halomonas species, and to cause these organisms to separate out the ectoines into the medium surrounding them (T. Sauer et al. GIT Fachz. Lab. 10/95).
Since both ectiones [sic] and hydroxyectoines are produced, depending on the fermentation conditions, it is necessary to separate these two components in the subsequent processing steps in order to obtain the pure components.
This separation may take place for instance by extraction with methanol, utilising the different solubilities of ectoine and hydroxyectoine (T. Sauer and Erwin A. Galinski.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, VOL. 57, NO 3, 1998).
However, this process is expensive on an industrial scale owing to the considerable quantities of methanol required.
The object of the invention is to provide an alternative process which permits an effective separation of tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives, especially ectoines and hydroxyectoines, from an aqueous solution optionally contained [sic] other organic and inorganic compounds without the use of solvents.
The invention provides a process for the separation of tetrahydropyrimidines present in aqueous solution from the corresponding hydroxy compounds, especially of 2-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (ectoines (I)) 2-methyl,5-hydroxyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4-carboxylic acids (hydroxyectoines)(II) which are present together in aqueous solutions, characterised in that the aqueous solutions containing the two components are brought into contact with a preferably acidic zeolite having a modulus of 15 to 1000 at a pH of 1.5 to 7Ø This results in a kinetically preferential adsorption of ectoine compared with hydroxyectoine. By adjusting the contact time between zeolite and solution to an optimum value to be determined experimentally, a selective depletion of ectoine from the starting solution occurs, while the hydroxyectoine remains in solution initially and is adsorbed in significant quantity only with prolonged contact times. The ectoine derivatives bonded to the zeolite are desorbed from the zeolite used by adjusting the pH to >8.0, especially using an ammonium hydroxide solution. The solution may also be adjusted to this pH value by adding another basic, optionally organic component, especially lysine.
Depending on the required purity of the derivatives to be isolated, the purification process may optionally be carried out in multiple consecutive steps.
The tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives to be separated according to the invention are understood to be in particular compounds of the formula s , ~. .2 COOL C H COO"
CH
wherein R1: H and R2: OH.
The solutions from which these substances are separated are generally aqueous or organic by nature.
Suitable zeolites for the adsorption of the compounds to be separated according to the invention are those of the types Y, DAY, mordenite, dealuminised mordenite, ZSM-5, ' dealuminised ZSM-5, (3 or VPIS and with a modulus of 10 to 1000, especially of 15 to 200, preferably of 15 to 45. The ZSM-5 type is preferably used in the H-, ,ammonium- or Na form.
The process generally takes place in a temperature range of between 15 and 80°C, preferably 20 to 40° C.
The concentrations of the ectoines or hydroxyextoines [sic]
to be separated vary within the known solubility range. The (molar) concentration ratios of the compounds to be separated which are common in the prior art may be worked up by the process according to the invention and provide the desired product in the required purity. The adsorbents are used in powder form, as mouldings or fixed on substrates. The batch, fixed bed or cross-flow filtration processes, conducted continuously or in batches, are available for the technical implementation of the process.
In an advantageous embodiment, the adsorption on zeolite is combined with cross-flow filtration in which a solution containing the tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives, optionally freed from the biomass, is brought into contact with the suspensions of an acidic zeolite for a period of time appropriate to the adsorption kinetics and then the hydroxytetrapyrimidine derivatives present in the supernatant liquid are separated by cross-flow filtration, in which a) the charged zeolites in the form of suspensions are made to flow past a porous surface/membrane, b) a pressure difference being set up between the side of the surface/membrane subject to the flow and the opposite side, so that c) part of the solution containing the hydroxy compounds, completely or partially freed from the adsorbed compounds, flowing over the surface/membrane flows through the surface/membrane transverse to the direction of flow (filtrate flow) d) in a washing step the solution freed from the adsorbed compounds, which contains the hydroxy compounds, is separated off, and e) the adsorbed compounds are then desorbed.
The latter takes place at an appropriate pH, especially at a pH >8Ø
Fine particle size zeolite powders of the types mentioned above with a particle diameter of 1 to 100 Vim, especially 2 to 20 Vim, are particularly suitable as adsorbents. The short intraparticle diffusion paths permit high adsorption selectivities and thus high separation factors.
The purities achieved for hydroxyectoine in the supernatant liquid (based on total ectoine) are 100% when using e.g.
5 ZSMS/28 after a contact time of 1 h (Example 1). In the case of mordenite 30 the purities are approx. 60% after 24 h owing to slower kinetics (Example 2). However, they can be increased with an appropriate combination of the process steps.
To increase the purity, the solutions are transferred into the purification process according to the invention one or more times. A variant of the process according to the invention consists in combining it with purification processes known from the prior art by using organic cation exchangers and other purification steps.
An appropriate adsorption and desorption step takes place before and/or after a purification step by adsorption on one of the zeolites used according to the invention, which has been followed by desorption.
