Description

技術分野
本発明はHIV(ヒト免疫不全ウイルス)Tat分子の活性を阻害し、HIV増殖を抑制するHIV感染症治療に有効な新規生理活性物質に関する。
従来技術
AIDSはレトロウイルスHIV−1およびHIV−2により引き起こされる免疫系の病気であり、ほとんど患者の致死をもたらす。AIDSの予防および症状の軽減のために、ウイルスの増殖を抑制する組成物の探索に興味がもたれている。
HIVは細胞に感染後、遺伝子RNAがウイルス粒子中に含まれる逆転写酵素によりDNAに逆転写されHIVインテグラーゼにより宿主細胞のDNAに組み込まれる。組み込まれたHIV遺伝子の5’端にあるLTR中のプロモーターからHIV RNAが転写され遺伝子RNAとなると同時に、そのRNAを鋳型としてウイルス蛋白質が合成される。合成されたウイルス蛋白質のいくつかはHIVプロテアーゼにより切断されて成熟蛋白となり次世代のウイルス粒子を形成する。以上のウイルス生活環より、逆転写酵素阻害・インテグラーゼ阻害・HIV LTRからの転写阻害・プロテアーゼ阻害などがHIV感染症治療薬の作用点として挙げられる。
これまでにHIV感染症治療薬としてヌクレオシド系および非ヌクレオシド系逆転写酵素阻害剤、プロテアーゼ阻害剤が実用化され治療に効果を上げている。しかし、既にこれらの抗HIV剤に対する耐性株の出現が報告されており(Gunthard H.et al.,J.of Virol.72(3):2422(1998))、新たな抗HIV剤の開発が望まれている。特に、作用点の異なる抗HIV剤は耐性化変異が交叉しないことから、既存の薬剤に耐性を獲得してしまったHIV感染の治療を可能にし、また既存の薬剤と併用することで耐性の出現を遅らせることが期待される。
HIV Tat分子はHIV RNA5’端のTAR領域に結合して、HIV LTRからの転写を促進する活性(Tat活性)を持つことが知られている(Laspia M.F.et al.,Cell 59:283(1989))。Tatを欠失したHIVが増殖できない(Popik W.et al.,J.of Virol.67(2):1094(1993))ことから、Tat活性を阻害する薬剤(Tat阻害剤)はHIV増殖を抑制し、新規メカニズムのHIV感染症治療薬となることが期待される。
これまでRo 5−3335およびラットでの腎毒性を軽減したRo 24−7429がTat活性を阻害しHIV増殖を抑制する化合物として報告されているが、Ro 5−3335は標準的な抗HIV活性の評価系であるMT−4急性感染系で効果を示さない(Witvrouw M.et al.,Antimicrob.Agents and Chemother.36:2628(1992))など抗HIV活性が充分でなく、また、臨床導入したRo 24−7429は効果が得られなかった(Haubrich R.H.et al.,J.of Infect.Disease 172:1246(1995))。
また、TatのTAR領域と結合するドメインのアナログであるALX40−4Cも、細胞系でTat活性を阻害しているとの報告はなく、また報告されている抗HIV活性も吸着阻害に基づくことを示唆している(O’Brien W.et al,.J.of Virol.70(5):2825(1996))。
発明の開示
本発明はTat活性を阻害し、HIV増殖を抑制する新規物質を単離し、HIV感染症の治療剤を提供することにある。
上記現状に鑑み、本発明者らは微生物培養液を原料として、Tat阻害剤の探索スクリーニングを行った。その結果、ストレプトミセス属に属する微生物の培養液中にTat阻害剤が産生されることを見出し、この活性物質を単離・構造決定したところ新規活性物質であることが判明した。そしてこの活性物質は、Ro 5−3335が活性を示さないMT−4急性感染系を含む各種の急性HIV感染系においてHIV増殖を抑制することが示された。また、RNAへの転写過程を抑制するという作用機序から予想されるとおり、持続感染系においてもHIV増殖を抑制し、逆転写酵素阻害剤が無効なHIV遺伝子が宿主細胞のDNAに組み込まれた後でも効果を発揮できる治療薬と成りうることが示された。

(培養条件)
本発明の生理活性物質EM 2487A,B,Cは、上記菌株を栄養源含有培地に接種し、好気的に培養することにより製造される。生理活性物質EM2487の生産菌としては、ストレプトミセス属に属しEM 2487A,B,Cを生産する能力を有するものであれば、上記菌株に限らず全て本発明に利用できる。
上記微生物の培養方法は、原則的には一般微生物の培養方法に準ずるが、通常は液体培養による振とう培養、通気撹拌培養等の好気的条件下で実施するのが好ましい。培養に用いられる培地としては、ストレプトミセス属に属する微生物が利用できる栄養源を含有する培地であればよく、各種の合成、半合成培地、天然培地などいずれも利用可能である。培地組成としては炭素源としてのグルコース、シュークロース、フルクトース、グリセリン、デキストリン、澱粉、糖蜜等を単独又は組み合わせて用いることができる。窒素源としてはファーマメディア、ペプトン、肉エキス、大豆粉、カゼイン、アミノ酸、酵母エキス、尿素等の有機窒素源を単独又は組み合わせて用いることができる。その他例えば塩化ナトリウム、塩化カリウム、炭酸カルシウム、硫酸マグネシウム、燐酸ナトリウム、燐酸カリウム、塩化コバルト等の塩類、重金属塩類、ビタミンB及びビオチン等のビタミン類も必要に応じ添加使用することができる。なお、培養中発泡が著しい場合には、公知の各種消泡剤を適宜培地中に添加することもできる。消泡剤の添加にあたっては、目的物質の生産に悪影響を与えない濃度とする必要があり、例えば使用濃度としては0.05%以下が望ましい。
培養条件は、該菌株が良好に生育して上記物質を生産し得る範囲内で適宜選択し得る。例えば培地のpHは5〜9程度、通常中性付近とするのが望ましい。培養温度は、通常20〜40℃、好ましくは28〜35℃に保つのがよい。培養日数は2〜8日程度で、通常3〜5日である。上述した各種の培養条件は、使用微生物の種類や特性、外部条件等に応じて適宜変更でき、最適条件を選択できるのはいうまでもない。培養液中に蓄積された本発明の生理活性物質EM2487は、濾過、遠心分離等の既知の通常の固液分離手段によって菌体を分離し、その菌体からの抽出により回収可能である。
分離・精製
生理活性物質EM 2487A,B,Cの分離・精製は既知の種々の方法を選択、組み合わせて行うことができる。例えば、メタノール、酢酸エチル、アセトン、n−ブタノール等を用いた溶媒抽出、活性炭、アンバーライトXAD(ローム・アンド・ハース社製)、ダイヤイオンHP−20(三菱化学社製)等への吸着と含水アルコール、含水アセトン等による溶出、セファデックスLH−20(ファルマシア社製)、バイオ・ゲルP−2(バイオ・ラッド社製)等によるゲル濾過、シリカゲル、アルミナ等によるカラム法あるいは薄層クロマトグラフィー、順相あるいは逆相カラムを用いた分取用高速液体クロマトグラフィー(分取HPLC)等を、単独あるいは適宜組み合わせ、場合により反復使用することで分離、精製する事ができる。
菌の培養液からの本発明化合物の精製は以下のようにして精製することができる。ストレプトミセス属の微生物を通常の適切な培養条件にて培養後、培養液を清澄濾過したのちブタノール又はメチルイソブチルケトンなどの有機溶媒を加え抽出し、有機溶媒層を減圧下濃縮する。次いでメタノールにて抽出し、石油エーテル(light petroleum)などで処理し粗抽出物を得る。次いでシリカゲルなどを用いる吸着クロマトグラフィー、LH 20ゲルクロマトグラフィ、分配クロマトグラフィー、薄層クロマトグラフィー、ペーパークロマトグラフィーなどを適宜利用して分画し、活性スクリーニングにより活性画分を確認する。上記手法を適宜組み合わせることにより活性物質を単離することができる。吸着クロマトグラフィーに使用する溶媒としては、クロロホルム、メタノール、アセトン、ヘキサン、トルエンなど通常使用される有機溶媒を用い、適宜濃度を選択、組み合わせて使用することができる。結晶化の溶媒としてはクロロホルムとヘキサン、又はクロロホルムと四塩化炭素などを用いることができる。一つの手法としてM.Lumbらの方法がある(Nature.206,263,1965)。
単離した化合物の構造解析は、元素分析、GC−MS、NMR、融点など常法の手法によって行うことができる。
医薬への応用
単離した新規物質はTat活性を阻害し、急性感染系および持続感染系においてHIV増殖を抑制して、HIV感染症治療で引き起こされるエイズの治療に有用である。また、ヌクレオシド系及び非ヌクレオシド系逆転写酵素阻害剤、プロテアーゼ阻害剤と併用してその治療効果を高めるため、あるいは耐性ウイルスの出現を遅らせるために使用しても良い。
特にヌクレオシド系及び非ヌクレオシド系逆転写酵素阻害剤、プロテアーゼ阻害剤に対して耐性を獲得してしまったHIVに感染している患者に有用である。
該化合物を各種疾患治療・予防剤として投与する場合、錠剤、散剤、顆粒剤、カプセル剤、シロップ剤などとして経口的に投与してもよいし、また噴霧剤、坐剤、注射剤、外用剤、点滴剤として非経口的に投与してもよい。投与量は症状の程度、年齢、肝疾患の種類などにより著しく異なるが、通常成人1日当たり約1mg〜1000mgを1日1〜数回にわけて投与する。
製剤化の際は通常の製剤担体を用い、常法により製造する。すなわち、経口用固形製剤を調製する場合は、生薬に賦形剤、更に必要に応じて結合剤、崩壊剤、滑沢剤、着色剤、矯味矯臭剤などを加えた後、常法により錠剤、被覆錠剤、顆粒剤、散剤、カプセル剤などとする。これらの錠剤、顆粒剤には糖衣、ゼラチン衣、その他必要により適宜コーティングすることは勿論差し支えない。
注射剤を調製する場合には、生薬に必要によりpH調整剤、緩衝剤、安定化剤、可溶化剤などを添加し、常法により皮下、筋肉内、静脈内用注射剤とする。

混合液に水で膨張したダイヤイオンHP−20 2.4Lを加え、撹拌した後、樹脂をろ取してカラムに充填し、20%メタノール6Lで洗浄した。続いて、80%アセトン41Lで溶出し、溶出液を減圧下で濃縮し、アセトンを留去した。残った水溶液を減圧下濃縮乾固して粗抽出物を得た。
このものを少量のジメチルスルホキシドに溶解し、アセトニトリル−10mMリン酸緩衝液(pH7.0)=2:8の混合溶液で予め平衝化しておいたYMC−GEL ODS−AM 120−S50(ワイエムシィ社製)のカラム(内径60mm、長さ950mm)に二度に分けて付した。同じ組成の混合溶媒で洗浄し、続いて、35:65の組成の混合溶媒で溶出した。
溶出液は高速液体クロマトグラフで分析し、EM 2487A,B,C(カラム:J’sphere ODS−H80、内径4.6mm、長さ75mm、ワイエムシイ社製、移動層:アセトニトリルー20mMリン酸緩衝液(pH7.0)=35:65、流速:1mL/min、検出:260nmにおける紫外吸収、保持時間;A:2.5min、B:6.1min、C:6.3min)を含む溶出液を集め、EM 2487 A,B,Cを含むフラクションを得た。アセトニトリルを減圧下留去した後、水で膨張したダイヤイオンHP−20を加え、撹拌した後、樹脂をカラムに充填し、20%メタノールで洗浄した。続いて、80%アセトンで溶出し、溶出液を減圧下で濃縮し、アセトンを留去した。残った水溶液を減圧下濃縮乾固して粗抽出物を得た。
このものを少量のジメチルスルホキシドに溶解し、分取HPLC(カラム:J’sphere ODS−H80、内径20mm、長さ250mm、ワイエムシイ社製、移動層:アセトニトリル−20mMリン酸緩衝液(pH7.0)=35:65、流速:10mL/min、検出:260nmにおける紫外吸収、保持時間;A:12.0min、B:22.0min、C:26.0min)に付した。この分取をくりかえし、EM 2487 A,B,Cのピークを示す溶出液をそれぞれ併せ、アセトニトリルを減圧下留去した後、水で膨張したダイヤイオンHP−20を加え、撹拌した後、樹脂をカラムに充填し、20%メタノールで洗浄した。続いて、80%アセトンで溶出し、溶出液を減圧下で濃縮し、アセトンを留去した。残った水溶液を減圧下濃縮乾固してEM 2487A,B,Cの純粋な白色粉末をそれぞれ432mg,44.8mg,22.4mg得た。

Technical field
The present invention relates to a novel physiologically active substance effective in the treatment of HIV infection that inhibits the activity of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) Tat molecule and suppresses HIV proliferation.
Conventional technology
AIDS is a disease of the immune system caused by the retroviruses HIV-1 and HIV-2 and almost results in death of the patient. In order to prevent AIDS and reduce symptoms, there is an interest in searching for compositions that inhibit viral growth.
After HIV infects cells, the gene RNA is reverse transcribed into DNA by reverse transcriptase contained in the virus particle and incorporated into the host cell DNA by HIV integrase. HIV RNA is transcribed from the promoter in the LTR at the 5 'end of the incorporated HIV gene to become gene RNA, and at the same time, a viral protein is synthesized using the RNA as a template. Some of the synthesized viral proteins are cleaved by HIV protease to become mature proteins to form next generation virus particles. From the above viral life cycle, reverse transcriptase inhibition, integrase inhibition, transcription inhibition from HIV LTR, protease inhibition and the like are mentioned as the action points of drugs for treating HIV infection.
So far, nucleoside and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors have been put to practical use as therapeutic agents for HIV infection and are effective in treatment. However, the emergence of resistant strains against these anti-HIV agents has already been reported (Gunthard H. et al., J. of Virol. 72 (3): 2422 (1998)), and the development of new anti-HIV agents has been reported. It is desired. In particular, since anti-HIV agents with different action points do not cross resistance-resistant mutations, it is possible to treat HIV infections that have acquired resistance to existing drugs, and emerge resistance when used in combination with existing drugs. Is expected to delay.
HIV Tat molecules are known to bind to the TAR region at the 5 ′ end of HIV RNA and have activity (Tat activity) that promotes transcription from the HIV LTR (Laspia MF et al., Cell 59: 283 (1989)). Since HIV lacking Tat cannot proliferate (Popik W. et al., J. of Virol. 67 (2): 1094 (1993)), an agent that inhibits Tat activity (Tat inhibitor) inhibits HIV proliferation. It is expected to suppress and become a therapeutic agent for HIV infection with a novel mechanism.
So far, Ro 5-3335 and Ro 24-7429, which reduced nephrotoxicity in rats, have been reported as compounds that inhibit Tat activity and suppress HIV proliferation, while Ro 5-3335 exhibits standard anti-HIV activity. Anti-HIV activity such as MT-4 acute infection system, which is an evaluation system (Witvrouw M. et al., Antimicrob. Agents and Chemother. 36: 2628 (1992)) is not sufficient, and clinically introduced Ro 24-7429 had no effect (Haurich RH et al., J. of Infect. Disese 172: 1246 (1995)).
In addition, ALX40-4C, an analog of a domain that binds to the TAT region of Tat, has not been reported to inhibit Tat activity in cell lines, and the reported anti-HIV activity is based on adsorption inhibition. (O'Brien W. et al, J. of Virol. 70 (5): 2825 (1996)).
Disclosure of the invention
It is an object of the present invention to provide a therapeutic agent for HIV infection by isolating a novel substance that inhibits Tat activity and suppresses HIV proliferation.

As a result, it was found that a Tat inhibitor was produced in the culture solution of microorganisms belonging to the genus Streptomyces, and when this active substance was isolated and structurally determined, it was found to be a novel active substance. This active substance has been shown to inhibit HIV proliferation in various acute HIV infection systems, including MT-4 acute infection systems where Ro 5-3335 does not show activity. In addition, as expected from the mechanism of action to suppress the transcription process to RNA, HIV gene was suppressed in persistent infection system, and reverse transcriptase inhibitor was incorporated into the host cell DNA. It has been shown that it can be a therapeutic drug that can be effective even later.
That is, the present invention provides the following general formula (I):

(Culture conditions)
The physiologically active substance EM 2487A, B, C of the present invention is produced by inoculating the above-mentioned strain in a nutrient source-containing medium and culturing aerobically. As the bacteria producing the biologically active substance EM2487, any bacteria can be used in the present invention as long as they belong to the genus Streptomyces and have the ability to produce EM2487A, B, C.
The method for culturing microorganisms is basically the same as the method for culturing general microorganisms, but usually it is preferably carried out under aerobic conditions such as shaking culture by liquid culture and aeration and agitation culture. The medium used for the culture may be a medium containing a nutrient source that can be used by microorganisms belonging to the genus Streptomyces, and any of various synthetic, semi-synthetic, natural, and other media can be used.

The compound of the present invention can be purified from the culture solution of fungi as follows. After culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces under normal and appropriate culture conditions, the culture solution is clarified and filtered, and then extracted with an organic solvent such as butanol or methyl isobutyl ketone, and the organic solvent layer is concentrated under reduced pressure. Next, extraction with methanol and treatment with petroleum ether or the like give a crude extract. Subsequently, fractionation is carried out by appropriately using adsorption chromatography using silica gel or the like, LH 20 gel chromatography, partition chromatography, thin layer chromatography, paper chromatography, etc., and the active fraction is confirmed by activity screening. The active substance can be isolated by appropriately combining the above methods. As a solvent used for the adsorption chromatography, a commonly used organic solvent such as chloroform, methanol, acetone, hexane, toluene and the like can be used by appropriately selecting and combining the concentrations. As a crystallization solvent, chloroform and hexane, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, or the like can be used. As one method, M.I. Lumb et al. (Nature. 206, 263, 1965).
