Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は医薬または殺虫剤として利用可能なGABA受容体−塩素イオンチャネル複合体(GRC)阻害活性を有する新規活性物質、その製造法および用途に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来様々な構造や作用性を有する殺虫剤が利用されてきたが、近年抵抗性を獲得した害虫個体群の出現、より高い選択毒性を有する薬剤に対する要望により、新しい系統の殺虫剤がさらに一層求められている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
γ−アミノ酪酸(GABA)は、昆虫の中枢および末梢神経における神経伝達物質であり、歩行、飛翔などの運動の制御に重要な働きをすることが知られているが、哺乳動物の場合GABAは中枢神経系でのみ作用することや,昆虫と哺乳動物の受容体の構造に違いがあることから昆虫のGABA作動性神経を撹乱する物質は、昆虫に高い選択性を示す新しい殺虫剤となることが期待される。一方、上記のようにGABAは哺乳動物の中枢神経系で抑制性神経伝達物質として重要な機能を担っており、GABA受容体に阻害活性を有する物質は医薬としても利用が可能であると思われる。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、より有効かつ安全な新規殺虫活性物質を見出すべく、幅広く微生物を採取、培養し、GRCのピクロトキシニン結合部位に特異的に作用する化合物を、同部位の特異的阻害剤として知られている4'−エチニル−4−n−プロピルビシクロオルソベンゾエート(EBOB)の結合阻害物質のスクリーニングを行うことにより検索した結果、アスペルギルス属に属する特定の菌を培養することによって、EBOB結合阻害物質が培養物中に生産、蓄積されることを見いだし、その有効成分を採取することに成功した。その有効成分の1つであるPF1198A物質は、ぺニシリウム(Penicillium)属の生産する代謝産物として報告されているアラントリピノン(J.Nat.Prod.,61,1154-1157,1998)と同一物質であり、もう1つの有効成分は、新規なPF1198B物質であることを明らかにした。これまでにぺニシリウム属でのアラントリピノンの報告はあるが、アスペルギルス属に属する微生物でのアラントリピノンの生産は、本発明が始めてである。

γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nerves of insects and is known to play an important role in the control of movements such as walking and flight. In mammals, GABA is Substances that disrupt GABAergic nerves of insects because they act only in the central nervous system and have differences in the structure of insect and mammalian receptors can be new insecticides that are highly selective for insects. There is expected. On the other hand, GABA plays an important role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammals as described above, and substances that have inhibitory activity on GABA receptors may be used as pharmaceuticals. .

As a production medium, a solid medium obtained by adding 2.5% soybean meal to sufficiently absorbed water was used. The pH before sterilization was adjusted to pH 7.0 before use.
A 100 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing the above seed medium (20 ml) was sterilized at 120 ° C for 15 minutes, inoculated with one platinum loop of Aspergillus PF1198 strain agar culture, and cultured with shaking at 25 ° C for 2 days.
