得られた。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Taxus L. is one of the northern hemispheres.
0 species are distributed, and yew (onco) Taxus cusp in Japan
idata Sieb et Zucc. and the shrub caraboku (T.cuspidata
var.nana Hort. ex Rehder) and a yellow fruit-bearing chyme onion (T.cuspidata f.luteobaccata) are growing. Until now, research on Japanese yew components has been centered around Takagi's Onko. Ueda's report was first published in 1913, and then Kondo and Amano extracted alkaloids from Hida yew leaves as a raw material, and presumed that this was the same substance as European alkaloids, and called it "taxin". I named it. Then, around 1960, research was conducted by the Kyoto University group and Tohoku University Nakanishi group, and several diterpenes having a “taxane” skeleton were obtained.

特徴とすることである。On the other hand, taxol, whose structure was determined in 1971, is a yew from North America, the Pacific yew (Taxus brevifoli).
It has been attracting attention as a new type of anticancer drug because it is obtained from the bark of (a), and in addition to its specific chemical structure, it stabilizes microtubules during mitosis and suppresses their depolymerization. In particular, taxol is effective not only for leukemia but also for refractory ovarian cancer, and is characterized by having a wide therapeutic spectrum.

Extract with ethyl acetate and wash with dilute aqueous alkaline solution,
A method for producing taxol and taxane terpenoids, characterized in that a crude extract is obtained.

をアルカリ塩として除くことができる。Taxanes and terpenoids such as taxol contained in yew trees have alkali-labile ester bonds and are hydrolyzed by alkali. However, when the yew tree extract is dissolved in a lower fatty acid ester solvent such as ethyl acetate and washed with an alkali (NaOH or KOH aqueous solution), the taxanes / terpenoids are not decomposed and the phenols are contained in a high content that makes the separation operation difficult. Can be removed as an alkali salt.

In the operation using a salt-saturated to half-saturated aqueous solution, it is possible to easily obtain the taxane terpenoids in a neutral and basic mixture, which can prevent the emulsification and the precipitation of Na salt (prolonging the standing time causes the precipitation of salt). it can.

が得られる。Conventionally, taxanes and alkaloids are strongly fat-soluble and it has been difficult to extract them with an aqueous mineral acid solution [J. Nat. Products, 56 (4) 5
14-520 (1993)], but the lower alcohols such as methanol were added to the extract excluding phenols in an amount of 5-10.
The taxanes and alkaloids are obtained by extraction (3 times) with a mineral acid (5-10% hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid) aqueous solution containing 3% concentration, separating the aqueous layers and making the mixture alkaline and extracting with ethyl acetate.

イドの後、タキソール区分が得られる。In the method of the present invention, the raw material of the yew plant is directly extracted with methanol (three times), and the concentrated solution is extracted with ethyl acetate. When the ethyl acetate layer is washed several times (about 3 times) with a dilute alkaline aqueous solution (1% or less of KOH or NaOH half-saturated salt solution), the phenol fraction which hinders the separation operation can be almost completely removed. The organic solvent was distilled off, and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel with benzene (toluene, hexane): ethyl acetate (3: 1 to 1: 1).
Elution with 1: 1) gives the taxol compartment after the less polar taxane terpenoids.
