- Recovery of the antibacterial active ingredient from the culture of RH2180-5 may be performed by a method of recovering and purifying the physiologically active substance from a normal microorganism culture.
- the culture includes culture supernatant, cultured cells, and disrupted cultured cells.
- a suitable organic solvent such as acetone
- the extraction supernatant usually separated from the cells by centrifugation or filtration membrane separation is usually used for isolation. What is necessary is just to add a purification process. Further, if necessary, the remaining bacterial cell residue may be subjected to a grinding treatment and then extracted again.
- the extraction solvent and the separation / purification technique used during the separation / purification of the target substance are selected based on the concentration of antibacterial activity determined by MIC as an index. There is basically no problem with such a method as long as it is simply separation and concentration of antibacterial active ingredients.
- the separation and purification of antibiotic-containing fractions and antibiotics produced by RH2180-5 of the present invention not only the MIC result but also the therapeutic effect on the silkworm Staphylococcus aureus infection model shown in Patent Document 4 is used as an index. Have made a choice.
- the primary screening for narrowing down useful strains from a very large number of tens of thousands of strains can be performed by any method as long as it is a method for evaluating antibacterial activity. Specimens with antibacterial activity against S. aureus can be picked up in the culture supernatants of various strains. This is because a strain that does not show any antibacterial activity is not considered.
- Any method may be used as long as it is a method for evaluating antibacterial activity, but a method of picking up strains having antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus in the culture supernatant of various test strains using MIC as an index Is preferred. Thereafter, when the number of strains is narrowed down to several hundred thousands, evaluation of the therapeutic effect of antibiotic-containing fractions and antibiotics derived from them to measure their ED 50 using silkworms S. aureus infection model Can be considered.
- various separation and purification operations are further performed, and the therapeutic effect is evaluated with the silkworm Staphylococcus aureus infection model for each operation.

- the residue after the acetone extraction is considered to contain a relatively large amount of antibiotics that show antibacterial activity but no therapeutic effect. Can be used as a fraction containing antibiotics.
- RH2180-5 was effectively found by using a separation / purification method with the therapeutic effect as an index using a silkworm Staphylococcus aureus infection model. This is because when the separation and purification method of the target substance is performed using only the conventional antibacterial activity as an index, antibacterial active ingredients that are not effective in terms of therapeutic effect are concentrated, and the therapeutic effect in vivo. This is because it is inferred from the results in Table 2 that there is a high possibility of overlooking high antibiotics. In this case, the usefulness of RH2180-5 cannot be confirmed, and there is a high possibility that RH2180-5 itself has been overlooked. Therefore, in providing a new microorganism (RH2180-5), it is a very important point in the present invention that selection was performed using the therapeutic effect using a silkworm S. aureus infection model as an index.

<<16S rRNA配列>>
(12)16S rRNA配列の解析結果
RH2180-5のコロニーから、コロニーPCRにより、16S rRNA領域の塩基配列を増幅し、シーケンサーによる解析を行った結果、5’末端側、3’末端側のいくつかの塩基を除く16S rRNAのほぼ全長に当たる塩基配列が見出された。この塩基配列を配列表の配列番号1に示す。配列表の配列番号1の塩基配列は、16S rRNAの全長ではないため、16S rRNA「領域」とした。この塩基配列をNCBIのBLASTで相同性検索を行ったところ、RH2180-5の16S rRNA領域の塩基配列は、リソバクター属であるLysobacter enzymogenes DSN2043T株の塩基配列と相同率99%を示した。なお、上記Lysobacter enzymogenesには、抗生物質産生の報告はないので、RH2180-5とは異なるものである。
また、RH2180-5の16S rRNA領域の塩基配列に一致する16S rRNA領域の塩基配列を有する微生物が存在しないこと、RH2180-5の産生する化合物が、上記したように、新規な環状ペプチド構造を基本骨格とする新規な化合物であること、また、その化合物がMRSAだけでなくVREにも抗菌活性を示し、MRSAによる感染症に対しマウスにおいて治療効果が確認されたこと、後述するRH2180-5の産生する抗生物質のいくつかが、MRSAだけでなくVREにも抗菌活性を示すという先行例の少ない抗菌スペクトルを有すること、黄色ブドウ球菌による感染症に、バンコマイシンに比較してより高い治療効果を示すこと、これまでに報告されていない有用性の高い新規な抗生物質を産生する等を含め総合的に判断した結果、RH2180-5は、新規な微生物株であると判断した。
以下に、RH2180-5の培養方法について記載する。本発明の新規な環状ペプチド構造を有する新規な化合物、抗生物質含有画分等を産生するRH2180-5の培養方法は、リソバクター属の微生物に対して行われる一般的な培養方法に準じて行えばよい。具体的には、RH2180-5を、YME培地、SGM培地、CDY培地、YPGM培地等の栄養源含有培地に接種し、好気的条件下で培養を行う。培地中の炭素源としては、例えば、D-グルコース、D-フラクトース、シュクロース、デンプン、デキストリン、グリセリン、糖蜜、水飴、油脂類等の有機炭素化合物が用いられ、窒素源としては、肉エキス、カゼイン、ペプトン、酵母エキス、乾燥酵母、胚芽、大豆粉、尿素、アミノ酸、アンモニウム塩等の有機・無機窒素化合物を用いることができる。また、塩類は、ナトリウム塩、カリウム塩、カルシウム塩、マグネシウム塩、リン酸塩、鉄塩、銅塩、亜鉛塩、コバルト塩等の無機塩類を必要に応じて適宜添加する。更に、ビオチン、ビタミンB1、シスチン、オレイン酸メチル、ラード油等の生育促進物質を添加することが、目的物の産生量を増加させる点で好ましい。また、シリコン油、界面活性剤等の消泡剤を添加してもよい。
RH2180-5の培養物からの抗菌活性成分の回収は、通常の微生物培養物から生理活性物質を回収し精製する方法で行えばよい。ここで培養物とは、培養上清、培養菌体、培養菌体破砕物を含むものである。例えば、培養物に抽出処理としてアセトン等の適当な有機溶媒を加えて懸濁した後に、遠心分離やろ過膜分離等を行って菌体と分離した抽出上清に対して、通常用いられる単離精製処理を加えればよい。また必要に応じて残った菌体残渣を摩砕処理等してから再度抽出処理を行ってもよい。
(MICによる有用菌株の絞込み)
本発明においても、数万株の非常に多くの菌株から有用菌株の絞込みを行う一次スクリーニングは、抗菌活性を評価する方法であれば何れの方法でも行うことができるが、例えば、MICを指標として各種菌株の培養上清中に黄色ブドウ球菌に対して抗菌活性の認められた検体をピックアップすることができる。まったく抗菌活性を認めない菌株は検討対象とならないからである。抗菌活性を評価する方法であれば何れの方法であってもよいが、MICを指標として各種供試菌株の培養上清中に黄色ブドウ球菌に対して抗菌活性の認められた菌株をピックアップする方法が好ましい。その後、菌株数が数千から数百程度に絞り込まれたら、それらから得られる抗生物質含有画分や抗生物質の治療効果の評価はカイコ黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルを用いてそのED50を測定することで検討することができる。
RH2180-5の産生した培養物からの各分画段階の抗生物質含有画分や、そこから分離・精製した抗生物質の抗菌活性は、MICによって評価することができる。MICは一般的に認められている標準法に従って実施する。例えば、CLSI(旧NCCLS米国臨床検査標準委員会)に基づく微量液体希釈法によって実施する。
ここで、RH2180-5(受託番号NITE BP-870)を培養し、その培養物を分画することによって得られる本発明の「抗生物質含有画分」とは、RH2180-5の培養物から、抗菌活性及び/又は治療効果を示す抗生物質を含む画分を分画したもの、その分画から一部の物質を分離・抽出した画分、分離・抽出した画分中の抗生物質を部分的に精製した画分、更に、純物質までに精製した抗生物質を含む画分の何れの画分をも意味するものである。
カイコ黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルにおける治療効果を指標として選択される分離・精製方法に特に限定はないが、培養物の溶媒抽出、転溶、水沈殿、ODSカラム等によるクロマトグラフィー、ODSカラム等を用いたRP-HPLCによる分取等を挙げることができる。上記溶媒抽出の溶媒や転溶の溶媒としては特に限定はないが、アセトン等の水溶性溶媒;ブタノール等の親水性溶媒;それらの混合溶媒;水と親水性溶媒との混合溶媒;水と水溶性溶媒との混合溶媒;等が好ましい。また、ODSカラムの代わりに、オクチル基やブチル基で修飾した担体、ポリスチレン系のポリマー担体等を充填したカラムを用いてもよい(表2参照)。
以上のRP-HPLCによって、RH2180-5の培養物から9つのピーク(抗生物質含有画分に相当)に分けられる化合物を分取することができた(図1)。これらはUV吸収パターンが類似していることから互いに類似する化合物であり、RP-HPLCより前段階の分離・精製方法によっては単一の成分となっている。
上記各ピークに含まれる抗生物質の示す抗菌スペクトルは、上記したMICによって検討することができる。それによって、例えば、RH2180-5Peak5物質は、試験例1の表3に示すように、黄色ブドウ球菌、腸球菌等のグラム陽性細菌に対して抗菌活性を示した。更に、メチシリン耐性黄色ブドウ球菌(MRSA)だけでなくバンコマイシン耐性腸球菌(VRE)に対しても抗菌活性を有し、多剤耐性細菌にも有効であることを確認することができた(表3参照)。
RH2180-5の産生する抗生物質は、各精製工程においてカイコ黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルにおいてその治療効果を有することが確認されている。前記特許文献4において、カイコ黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルに治療効果を示す物質は、マウス感染モデルに対しても治療効果を示すことが確認されている。そこで、RH2180-5Peak5物質に対しても同様の確認を行ったところ、RH2180-5Peak5物質はマウス感染モデルにおいても治療効果を示し、そのED50値は0.6mg/kgとなりバンコマイシンの1.6mg/kgよりも明確に低く治療効果の高いことが確認された。(試験例3の表5参照)
RH2180-5の培養物から、本発明の「前記式(1)で示される環状ペプチド化合物」を得る方法としては、通常の微生物培養物から生理活性物質を得る方法が挙げられる。ここで培養物とは、上記した通りである。
本発明の前記式(1)で示される環状ペプチド化合物の示す抗菌スペクトルは、先に記載したMICによって検討することができる。それによって、例えば、RH2180-5Peak5、Peak6、Peak9の各物質は、黄色ブドウ球菌、腸球菌等のグラム陽性細菌に対して抗菌活性を示し、更に、MRSAだけでなくVREに対しても通常の細菌とまったく同じ抗菌活性を示し、多くの多剤耐性菌に有効な物質であることを確認することができた(試験例1の表3、試験例4の表6参照)。
前記式(1)で表わされる環状ペプチド化合物又はその製薬学的に許容される塩を、製薬学的に許容し得る担体と共に含んでなる感染症治療薬は、感染症に対して優れた治療効果を奏する。特に、本発明の前記式(1)で表わされる、新規な環状ペプチド構造を有する化合物又はその製薬学的に許容される塩は、カイコ黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルだけでなく、後述するようにマウス黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデルでも、バンコマイシンに比して高い治療効果が確認されたものがあり、感染症治療薬の有効成分として好適に用いることができる。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の単離精製>
(1)抗菌活性を有する微生物のMICによる探索
各地から採取した土壌を生理食塩水に懸濁し、その上清をGA培地及びHV培地に塗布し、30℃でインキュベート後に生育した菌を分離し、YME培地又はSGM培地、CDY培地にて30℃で5日間培養した。アセトンを等量加え、懸濁後に遠心分離しその上清をエバポレーションした。得られた残存物を生理食塩水で希釈後に黄色ブドウ球菌に対する抗菌活性を微量液体希釈法によるMICにて評価した。その結果、14346株中、3487株の培養上清に抗菌活性が認められた。
先の抗菌活性が認められた3487株の検体を、特許文献4に記載のカイコモデルに供してその治療効果を検討したところ、45株の培養上清に治療効果が認められた。
上記45株中、沖縄で採取された土壌から分離されたRH2180-5について、培養上清からの治療活性物質の精製を実施した。RH2180-5は、後述する16S rRNA配列の解析、産生物質の傾向等から、新規リソバクター(Lysobacter)属の微生物と判定された。
<RH2180-5の培養とRH2180-5Peak5物質の製造>
RH2180-5の斜面培養から白金耳で菌を掻き取り、100mLのYME培地を入れた500mL容の三角フラスコに接種し、30℃で3日間振とう培養を行い種培養液とした。次いで、この種培養液1.0mLを、先の液体培地100mLを入れた500mL容の三角フラスコ12本に接種し、30℃で5日間振とう培養を行った。
以上の操作により、RH2180-5Peak5物質を5.3mg得た。また、同様の方法で、ピーク1、ピーク2、ピーク3、ピーク4、ピーク6、ピーク7、ピーク8、ピーク9の各ピークからそれぞれのピーク物質を得た。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の構造解析>
RH2180-5Peak5物質を、ブルカー・ダルトニクス社(BrukerDaltonics)BioTOF-Q質量分析器による精密質量分析に供した結果、分子量は1616.9[ESI-TOF-MSで、(M+H)+が、m/z=1617.8755]であることが分かった。
GlnとGluについては、酸加水分解の結果では両方ともGluとなり、D,L体が1:1で検出されたため、グルタミンおよびグルタミン酸を含むペプチドに対して、ビス(1,1―トリフルオロアセトキシ)ヨードベンゼンを反応させることにより、グルタミンをジアミノ酪酸に変換し、加水分解後、反応しなかったグルタミン酸について、キラルカラムによる絶対配置の決定を行ったところ、GlnがD体、GluがL体であることが明らかになった。(この分解法によるペプチドのD,L体の決定法は本願において初めて行われた新規の方法である。)
その結果、RH2180-5Peak5物質は、各アミノ酸が図10に示す立体構造を有する新規な環状ペプチド化合物であることが分かった。
<RH2180-5Peak9物質の構造解析>
構造解析に供する試料としてRH2180-5Peak9物質を用いる以外は検討例1と同様の構造解析手段により構造解析を行った(図8参照)。その結果、式(1)のR1が3-ヒドロキシ-7-メチル-オクタノイルである以外は、RH2180-5Peak5物質と同じ化学構造を有する環状ペプチド化合物であることが確認された。
<本発明の環状ペプチド化合物の抗菌スペクトル検討>
先のRH2180-5Peak5物質の、MRSA、VREを含む各種の微生物に対する抗菌スペクトルの検討を行った。また、薬剤耐性の影響についても検討した。後者の検討には黄色ブドウ球菌と腸球菌を選択し、黄色ブドウ球菌については、薬剤耐性を示さない黄色ブドウ球菌(以下、「MSSA1」と略記する。)と、メチシリンを含む多くの薬剤に耐性を示すMRSA2種(MRSA3、MRSA4;耐性薬剤については表3を参照)について、また、腸球菌については、薬剤耐性を示さない腸球菌(以下、「EF1」と略記する。)と、バンコマイシンに耐性を示す腸球菌(以下、「VRE」と略記する。)について、各ピーク物質の示すMIC値をCLSI(旧NCCLS米国臨床検査標準委員会)に基づく微量検体希釈法によって測定した。
<各ピーク物質の多剤耐性菌と薬剤耐性を有さない菌に対する抗菌活性の比較検討>
試料量の少ないピーク1物質を除くピーク2物質からピーク9物質の8つの本発明の新規な環状ペプチド化合物について、多剤耐性菌と薬剤耐性を有さない菌に対する抗菌活性の比較検討を行った。
MRSA3:OX,FL,KM,TC,EM耐性黄色ブドウ球菌
MRSA4:OX,FL,KM,CP,CPLX耐性黄色ブドウ球菌
EF1 :腸球菌
VRE :バンコマイシン耐性腸球菌
TC:テトラサイクリン、CP:クロラムフェニコール、EM:エリスロマイシン
CPLX:シプロフロキサシン
<RH2180-5Peak5物質のマウス黄色ブドウ球菌感染モデル(以下、「マウスモデル」と略記する。)における治療効果と毒性の検討>
7%ムチン+0.2mMクエン酸鉄(III)アンモニウム(Ferric ammonium citrate)に、黄色ブドウ球菌Smith株を懸濁し、6.2×106個(20×LD50)を一群5匹のマウス(ICR雌4週齢)の腹腔に投与した。各薬剤は、以下に示す方法で先の菌株投与2時間後に皮下注射した。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の抗菌スペクトルの検討>
先のRH2180-5Peak5物質の、MRSA、VREを含む各種の微生物に対する抗菌スペクトルの検討を行った。10%血清を添加した場合と血清を添加しなかった場合それぞれのMIC値をCLSI(旧NCCLS米国臨床検査標準委員会)に基づく微量検体希釈法によって測定した。測定結果を表6に示す。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の殺菌活性の検討>
CA-Mueller Hinton Broth培地に1.8x108個の黄色ブドウ球菌を摂取し、先のRH2180-5Peak5物質(25μg/mL)、バンコマイシン(VM、5μg/mL)、ゲンタマイシン(GM、2.5μg/mL)を添加し、15分後、30分後、60分後、120分後の生存細胞数をCFU(colony forming unit/mL)として求めた。結果を表7に示す。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の溶菌活性の検討>
CA-Mueller Hinton Broth培地に黄色ブドウ球菌液を希釈し、RH2180-5Peak5物質、バンコマイシン、ダプトマイシンを試験例1で用いたときの5倍の濃度で添加し、37℃で培養した。吸光度計(島津製作所社製)を用いて、添加後の600nmにおける吸光度(OD600)を経時的に測定した。結果を図11に示す。
<RH2180-5Peak5物質の製剤化>
<<錠剤>>
RH2180-5Peak5物質20.0mg、ラクトース40mg、デンプン20mg、及び、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース5mgを均一に混合した後、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロース8質量%水溶液を結合剤として湿式造粒法で打錠用顆粒を製造した、これに滑沢性を与えるのに必要なステアリン酸マグネシウムを0.5mgから1mg加えてから打錠機を用いて打錠し、錠剤とした。
RH2180-5Peak5物質10.0mgを、2質量%2-ヒドロキシプロピル-β-サイクロデキストリン水溶液10mLに溶解し、注射用液剤とした。
<16S rRNA解析>
RH2180-5の16S rRNAの塩基をコロニーPCR法によって増幅し、増幅できたRNA断片についてシーケンサーによって解析した。その結果、5’末端側、3’末端側のいくつかの塩基を除く配列番号1に示すほぼ16S rRNA領域全長に相当する塩基配列を決定した。この塩基配列を元に、NCBIのBLASTを用いて既存のリソバクター属に属する菌株との相同性検索を行った。その結果RH2180-5は、既存のLysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T株と99%の相同性を示したことから、RH2180-5はリソバクター(Lysobacter)属に属する微生物であると考えられた。
RH2180-5は、Lysobacter enzymogenes DSM 2043T株と化学的性質について相似する点が多いが、産生する生理活性物質の抗菌スペクトルが異なること、生理活性物質の本体である化合物がこれまで報告されていない新規な環状ペプチド構造を基本骨格とする「有用な薬理作用を有するRH2180-5Peak5物質とその関連化合物」である点で全く異なっている。この点は、既存の菌株との大きな相違点である。よって、以上の結果から、RH2180-5は、リソバクター(Lysobacter)属に属する新規な微生物であると判定した。
