Epoxysuccinic acid derivatives

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a new epoxysuccinic acid derivative that inhibits thiol proteases such as cathepsin L and B and serves well as a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
2. Description of Related Art
In bone tissue, bone resorption and formation occur constantly with a good balance to ensure bone homeostasis; bone diseases such as osteoporosis are caused when the balance shifts to the bone resorption side.
In recent years, various epoxy compounds possessing prophylactic/therapeutic activity against bone diseases have been reported (e.g., Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 76-1987, European Patent Publication No. 269311).
Abbreviations for amino acids, peptides and others used in the present specification are based on abbreviations specified by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature or abbreviations in common use in relevant fields. When an optical isomer may be present in amino acid, it is of the L-configuration, unless otherwise stated.
Currently, bone resorption suppressors such as estrogens and calcitonin are used to prevent and treat osteoporosis. However, these drugs do not inhibit the thiol protease secreted by the lysosome of osteoclasts. Also, administration of these therapeutic drugs does not always offer satisfactory effect because they are subject to limitation as to subject, and because their efficacy is uncertain in some cases.
With the above situation in mind, the present inventors took note of thiol proteases, especially cathepsin L [H. Kakegawa et al., FEBS Letters, Vol. 321, p. 247 (1993)], which has recently been shown to play a major role in bone resorption, and investigated microbial metabolites with the belief that a drug that selectively inhibits such cathepsin L will serve as a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Through intensive search, the present inventors found TAN-1756A, B, C and D, represented by the following structural formulas, in microorganisms belonging to the genus Chaetomium, and TAN-1854A and B, represented by the following structural formulas, in microorganisms belonging to the genus Tolypocladium, TAN-1803, represented by the following structural formula, in a microorganism belonging to the genus Trichoderma, and TAN-1868, represented by the following structural formula, in a microorganism belonging to the genus Aspergillus. The inventors also developed methods of synthesizing these compounds. The inventors made further investigations of epoxysuccinic acid derivatives based on these findings, and developed the present invention

The medium may also incorporate amino acids (e.g., glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, lysine, methionine, proline), peptides (e.g., dipeptides, tripeptides), vitamins (e.g., B.sub.1, B.sub.2, nicotinic acid, B.sub.12, C) and nucleic acids (e.g., purine, pyridine, derivatives thereof). It is also possible to add inorganic acids, organic acids, alkalis, buffers and other additives may be added to regulate the pH of the medium. Appropriate amounts of oils and fats, surfactants and other additives may be added for the purpose of defoaming. In liquid culture, nearly neutral pH levels are preferred, with particular preference given to the pH range 5.5-8.
Culturing temperature is preferably about 24.degree.-30.degree. C. Culturing time is preferably 48 to 168 hours.
To collect the desired compound TAN-1756A, B, C and/or D or TAN-1854A and/or B from the culture, there may be used as appropriate a means in common use to collect microbial metabolites from a culture of the microorganism. For example, TAN-1756A, B, C and D and TAN-1854A and B, both water-soluble amphoteric substances, are contained mainly in the culture flitrate; it is advantageous to first filter the culture broth in the presence of a filter aid, or centrifuge, to remove cells, then bring the resulting culture flitrate into contact with an appropriate carrier to adsorb the active ingredient in the flitrate to the carrier, desorb the active ingredient with an appropriate solvent and separately collect it. Useful chromatographic carriers include carriers based on compound adsorptivity differences, such as activated charcoal, silica gel, microcrystalline cellulose and adsorptive resin, those based on functional group differences, such as ion exchange resin, ion exchange cellulose and ion exchange Sephadex, and those based on molecular weight differences, such as molecular sieve carriers. To elute the desired compound from these carriers, there may be used mixed solvents in an appropriate ratio, e.g., water-miscible organic solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile), water, aqueous dilute alkalis (e.g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate), aqueous dilute acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, phosphoric acid), and buffers (e.g., acetate buffers, phosphate buffers), the combination depending on kind and nature of the carrier.
More specifically, when using a cation exchange resin such as Amberlite IR-120, IRC-50 (produced by Rohm & Haas, USA), Dowex 50W (produced by Dow Chemical, USA) or Diaion SK1A (produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries) or an anion exchange resin such as Amberlite IRA-402, IRA-68 (produced by Rohm & Haas, USA), Dowex 1 (produced by Dow Chemical, USA) or Diaion SA10B, PA-404 or WA-30 (produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries), the desired compound is adsorbed from the flitrate and eluted with an aqueous solution or buffer containing a salt, alkali or acid. The desired compound can also be adsorbed to an ion exchange molecular sieve resin carrier such as QAE or CM-Sephadex (produced by Pharmacia, Sweden) and eluted with an aqueous solution or buffer containing a salt, alkali or acid. To remove the salts, coloring substances etc. from these eluates, there may be advantageously used activated carbon for chromatography (produced by Takeda Chemical Industries), an adsorptive resin such as Diaion HP-20 or SP-207 (produced by Mitsubishi Chemical Industries), Amberlite XAD-1 or II (produced by Rohm & Haas, USA), a molecular sieve resin such as Sephadex LH-20 (produced by Pharmacia, Sweden), or a microcrystalline cellulose such as Avicel (produced by Asahi Chemical) or Funacel (produced by Funakoshi Pharmaceutical).
In the final purification process for the desired compound, preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is advantageously used. When this method is used, octadecylsilane (ODS) carriers, aminopropylsilane carriers, polyamine carriers and silica gel carriers are advantageously used. In the case of ODS, YMC gel (produced by Yamamura Kagaku Kenkyujo) or TSK gel (produced by Toyo Soda Manufacturing) or the like is used, with a mixed solution of methanol or acetonitrile and water or a salt-containing aqueous solution used advantageously as a mobile phase.
Since TAN-1756A, B, C and D and TAN-1854A and B are both arnphoteric substances, they can be obtained as alkali metal salts such as sodium salt and potassium salt, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium salt and magnesium salt, or acid-addition salts, particularly pharmacologically acceptable acid-addition salts, by a per se known methods. Such salts include salts formed with inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid) or organic acids (e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, methanesulfonic acid, octanesulfonic acid).

With respect to the protection of functional groups not to be involved in the starting material reaction, the protecting groups used, elimination of the protecting groups, activation of the functional groups involved in the reaction, etc., per se known functional groups or per se known means can be chosen as appropriate.
This reaction may be carried out in the presence of a base. Useful bases include tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylpyrrolidine, cyclohexyldimethylamine and N-methylmorpholine, secondary mines such as di-n-butylamine, diisobutylamine and dicyclohexylamine, aromatic amines such as pyridine, lutidine and collidine, hydroxides or salts of alkali metals such as lithium, sodium and potassium, and hydroxides or salts of alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium.

When a base is used, its mount is normally 1 to 5 tool, preferably about 1 to 3 mol per mol of compound (III) or (V), varying depending on starting material compound used, kind of reactive carboxylic acid derivative and other reaction conditions.
This reaction is normally carried out in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. The solvent is chosen as appropriate from known solvents useful in peptide condensation reaction. Such solvents include amides such as formamide, N,N-dimethylformamide and N-methylpyrrolidone, sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, aromatic amines such as pyridine, halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform and dichloromethane, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, nitriles such as acetonitrile, esters such as ethyl acetate and ethyl formate, and appropriate mixtures thereof.

Reaction time is normally several scores of minutes to several scores of hours, depending on starting material, base, reaction temperature and kind of solvent used.
A compound represented by general formula (I) or a salt thereof can be produced by subjecting a compound or a salt thereof produced by the above-described method to a deprotection reaction if necessary. This deprotection reaction can be carried out by a per se known method, such as a method in common use in peptide chemistry (see Gosei Kagaku Series, Peptide Gosei, by N. Izumiya, M. Ono, T. Kato and T. Aoyagi, published by Maruzen, 1975).
The deprotection reaction for the amino group protected by an urethane type protecting group is carried out in contact with an acid in the absence of a solvent or in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. The solvent is exemplified by halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), water and appropriate mixtures thereof. The acid is exemplified by haloacetic acids (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid) and hydrohalo acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid).
It is advantageous that the N-benzyloxycarbonyl (Z) group and the N-4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl group be eliminated by catalytic hydrogenation using, e.g., a palladium catalyst (e.g., palladium/barium sulfate, palladium/activated carbon, palladium black), a rhodium catalyst or the like. This reaction is carried out in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. Such solvents include amides (e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide, acetamide), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), cyclic ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran), organic carboxylic acids (e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid), water and appropriate mixtures thereof.

Such solvents include amides (e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide, acetamide), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol) and appropriate mixtures thereof.
It is advantageous that the N-2,2,2-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl group be eliminated using a metal (e.g., zinc) along with an organic carboxylic acid (e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid). This reaction is carried out in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. Such solvents include the above-mentioned organic carboxylic acids, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), water and appropriate mixtures thereof.
The deprotection reaction (deacylation) of the acylated hydroxy group is achieved in contact with an acid in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. Such solvents include halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g., dichloromethane, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane), alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), water and appropriate mixtures thereof. Useful acids include haloacetic acids (e.g., trifluoroacetic acid) and hydrohalo acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid).
It is advantageous that the O-benzyl (Bzl) group be eliminated by catalytic hydrogenation using, e.g., a palladium catalyst (e.g., palladium/barium sulfate, palladium/activated carbon, palladium black) or a rhodium catalyst. In this case, a solvent known from the literature, such as a cyclic ether (e.g., tetrahydrofuran), is used singly or, in some cases, in mixture with another inert solvent [e.g., lower aliphatic acid amide (e.g., N,N-dimethylformamide)].
For the O-tetrahydropyranyl group or O-tert-butyl group, deprotection can be achieved by acid hydrolysis as in the above-described deacylation.
The carboxyl protecting group can be eliminated by acid hydrolysis in the same manner as above. For example, the benzyl ester can be eliminated by catalytic hydrogenation in the same manner as for the above-described elimination of the O-benzyl group. The methyl ester or ethyl ester can be eliminated in contact with a base in a solvent which does not interfere with the reaction. The solvent is exemplified by alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol), cyclic ethers (e.g., tetrahydrofuran), water and appropriate mixtures. The base is exemplified by sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
The 2-(trimethylsilyl)-ethyl group can be eliminated by reacting a salt of hydrofluoric acid, such as a quaternary nitrogen base salt of hydrofluoric acid (e.g., tetraethylammonium fluoride) in an appropriate solvent under neutral conditions.

(a) Determination of Cathepsin L Inhibitory Activity
To 75 .mu.l of a reaction mixture containing 1 ng of human recombinant cathepsin L (as produced in Reference Examples 1 through 7 below), 2 .mu.M dithiothreitol (hereinafter referred to as DTT), 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetate disodium salt, 0.1M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5) and various concentrations of sample, 25 .mu.l of 20 .mu.M benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-arginine-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (hereinafter referred to as Z-Phe-Arg-7MCA, produced by Peptide Institute, Inc.) was added to initiate the reaction. After incubation at 37.degree. C. for 20 minutes, 100 .mu.l of a reaction stopper solution containing 100 mM sodium monochloroacetate was added. The amount of liberated 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin was determined at an excitation wavelength of 365 nm and a fluorescence wavelength of 450 nm, using a fluorophotometer (FCA; produced by Baxter). The sample concentration required to cause 50% inhibition was expressed as the IC.sub.50 value, with the fluorescence value obtained from the same reaction in the absence of the sample taken as 100%.
(b) Determination of Cathepsin B Inhibitory Activity
To 75 .mu.l of a reaction mixture containing 30 ng of cathepsin B (produced by Sigma), 2 .mu.M DTT, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetate disodium salt, 0.1M sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.5) and various concentrations of sample, 25 .mu.l of 20 .mu.M Z-Phe-Arg-7MCA was added to initiate the reaction. After reaction mixture incubation at 37.degree. C. for 20 minutes, 100 .mu.l of a reaction stopper solution containing 100 mM sodium monochloroacetate was added. The amount of liberated 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin was determined at an excitation wavelength of 365 nm and a fluorescence wavelength of 450 nm, using a fluorophotometer. The sample concentration required to cause 50% inhibition was expressed as the IC.sub.50 value, with the fluorescence value obtained from the same reaction in the absence of the sample taken as 100%.

Compounds (I), (XI) and (XXI) or salts thereof excellently suppress bone resorption. Their suppressive action against bone resorption as enhanced by PTH (parathyroid hormone) was determined by the method described below. The results are given in Table 7.
Determination of Bone Resorption Suppressive Activity
Femurs were aseptically isolated from female BALB/c mice at 8-10 weeks of age. After the bone marrow cavity was washed with a Ham F12 medium containing 10% (w/w) thermally inactivated fetal calf serum, 100 unit/ml penicillin G and 100 unit/ml streptomycin (hereinafter referred to as culture broth), each femur was added to 1 ml of the culture broth and precultured for 3 hours at 37.degree. C. in the presence of 5% carbon dioxide and 95% air. Each bone was transferred to 1 ml of the culture broth supplemented with PTH (produced by Peptide Institute, Inc., final concentration 1 .mu.M) and the test compound (final concentration 10 .mu.g/ml) and cultured for 7 more days, after which the total calcium content in the culture broth was determined using Calcium E-Test Wako (produced by Wako Pure Chemical Industries). The bone resorption suppressive activity of the test compound was calculated using the following equation:
Bone resorption suppressive activity (%)=100.times.(Cp-Cs)/(Cp-Cc)
Cc: Total calcium content in the culture broth containing neither PTH nor test compound
Cp: Total calcium content in the culture broth containing PTH
Cs: Total calcium content in the culture broth containing both PTH and test compound

Reference Example 1
Cloning of Cathepsin L cDNA of Human Renal Origin
To amplify human cathepsin cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, four primers were synthesized in accordance with a reported base sequence of cathepsin L of human renal origin IS. Gal and M. M. Gottesman, Biochemical Journal, Vol. 253, p. 303 (1988)] as follows:
Sense primer No. 1: 5'-TTTTCAGGGGGCAGTAAGAT-3'
Sense primer No. 2: 5'-pCCGGATCCGGCTTTTAGGATTGGTCTA-3'
Antisense primer No. 3: 5'-GGGGGCTGGTAGACTGAAGA-3'
Antisense primer No. 4: 5'-pCCGGATCCATTCCTCCCATGCATGCGCC-3'
3 .mu.l of a solution of the human renal cDNA library .lambda.gt11 (CLONTECH Laboratories, Inc.) and 50 .mu.l of distilled water were mixed. After incubation at 95.degree. C. for 5 minutes, the mixture was immediately cooled in ice. Two primers (Nos. 1 and 3 above, 50 pmol of each) were added, and PCR was carried out as directed in the instruction manual for the kit supplied by Cetus/Perkin-Elmer, in which a series of reactions at 94.degree. C. for 1 minute, 55.degree. C. for 2 minutes and 72.degree. C. for 3 minutes was repeated in 50 cycles. To the reaction mixture, two other primers (Nos. 2 and 4 above, 50 pmol of each) were added, and PCR was carried out in the same manner as above. The PCR product was separated by electrophoresis on 1.2% agarose gel; an amplified DNA fragment was seen at a position corresponding to the size (1132 bp) expected from the base sequence of cathepsin L of human renal origin. This DNA fragment was recovered from the gel and subcloned to the plasmid vector pBluescript.sup.R II SK+(produced by STRATAGENE). The base sequence of the cDNA portion was determined by the dideoxynucleotide synthetic chain termination method [J. Messing et al., Nucleic Acid Research, 9,309 (1981)]; it proved identical with the reported sequence. The plasmid containing this cDNA fragment was named pHCL-5.
Reference Example 2
Expression of human cathepsin L in Escherichia coli MM294(DE3)
The cDNA of Reference Example I was cleaved with restriction enzyme EcoRI and a 798 bp fragment (which encodes a part of the human cathepsin L precursor and the whole matured human cathepsin L) was recovered. To both ends of this fragment was ligated a BamHI linker (5'-pCCCGGATCCGGG-3'), and the ligation product was inserted to the plasmid vector pET-3c for expression in Escherichia coli [Methods in Enzymology, ed. D. V. Goeddel, Vol. 185, p. 68, Academic Press (1990)]. The thus-constructed plasmid was designated as pET-HCL.alpha.. Escherichia coli MM294(DE3) was transformed with pET-I-ICL.alpha. to express human cathepsin L in the presence of the T7 promoter [Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 185, p. 60 (1990)]. The thus-obtained Escherichia coli transformant [Escherichia coli JM109/pTBN-HCLneo, harboring the plasmid pTBN-I-HCLneo, has been deposited under accession number IFO 15341 at the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka (IFO) since Jun. 12, 1992, and under accession number FERM BP 3897 at the National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology (NIBH), Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry, since Jun. 22, 1992] was cultured, and cells were disrupted by sonication and subjected to SDS-PAGE; a unique band appeared near 30 kDal, corresponding to human cathepsin L. Since the expressed product formed an inclusion body, human cathepsin L was crudely purified from the precipitated fraction of the ultrasonically disrupted transformant.

Preparation of Antiserum to Recombinant Human Cathepsin L
The partially purified recombinant human cathepsin L described in Reference Example 2 was mixed with an equal amount of Freund's complete adjuvant, and about 1 ml was inoculated to a rabbit. Later, a mixture of a partially purified human cathepsin L and an equal amount of Freund's incomplete adjuvant was injected 8 times at 10-day intervals, and blood was collected seven days after final injection. The obtained blood was kept standing at 87.degree. C. for 30 minutes and then at 4.degree. C. overnight, after which it was centrifuged to yield a human cathepsin L antiserum.

Preparation of Recombinant DNA for Expression of Human Cathepsin L Gene in Animal Cells
After the plasmid pHCL-5, described in Reference Example 1, was digested with restriction enzyme BamHi, a fragment of human cathepsin L cDNA was recovered by agarose gel electrophoresis. Next, this cDNA fragment was inserted to the restriction enzyme BglII site of the vector pTB551 for transient expression in animal cells [prepared by converting the EcoRI site to BglII site in the plasmid pTB889 described by Ono et al. in Science, Vol. 2S6, p. 1116 (1989)]by the action of T4 DNA ligase and ATP, to yield the expression plasmid pTB-HCL. MuLV-LTR was inserted between the restriction enzyme HindlII and ClaI sites of pTB-HCL to yield the expression plasmid pTBN-HCL.

Reference Example 6
Expression of Human Cathepsin L Gene in Animal Cells
Using the plasmid described in Reference Example 5 (pTBN-HCLneo), mouse myeloma Sp2/0 cells were transformed as follows: Sp2/0 cells, cultivated in an ASF104 medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum FCS (5% FCS/ASF medium), were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (-) [the same as Dullbecco's PBS but CaCl.sub.2 and MgCl.sub.2 were removed] to adjust 1.times.10.sup.7 cells/ml. 500 .mu.l of this cell suspension was injected to a cuvette, 10 .mu.g of said plasmid DNA was added, and the mixture was kept standing on ice for 5 minutes. This liquid was pulsated at 125 .mu.F and 300 V, using a gene pulsar (produced by Bio-Rad Laboratories), and then again kept standing on ice for 10 minutes. This liquid was transferred to 10 ml of 5% FCS/ASF104 medium and cultured at 37.degree. C. in the presence of 5% carbon dioxide. Forty-eight hours later the culture was transferred to a selection medium (5% FCS/ASF104 medium containing 200 .mu.g/ml G418) and cultured on a 24-well plate for 2 weeks. A number of colonies emerged, each of which was transferred to an ASF104 medium containing 200 .mu.g/ml G418 and cultured, followed by Western blot analysis of the culture supernatant using the human cathepsin L antiserum prepared in Reference Example 3. In response to the antiserum, unique bands corresponding to molecular weights of about 40,000 to 30,000 and lower molecular weights appeared; they were identified as a precursor of human cathepsin L and a processing product thereof, estimated from these molecular weights. The culture supernatant was assayed for cathepsin L activity, in accordance with the method of A. J. Barrett and H. Kirschke [Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 80, p. 535 (1981)]; human cathepsin L activity was detected.
These findings confirm that transformant mouse myeloma cells expressing cathepsin L were obtained, which were designated as the mouse myeloma Sp-HCL26.

The strain obtained in Reference Example 6, showing high expression of cathepsin L, (the mouse myeloma Sp-HCL26, transformed with the plasmid pTBN-HCLneo, has been deposited under accession number IFO 50371 at the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka (IFO) since Jun. 16, 1992, and under accession number FERM BP 3902 at the National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology (NIBH), Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Ministry of International Trade and Industry, since Jun. 24, 1992), was cultured in 20 ml of an ASF104 medium supplemented with 10% FCS and 200 .mu.g/ml G418, after which it was transferred to 50 ml of a serum-free selection medium (ASF104 medium supplemented with 200 .mu.g/ml G418) and cultured for 5 days. After the culture supernatant was applied to a column of CM-Sephadex C-50 (25.times.4.4 cm), the column was washed with buffer A (20 mM sodium acetate, 1 mM EDTA, pH 5.5), followed by elution on a sodium chloride (NaCl) density gradient from 0 to 1M, to elute human cathepsin L near an NaCl concentration of about 0.4M. This fraction was applied to the Mono S column (HR5/5) of an FPLC system (produced by Pharmacia), followed by column washing and human cathepsin L elution in the same manner as above. The human cathepsin L fraction, eluted near an NaCl concentration of about 0.36M, was concentrated to yield a purified standard preparation.

After adjustment to pit 7.0, the filtrate (190 L) was subjected to column chromatography with activated carbon (4 L), washed with water (15 L) and then eluted with 8% (v/v) aqueous isobutanol (40 L). After adjustment to pH 7, the eluate was passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (OH type, 4 L), washed with water (15 L) and then eluted with 1M saline (40 L). After adjustment to pH 7, the eluate was subjected to column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (10 L), washed with water (30 L) and then eluted with 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol (40 L). The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure, passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (C1 type, 500 ml), and washed with water (1 L). The effluent was combined with washings, followed by concentration and lyophilization, to yield a crude powder (11.4 g).

TAN-1854A Monohydrochloride and TAN-1854B Monohydrochloride
The culture broth (225 L) obtained in Example 3 was filtered using a filter aid (Radiolite 600). After adjustment to pH 7.0, the filtrate (218 L) was subjected to column chromatography with activated carbon (8 L), washed with water (24 L) and then eluted with 8% (v/v) aqueous isobutanol (80 L). The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure, passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRC-50 (H type, 14 L), washed with water (42 L) and then eluted with 1M saline (70 L). After adjustment to pH 7.0, the eluate was subjected to column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (30 L), washed with water (90 L) and then eluted with 50% (v/v) methanol/0.01M hydrochloric acid (90 L). After adjustment to pit 7.0, the eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure, subjected to column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (100-200 mesh, 600 ml), and washed with water (900 ml), followed by sequential elution with water (900 ml), 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol (820 ml) and 50% (v/v) methanol/0.005N hydrochloric acid (900 ml). The eluate was concentrated, passed through a column packed with CM-Sephadex C-25 (Na type, 300 ml), and washed with water (900 ml), after which it was eluted and fractionated with 0.05M saline. The resulting fractions were divided into two combined fractions: a fraction dominated by TAN-1854A (2.4-3.0 L) and a fraction containing both TAN-1854A and TAN-1854B (3.0-3.9 L). Each fraction was desalinized with Diaion HP-20 (100-200 mesh). The eluate was concentrated and lyophilized to yield a powder (251 mg) containing TAN-1854A and another powder (259 mg) containing both TAN-1854A and TAN-1854B.
The powder (257 mg) containing both TAN-1854A and TAN-1854B was subjected to preparative HPLC [column YMC-Pack, S-363-15, ODS; mobile phase 1-3% (v/v) acetonitrile/0.02M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0); flow rate 20 ml/min]. The eluate was thus fractionated into two fractions: a fraction showing a single peak of TAN-1854A in analytical HPLC [fraction (I)] and another fraction showing a single peak of TAN-1854B in analytical HPLC [fraction (II)]. Fraction (II) was passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (Cl type, 40 ml), and washed with water (40 ml). The effluent was combined with washings, and the mixture was concentrated and then desalinized with Diaion HP-20 (100-200 mesh, 50 ml). The eluate was concentrated and then lyophilized to yield N-{N-[(2S,3S)-3-transcarboxyoxirane-2-carbonyl]-L-tyrosyl}-N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,4-diaminobutane monohydrochloride (TAN-1854B monohydrochloride) (compound 4; 99 mg).

Preparation of main culture broth of TAN-1756 A, B, C, D
Chaetomium globosum FL-41927 strain grown on potato-dextrose agar slant medium was inoculated to 500 ml of a seed medium (pH 7.0) containing 2% glucose, 3% soluble starch, 1% soybean flour, 0.3% corn steep liquor, 0.5% peptone, 0.3% sodium chloride and 0.5% calcium carbonate in a 2L Sakaguchi flask, and cultured at 28.degree. C. for 48 hours on a reciprocal shaker.
500 ml of this culture broth was transferred to 120 liters of a seed medium (pH 7.0) in a 200 liter stainless steel tank. The fermentation was carried out at 24.degree. C. for 48 hours with aeration of 120 liters/min, agitation of 120 rpm and an inner pressure of 1 kg/cm.sup.2. And 12 liter of this culture broth was transferred to 1200 liters of a main medium containing 5% soluble starch, 1.5% corn gluten meal, 0.3% beer yeast, 1% magnesium sulfate, 0.7% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 2% disodium hydrogen phosphate and 0.7% calcium carbonate (pH not modified) in a 2000 liter stainless steel tank. The fermentation was carried out at 28.degree. C. with aeration of 1200 liters/min, agitation of 120 rpm and an inner pressure of 1 kg/cm.sup.2, for 5 days to yield the main culture broth.
EXAMPLE 34
TAN-1756C 1/2 sulfate, TAN-1756D 1/2 sulfate
The culture broth (1100 L) obtained in Example 33 was filtered using a filter aid (Radiolite 600). After adjustment to pH 6.8, the filtrate (1420 L) was subjected to column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (150 L), washed with water (450 L) and then eluted with 70% (v/v) aqueous methanol (750 L). The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure, passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (C1 type, 25 L), and washed with water (50 L). The effluent was combined with washings, which was adjusted to pH 7 and subjected to a column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (60L). The column was washed with water (180L), then eluted with 70% (v/v) aqueous methanol (120L), and the eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure. In washings, TAN-1756B (2.6g) was detected by HPLC analysis. The concentrate was again subjected to a column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (100-200 mesh, 2L). The column was subjected to fractional elution with water (6L) and 20% (v/v) aqueous methanol (6 L), successively. In the effluent and washings (0-2L), TAN-1756A (4.3 g) was detected by HPLC analysis. The fractions eluted with water (2-6L) and with 20% (v/v) (0-2L) were combined and concentrated. The concentrate was combined with the concentrate obtained from the culture broth (1200L) by substantially the same procedure to obtain 400 ml of the concentrate.
The concentrate (400 ml) thus obtained was subjected to a column chromatography with Amberlite IRC-50 (Na type, 1L). The column was subjected to fractional elution with water (4L) and 1M saline (6L), successively. The fraction eluted with water (1.5-4L) and that eluted with 1M saline were combined, which was subjected to a column chromatography with Diaion HP-20 (500 ml). The column was washed with water (2L) and 50% (v/v) aqueous methanol (1.5L), and then eluted with 50% (v/v) methanol/0.005M HCl (1L). The eluate was concentrated, which was lyophilized to give a crude powder (987 mg) containing TAN-1756C and D.
This crude powder (980 mg) was dissolved in water (100 ml). The solution was allowed to pass through a column packed with CM-sephadex C-25 (Na type, 80 ml), and washed with water (240 ml), followed by fractional elution with a 0.05M saline. The resulting fractions were divided into two combined fractions: a fraction dominated by TAN-1756C (1000-1240 ml) and a fraction dominated by TAN-1756D (740-1000 ml). Each fraction was desalinized with Diaion HP-20. The eluate was concentrated, lyophilized to yield a powder (330 mg) containing TAN-1756C and another powder (150 mg) containing TAN-1756D.
The powder containing TAN-1756C (320 mg) was subjected to preparative HPLC [column, YMC-Pack, S-363-15, ODS; mobile phase, 4% (v/v) acetonitrile/0.01M phosphate buffer solution (pH 3.0); flow rate, 20 ml/min.). The fractions giving a single peak of TAN-1756C in analytical HPLC, were collected, which was allowed to pass through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (C1 type, 100 ml), and washed with water (100 ml). The effluent was combined with washings, and the mixture was concentrated and desalinized with Diaion HP-20 (30 ml). The eluate was concentrated and then lyophilized to yield TAN-1756C monohydrochloride (181 mg). TAN-1756C monohydrochloride (178 mg) was dissolved in water (20 ml), which was allowed to pass through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (SO.sub.4 type, 10 ml), then the column was washed with water (20 ml). The effluent and washings were combined, which was concentrated and then lyophilized to yield TAN-1756C 1/2 sulfate (Compound 30; 173 mg).
The powder containing TAN-1756D (145 mg) was subjected to preparative HPLC [column, YMC-Pack, D-ODS-5; mobile phase, 3% (v/v) acetonitrile/0.01M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0); flow rate, 10 ml/min.]. The fraction showing a single peak in analytical HPLC was collected, which was allowed to pass through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (SO.sub.4 type, 50 ml), then the column was washed with water (90 ml). The effluent and washings were combined, which was concentrated and then desalinized with Diaion HP-20 (15 ml). The eluate was concentrated and then lyophilized to yield TAN-1756D 1/2 sulfate (compound 31; 78 mg).

EXAMPLE 98
TAN-1803 monohydrochloride
After compound 94 (343 mg) was dissolved in methanol (8 ml), water (4 ml), acetic acid (31 .mu.l) and 10% (w/w) palladium/activated carbon (34 mg) were added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1.5 hours in hydrogen atmosphere. After the catalyst was filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated and then subjected to preparative HPLC [column YMC-Pack, D-ODS-5 (S-5 120A); mobile phase 2% (v/v) acetonitrile/0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.3); flow rate 10 ml/min]. The fraction showing a single peak of TAN-1803 in analytical HPLC was collected, passed through a column packed with Amberlite IRA-402 (C1 type, 100 ml), and washed with water (100 ml). The effluent was combined with washings, concentrated, and then desalinized with Diaion HP-20 (100-200 mesh, 80 ml). The eluate was concentrated and lyophilized to yield TAN-1803 monohydrochloride (compound 92; 107 mg) (yield 49%).
The physico-chemical data on this compound agreed with those on the compound obtained from the culture broth.
