This application is a national phase application under 35 U.S.C. §371 that claims priority to PCT Application No. PCT/JP2013/052870 filed on Feb. 7, 2013, which claims the benefit of Japanese Application No. 2012-024722 filed Feb. 8, 2012, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present invention relates to a method for producing cereulide and a derivative thereof. The present invention also relates to an intermediate for production of cereulide and a cereulide derivative.
Bacillus cereus that lives in the soil propagates in starch-based foods such as rice, pilaf and spaghetti, and produces cereulide that induces an emetic action on an animal such as human. It is also known that not all Bacillus cereus species produce cereulide, but only Bacillus cereus species which acquire a cereulide synthetic gene produce this toxic substance.
Currently, when food poisoning by cereulide is suspected, a method for identifying cereulide in an extract of the food by HPLC or LC/MS is carried out. There is also a method for carrying out bioassay using cells, using a vacuolating action of cereulide as an index.
It is known that such cereulide has high heat resistance, acid resistance, and resistance to digestive enzymes, is not deactivated in the process of cooking and digestion, and acts on the small intestine nervous system to induce vomiting phenomenon. Furthermore, liver damage, mitochondrial toxicity, induction of alteration of cellular morphology, apoptosis induction and the like are reported, but researches of molecular mechanism of the vomiting phenomenon or other toxicity at a molecular level have not made any progress.
For the determination of food poisoning, methods by detection of a synthetic enzyme gene in a specimen (Patent Documents 1 and 2) are also suggested.
However, development of a simple analysis method, not a method requiring an expensive analytical instrument and skilled technique, is desirable.
For qualitative or quantitative analysis for determining food poisoning due to cereulide, as well as toxicity evaluation or elucidation of the mechanism at a cellular or molecular level, a pure cereulide reference standard is often required.
Currently commercially available cereulide is extracted from a culture solution of Bacillus cereus, and is available as a methanol solution of cereulide.
As a method for obtaining such cereulide, methods for synthesizing cereulide and a derivative thereof are also suggested (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).
Currently commercially available cereulide is very expensive, and is derived from a culture solution, thus the purity of the cereulide is not so high. It has been desirable to easily produce highly pure cereulide.
Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing cereulide and a derivative thereof, and a cereulide derivative.
The present inventors have intensively studied, and found that the object can be achieved by the method for producing cereulide and a derivative thereof, an intermediate for production of cereulide, and a cereulide derivative, whereby the present invention is accomplished.
More specifically, the present invention relates to cereulide or a precursor of a derivative thereof, selected from the group consisting of the following formulae:
wherein Y represents OH or NH(CH2)5COOH.
The present invention further relates to a didepsipeptide represented by

The present invention further relates to a depsipeptide as shown below
wherein 1 is an integer of 0 to 2, n is an integer of 0 to 2, and m is an integer of 0 or 1, wherein 1, m and n are not simultaneously 0, and 1+m+n is 2 or less.
The present invention further relates to a method for producing cereulide or a derivative thereof represented by
wherein X represents isopropyl, (CH2)2COOH or (CH2)2CONH(CH2)5COOH, comprising a cyclization reaction by formation of an intramolecular amide bond of the precursor of cereulide or a derivative thereof.

The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. It is to be expressly understood, however, that each of the figures is provided for the purpose of illustration and description only and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the present invention.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Cereulide is a 36-membered macrocyclic compound (macrolide) in which six amino acids and six hydroxy acids are alternatively linked by an amide bond and an ester bond, and can also be called as cyclododecadepsipeptide. Cereulide has the structure as follows, that is constituted of two types of amino acids, L-valine (L-Val) and D-alanine (D-Ala) and two types of α-hydroxy acids, D-leucine acid (D-O-Leu) and L-valine acid (L-O-Val).
In many cases, cereulide functions as an ionophore of K+, Na+, or NH4+. Such a capturing action is considered as a cause of bioactivities.
The inventors have considered that the step of cyclizing a linear precursor to construct a 36-membered ring structure is the most important key stage in the total synthesis of cereulide, and have focused on that the method by formation of an ester bond is conventionally adopted for achieving this cyclization reaction. Regarding cereulide and a derivative, all the conventionally known synthetic methods include a cyclization step as shown in the following schematic view.
In the present invention, a tetradepsipeptide L-Val-D-O-Leu-D-Ala-L-O-Val is focused as a repeating structure unit of cereulide. More specifically, cereulide is a macrolide cyclized by linking three of the repeating structure units, and can also be described as (L-Val-D-O-Leu-D-Ala-L-O-Val)3.
The present invention relates to a novel production method including macrocyclic construction by amide bond formation as a key reaction, unlike a conventional method. The starting materials in the production method of the present invention are all commercially available, and two hydroxy acids, i.e., D-leucine acid (D-O-Leu) and L-valine acid (L-O-Val), can be prepared from commercially available D-leucine and L-valine, by a method known in the literature, and used in the following fragment synthesis.
Further, in the present invention, taking note on the problem that, in the depsipeptide synthesis, the longer the peptide chain is, the larger the steric hindrance is, whereby the solubility in an organic solvent is reduced to cause reduction in the reaction yield. Thus, in order to avoid such a problem, a method of first synthesizing a tetradepsipeptide repeating structural unit, followed by binding two of the structural units to obtain an octadepsipeptide (2× structural unit), thereafter further binding the octadepsipeptide with a tetradepsipeptide to prepare a linear dodecadepsipeptide of three structural units (precursor) and cyclizing the dodecadepsipeptide is adopted.
The intramolecular cyclization reaction of a precursor by amide bond construction in the present invention can also be carried out by changing various reaction conditions such as a condensing agent, a solvent and the temperature, and can also be optimized for realizing a high yield.
According to the method of the present invention, synthesis of cereulide and a derivative thereof can be sought in commercially available raw materials (amino acid). More specifically, it is possible to synthesize cereulide using L-valine, D-leucine and D-alanine, and synthesize a derivative by adding L-glutamic acid and 6-aminohexanoic acid to these materials.
Hereinbelow, the method of the present invention will be described in detail by each synthetic stage of the fragment. As a protective group used in the production, for example, protective groups described in “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1999)” from WILEY-Interscience publication are properly used.
First, as the amino acid required for synthesis, L-valine with any protective group attached thereto can be used in the synthesis, and a commercially available product with a protective group attached thereto can also be used as it is. Examples of the commercially available product include Boc-L-valine protected with a tert-butoxycarbonyl group manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
Next, D-leucine acid and L-valine acid can be respectively synthesized from D-leucine and L-valine. Hydroxy acids such as D-leucine acid and L-valine acid can be used in any method as long as it is a method that can convert an amino group of D-leucine acid and L-valine acid into a hydroxyl group.
A representative example is a method of reacting D-leucine or L-valine with a nitrite. It is preferred that D-leucine or L-valine be dissolved in a strong acid such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, prior to this reaction, and used.
Furthermore, it is also possible to attach a protective group to the hydroxy acid obtained as described above, in preparation for the next reaction. As the protective group, a benzyl group and the like are preferably used.
Similarly, a protective group can also be added to D-alanine to prepare for the next reaction.
Next, a didepsipeptide is synthesized using the amino acid and hydroxy acid obtained as described above.
A didepsipeptide may be synthesized under any condition as long as it is a condition that can achieve esterification by a dehydration reaction. Particularly preferred is a reaction carried out by adding a strong base such as dimethylaminopyridine and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to a solvent such as a dichloromethane solution, but the synthesis condition is not limited thereto.
It is preferred to bind L-valine to D-leucine acid, then remove a group protecting the carboxyl group and use it in the subsequent tetradepsipeptide synthesis. Meanwhile, it is possible to bind D-alanine to D-valine acid, then remove the group protecting the amino group and use it in the subsequent tetradepsipeptide synthesis.
Next, the obtained didepsipeptides are bound to synthesize a tetradepsipeptide. At the time, the synthesis can be carried out under any condition as long as it is a condition that can form an amide bond. Preferably, a method of acting various condensing agents under neutral conditions can be adopted. A tetradepsipeptide serves as a repeating unit for cereulide synthesis. For the ease of carrying out the next synthesis, it is also desirable to prepare two types of fragment A and fragment B to which the protective groups are each added to the different portions of the terminals.
The protected repeating structure units that are each a key intermediate of cereulide synthesis, fragment A (12) and fragment B (13), were synthesized in the above pathway.
Furthermore, the fragments obtained as described above are linked by an amide bond, thereby synthesizing an octadepsipeptide and further synthesizing a dodecadepsipeptide.
It is preferred that the linear dodecadepsipeptide obtained as described above be cyclized while preventing an intermolecular reaction, to synthesize cereulide.
In more detail, it is possible to efficiently progress an intramolecular cyclization reaction by optimizing various conditions such as a condensing agent, a solvent and the temperature.
The condensing agent is not limited, but examples include organophosphorous compounds such as diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA), diethylphosphoryl cyanidate and azidotris(dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, quinoline-based peptide condensing agents such as N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) and 1-isobutyl-2-isobutyl-1,2-dihydroxyquinoline, uronium-based condensing agents such as 0-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU) and 0-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), carbodiimides such as diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide, and phosphonium-based condensing agents such as (benzotriazole-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate, (benzotriazole-1-yloxy)trispyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate and bromotripyrrolizinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate. Furthermore, these condensing agents can be used together with an additive such as 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazole (HOAt) or 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt).
Examples of the solvent used for the reaction include methylene chloride, dimethylformamide and the like.
In the cyclization reaction, an intermolecular bond may be formed in a normal state, and thus it is preferred to perform the cyclization reaction by a high dilution method.
In the present cyclization reaction, the intramolecular reaction precedes an intermolecular reaction, and thus it is possible to increase the yield of isolation of a subject matter. More specifically, it is preferred to suppress the production of a by-product, and precede an intramolecular cyclization reaction.
The present invention further has high applicability in the synthesis of a cereulide derivative (derivative). More specifically, the constituent amino acid or hydroxy acid in the repeating structure unit is appropriately changed, whereby simple synthesis of the derivative is made possible.
For example, novel derivatives such as E-cereulide in which L-valine is replaced by L-glutamic acid, and EAHA-cereulide obtained by introducing aminohexanoic acid into E-cereulide can be synthesized.
These new compounds are expected to be a useful tool molecule for elucidating physiological activity mechanisms of cereulide with many unclear parts, including preparation of an anticereulide antibody.
More specifically, E-cereulide is a derivative in which one L-valine in cereulide is replaced by L-glutamic acid, and EAHA-cereulide is one in which an omega-carboxyl group of E-cereulide is modified with aminohexanoic acid. In these two derivatives, a carboxyl group rich in reactivity is arranged in the external of a 36-membered ring via a carbon chain, and thus, further chemical modification is possible, and these two derivatives can be used as a hapten molecule or labeled molecule for preparing an anticereulide antibody.
Synthesis of such a cereulide derivative can be carried out by preparing one of three tetradepsipeptides L-Val-D-O-Leu-D-Ala-L-O-Val, that is a repeating unit of cereulide, of which L-valine is replaced with L-glutamic acid {R=(CH2)2COOH} or L-glutamic acid+aminohexanoic acid {R=(CH2)5COOH}.
That is, it is possible to carry out the synthesis specifically by the following method. For example, the cereulide derivative can be synthesized using a commercially available protective L-glutamic acid derivative or the like as a starting material.
A didepsipeptide may be synthesized under any condition as long as it is a condition that can achieve esterification by a dehydration reaction. Particularly preferred is a reaction carried out by adding a strong base such as dimethylaminopyridine and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to a solvent such as a dichloromethane solution, but it is not limited thereto.
It is preferred to thereafter remove the group protecting the carboxyl group and use it in the subsequent tetradepsipeptide synthesis. Meanwhile, it is possible to bind D-alanine to D-valine acid, then remove the group protecting the amino group and use it in the subsequent tetradepsipeptide synthesis.
The obtained didepsipeptides are bound to synthesize a tetradepsipeptide. The synthesis can be carried out under any condition as long as it is a condition that can form an amide bond. Preferably, a method of acting various condensing agents under neutral conditions can be adopted. For the ease of carrying out the next synthesis, it is desirable to prepare two types of fragment C and fragment D.
Furthermore, the fragments obtained as described above are linked by an amide bond, thereby synthesizing an octadepsipeptide and further synthesizing a dodecadepsipeptide. An example thereof is shown below, but is not limited thereto, and a method of linking tetradepsipeptides, the position of the protective group and the like can be appropriately changed.
Here, when synthesizing a depsipeptide, 34a, b having L-glutamic acid (Series a) or L-glutamic acid+aminohexanoic acid (Series b) may be bound so as to be sandwiched between fragment A and fragment B, and further, the amino group terminal of fragment 5 can also be bound to the carboxyl group terminal of 34a, b, by appropriately changing the position of the protective group.
It is preferred that the linear dodecadepsipeptide obtained as described above be cyclized while preventing an intermolecular reaction, to synthesize a cereulide derivative:
wherein R represents (CH2)2COOH or (CH2)2CONH(CH2)5COOH.
The cereulide derivative as described above can be easily modified, and is useful for the production of an antigen for the antibody production. Furthermore, it is also possible to label the cereulide derivative, in order to make a tool for elucidating physiological functions of cereulide.
In order to make an antigen for the antibody production, it is preferred to bind a polymer such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) or keyhole lympet hemocyanin (KLH) to the carboxyl group part of the cereulide derivative.
A labeled cereulide to be a tool for elucidating physiological functions can be achieved, for example, by covalently binding a labeled substance such as biotin to the carboxyl group part of the cereulide derivative.
As a tool for revealing the physiological activity of cereulide at a molecular level, a photolabeled form was synthesized by introducing biotin into the side chain of E-cereulide.
In each step of the synthesis as described above, the substance is properly subjected to a neutralization step and a purification step, and then may be subjected to the next step. Each product in each of the steps as described above may be isolated and purified, or may be directly subjected to the next step. Examples of the isolation and purification means include washing, extraction, a recrystallization method, various chromatographic techniques and the like. Each product in each step can be subjected to any one of these isolation and purification means or any proper combination of two or more kinds of these isolation and purification means.
The cereulide and a derivative thereof obtained in the method of the present invention and a derivative thereof are obtained in a high yield and have high purity, and thus are highly useful as a cereulide specimen. In the present invention, it is also possible to provide a cereulide detection kit containing a cereulide specimen. The cereulide detection kit as described above can be provided with a solvent to dissolve cereulide, a culture medium and the like. Furthermore, cereulide can be widely used for applications such as a potassium ion selective electrode utilizing cereulide's properties of incorporating potassium ion, and an anticancer drug utilizing an apoptosis action to cancer cells. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide more specific cancer cell selectivity by a combination with a drug delivery system or the like.
The cereulide derivative of the present invention can be used as it is or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or in the form of mixture of the cereulide derivative with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier as a preparation known to a person killed in the art.
Examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt include salts of an inorganic base, salts of an organic base, salts of an inorganic acid, salts of an organic acid, salts of a basic or acidic amino acid and the like.

Under ice cooling, TFA (2 mL) was slowly added to a dichloromethane (2 mL) solution of 39 (69 μmol), and the mixture was stirred under ice cooling for 1 hour. After confirming the progress of the reaction by TLC, toluene was added to the reaction liquid, and the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. In order to completely remove TFA, toluene was added to the concentrated residue and TFA was azeotropically distilled away. This operation was repeated three times to obtain a pale yellow solid 40. This solid was used for the next cyclization reaction without purification.

A cyclization reaction of a precursor 40 was carried out in the same manner as in cereulide synthesis. More specifically, in a reaction vessel replaced with argon, diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) (9.8 μL, 45.5 μmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (12 mL), and then N,N-diisopropylethylamine (15.7 μL, 90 μmol) was slowly added thereto to prepare a liquid A.
Separately, the precursor 40 (31 μmol) was dissolved in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (8 mL) to prepare a liquid B.
Under room temperature, the liquid B was slowly added dropwise to the liquid A using a microsyringe over 1 hour or more, and continuously stirred under room temperature for 10 days. The reaction liquid was concentrated under reduced pressure to distill dichloromethane away, and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and sequentially washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 1 N hydrochloric acid and a saturated saline solution. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain a pale yellow solid 41.
