HELICOMYCES
DESCRIPTION
NOVEL COMPOUND
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to new bioactive compounds, hereinafter entitled WF19353 substances which are useful as a medicament.
DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to new bioactive compounds, WF19353 substances.
More particularly, it relates to novel compounds, WF19353 substances which have the inhibitory activity against gluconeogenesis, to a process for preparation thereof, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same, which are useful as antidiabetic or antiobesic agents, and to a use thereof as a medicament.
Accordingly, one object of this invention is to provide the novel compounds, WF19353 substances which are of use for treating and preventing diabetes, obesity and the like.
Another object of this invention is to provide a process for production of the WF19353 substances by fermentation of a WF19353 substances- producing strain belonging to the genus Helicomyces in a nutrient medium.
A further object of this invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition containing, as an active ingredient, the WF19353 substances.
Still further object of this invention is to provide a use of the WF19353 substances for treating and preventing diabetes, obesity and the like. The WF19353 substances comprise 4 components, which are referred to as WF19353F substance, WF19353B substance, WF19353A substance and WF19353D substance, respectively, and, in this specification, the expression "WF19353 substance" refers to one of the WF19353 substances.
The WF19353 substances can be produced by fermentation of the WF19353 substances-producing strain belonging to the genus Helicomyces such as Helicomyces sp. No. 19353 in a nutrient medium.
It is to be understood that the production of the WF19353 substances is not limited to the use of the particular organism described herein, which is given for the illustrative purpose only. This invention also includes the use of any mutants which are capable of producing the WF19353 substances including natural mutants as well as artificial mutants which can be produced from the described organism by conventional means such as irradiation of X- ray, ultra-violet radiation, treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N- nitrosoguanidine, 2-aminopurine, and the like.
Characteristics of producing strain No.19353
The fungal strain No.19353 was originally isolated from a decayed leaf sample, collected at Kawauchi-mura, Futaba-gun, Fukushima-ken, Japan. This organism grew restrictedly on various culture media, and formed dark brown colonies. On the Miura's LCA medium (Miura, K. and M. Kudo: Trans. My col. Soc. Japan, 11:116-118, 1970), the strain produced helical conidia from vegetative hyphae. The conidia were hyaline, multicellular, coiled and planate. Teleomorph was not observed. Its mycological characteristics were as follows.
Cultural characteristics on various agar media are summarized in Table
1. Culture on potato dextrose agar grew restrictedly, attaining 1.5-2.5 cm in diameter two weeks later at 25 °C. This colony surface was convex, felty, radiately sulcate or wrinkly, partly hygroscopic, brownish gray to grayish brown, and white to yellowish white at the margin. The reverse color was brownish gray to grayish brown, and pale gray to yellowish gray at the margin. Conidial structures were not observed. Colonies on corn meal agar spread with similar rate as on potato dextrose agar under the same conditions. The surface was plane, thin, submerged, hygroscopic, dark gray at the center, and brownish gray to olive brown at the margin. The reverse was olive gray to olive. Conidial structures were not produced.
The morphological characteristics were determined from the cultures on the Miura's LCA plate. Conidia were borne on sessile denticles of vegetative and aerial hyphae, or on short lateral branches. Conidiogenous cells were acrogenous or intercalary, monoblastic or polyblastic, pale brown, smooth, cylindrical, and denticulate. The denticles were 2-5 x 1-2 μm in size. Conidia were holoblastic, solitary, hyaline, smooth, helical, coiled 2-3 times in two dimensions, planate, and 13-18(-25) μm in diameter. They were sometimes uncoiled and formed filamentous shapes. Conidial filaments were 5-12 septate and 1-2 μm thick. Chlamydospores were formed intercalary, solitary but aggregated at old cultures, pale brown, smooth, subglobose to pyriform, and 5-9 μm in diameter. Vegetative hyphae were smooth, septate, pale brown and branched. The hyphal cells were cylindrical and 2-4 μm in width.
Strain No.19353 was able to grow at the temperature range from 5 to 31 °C, with the growth optimum at 24 to 27°C. These temperature data were determined on potato dextrose agar (made by NISSUI).
We compared the above morphological characteristics with fungal taxonomic criteria by von Arx (J. A. von Arx: The Genera of Fungi - Sporulating in Pure Culture. 3rd ed., pp. 315, J. Cramer, Vaduz, 1974) and by Goos (R. D. Goos: Mycologia 79: 1-22, 1987). As the consequence, the strain No.19353 was considered to belong to the hyphomycete genus Helicomyces Link 1809. Thus, we identified this isolate as one strain of the genus Helicomyces , and named it Helicomyces sp. No.19353. The strain has been deposited to the National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Japan, as FERM BP-6358 (deposited date: May 15, 1998).

These characteristics were observed after 14 days of incubation at 25 °C. The color descriptions were based on Methuen Handbook of Colour (Kornerup, A. and J. H. Wanscher, 3rd ed., pp. 252, Methuen, London, 1978). Production of the WF19353 substances
The WF19353 substances are produced when the WF19353 substances- producing strain belonging to the genus Helicomyces is grown in a nutrient medium containing sources of assimilable carbon and nitrogen under aerobic conditions (e. g. shaking culture, submerged culture, etc.).
The preferred sources of carbon in the nutrient medium are carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose, starch, fructose or glycerin, or the like.
The preferred sources of nitrogen are peanut powder, yeast extract, peptone, gluten meal, cotton seed flour, soybean powder, soybean meal, corn steep liquor, dried yeast, wheat germ, etc., as well as inorganic and organic nitrogen compounds such as ammonium salts (e. g. ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, etc.), urea or amino acid, or the like.
The carbon and nitrogen sources, though advantageously employed in combination, need not to be used in their pure form because less pure materials, which contain traces of growth factors and considerable quantities of mineral nutrients, are also suitable for use.
When desired, there may be added to the medium mineral salts such as sodium or calcium carbonate, sodium or potassium phosphate, sodium or potassium chloride, sodium or potassium iodide, magnesium salts, copper salts, zinc salts, iron salts, or cobalt salts, or the like.
If necessary, especially when the culture medium foams seriously, a defoaming agent such as liquid paraffin, fatty oil, plant oil, mineral oil, silicone or the like may be added.
Agitation and aeration of the culture mixture may be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as agitation by a propeller or similar mechanical agitation equipment, by revolving or shaking the fermenter, and the like. The fermentation is usually conducted at a temperature between about 10°C and 40 °C, preferably 20 °C to 35 °C, for a period of about 24 hours to 120 hours, which may be varied according to fermentation conditions and scales.
When the fermentation is completed, the culture broth is then subjected for recovery of the WF19353 substances to various procedures conventionally used for recovery and purification of biological active substance, for instance, solvent extraction with an appropriate solvent or a mixture of some solvents, chromatography or recrystallization from an appropriate solvent or a mixture thereof.
