摘要:
The present invention provides a method for producing a 12-membered ring macrolide compound expected as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for solid tumors and the like, and a production intermediate thereof. In detail, by acetalizing hydroxyl groups at 6- and 7-positions of a 12-membered ring macrolide compound being a raw material with dialkyl tin (IV) oxide and, after that, reacting the product with a carbamoyl halide derivative, the 7-position urethane derivative of the 12-membered ring macrolide compound being the target is effectively produced, without protecting hydroxyl groups at other positions.
摘要:
A polypeptide participating in the biosynthesis of pladienolide as a macrolide compound; a DNA coding for such a polypeptide; a variant thereof; a transformant in which part or the whole of such a DNA or variant thereof has been incorporated; and a process for producing pladienolide as a macrolide compound with the use of such a transformant. In particular, there is provided an isolated pure DNA comprising at least one region coding for a polypeptide participating in the biosynthesis of pladienolide. Further, there are provided a polypeptide coded for by this DNA and a recombinant plasmid capable of self-replication or integration replication carrying this DNA. Still further, there are provided a transformant carrying this DNA and a process for producing pladienolide, characterized in that this transformant is cultured in a culture medium and pladienolide is collected from the culture solution.
摘要:
The present invention provides polypeptides that participate in the biosynthesis of the pladienolide macrolide compounds, DNA that encodes these polypeptides and variants of this DNA, transformants that maintain all or a portion of this DNA or variant thereof, and a method of producing the pladienolide macrolide compounds using these transformants. More particularly, it provides an isolated pure DNA that contains at least one region encoding a polypeptide that participates in pladienolide biosynthesis; polypeptide encoded by this DNA; a self-replicating or integrated-replicating recombinant plasmid carrying this DNA; a transformant maintaining this DNA; and a method of producing a pladienolide, characterized by culturing this transformant on culture medium and collecting pladienolide from this culture medium.
