The no~el antibiotic of the in~ention, U-44,590 is
obtained by culturing Streptomyces p.latensis ~ar. clarensis.
NRRL 80~5, in an aqueous nutrient medium under aerobic
conditions. Various derivati~es of U-44,590 can be made
as disclosed infra. Uw44,590 and its deri~ati~es ha~e
the property of ad~ersely af~ecting the growth o~ Gram-
negati~e and Gr2m-positi~e bacteria, for example, _rep~o-
coccus ~ æ~L~ , Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella Sp.,
Serratia marcescens, Past~urell~ multocida7 Hemophilus Sp.,
Proteus ~ and Proteus rettqeri. Accordingly, U-44,590
and its deri~ati~es can be used alone or in combination
--
with o~her antibiotic agents to pre~ent the growth of or
reduce the number of bacteria, as disclosed above, in
~arious environments.
U-44,590 and its derivati~es are also acti~e against ~ -
- DNA ~iruses, for example, the Herpes ~irus and, thusJ can ~-~
be used to control such ~irus where its presence is not
desired.

The ab~e antibacterial spectrum was obtained by a
standard agar dilution test with the following media and
' conditions:
Difco Brain Heart Infusion Medium was used for all
test bacteria except P. multocida and Hemoehilus species
which were grown in Difco Blood Agar Base with 5% de-
fibrinated rabbit blood. All were grown aerobically at
37 C. (except ~ e~ species, grown anaerobically)
16-18 hours. Inocula were grown o~ernite (16-18 hours)
o
at 37 C. and used to seed agar at the rate of 0.025 ml.
of 10 3 dilution (approximately 2500 to 25,000 bacteria
per drop of inoculum).

daily for fi~e consecuti~e days. A detailed account of
the materials and methods and results are as follows:
Male mice, weighing approximately 20 gm. each, are
di~ided into 4 groups of 20. Grsup 1 is treated with
saline, Group 2 with 400 mg./kg./dose (mkd) U~47590,
Group 3 with 200 mkd U-44,590, and Group 4 with 100 mkd
U-44,590. The antibiotic is dissol~ed in saline and
administered subcutaneously in the nape of the neck at
8 a.m., 12 noon, ~ p.m., and 8 p.m. on days 0~ 1, 2, 3,
and 4. Herpes virus at-10~1 5 dilution, 0.05 ml/mouse,
.
equi~alent to a ~iral dose of 40 LD50sg is inoculated
into the tail ~ein at 10 a.m. on day 0. Paralysis and
death are recorded dai1y.
Hind leg paralysis usually preceded death by 1-2
days. All mice died that became paralyzed. Death pattern
of the ~ groups, as shown in the cur~es which follow,
il1ustrates the dose response obtained. Statis~ical
analysis of the resu7ts at day 11 indicates that all 3
tre~ted groups are significant1y different from the con-
trol group (1).

THE MiCROORGANISM
The microorganism used for the production of U-44,590
is streptomYces platensis ~ar. clarensis! NRRL 8035. A
subculture of this micronrganism can be obtained from the
permanent collection of the Northern Regional Research
; Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Peoria, Illinois,
U.S .~ .
The microorganism of this in~ention was studied and
characterized by Alma Dietz of the Upjohn Research Labora-
~ories.
A new soil isolate with hygroscopic spore masses, butwith smooth, hat~shaped (crescent) or brazil-nut-shaped
(elliptical) spores, has been found t~ differ in certain
- characteristics from thP type culture ~ æ~Y~ platensis.
An outstanding difference of the new culture is the produc-
; tion of antlbiotic U-44,590. The new isolate can be recog- -
ntzed as a ~ariant of Streptom~ces platensis by its cultural,
microscopic, and biochemical characteristics~ Therefore, it
is proposed ~hat this new isolate be designated strePtom~es

The new compound of the in~ention ;s produced when
the elab~rating organism is grown in an aqueous nutrient
medium under submerged aerobic conditions. It is to be
understood, also, that for the preparation of 7imited
amounts surface cultures and bottles can be employed.
The organism is grown in a nutrient medium containing a
carbon source, for example~ an assimilable carbohydrate,
and a nitrogen source~ for example, an assimilable nitro~
gen compound or proteinaceous material. Preferred carbon : `
sources inclùde glucose, brown sugar~ sucrose, glycerol,
starch, cornstarch, lactose, dextrin, molasses, and the ~;
like. Preferred nitrogen sources include cornsteep liquvr,
yeast, autolyzed brewerls yeast with milk solids, soybean
meal, cottonseed meal, cornmeal, milk solidsJ pancreatic
digest of casein, fish meal, dist:illersl solids, animal
peptone liquors) meat and bone sc:raps, and the like. Com-
binations of these carbon and nit:rogen sources can be used
ad~antageously. Trace metals, for example, zino, magnesium,
manganese~ cobalt, iron~ and the like, need not be added
to the fermentation media since tap water and unpurified
`~ ingreJients are used as components of the medium prior to
sterilization of the medium.
Production of the compound o~ the in~ention can be
effected at any temperature conduci~e to satisfactory --
growth of the microorganism, for example, be~ween about
18 and 40 C~, and preferably between about 20 and ~2 C.
Ordinarily, optimum production of the compound is obtained
In about S to 15 days. The medium nonmally remains neutral
during the fermentation. The final pH is dependentJ in
30 part~ on the buf~ers present, if any and in part on the
,~

-~ 3143
initial pH of the culture medium.
When growth is carried out in large ~essels and tanks,
it is preferable to use the ~egetati~e form, rather than
the spore Form, of the microorganism for inoculation to
a~oid a pronounced lag in the production of the new com-
pound and the attendant inefficient utilization ~f the
equipment. Accordingly, it is desirable to produce a ~ege-
tati~e inoculum in a nutrient broth culture by inoculating
this broth culture with an aliquot from a soil, liquid N2 agar
plug, or a slant culture. When a young, acti~e ~egetative
inoculum has thus been secured, it is transferred asepti-
cally to large ~essels or tanks. The medium in which the ~- -
~egetati~e inoculum is produced can be the same as, or
different from, that utilized for the production of the
new compound, so long as a good growth of the microorganism
is obtained.
A ~ariety of procedures can be employed in the isola~-
tion and purification oF the compound of the subject in~en-
tion, for example, sol~ent extraction~ partition chromato~
graphy, silica gel chromatography, liquid-liquid distribu-
t;on in a Craig apparatus, absorption on resins, and
crystallization from sol~ents.
In a preferred reco~ery process the compound of the
subject in~ention is reco~ered from the culture medium by
separation of the mycelia and undissol~ed solids by con-
~entional means, such as by filtration or zentrifugatTon.
The antibiotic is reco~ered from the filtered or centri-
~uged broth by adsorption on acti~a~ed carbon. The acti
~ted carbon is then washed with water to remo~e some
~0 impurities. This is followed by elu~ions with ace~one:
-35~
: :'

water solutions which remo~e the antibiotic from the
3ct~ated carbon. The acetone in the eluates is remo~ed,
ad~antageously by evaporatiOn, and the remalnlng aqu~ou~
residue is lyophilized to afford a crud~ preparation of
antibiotic U-44,590.
A preferred pur i f i cation procedure is to subject a
crude preparation of U 44,~90, as described abo~e, to
chromatography on siliea gel from which U 44,590 i5
eluted. Fract;ons which show acti~ity
against the bacterium Klebsiella Pneumoniae on a standard
agar plate test, are pooled and taken to dryness to yield
a relatî~ely pure preparation of U-44,590. Further purifi- :
eatlon is achie~ed by acetylation to a crystalline diacetate

U-44l590 can be used to inhibit the growth of E. coli in
hospital flower ~ases where it has been reported to exis-t
and present a hazard to hospital patients. See Clinical
Medicine, February, 1974, Page 9.
No~el acyl deri~ati~es of U-44,590, as disclosed
herein, can be used for the same antibiotic purposes as
u_l~4,5go in en~ironments possessing means to deacyla~e
the compound to U-44~590. Thus, the acyl deri~ati~es of
U-44~590 can be used to treat laboratory mice in~ected
with a Gram-negati~e bacteria, for example E. coli, as
disclosed herein. Further, acyl deri~ati~es of U-44~590
can be used, ad~antageously, to upgrade U-44,590. This
` i5 accomplished by acylating U-44,590, reco~ering the
acylated compound relati~ely free of impurities then de-
acylating the acylated U-44,590 to gi~e U-44,590 in a
more purified form.

Part D. Purification No. 2
The prepa rations of U-44,590 obtained as described ~ -
in Part_C., can be further purifïed to a preparation of
essentially pure U-44,590 by passage o\~er another silica
gel column using this time the sol\~ent system meth~nol: -
methylene chloride (1:8 \~ ). The procedure i~ as follows:
A U-44,590 preparation, as obtained in Part C~, (2.28
grams) is dissol~led in methanol and 7 grams of silica gel~
as described in Part C.. is added. The sol~lent from this
mixture is remo\~ed on a rotary e\~aporator at 40 C. /7 mm.
` Hg The resulting solid is added to a column of silica
gel ~750 9., 4.8 x 96 cm, hold-up \lolume 1500 ml., made up

I'he tlc is conducted on silica gel plates using the
sol~ent system MeOH-CH2Cl2 (1:9 v/~). Zones of the anti-
biotic are detected by spraying the plates with 104/MnO4spray, and with 50% aq. H2S04 followed by heating at
110 C. for ca 10 min. The Rf of the acti~e material
in this sol~ent system is 0.11.
Part_E. Purification No; ~
The preparation of antibiotic U-44,590 obtained in ~'
Part D can be further purified by acetylation of the prep- -
aration followed by deacetylation and crystallization.
The procedure for acetylation is as follows: -
A sample (ca. 22 g.) of U-44,590 preparation, prepared
as described in Part D and assaying 160 BU/mg,is dissol~ed
in pyridine (300 ml). and to this solution.stirred magnetic-
ally.is added acetic anhydride (150 ml) o~er the course of
45 min. After st~nding o~ernight at room temperature,
~olatile materials are remo~ed as completely as possible -
on a rotatory e~aporator at 40 /15 mm. Hg., and finally
under high ~acuum, to gi~e a tan syrup.
This syrup is stirred with CH2Cl2 (200 ml), and a
colorless, flocculent precip;tate is remo~ed by filtration
and washed with CH2Cl2 until the washings are colorless. ~ '
1'he precipî~ate îs discarded. The comb;ned fîltrate and
washings are'washed with aqueous HCl (N/20, 100 ml) twice,
'the aqueous layer beîng acidic a~ter the second wash. The '~
aquenus layers are d'iscarded. The organic phase is then
washed with water (100 ml), saturated aqueous NaHC0~ (100 ml),
~0 again with water (100 ml)/ and dried (Na~S0~). The aqueous

layers are discarded.
Removal of sol~ent on a rotatory e~/aporator at 40 and
15 mm Hg. gi~es a dark syrup (21.10 g), which is dissol\~ed
in EtOAc (50 ml) by warming on a steam-bath. On cooling.
5 crystallization occurs; the solid is remo\~ed by filtration,
washed with EtûAc, and dried at 60 /15 mm. Hg., to gi\~e
essentially pure ~',5'-di-0-acetylated U-44,590 (12.01 9.,
o
m.p. 12 3-124.5 C.). Recrystal1ization from the same
sol~ent gi~es U-44.590 diacetate, having a melting point
124-125 C. This compound is then labeled U-44,474.
U-44,474 is deacetylated to afford essentially pure
U_44J590 by the Zemplen procedure which is as follows.
The crystalline diacetate U-44,474 (24.90 9) is stirred
magnetically in methanol (400 ml)J and methanoiic sodium
15 methoxide (Stauffer Chem. Co. 25~, 5 drops) is added. Stir-
ring is continued till the solid has dissol\~ed (Drierite
tube), and the solution allowed to stand at room temperature
for about 2 hours. Solid carbon dioxide, in small pieces,
- ;s then added cautiously, with stirring, to neutralize the
20 methoxide, and the sol\~en~ is remo~ed on a rotatory e~apor-
ator at 40 and 15 mm. Hg., giving a colorless oil.
The residue is dissol~ed in methanol (50 ml) by warm-
ing on a steambath and diluted with ethyl acetate (50 ml).

Example 2
The acylating procedure described in Example 1,
Part E can be substituted by acylating U-44,590 with any
readily-a~ailable acylating agent to qi~e aeylated
U-44,590. This acylated U-44,590 product can then be
deacylated by methods well known in the art to yield
a purified preparation of U-44,590. Readily-a~ailable
acylating agents which can be ùaed to acylate U-44,590,
and which are within the scope of this in~ention. are as
disclosed in U.S. Patent 3~426,012. Columns 5 and 6.
Example ~
As disclosed in Example 2, \~arious acylates of U-44,590
can be made, and these acylates are useful to upgrade
U-44,590. By following the procedure of Example 1, Part E,
the 3',5l-di-esters of U -44 7 590 ~re formed.
The 5'-mono-esters can be formed by standard procedure~
~sing a minimum amount of acylating agent.
The 3'-mono-esters and ~o~phate ~n be formed by tritylating
U-44,590 to gi~e the 5'-tr;tyl dori~ati~e, acylating this
compound with the desired acylating agent, selected -from
those disclosed abo~e, to gi~e the ~I-mono-ester 5~-trityl
deri~ati~e, which ~hen can be converted to the 31-mono-ester
by ren~o~al of the trityl group. The tritylat;on proc~dure
disclosed in U.S. Patent ~i~426,012. Columna 1~ and 5~ or
other standard tritylation procedures can be employed.
