of the antibiotic XK-62-2. The latter mentioned and the fer-
mentative production thereof is described and claimed in Canadian
Patent No. 1,003,772, issued January 18, 1977 and assigned to the
same assignee as the present application. Applicant's assignee's
Canadian Patent applications relating to semi-synthetic derivative
of XK-62-2 are Serial No. 216,641 and 216,640 filed December 12,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a derivative of the
antibiotic XK-62-2 and more specifically to the derivative
identified as l-N- (c~-hydroxy-~-aminopropionyl) XK-62-2 and the
production thereof.
Briefly stated, as disclosed in the aforementioned
Canadian Patent 1, 003,772 antibiotic XK-62-2 is produced by
culturing actinomycetes such as Micromonospora sagamiensis,
Micromonospora echinospora and Micromonospora purpurea by methods
usually employed in the culturing of actinomycetes. More speci-
fically, strains of the above-mentioned microorganisms such as
Micromonospora sagemiensis ATCC 21826, ATCC 21827, ATCC 21803 and
ATCC 21949 are inoculated into a li~uid medium containing a carbon
source which the microorganism can utilize such as sugars, hydro-
carbons, alcohols, organic acids, etc.; inorganic or organic
nitrogen sources and inorganic salts and growth promoting factors
and are cultured at 25 to 40 C for 2 to 12 days until substantial
antibacterial activity is detected in the Culture liquor. Isolation
and purification of XI~-62-2 is carried out by a combination of
adsorption

104~QS7
1 and desorption from ion exch~nge resins and active carbon and
7 ~um~ chr~ma~o~raphy usi~ cellulos~,~;sephad~x ~, ~lumina and
3 silica gel. In this manner, XK-62-2 can be obtained in the
4 form of a salt or as 2 free base.
s XK-62-2 is a basic substance and is obtained as a
6 white power. XK-62-2 has a molecular formula of
7 C20H4lN507, and a molecular weight of 463. The substance
8 is freely soluble in water and methanol, slightly soluble in
9 ethanol and acetone and insoluble in chloroform, benzene,
ethyl acetate and n-hexane.

prior to the acylation reaction for introducing an a-hydroxy-
B-substituted aminopropionyl group.

l3 DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
14 I. Acylation of XK-62-2
In accordance with the present invention the free
6 base of the compound, XK-62-2, is reacted with an acylating
7 agent, i.e. a compound capable of introducing an -hydroxy-
~-substituted aminopropionyl group wherein at least one of
l9 the hydrogen atoms of the ~-amino group is substituted by a
- protecting group in a suitable solvent to prepare an inter-
21 mediate compound having one of the hydrogen atoms of the amino
22 gro~p bonded to the carbon atom at the l-position of XK-62-2
23 ~ substituted by said acyl group.
2~ As the acylating agent, a-hydroxy-~-substituted
aminopropionic acid and its derivatives having an acylating
26 ability may be used.
27 The reaction is carried out in one or more solvents
28 selected, depending upon the acylating agent, from the group
19 consisting of tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl formamide, dimethylaceta-
3~ - mide, lower alcohols, dioxane, ethylene glycol dimethylether,
3I pyridine and water. If necessary, a clehydrating and/or condensing
- 5 -
~046QS7
I agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is added thereto. The
z reactiot3 te~perature is -50 to 50C, preferable, -20 to 20C.
Usually, 0.4-2.5 moles, preferably, 0.7-1.5 moles
~ of the acylating agent is used per one mole of XK-62-2. When
s an increased amount, for example, 5 moles of the acylating
agent is used or where the reaction is carried out at an
7 elevated temperature of, for example, 100C, reaction may
8 proceed but the selectivity of the position to which the
9 acyl group is introduced is greatly reduced or, otherwise,
o the acylating agent decomposes. Consequently, the production
Il yield of the intermediate compound in the reaction mixture
12 is decreased.
13 For the protecting group of the acylating agent,
1~3 any readily eliminable protecting group usually used in
peptide syntheses may be used. Such protecting group
6 and the corresponding protecting reagent which can introduce
the protecting group are described in M. Bodanszky et al:
l8 Peptide Synthesis, pages 21-41 (1966) (John ~iley & Sons,
I`J Inc., U.S.A.); and A. Kapoor: Journal of Pharmaceutical
2~ Sciences, Vol. 59, pages 1-27 (1970).
71 Examples of the preferred protecting groups and
27 the corresponding reagents are shown in Table 1 below.

I In the protecting groups and protecting reagents
2 set forth in Table I above, Rl. and R2 may be the same or
3 . . different and are H, OH, NO2, Cl, Br, I, alkyl groups having
1 to-5 carbon atoms or alkoxy groups having 1 to 5 carbon
5 . atoms, R3 is H, F, Cl, Br, I or an alkyl group havin~ 1 to 5
6 carbon atoms and X is C1, Br or I.
7 . As the above-described derivatives of ~-hydroxy-~
substituted aminopropionic acid, which have the ability to
acylate and are used as the acylating agent, acid halides,
. . acid azide, mixed acid.anhydrides and reactive esters may
be mentioned. Such derivatives are usually used in peptide
: . syntheses. .Examples of these derivatives are described in
3. M. Bodanszky et al: Synthesis, page 453 (1972); and in
- M. Bodanszky et al: Peptide Synthesis, pages 75-135 (1966)
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., U.S.A.).
6 . As preferred derivatives, those having a
17 structure with the hydroxy.group of the carboxy group of
18 ; a-hydroxy-B-substituted aminopropionic acid substituted

8 This acylating agent is prepared by reacting
~ a-hydroxy-~-carbobenzoxyaminopropionic acid with N-hydroxy-
succinimide in the presence of a dehydrating and condensing
11 agent, for example, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The acylating
12 agent prepared in this manner can, of course, be isolated
13 from the reaction mixture and then reacted with XK-62-2 or
14 the reaction mixture may be directly reacted with XK-62-2
without isolating the acylating agent.
6 It is to be understood that derivatives of
17 hydroxy-~-substituted aminopropionic acid wherein the
1~ hydroxy group is substituted by other groups than that
1') disclosed above can be prepared in a known manner and are ac-
ceptable for the reaction of the invention.
~t : The thus prepared intermediate compound may be
22 . isolated and purified from the reaction mixture and used
23 as the starting material for the subsequent reaction.
2~ However, it is preferred that after the completion of
2~ reaction, the reaction mixture be used as the starting
26 material for the subsequent reaction without purification.
27 The latter method is advantageous in simplifying the steps
28 ~ and enhancing the yield of recovery.
2~ If necessary, the intermediate compound may be
3~ readily isolated and purified by conventional methods, for
. 31 example, column chromatography using adsorbents such as ion

II. Elimination of the protecting group
4 The protecting group of the amino group contained
s . in the intermediate compound prepared in the above step I
6 is thereafter eliminated to prepare l-N-(a-hydroxy-~-amino-
7 propionyl) XK-62-2.
8 Elimination of the protecting group may be carried j
~) out by conventional methods. For example, where the protecting
lo groups form a phthaloyl group, elimination is accomplished
Il with hydrazine, where the protecting group is a carbomethoxy
12 . group or carboethoxy group, elimination is accomplished with
13 barium hydroxidei where the protecting group is a tertiary
~4 . butoxycarbonyl group, elimination is accomplished with formic
acid or trifluoroacetic acid; where the protecting group is
6 . trityl group, elimination is accomplished with acetic acid
7 or trifluoroacetic acid; where the protecting group is an
orthonitrophenylsulphenyl group, elimination is accomplished
1`) with acetic acid or hydrochloric acid; and where the protect-
2~ ing group is a chloroacetyl group, elimination is accomplished
21 with 3-nitropyridine-2-thione ~reported by K. Undheim et al:
22 Journal of~the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions, Part I,
23 page 829 (1973)].
~ In a preferred embodiment, the protecting group
2s of the intermediate compound is a ben7yloxycarbonyl group and
26 elimination is carried out by hydrogenolysis in the presence
-7 of a metal catalyst selected from palladium, platinum,
~8. . rhodium and Raney nickel, preferably, palladium catalyst on
29 a carrier of active carbon in at least one solvent selected
3~ from the group consisting of water, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl-
1~ acetamide, dimethylformamide,lo~er alcohols, dioxane, ethylene
-- 10 --.
1046QS7
glycol dimethyl ether, and/or pyridine, preferably, a mixture of
watcr and methanol (1:1); in the presence of a small amount
of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydriodic acid or
~ acetic acid, preferably, acetic acid, and at room temperaturc
s and at atmospheric pressure.
6 The thus prepared l-N-(a-hydroxy-~-aminopropionyl)
7 XK-62-2 is isolated and purified from the reaction mixture
8 in a known manner. For example, the compound is isolated
Y and purified by column chromatography using an adsorbent
o such as ion exchange resins, silica gel, alumina, cellulose,
Sephadex, etc., or thin layer chromatography using silica
gel, alumina, cellulose, etc.
I3 ; If desired, l-N-(a-hydroxy-~-aminopropionyl) XK-
1~ 62-2 prepared in accordance with the above may be converted
to pharmaceutically acceptable, non-toxic acid addition
16 salts ~mono-, di-, tri-, tetra or penta salts) according to
7 conventional methods such as by interacting one molecule of
8 the compound with one to five moles of a non-toxic pharma-
I'~ ceutically acceptable acid. In the present invention, non-
2~ toxic acids include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid,
21 hydrobromic acid, hydriodic Rcid~ sulfuric acid, phosphoric
22 acid, carbonic acid, etc. and organic acids such as acetic
'3 acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, mandelic acid,
'1 tartaric acid, ascorbic acid, etc.
2S Although the foregoing method accomplishes the
26 object of the invention, it has been found that by selectively
27 blocking the other free amino groups of XK-62-2, the yield of
28 the compound of the invention can be enhanced.
29 ~mong the amino groups possessed by XK-62-2, the amino
;~ group bonded to the carbon atom at the l-position is less re-
3l active than those bonded to the carbon atoms at the 2'- and
-- 11 --
1046QS7
1 6'-positions. As contemplated by the invention, an enhanced
yield of l-N-(a-hydroxy-~-aminopropionyl) XK-62-2 can be
3 obtained by protecting the amino groups bonded to the carbon
~ atoms at the 2'- and/or 6'-positions prior to the introduction
S of the -hydroxy-~-substituted aminopropionyl group to the amino
6 group bonded to the carbon atom at the l-position as follows:
7 A. Protection of the amino groups bonded to the carbon
atoms at the 2'- and/or 6'-positions
9 XK-62-2 is reacted with an amino-protecting reagent
in a suitable solvent to prepare at least one of: a compound
11 having a structure with the hydrogen atom of the methyl-
12 - amino group bonded to the carbon atom at the 6'-position of
13 XK-62-2 protected (intermediate compound IIA); a compound
14 having a structure with at least one of the hydrogen atoms
of the amino group bonded to the carbon atom at the 2'-
6 position of XK-62-2 protected (intermediate compound IIB);
~7 and a compound having a structure with the hydrogen atom
18 of the methylamino group bonded to the carbon atom at the
19 6'-position and one of the hydrogen atoms of the amino group
bonded to the carbon atom at the 2'-position of XK-62-2
21 protected (intermediate compc~nd IIC). Vsually, these
22 intermediate compounds are obtained as a mixture.
~ The reaction of XK-62-2 with the amino-protecting
^~ reagent is carried out under the conditions usually employed
~s in conventional methods of protecting amino groups such as
26 described above. Generally, 0.5 mole to 4.5 moles of the
27 protecting reagent is used per one mole of XK-62-2. The
28 reaction is carried out at -50C to 50C.
29 In this case, it is not desirable to use an increased
3~ amount of the protecting reagent or to carry out the reaction
31 at an elevated temperature, because, under such conditions,
1046Q57
thc protecting group is also introduced to thc amino group
~ bonded to the carbon atom at the l-position. In order to
3 selcctively protect only those amino groups bonded to the
4 carbon atoms at the 2'- and/or 6'- positions, it is recommended
to use 0.7 mole to 2.6 moles of the protecting agent per one mole
6 of XK-62-2 and to carry out the reaction at a temperature of
7 -20 to 20C.
8 The solvent for the reaction may be at least one
9 selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofuran,
dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, lower alcohols, dioxane,
ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, pyridine and/or water.
For the amino-protecting reagent, any of the protecting
3 reagents capable of introducing readily eliminable protecting
4 groups that are usually employed in peptide syntheses may be
used. Preferred protecting reagents are compounds set forth
6 in Table l above. Such protecting reagents are usuaily used
7 alone, however, the protecting reagents may, of course, be used
18 in mixture.
19 The intermediate compounds IIA, IIB and IIC of
XK-62-2 can be used for the subsequent reaction as is, without
'1 isolation and purification. ~owever, if desired, the inter-
22 mediate compounds can be isolated and purified as described
'3 ~ hereinabove.
24 B. Acylation of the amino group bonded to the carbon atom
at the l-position
26 At least one of the intermediate compounds IIA,
27 IIB and IIC prepared in the above step A is reactcd with an
28 acylating agent, i.e. -hydroxy-~-substituted aminopropionic
9 acid or derivatives thereof having the ability to acylate
3`~ in a suitable solvent to prepare at least one of an inter-
31 mediate compound IIIA having a structure with one of the
- ]3 -
1()4~iQ57
I hydrogen atoms of the amino group bonded to the carbon atom
2 at the l-position of the intermediate compound IIA substituted
3 by an ~-hydroxy-~-sutstituted aminopropionyl group; an
4 intermediate compound IIIB having a structure with one of
thle hydrogen atoms of the amino group bonded to the carbon
6 atom at the l-position of the intermediate compound IIB sub-
7 stituted by ~-hydroxy-~-substituted aminopropionyl group;
8 and an intermediate compound IIIC having a structure with
9 one of the hydrogen atoms of the amino group bonded to the
carbon atom at the l-position of the intermediate compound
11 IIC substituted by a-hydroxy-~-substituted aminopropionyl
group.
13 The acylation step and that of isolation of
14 the intermediate compounds IIIA, IIIB and IIIC can be carried
out in the same manner as described in the acylation step.I
16 of XK-62-2 above, except that 0.5-l.5 moles, preferably, 0.7-
17 1.2 moles of the acylating agent is used per one mole of the
compound IIA, IIB and IIC. When an increased amount, for
1') example, 3 moles of the acylating agent is used or where the
2~ reaction is carried out at an elevated temperature of, for
21 example, 100C, the reaction may proceed but the selectivity of
22 the position to which an a-hydroxy-~-substituted amino-
~3 propionyl group is introduced is reduced or, otherwise, the
'~ acylating agent decomposes. Consequently, the production
2s yields of the intermediate compounds IIIA, IIIB and IIIC are
26 decreased.
27 C. Elimination of the protecting group
~ Elimination of the protecting groups from the thus
Z'~ prepared compounds IIIA, IIIB and IIIC to prepare l-N-(-
hydroxy-B-aminopropionyl) XK-62-2 is carried out in the same
31 manner as described above. Moreover, conversion of the
- :l4 -
1046Q57
resulting compounds to non-toxic acid addition salts is
~ carried out by methods well known in the art.
3 The compounds obtained by elimination of the
~ protecting group from the intermediate compounds exhibit the
s same characteristics in NMR spectrum, infrared absorption
6 spectrum, melting point, specific rotation, elementary
7 analysis and MIC against various bacteria. Based on these
a data, the compounds are identified as l-N-(a-hydroxy-B-
g aminopropionyl) XK-62-2.
l-N-(a-hydroxy-B-aminopropionyl) XK-62-2 of the
11 present invention has an excellent antibacterial activity.
12 It is particularly notable that the compound has a strong
13 antibacterial activity against strains of Escherichia coli
having R factors which show resistance to known aminoglycoside
antibiotics.
6 Table 2 illustrates the antibacterial spectrum of
17 kanamycin A, gentamicin Cla, XK-62-2 and l-N-(a-hydroxy-B-
8 aminopropionyl) XK-62-2 against various Gram-negative and
1q Gram-positive bacteria determined by agar-dilution method
at pH 8Ø
21 From a comparison cf the minimum inhibitory con-
22 centration shown in Table 2, it is apparent that the present
'1 compound has a strong antibacterial activity. Characteristi-
'~ cally, the compound shows a strong antibacterial activity
particularly against Escherichia coli KY 8327 and 8348.

1 In the above table, Escherichia coli KY 8327 and
2 KY 8348 respectively produce gentamicin adenyltransferase
3 and gentamicin acetyltransferase Type I intracellularly.
~ The former bacterium inactivates kanamycins and gentamicins
by adenylation, and the latter inactivates gentamicins by
6 acetylation. It will be appreclated that the compound of the
7 present invention is not inactivated by the above-mentioned
8 anzymes and, therefore, is very effective against such bacteria.
~) Practice of certain specific embodiments of the
present invention is illustrated by the following represen-
11 tative examples.

2'-N-carbobenzoxy XK-62-2 and 2'-N,
14 6'-N-dicarbobenzoxy XK-62-2
In this example, 4.00 g (8.65 mmoles) of XK-62-2 is
6 dissolved in 92 ml of aqueous 50% dimethylformamide. To the
17 solution is added dropwise a solution of 3.23 g (12.9 mmoles)
13 of N-benzyloxycarbonyloxysuccinimide in 70 ml of dimethyl-
1" formamide with stirring while maintaining the temperature at
0C to 5C. The addition is complete in 3 hours. The mix-
21 ture is allowed to stand ~ at 0C to 5C overnight. By silica
2~ gel thin layer chromatography (developer : isopropanol :
23 concentrated aqueous ammonia : chloroform = 4:l:l, color
reagent : ninhydrin), the presence of unreacted XK-62-2 in
~5 addition to 6'-N-carbobenzoxy XK-62-2 (Rf : 0.71), 2'-N-
2h carbobenzoxy XK-62-2 (Rf : 0.62) and 2'-N, 6'-dicarbobenzoxy

the resulting residue are added 70 ml of water and 50 ml of
7 ethyl acetate and the resulting mixture is stirred vigorously.
~ The mixture is then allowed to stand to separate into two
4 layers (water layer and ethylacetate layer). The water
layer is extracted twice with 30 ml of ethylacetate. The
