Mevastatin (compactin, ML-236B)




Mevastatin2DCSD.svg
Mevastatin (compactin, ML-236B) is a hypolipidemic agent that belongs to the statins class.
It was isolated from the mold Penicillium citrinum by Akira Endo in the 1970s, and he identified it as a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor,[1] i.e., a statin. Mevastatin might be considered the first statin drug;[2] clinical trials on mevastatin were performed in the late 1970s in Japan, but it was never marketed.[3] The first statin drug available to the general public was lovastatin.
In vitro, it has antiproliferative properties.[4]
A British group isolated the same compound from Penicillium brevicompactum, named it compactin, and published their results in 1976.[5] The British group mentions antifungal properties with no mention of HMG-CoA reductase inhibition.
High doses inhibit growth and proliferation of melanoma cells.[6]

The present invention
http://www.google.com/patents/US6204032
is related to a new method for producing ML-236B, a precursor of pravastatin sodium, in particular to a method for producing ML-236B lactone form(I), free acid form (II), and sodium salt(III) shown in the following formulae by using a new microorganism isolated from soil. ML-236B is obtained from the culture broth of this microorganism and it is used as a substrate of pravastatin sodium which is a potent cholesterol-lowering agent used in treatment for hypercholesterolemia.

2. Description of the Prior Art
It has been known that heart disease such as myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis have been caused mainly by hyperlipidemia, especially hypercholesterolemia. It was reported by U.S. Pat. No. 3,983,140 and UK. Patent No. 1,453,425 that a cholesterol-lowering compound called ML-236B produced by a fungus Penicillium sp. had been discovered. ML-236B is produced by soil microorganisms or chemical conversion. It was reported that Penicillium brevicompactin, Penicilmyces sp., Trichoderma longibraiatum, Trichoderma pseudokoningi, Hyphomyces chrisopomus and Penicillium citrium produced ML-236B(David et al., “Biotechnology of filamentous fungi”, p241; JP Publication No. Pyung 4-349034).
Particularly, Sankyo Pharmaceutical Company, Japan, had developed Penicillium citrium SANK 18767 by mutation of a strain Penicillium citrium NRRL-8082 which was reported in 1971. By continuing strain development for 14 years, they had obtained Penicillium citrium Thom SANK 13380. ML-236B productivity had risen from 1.75 mg/l to 42.5 mg/l.
However, the method above described required so much time about 14 years to develop a strain with high ML-236B productivity. It also needed a little long cultivation time, 14 days, and showed relatively low ML-236B productivity.
culturing, in a culture medium, Gliocladium sp. YJ-9515 having the accession number KCTC 0252 BP; and
recovering said at least one compound of ML-236B; wherein the compound of formula I is the lactone form of ML-236B represented by

wherein the compound of formula II is the free acid form of ML-236B represented by

and
wherein the compound of formula III is the sodium salt form of ML-236B represented by

By using a new microorganism which was obtained from this invention, the productivity of pravastatin precursor was elevated highly and the pravastatin precursor could be prepared in a simple way in short time.
Therefore, the present invention could be used effectively in production of pravastatin precursor.
