Title:
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CYCLOPENTANECARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1998/048029
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Optically active cyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivatives (such as cystacyclin or sarkomycin) exhibiting the activity of inducing the differentiation of nerve cells can be produced through fermentation in a high yield by cultivating a cystacyclin- or sarkomycin-producing bacterium on a nutrient medium containing a mercato compound of the general formula (I) to produce a cyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivative of general formula (II) having a side chain corresponding to the mercapto compound, and isolating the cyclopentanecarboxylic acid derivative thus produced from the culture medium. HS-Y (I), (wherein Y is an optionally substituted C�1?-C�20? hydrocarbon residue having a molecular weight of 15 to 400 as the whole of the residue, provided that when the residue is cyclic, one or two heteroatoms may be contained in the cycle). Formula (II), (wherein Y is a defined above).
