Abstract
The present invention provides for the first time an expeditious method to separate polyene macrolide antibiotics into their major components, through a general preparatory procedure employing high pressure liquid chromatography. The procedure allows for the first time a useable preparatory method for separating the polyene macrolide complexes derived from fermentation and cultivation of various organisms, into their major components. Substantially pure dermostatic A and dermostatic B can now be achieved as well as substantially pure mycoticin A and mycoticin B.
Claims2
A high pressure liquid chromatography method for producing substantially pure dermostatin A and dermostatin B comprising dissolving dermostatin complex in dimethylsulfoxide at a concentration from about 1 to about 100 mg of dermostatin per milliliter of dimethylsulfoxide;
- injecting the solution into a suitable separation column, using an isocratic solvent system of methanol and water as the mobile phase at a flow rate of from about 10 to about 20 ml per minute;
- detecting the absorption of the effluent at 390 nm and as a fraction having absorption at 390 nm is detected, recovering said fraction;
- combining the fractions with identical retention times;
- concentrating the combined fractions;
- and recovering the resultant precipitate.
A high pressure liquid chromatography method for producing substantially pure mycoticin A and mycoticin B comprising dissolving mycoticin complex in a methanol-water mixture;
- injecting the solution into a suitable separation column, using a system of methanol and water as the mobile phase at a flow rate of from about 10 to about 20 ml per minute;
- detecting the absorption of the effluent at about 300 nm and as a fraction having absorption at about 300 nm is detected, recovering said fraction;
- combining the fractions with identical retention times;
- concentrating the combined fractions;
- and recovering the resultant precipitate.
