Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process for the microbial synthesis of migalastat, specifically a process for the production of migalastat comprising culturing a microorganism under conditions such that at least one imino sugar is produced and detecting and/or isolating an imino sugar produced by said microorganism, and the microorganisms used in this process. The invention also comprises migalastat produced according to the above method and pharmaceutical compositions and uses thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the production of migalastat, said process comprising the steps of: (a) culturing a microorganism under conditions, wherein said culturing is carried out by a fermentation process chosen from the group of: batch fermentation; fed-batch fermentation; and continuous fermentation, such that migalastat is produced, and (b) detecting and/or isolating migalastat, wherein said microorganism is chosen from: Streptomyces sp BTA530 (NCIMB 42142) and Streptomyces sp mutant BTM4 (NCIMB 42358). 2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said detecting step (b) is carried out using an α-galactosidase A activity assay. 3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said microorganism is cultured in a medium comprising lactose.
