Process for preparing pravastatin sodium

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing pravastatin sodium. More specifically, in the process for preparing pravastatin sodium by adding a precursor of the pravastatin to a microorganism-culturing medium to obtain pravastatin sodium, the precursor of the pravastatin is added to a culture medium that is culturing Streptomyces carbophilus KBT229 (KCCM-10317), which is obtained by UV-mutating a Streptomyces carbophilus FERM BP-1145, and cultured to obtain the pravastatin sodium with high density and high efficiency.
