Enzymatic Synthesis of Four Stereoisomers of 7-0xo-biopterin and Determination of the Absolute Structure of Ichthyopterin
Keyword(s):
Summary Enzymatic conversion of stereoisomers of biopterin (3a-d) to the 7-oxo-biopterin isomers (4a-d) was performed with a new pterin 7-oxidase extracted from carp skin. The chiral centers of the 6-side chains of biopterin isomers were preserved during the conversion, and the four possible stereoisomers of 7-oxo-biopterin (4a-d) were obtained from the corresponding biopterin isomers (3a-d). HPLC and CD spectra studies showed that natural ichthyopterin is 2-amino-6-(L-erythro-1',2' -dihydroxypropyl)-4, 7(3H,8H)-pteridinedione (4a) which has the same L-erythro structure at the side chain as natural biopterin (3a). This fact suggests that ichthyopterin is biologically derived from biopterin in these fishes.
