The possibility of using Lecitase® Ultra as a novel alternative biocatalyst for the kinetic resolution of model racemic allyl esters of (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-3-ol: Acetate (4a) and propionate (4b) through their enantioselective hydrolysis was investigated. Reaction afforded (+)-(R)-alcohol (3) and unreacted (−)-(S)-ester (4a or 4b). Hydrolysis of propionate 4b proceeded with higher enantioselectivity than acetate 4a. (R)-Alcohol (3) with highest enantiomeric excess (93–99%) was obtained at 20–30 °C by hydrolysis of propionate 4b, while the highest optical purity of unreacted substrate was observed for (S)-acetate 4a (ee = 34–56%). The highest enantioselectivity was found for the hydrolysis of propionate 4b catalyzed at 30 °C (E = 38). Reaction carried out at 40 °C significantly lowered enantiomeric excess of produced alcohol 3 and enantioselectivity in resolution. Lecitase® Ultra catalyzed the enantioselective hydrolysis of allyl esters 4a,b according to Kazlauskas’ rule to produce (R)-alcohol 3 and can find application as a novel biocatalyst in the processes of kinetic resolution of racemic allyl esters.

A yeast strain CGMCC 0574, identified as Trichosporon brassicae, was selected from 92 strains for its high (S) selectivity in the hydrolysis of ketoprofen ethyl ester. The effective strains of the microorganisms were isolated from soil samples with the ester as the sole carbon source. The ethyl ester proved to be the best substrate for resolution of ketoprofen among several ketoprofen esters examined. The resting cells of CGMCC 0574 could catalyze the hydrolysis of ketoprofen ethyl ester with an enantiomeric ratio of 44.9, giving (S)-ketoprofen an enantiomeric excess of 91.5% at 42% conversion.Key words: ketoprofen, biocatalytic resolution, enantioselective hydrolysis, microbial esterase, Trichosporon brassicae.

ABSTRACTA novel nonheme chloroperoxidase (RhEst1), with promiscuous esterase activity for enantioselective hydrolysis of ethyl (S)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, was identified from a shotgun library ofRhodococcussp. strain ECU1013.RhEst1 was overexpressed inEscherichia coliBL21(DE3), purified to homogeneity, and functionally characterized. Fingerprinting analysis revealed thatRhEst1 preferspara-nitrophenyl (pNP) esters of short-chain acyl groups.pNP esters with a cyclic acyl moiety, especially that with a cyclobutanyl group, were also substrates forRhEst1. TheKmvalues for methyl 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (DmCpCm) and ethyl 2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylate (DmCpCe) were 0.25 and 0.43 mM, respectively.RhEst1 could serve as an efficient hydrolase for the bioproduction of optically pure (S)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane carboxylic acid (DmCpCa), which is an important chiral building block for cilastatin. As much as 0.5 M DmCpCe was enantioselectively hydrolyzed into (S)-DmCpCa, with a molar yield of 47.8% and an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 97.5%, indicating an extremely high enantioselectivity (E= 240) of this novel and unique biocatalyst for green manufacturing of highly valuable chiral chemicals.

Enantiopure Epoxides

Enantiopure epoxides are versatile synthetic intermediates for producing optically active pharmaceuticals. In an effort to provide more options for the preparation of enantiopure epoxides, a variant of the epoxide hydrolase (vEH-Am) gene from a marine microorganism Agromyces mediolanus was synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombiant vEH-Am displayed a molecular weight of 43 kDa and showed high stability with a half-life of 51.1 h at 30 °C. The purified vEH-Am exhibited high enantioselectivity towards styrene oxide (SO) and benzyl glycidyl ether (BGE). The vEH-Am preferentially converted (S)-SO, leaving (R)-SO with the enantiomeric excess (ee) >99%. However, (R)-BGE was preferentially hydrolyzed by vEH-Am, resulting in (S)-BGE with >99% ee. To investigate the origin of regioselectivity, the interactions between vEH-Am and enantiomers of SO and BGE were analyzed by molecular docking simulation. In addition, it was observed that the yields of (R)-SO and (S)-BGE decreased with the increase of substrate concentrations. The yield of (R)-SO was significantly increased by adding 2% (v/v) Tween-20 or intermittent supplementation of the substrate. To our knowledge, vEH-Am displayed the highest enantioselectivity for the kinetic resolution of racemic BGE among the known EHs, suggesting promising applications of vEH-Am in the preparation of optically active BGE.

The main objective of this study is the enantioselective synthesis of carboxyhydroxyphosphonates by lipase-catalyzed reactions. For this purpose, racemic dimethyl and dibutyl 1-butyryloxy-1-carboxymethylphosphonates were synthesized and hydrolyzed, using a wide spectrum of commercially available lipases from different sources (e.g., fungi and bacteria). The best hydrolysis results of dimethyl 1-butyryloxy-1-carboxymethylphosphonate were obtained with the use of lipases from Candida rugosa, Candida antarctica, and Aspergillus niger, leading to optically active dimethyl 1-carboxy-1-hydroxymethylphosphonate (58%–98% enantiomeric excess) with high enantiomeric ratio (reaching up to 126). However, in the case of hydrolysis of dibutyl 1-butyryloxy-1-carboxymethylphosphonate, the best results were obtained by lipases from Burkholderia cepacia and Termomyces lanuginosus, leading to optically active dibutyl 1-carboxy-1-hydroxymethylphosphonate (66%–68% enantiomeric excess) with moderate enantiomeric ratio (reaching up to 8.6). The absolute configuration of the products after biotransformation was also determined. In most cases, lipases hydrolyzed (R) enantiomers of both compounds.
