The present invention is directed to a regio- and stereoselective bioconversion of selected aliphatic dinitriles into corresponding cyanocarboxylic acids. More particularly, the present invention provides methods for the conversion of 2-isobutyl-succinonitrile into (S)-3 cyano-5-methylhexanoic acid, which is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of (S)-3(aminomethyl)-5-methylhexanoic acid (pregabalin). Pregabalin can be used for treating certain cerebral diseases, for example, in the treatment and prevention of seizure disorders, pain, and psychotic disorders.
本发明涉及选择性的区域和立体选择性的生物转化,将特定的脂肪族二腈转化为相应的腈羧酸。更具体地,本发明提供将2-异丁基琥珀腈转化为(S)-3-氰基-5-甲基己酸的方法,该化合物是(S)-3(氨甲基)-5-甲基己酸(盐酸盐)(盐酸普瑞巴林)合成中的有用中间体。盐酸普瑞巴林可用于治疗某些脑部疾病,例如治疗和预防癫痫、疼痛和精神疾患。
