Facile and regioselective enzymatic 5′-galactosylation of pyrimidine 2′-deoxynucleosides catalyzed by β-glycosidase from bovine liver
摘要:
A regioselective enzymatic approach to 5'-O-galactosylated derivatives of pyrimidine 2'-deoxynucleosides was described. With o-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactoside as glycosyl donor, galactosylation reactions of 2'-deoxynucleosides were mediated by a commercial beta-galactosidase from bovine liver, affording 5'-O-galactosylated derivatives with the yields of 45-85% and 5'-regioselectivities of 92-100%. The study of enzyme substrate recognition revealed that the beta-galactosidase performance showed a clear dependence on R-group present in the base moiety of 2'-deoxynucleoside. Besides, such desirable products were synthesized with satisfactory yields (41-68%) and moderate to high 5'-regioselectivities (87-100%) by using the crude enzyme extract. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
