Studies on the formation of porphyrinogens from monopyrroles in presence of the enzymes PBG deaminase and/or Uro’gen III synthase
摘要:
The substrate-specificities of two enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway to vitamin B-12, PBG deaminase and Uro'gen III synthase, which are involved in the formation of Uro'gen III from the pyrrole PBG, are investigated for the preparation of Uroporphyrin analogs. Both enzymes display strong substrate-specificity. However, tetramerization of pyrroles with carboxylate beta-substituents in mildly basic buffer represents the best and most rapid route to a family of Uro I analogs for enzymatic activity studies.

α-Difluoromethyl pyrroles were found to be stable while N-protected with an electron-withdrawing group. Due to the propensity of pyrroles to access azafulvenium-like intermediates, the C–F bonds of an α-difluoromethyl substituent are labile under hydrolytic conditions. The presence of certain electron-withdrawing substituents about the pyrrolic ring can accelerate this process, as determined through
