Synthesis of novel cyano-cyclitols and their stereoselective biotransformation catalyzed by Rhodococcus erythropolis A4
摘要:
A variety of novel cyano-cyclitols possessing complex stereochemistry have been synthesized. These compounds were subjected to the biocatalyzed hydrolysis of their nitrile groups. The bacterial strain Rhodococcus erythropolis A4, expressing a nitrile hydratase/amidase bienzymatic system, was able to recognize (1R,25,35,4R)/(15,2R,3R,4.5)-1-cyano-2,3,4-trihydroxy-cyclohex-5-ene and trans-3-cyanocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol, and to catalyze their transformations into the corresponding amides and acids. The kinetic and stereochemical trends of these biotransformations, a rare example of the enantiorecognition of a rigid bulky aliphatic substrate, are discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A novel chemo-multienzymatic synthesis of bioactive cyclophellitol and epi-cyclophellitol in both enantiopure forms
摘要:
A new route to synthesize cyclophellitol and epi-cyclophellitol from racemic starting materials in enantiopure forms has been developed The synthesis involves a multi-enzymatic biotransformation pathway of the novel cyano-cyclitol (1R 4S 5R 6R)/(1S 4R 5S 6S)-4 5 6-trihydroxycyclohex-2-enecarbonitrile by a cooperative use of lipase nitrile hydratase and amidase (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
