Cross-Linked Crystals of Candida rugosa Lipase: Highly Efficient Catalysts for the Resolution of Chiral Esters
摘要:
To date, most enzyme-based organic syntheses have employed enzymes in the form. of a crude protein extract. The instability and expense of highly purified proteins has all but obviated their use as catalysts for enantioselective hydrolyses. Herein, we describe the use of the major hydrolase from commercial Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) in the form of a cross-linked enzyme crystal (CLEC) for the enantioselective hydrolysis of chiral racemic esters. The enantioselectivity of CRL-CLECs in the hydrolysis of many important chiral esters is vastly superior to that of the crude CRL extract. Since the CRL-CLEC is insoluble, recoverable, and 2-3 orders of magnitude more stable than the soluble protein, the CRL-CLEC is an attractive replacement for the crude enzyme preparation. The use of this catalyst in the resolution of chiral esters 1-11 and in the preparative scale (la):and multicycle resolution (2a) of important anti-inflammatory drugs is described.

kinetic resolution of a series of acetates of arylaliphatictertiaryalcohols was studied using recombinant esterase variants from Bacillus subtilis (BS2) expressed in E. coli. Highest enantioselectivities (E>100) were achieved in the synthesis of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-phenylbut-3-yn-2-ol and three para-substituted analogues using BS2 mutant G105A. With mutant E188D only two compounds were converted with
A gene coding for an esterase (EstEH112) was isolated from metagenome originated from Korean intertidal flat sediment. The putative esterase gene encoded a 340 amino acids protein with characteristic residues of lipolytic enzymes such as a conserved pentapeptide (GXSXG), the typical catalytic S-D-H triad, and a GGG(A)X-motif in the oxyanion hole near the active site similar to the hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) family. p-Nitrophenyl butyrate was the best substrate for the enzyme among the other p-nitrophenyl esters investigated. The apparent optimal temperature and pH for EstEH112 was 35 C and at pH 8.0, respectively. EstEH112 efficiently catalyzed the hydrolysis of various large tertiary alcohol esters. These characteristics of EstEH112 make it a potential candidate for application in biocatalysis. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The title compounds were prepared by a Passerini multi-component reaction and subjected to enzymatic kinetic resolution using 40 enzymes known to be active towards esters of tertiary alcohols. This identified a protease (P]), a thermophilic esterase (PestE) and an esterase of metagenome origin (esterase 8) as the most active and enantioselective biocatalysts. After further optimization of reaction conditions, two compounds were prepared in preparative scale using esterase 8 yielding (+)-1-(tert-butylamino)-2-methyl-l-oxobutyl-2-yl acetate with 93%ee and (-)-1-(tert-butylamino)-2-trifluofo-methyl-1-oxobutyl-2-yl acetate with 47%ee.
