Transketolase and fructose-1,6-bis-phosphate aldolase, complementary tools for access to new ulosonic acid analogues
摘要:
A new approach to the synthesis of ulosonic acids KDO and DAH is described. The key step is the C-5-C-6 bond formation catalysed by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (for KDO) or transketolase (for DAH) using substituted acrylonitrile alpha-hydroxyaldehyde. All asymmetric carbon configurations are determined in an enzymatic step by the means of deshydrogenase or lipase. This strategy, using a non-metabolism pathway, allows access to novel precursors of KDO, DAH and analogues. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
