Biocatalytic asymmetric formation of tetrahydro-β-carbolines
摘要:
Strictosidine synthase triggers the formation of strictosidine from tryptamine and secologanin, thereby generating a carbon-catbon bond and a new stereogenic center Strictosidine contains a tetrahydro-beta-carboline moiety an important N-heterocyclic framework found in a range of natural products and synthetic pharmaceuticals Stereoselective methods to produce tetrahydro-B-carboline enantiomers are greatly valued We report that strictosidine synthase from Ophiorrhiza pumila utilizes a range of simple achiral aldehydes and substituted tryptamines to form highly enantioenriched (ee >98%) tetrahydro-beta-carbolines via a Pictet-Spengler reaction This is the first example of aldehyde substrate promiscuity in the strictosidine synthase family of enzymes and represents a first step toward developing a general biocatalytic strategy to access chiral tetrahydro-beta-carbolines (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved

beta-Carboline imine reductions mediated by Saccharomyces bayanus have been described achieving moderate to good enantiomeric excesses of the amine products. The enantiomeric excesses of the bioreduction showed a dependence on the imine substituents. Compounds presenting C-1-C-11 aliphatic substituent groups afforded amines with an (S)-configuration, whereas C-15 and higher aliphatic, and aromatic substituted B-carboline imines achieved inversion of the configuration in the final (R)-2 amine products. Based on this data, a model for the Saccharomyces reduction is proposed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
