>500) to give (1S,2S,3S)-2a in an enantiomerically pure state. Several chemical steps of transformation from the enzyme reaction product gave (2R,3R,4R)-DHMEQ (1a) without any loss of stereochemical purity. Moreover, we newly found that (2R,3R,4R)-DHMEQ activated Nrf2, which is a transcription factor that induces the expression of multiple antioxidant enzymes. It activated Nrf2 in a promoter reporter assay
Dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicnomicin(DHMEQ,1a)是NF-κB的特异有效抑制剂,目前正被开发为抗炎和抗癌药。尽管以前通过脂肪酶催化的对映选择性拆分只能从外消旋物中获得(2S,3S,4S)形式,但在本研究中,通过以下方法建立了生产(2R,3R,4R)形式的新途径使用化学酶学方法。(1R *,2R *,3R *)-2,3-环氧-5-N-[(2-羟基苯甲酰基)氨基] -4,4-二甲氧基环己基-5-烯-1-醇(2a)在两者上均被己酰化仲和酚羟基,并进行伯克霍尔德酒原脂酶的水解。反应以高度对映选择性的方式进行(E> 500),得到对映体纯态的(1S,2S,3S)-2a。从酶反应产物转化的几个化学步骤得到了(2R,3R,4R)-DHMEQ(1a),而没有任何立体化学纯度的损失。此外,我们新发现(2R,3R,4R)-DHMEQ激活了Nrf2,Nrf2是诱导多种抗氧
