Enantio-differentiating hydrogenation of alkyl 3-oxobutanoates over tartaric acid-modified Ni catalyst: Enthalpy-entropy compensation effect as a tool for elucidating mechanistic features
摘要:
The enantio-differentiating hydrogenations of a series of alkyl 3-oxobutanoates were carried out at the temperatures ranging from 333 to 393 K over the (R,R)-tartaric acid-modified Ni catalyst prepared from commercially available Ni powder to achieve high enantiomeric excesses of 91-94%. It was demonstrated that the enantio-selectivity was not a simple function of the reaction temperature, being enhanced in the low temperature region to reach a maximum at 363-373 K and then decreased at higher temperatures. Nevertheless, all the differential enthalpies and entropies of activation calculated from the enantiomer ratios in the low and high temperature regions compensated with each other, indicating the same enantio-differentiation mechanism over the entire temperature range. A plausible enantio-differentiation mechanism explaining the effects of hydrogenation temperature on the enantio-selectivity is proposed.

The scope and limitation of a bottom-fermentation yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae IFO 0565) toward the reduction of 3-oxoalkanoic esters were examined. The substrate specificity of this microorganism for various kinds of 3-oxoalkanoic esters was studied. This microorganism was distinct from converntional bakers’ yeast in terms of its selectivity in the reduction and its high expression of a hydrolytic enzyme. 3-Oxoalkanoic ester with an aromatic substituent, a halogen substituted 3-oxoalkanoic ester, an aliphatic longer-chain 3-oxoalkanoic ester and its α,α-difluoro analog were also accepted by this microorganism. The products are useful intermediates in the synthesis of physiologically active compounds.
Enzyme stereoselectivitycontrol is still a major challenge. To gain insight into the molecular basis of enzyme stereo‐recognition and expand the source of antiPrelog carbonyl reductase toward β‐ketoesters, rational enzyme design aiming at stereoselectivity inversion was performed. The designed variant Q139G switched the enzyme stereoselectivity toward β‐ketoesters from Prelog to antiPrelog, providing
酶的立体选择性控制仍然是主要挑战。为了深入了解酶立体识别的分子基础,并将antiPrelog羰基还原酶的来源扩展至β-酮酸酯,进行了针对立体选择性反转的合理酶设计。设计的Q139G变体将酶对β-酮酸酯的立体选择性从Prelog切换为antiPrelog,从而提供了相应的具有高对映体纯度(89.1–99.1%ee)的醇。更重要的是,在立体选择性和活性之间未找到众所周知的折衷方案。Q139G表现出比野生型酶更高的催化活性,提高了催化效率(k cat / K m)从1.1到27.1倍不等。有趣的是,突变体Q139G并未导致对芳族酮的立体选择性反转。酶-底物复合物的分析表明,β-酮酸酯的结构柔韧性和新形成的空穴共同促进了抗Prelog-首选构象的形成。相比之下,芳族酮的相对较大和刚性的结构阻止了它们形成抗Prelog优先的构象。

Described herein is the surprising discovery that ketone bodies protect cell and tissues from ionizing radiation. Based on this finding, methods of protecting animal tissue and cells from damage caused by radiation exposure are disclosed which include, contacting the tissue with a therapeutically effective amount of an agent including at least one ketone ester, thereby protecting the tissue from radiation damage. Ketone esters can be used to minimize, reduce and/or prevent tissue damage following intentional and accidental radiation exposure, as well as increasing the therapeutic efficacy of radiation therapies by protecting non-target tissue from incidental radiation damage.
The asymmetric reduction of beta-keto esters employing a wild-type strain of cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under illumination of red LED light at 25 degrees C for 24 h was evaluated. As a result, the corresponding (R)-beta-hydroxy esters were obtained as major products. The R-selectivity was shown to increase for bulkier substrates. Moreover, it was also found that the R-selectivity increased with decreasing substrate concentrations. This can be explained by the assumption that the Km value of the R-selective reductase is smaller than that of the S-selective enzyme involved in the reaction. Additionally, it was demonstrated that the R-selective reductase required the light-dependent production of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) for effective reaction; however, the S-selective variant did not. Overall, cyanobacterium was employed as a sustainable photobiocatalyst proliferating under illumination of light, while utilizing inorganic salts and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Employing the whole-cell system allowed for the preparation of industrially-important chiral compounds, such as optically active beta-hydroxy esters. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
