Process Development on the Enantioselective Enzymatic Hydrolysis of S-Ethyl 2-Ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate
摘要:
A novel biocatalytic approach for the large-scale production of S-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid S-1 from its racemic ethylester rac-2 by enantioselective hydrolysis has been developed. S-1 is an important building block in the synthesis of PPARalpha and -gamma agonists such as Ragaglitazar [NNC 61-0029 ((-)DRF2725)]. The development history comprises enzyme screening, biocatalyst and process optimization, and scale-up to pilot plant. The project was thereby highly interdisciplinary by combining biotechnology and chemistry technologies. The final process was successfully run on a 44-kg pilot scale in 43-48% yields and with high enantiomeric purities (98.4-99.6% ee).

The present invention relates to a process comprising hydrolysis or trans esterification of one of the two enantiomeric forms of a racemic or enantiomerically enriched ester of formula I or IV by a higher rate than the other by an enzyme to give an ester and a acid (III) or two different esters (V) and (VI) with different R groups both with increased enantiomeric purity and a esterification process of a racemic or enantiomerically enriched acid (VII) by an enzyme to give an ester and an acid both with increased enantiomeric purity.
An esterase isolated from
Aspergillus oryzae
is capable of stereoselective hydrolysis of chiral esters and also has arylesterase activity (EC 3.1.1.2) and feruloyl esterase activity (EC 3.1.1.73). The esterase has only a limited homology to known amino acid sequences.
