Enantiomerically Pure 3-Aryl- and 3-Hetaryl-2-hydroxypropanoic Acids by Chemoenzymatic Reduction of 2-Oxo Acids
摘要:
Phenyllactic acids are found in numerous natural products as well as in active substances used in medicine or plant protection. Enantiomerically pure phenyllactic acids are available by transition-metal-catalyzed hydrogenations or chemoenzymatic reductions of the corresponding 3-aryl-2-oxopropanoic acids. We show here that d-lactate dehydrogenase from Staphylococcus epidermidis reduces a broad spectrum of 2-oxo acids, which are difficult substrates for transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, with excellent enantioselectivities in a simple experimental setup.

antibacterial agents against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE). Leadcompound 38 showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 8 and 4 μg/mL against MRSA and MRSE, respectively. Furthermore, compound 38 displayed a MIC of 8–16 μg/mL against linezolid-resistant MRSA. These molecules, previously underexplored as antibacterial agents, serve as a
