Imine reductases catalyse the reductive amination of aldehydes or ketones with amines to produce chiral amines—a key transformation in the preparation of fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Although significant progress has been recently made in the field, their industrial application has not been demonstrated. Herein, we describe a wild-type imine reductase that was engineered to
亚胺还原酶催化醛或酮与胺的还原胺化反应,生成手性胺,这是精细化学品和活性药物成分制备中的关键转变。尽管最近在该领域已经取得了重大进展,但是尚未证明它们的工业应用。在本文中,我们描述了一种野生型亚胺还原酶,该酶经工程改造后可进行还原胺化反应,并伴随底物胺拆分,从而为赖氨酸特异性脱甲基酶-1抑制剂GSK2879552提供与商业相关的生产工艺。三轮进化导致酶变体显示出比野生型提高了> 38,000倍。更稳定和活性更高的酶变体的工程设计使工艺得以优化,从而达到经济,高质量和可持续的操作空间。
