The present invention relates to a process for producing a xanthine derivative represented by formula (II), comprising converting a xanthine derivative represented by formula (I) hereinafter, referred to as Compound (I)}:
(wherein R¹ and R² independently represent hydrogen, or hydroxy-substituted, oxo-substituted, or unsubstituted lower alkyl) into a xanthine derivative represented by formula (II) hereinafter, referred to as Compound (II)}:
(wherein R³ and R⁴ independently represent hydrogen, or hydroxy-substituted, oxo-substituted, or unsubstituted lower alkyl; R⁵ and R⁶ independently represent hydrogen, hydroxy, or oxo; with the proviso that R⁵ and R⁶ are both hydrogen, at least one of R³ and R⁴ is hydroxy-substituted or oxo-substituted lower alkyl; and X and Y both represent hydrogen or are combined with each other to form a single bond) in the presence of an enzyme source for catalyzing hydroxylation or carbonylation of Compound (I) into Compound (II), and collecting the produced Compound (II).
本发明涉及一种生产式(II)代表的黄嘌呤衍生物的工艺,包括将式(I)代表的黄嘌呤衍生物以下简称化合物(I)}进行转化:
(其中R¹和R²独立地代表氢,或羟基取代的、氧代取代的或未取代的低级烷基)转化为式(II)代表的黄嘌呤衍生物以下简称化合物(II)}:
(其中 R³ 和 R⁴ 独立地代表氢,或羟基取代、氧代取代或未取代的低级烷基;R⁵ 和 R⁶ 独立地代表氢、羟基或氧代;但 R⁵ 和 R⁶ 都是氢,R³ 和 R⁴ 中至少有一个是羟基取代或氧代取代的低级烷基;以及 X 和 Y 均代表氢或彼此结合形成单键),在酶源存在下催化化合物 (I) 的羟基化或羰基化转化为化合物 (II),并收集生成的化合物 (II)。
