Highly enantioselective deracemization of 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol and its derivatives by stereoinversion using Candida albicans in a one-pot process
摘要:
A very simple methodology was developed to transform racemic 1-(4-substitutedphenyl)-1,2-ethanediols using resting cells of Candida albicans CCT 0776 through a one-pot two-step process in which the (R)-stereoisomer was completely oxidized to the corresponding substituted-alpha-hydroxyacetophenones, which were completely reduced to produce (S)-1-(4-substitutedphenyl)-1,2-ethanediols in good isolated yield (60-85%) and with high enantiomeric excess (99% ee). The overall process corresponded to an enantioselective deracemization by stereoinversion of the (R)-enantiomer. The process was not achieved for other similar 1,2-diols using the same reaction conditions, which indicates a structural restriction of substrates by the active pocket of the enzymes of C. albicans involved in the stereoinversion process.

Synthesis of 5-chloro-N-aryl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives as inhibitors of human liver glycogen phosphorylase a
A series of 5-chloro-N-aryl-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of humanliverglycogenphosphorylase a (hLGPa). One compound, 5-chloro-N-[4-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)phenyl]-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (2f), inhibited hLGPa with an IC(50) of 0.90microM. The pyridine analogue of 2f showed inhibitory activity of glucagon-induced glucose output in cultured primary hepatocytes
