Aromatic ketones, beta-keto esters, and simple aliphatic ketones were reduced with excellent selectivity to the corresponding (S)-alcohols by using the acetone powder of Geotrichum candidum. This method is superior in reactivity and stereoselectivity to reduction by the whole-cell. The experimental conditions for the reduction system such as ratio of the biocatalyst to the substrate, kinds of coenzymes, alcohol for coenzyme regeneration, and buffer, pH, and reaction temperature were investigated, and stability and preservability of the biocatalyst were also examined. This method is very convenient for the synthesis of optically pure alcohols on a gram scale.

Practical Application of Recombinant Whole-Cell Biocatalysts for the Manufacturing of Pharmaceutical Intermediates Such as Chiral Alcohols
We have developed efficient biocatalytic processes for the preparation of chiral alcohols, such as (R)-1,3-butanediol, ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hyroxybutanoate, ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hyroxybutanoate, (S)-5-chloro-2-pentanol, (R)-5-chloro-2-pentanol, and (S)-cyclopropylethanol by stereospecific enzymatic oxidoreduction on a practical level. These chiral alcohols are very important synthons for the synthesis of various pharmaceutical intermediates that lead to antibiotics and inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase. Here, we present practical applications on biocatalysis using novel recombinant whole-cell biocatalysts that catalyzed enantioselective oxidation and asymmetric reduction with a coenzyme regeneration system.

A new alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. strain PED has been isolated and characterized. The enzyme exhibits a broad substrate specificity, accepting aromatic, cyclic, and aliphatic compounds as substrates. The K(m) values were determined as 525-mu-M for NAD and 75-mu-M for 2-propanol with a specific activity of 36 U/mg. The kinetic mechanism is ordered bi-bi with the cofactor binding first and releasing last. The enzyme transfers the pro-R hydride of NADH to the si face of carbonyl compounds to yield (R) alcohols. Synthetic-scale reductions of a number of representative compounds were carried out in high enantiomeric excess with in situ regeneration of NADH using 2-propanol as the hydride source and the same enzyme as catalyst.
