In 2022,Yang, Lin; Zhang, Yiping; Liu, Yan; Wang, Hualei; Wei, Dongzhi published an article in Biochemical Engineering Journal. The title of the article was 《Highly efficient synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant chiral 3-N-substituted-azacyclic alcohols using two enantiocomplementary short chain dehydrogenases》.Electric Literature of C7H12O3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Two stereocomplementary alc. dehydrogenases from Flavobacterium psychrophilum (FpADH) and Flavobacterium sp. was reported. (FsADH), which showed the potential industrial application in highly efficient synthesis of a series of enantiomerically pure 3-N-substituted-azacyclic alochols. Both the enzymes showed high catalytic activity toward the model substrate N-Boc-4-piperidone (NBPO) and presented a strict enantioselectivity for the corresponding alc. products. In addition, both enzymes showed broad substrate scope, including ketoesters, acryl ketones and heterocyclic ketones. Using glucose dehydrogenase coexpressed with each of the enzymes to realize the efficient coenzyme recycling, various pharmaceutically relevant chiral 3-N-Boc azacyclic alcs. were asym. synthesized at high substrate concentrations (343.7-643.8 g/L) and low equilvelent of NADP+ (0.1 mM) with excellent enantioselectivity (> 99.5% e.e), which have met the requirements of biocatalytic processes in the industry and demonstrated the feasibility of FpADH and FsADH for industrial application in the biotransformation of chiral 3-N-substituted-azacyclic alcs. The mol. basis of the enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency of both enzymes were revealed the by mol. docking and MD simulation anal. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of Ethyl 3-oxopentanoate(cas: 4949-44-4Electric Literature of C7H12O3)
Ethyl 3-oxopentanoate(cas: 4949-44-4) belongs to ketone compounds. They are most widely used as solvents, especially in industries manufacturing explosives, lacquers, paints, and textiles. Ketones are also used in tanning, as preservatives, and in hydraulic fluids.Electric Literature of C7H12O3
