Abstract
Compounds containing chiral C-N bonds play a vital role in the composition of biologically active natural products and small pharmaceutical molecules. Therefore, the development of efficient and convenient methods for synthesizing compounds containing chiral C-N bonds is a crucial area of research. Nicotinamide-dependent oxidoreductases (NDOs) emerge as promising biocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis of chiral C-N bonds due to their mild reaction conditions, exceptional stereoselectivity, high atom economy, and environmentally friendly nature. This review aims to present the structural characteristics and catalytic mechanisms of various NDOs, including imine reductases/ketimine reductases, reductive aminases, EneIRED, and amino acid dehydrogenases. Additionally, the review highlights protein engineering strategies employed to modify the stereoselectivity, substrate specificity, and cofactor preference of NDOs. Furthermore, the applications of NDOs in synthesizing essential medicinal chemicals, such as noncanonical amino acids and chiral amine compounds, are extensively examined. Finally, the review outlines future perspectives by addressing challenges and discussing the potential of utilizing NDOs to establish efficient biosynthesis platforms for C-N bond synthesis. In conclusion, NDOs provide an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly toolbox for asymmetric synthesis of C-N bonds, thus contributing significantly to the field of pharmaceutical chemical development.

Abstract
This contribution describes the development of chemoenzymatic one-pot processes, which combine an oxidative rearrangement and a biotransformation catalyzed by an imine reductase (IRED), for the synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched secondary amines, such as an aryl-substituted pyrrolidine and a benzazepine. The benefits of this chemoenzymatic one-pot approach include high overall conversions (up to >99%), high enantiomeric excesses (up to >99% ee), and a straightforward synthetic approach toward secondary amines without the need to isolate the formed intermediate. For the initial chemical reaction, namely, the oxidative rearrangement, PhI(OAc)2 in methanol is used as a non-natural reagent, whereas the enzymatic step requires only stoichiometric amounts of d-glucose along with catalytic amounts of IRED, glucose dehydrogenase (GDH), and the cofactor NADPH. This methodology, demonstrating the compatibility of a "classic" organic synthesis using a non-natural, highly reactive reagent and a subsequent biocatalytic step, can be applied for different amines as substrates, thus making this concept a versatile tool in synthetic organic chemistry in general and for enantioselective synthesis of heterocyclic secondary amines in particular.

Abstract
The first enantioselective reduction of 2-substituted cyclic imines to the corresponding amines (pyrrolidines, piperidines, and azepines) by imine reductases (IREDs) in non-conventional solvents is reported. The best results were obtained in a glycerol/phosphate buffer 1 : 1 mixture, in which heterocyclic amines were produced with full conversions (>99 %), moderate to good yields (22-84 %) and excellent S-enantioselectivities (up to >99 % ee). Remarkably, the process can be performed at a 100 mM substrate loading, which, for the model compound, means a concentration of 14.5 g L-1 . A fed-batch protocol was also developed for a convenient scale-up transformation, and one millimole of substrate 1 a was readily converted into 120 mg of enantiopure amine (S)-2 a with a remarkable 80 % overall yield. This aspect strongly contributes to making the process potentially attractive for large-scale applications in terms of economic and environmental sustainability for a good number of substrates used to produce enantiopure cyclic amines of high pharmaceutical interest.

Abstract
Imine reductases (IREDs) are important biocatalysts in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines. However, a detailed understanding of the stereocontrol mechanism of IRED remains incomplete, making the design of IRED for producing the desired amine enantiomers challenging. In this study, we investigated the stereoselective catalytic mechanism and designed an (R)-stereoselective IRED from Paenibacillus mucilaginosus (PmIR) using pharmaceutically relevant 2-aryl-substituted pyrrolines as substrates. A putative mechanism for controlling stereoselectivity was proposed based on the crucial role of electrostatic interactions in controlling iminium cation orientation and employed to achieve complete inversion of stereoselectivity in PmIR using computational design. The variant PmIR-Re (Q138M/P140M/Y187E/Q190A/D250M/R251N) exhibited opposite (S)-stereoselectivity, with >96% enantiomeric excess (ee) towards tested 2-aryl-substituted pyrrolines. Computational tools were employed to identify stabilizing mutations at the interface between the two subunits. The variant PmIR-6P (P140A/Q190S/R251N/Q217E/A257R/T277M) showed a nearly 5-fold increase in activity and a 12 °C increase in melting temperature. The PmIR-6P successfully produced (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-pyrrolidine, a key chiral pharmaceutical intermediate, at a concentration of 400 mM with an ee exceeding 99%. This study provides insight into the stereocontrol elements of IREDs and demonstrates the potential of computational design for tailored stereoselectivity and thermal stability.

Abstract
Chiral amines are pivotal building blocks for the pharmaceutical industry. Asymmetric reductive amination is one of the most efficient and atom economic methodologies for the synthesis of optically active amines. Among the various strategies available, NAD(P)H-dependent amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) and imine reductases (IREDs) are robust enzymes that are available from various sources and capable of utilizing a broad range of substrates with high activities and stereoselectivities. AmDHs and IREDs operate via similar mechanisms, both involving a carbinolamine intermediate followed by hydride transfer from the co-factor. In addition, both groups catalyze the formation of primary and secondary amines utilizing both organic and inorganic amine donors. In this review, we discuss advances in developing AmDHs and IREDs as biocatalysts and focus on evolutionary history, substrate scope and applications of the enzymes to provide an outlook on emerging industrial biotechnologies of chiral amine production.

Abstract
Nature harnesses exquisite enzymatic cascades to construct N-heterocycles and further uses these building blocks to assemble the molecules of life. Here we report an enzymatic platform to construct important chiral N-heterocyclic products, pyrrolidines and indolines, via abiological intramolecular C(sp3)-H amination of organic azides. Directed evolution of cytochrome P411 (a P450 enzyme with serine as the heme-ligating residue) yielded variant P411-PYS-5149, capable of catalyzing the insertion of alkyl nitrene into C(sp3)-H bonds to build pyrrolidine derivatives with good enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency. Further evolution of activity on aryl azide substrates yielded variant P411-INS-5151 that catalyzes intramolecular C(sp3)-H amination to afford chiral indolines. In addition, we show that these enzymatic aminations can be coupled with a P411-based carbene transferase or a tryptophan synthase to generate an α-amino lactone or a noncanonical amino acid, respectively, underscoring the power of new-to-nature biocatalysis in complexity-building chemical synthesis.

Abstract
In this study, engineered imine reductases (IREDs) of IRED M5, originally from Actinoalloteichus hymeniacidonis, were obtained through structure-guided semi-rational design. By focusing on mutagenesis of the residues that directly interact with the ketone donor moiety, we identified two residues W234 and F260, playing essential roles in enhancing and reversing the stereoselectivity, respectively. Moreover, two completely enantio-complementary variants S241L/F260N (R-selectivity up to 99%) and I149D/W234I (S-selectivity up to 99%) were achieved. Both variants showed excellent stereoselectivity toward the tested substrates, offering valuable biocatalysts for synthesizing pyrrolidinamines. Its application was demonstrated in a short synthesis of the key intermediates of potential drug molecules leniolisib and JAK1 inhibitor 4, from cheap and commercially available pro-chiral N-Boc-piperidone 1 (2 and 3 steps, respectively).

Abstract
While chiral fused-ring tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and tetrahydro-β-carboline (THβC) scaffolds have attracted considerable interest due to their wide spectrum of biological activities, the synthesis of optically pure chiral fused-ring THIQs and THβCs remains a challenging task. Herein, a group of active imine reductases were identified to convert the imine precursors into the corresponding enantiocomplementary fused-ring THIQs and THβCs with high enantioselectivity and conversion, establishing an efficient and green chemoenzymatic approach to fused-ring alkaloids from 2-arylethylamines.

Abstract
Enzyme cascades are a powerful technology to develop environmentally friendly and cost-effective synthetic processes to manufacture drugs, as they couple different biotransformations in sequential reactions to synthesize the product. These biocatalytic tools can address two key parameters for the pharmaceutical industry: an improved selectivity of synthetic reactions and a reduction of potential hazards by using biocompatible catalysts, which can be produced from sustainable sources, which are biodegradable and, generally, non-toxic. Here we outline a broad variety of enzyme cascades used either in vivo (whole cells) or in vitro (purified enzymes) to specifically target pharmaceutically relevant molecules, from simple building blocks to complex drugs. We also discuss the advantages and requirements of multistep enzyme cascades and their combination with chemical catalysts through a series of reported examples. Finally, we examine the efficiency of enzyme cascades and how they can be further improved by enzyme engineering, process intensification in flow reactors and/or enzyme immobilization to meet all the industrial requirements.

Abstract
Four diastereomers belonging to the family of casuarines, including casuarine (1), 6-epi-casuarine (2), 7-epi-casuarine (13) and 6,7-diepi-casuarine (14), have been synthesized from D-arabinose-derived cyclic nitrone 7 and nitrone-derived aldehyde 4 by a stereocomplementary strategy. Glycosidase inhibition comparison showed that 6-epi-casuarine (2) exhibits enhanced inhibition of trehalase (IC50 = 9.7 μM) and 6,7-diepi-casuarine (14) leads to specific inhibition of trehalase.

Abstract
An efficient preparation of (R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidine ((R)-1) from the racemate based on a recycle process of resolution/racemization was described. In the process, the desired (R)-1 was obtained by resolution with D-malic acid in 95% EtOH. Meanwhile, the undesired (S)-1 could be racemized in the presence of potassium hydroxide in DMSO. After three times of recycle process, the desired freebase (R)-1 was obtained in a yield of 61.7% with excellent ee (98.4%).

Abstract
The β-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase from Thermocrinus albus (Ta-βHAD), which catalyzes the NADP+ -dependent oxidation of β-hydroxyacids, was engineered to accept imines as substrates. The catalytic activity of the proton-donor variant K189D was further increased by the introduction of two nonpolar flanking residues (N192 L, N193 L). Engineering the putative alternative proton donor (D258S) and the gate-keeping residue (F250 A) led to a switched substrate specificity as compared to the single and triple variants. The two most active Ta-βHAD variants were applied to biocatalytic asymmetric reductions of imines at elevated temperatures and enabled enhanced product formation at a reaction temperature of 50 °C.
