Efficient biosynthesis of Vibegron intermediate using a novel carbonyl reductase based on molecular modification of hydrogen bonding network regulation. Bioorg Chem 2023; 140:106788. [PMID: 37598433 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106788] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
Vibegron is a novel, potent, highly selective β3-adrenergic receptor agonist for the treatment of overactive bladder with higher therapeutic capacity and lower side effects. Methyl(2S,3R)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanoate ((2S,3R)-aminohydroxy ester) is a key chiral intermediate for the synthesis of Vibegron. A novel carbonyl reductase from Exiguobacterium sp. s126 (EaSDR6) was isolated using data mining technology from GenBank database with preferable catalytic activity. Hydrogen bond network regulation was performed using site-directed saturation mutagenesis and combination mutagenesis. The mutant EaSDR6A138L/S193A was obtained with the activity improvement by 4.58 folds compared with the wild type EaSDR6. The Km of EaSDR6A138L/S193A was decreased from 1.57 mM to 0.67 mM, kcat was increased by 2.17 folds, and the overall catalytic efficiency kcat/Km was increased by 5.07 folds. The organic-aqueous biphasic bioreaction system for the asymmetric synthesis of (2S,3R)-aminohydroxy ester was constructed for the first time. Under the substrate concentration of 150 g/L, the yield of (2S,3R)-aminohydroxy ester was > 99.99%, the e.e. was > 99.99%, and the spatiotemporal yield was 1.55 g/(L·h·g DCW) after 12 h reaction. While the substrate concentration was increased to 200 g/L and the reaction lasted for 36 h, the yield of (2S,3R)-aminohydroxy ester was > 99.99%, the e.e. was > 99.99% and the spatiotemporal yield was 1.05 g/(L·h·g DCW). The substrate concentration and spatiotemporal yield were higher than ever reported.

Abstract
The proportion of approved chiral drugs and drug candidates under medical studies has surged dramatically over the past two decades. As a consequence, the efficient synthesis of enantiopure pharmaceuticals or their synthetic intermediates poses a profound challenge to medicinal and process chemists. The significant advancement in asymmetric catalysis has provided an effective and reliable solution to this challenge. The successful application of transition metal catalysis, organocatalysis, and biocatalysis to the medicinal and pharmaceutical industries has promoted drug discovery by efficient and precise preparation of enantio-enriched therapeutic agents, and facilitated the industrial production of active pharmaceutical ingredient in an economic and environmentally friendly fashion. The present review summarizes the most recent applications (2008-2022) of asymmetric catalysis in the pharmaceutical industry ranging from process scales to pilot and industrial levels. It also showcases the latest achievements and trends in the asymmetric synthesis of therapeutic agents with state of the art technologies of asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
An efficient transition-metal-free cyclization reaction to prepare 1-pyrroline derivatives bearing various functional groups is described. In this method, a simple combination of a base and a solvent allows the cyclization reaction of terminal alkynes and 2-azaallyls to be carried out efficiently under mild and metal-free conditions. This cyclization reaction will provide an efficient method for the synthesis of medicinally relevant polysubstituted and multifunctionalized pyrrolines.

Abstract
The broad interdisciplinary nature of biocatalysis fosters innovation, as different technical fields are interconnected and synergized. A way to depict that innovation is by conducting a survey on patent activities. This paper analyses the intellectual property activities of the last five years (2014–2019) with a specific focus on biocatalysis applied to asymmetric synthesis. Furthermore, to reflect the inventive and innovative steps, only patents that were granted during that period are considered. Patent searches using several keywords (e.g., enzyme names) have been conducted by using several patent engine servers (e.g., Espacenet, SciFinder, Google Patents), with focus on granted patents during the period 2014–2019. Around 200 granted patents have been identified, covering all enzyme types. The inventive pattern focuses on the protection of novel protein sequences, as well as on new substrates. In some other cases, combined processes, multi-step enzymatic reactions, as well as process conditions are the innovative basis. Both industries and academic groups are active in patenting. As a conclusion of this survey, we can assert that biocatalysis is increasingly recognized as a useful tool for asymmetric synthesis and being considered as an innovative option to build IP and protect synthetic routes.

Abstract
We report herein the improved diastereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines from aliphatic azides. Experimental and theoretical studies of the C-H amination reaction mediated by the iron dipyrrinato complex (Ad L)FeCl(OEt2 ) provided a model for diastereoinduction and allowed for systematic variation of the catalyst to enhance selectivity. Among the iron alkoxide and aryloxide catalysts evaluated, the iron phenoxide complex exhibited superior performance towards the generation of syn 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines with high diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
The paper will describe the synthesis and SAR studies that led to the discovery of benzamide (reverse amide) as potent and selective human β3-adrenergic receptor agonist. Based on conformationally restricted pyrrolidine scaffold we discovered earlier, pyrrolidine benzoic acid intermediate 22 was synthesized. From library synthesis and further optimization efforts, several structurally diverse reverse amides such as 24c and 24i were found to have excellent human β3-adrenergic potency and good selectivity over the β1 and β2 receptors. In addition to human β1, β2, β3 and hERG data, PK of selected compounds will be described.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, the domains of both frontline synthetic organic chemistry and process chemistry and have seen an increase in crosstalk between asymmetric organic/organometallic approaches and enzymatic approaches to stereocontrolled synthesis. This review highlights the particularly auspicious role for dehydrogenase enzymes in this endeavor, with a focus on dynamic reductive kinetic resolutions (DYRKR) to "deracemize" building blocks, often setting two stereocenters in so doing. The scope and limitations of such dehydrogenase-mediated processes are overviewed, as are future possibilities for the evolution of enzymatic DYRKR.

Abstract
We report a concise, enantio- and diastereoselective route to novel nonsymmetrically substituted N-protected β,β-diaryl-α-amino acids and esters, through the asymmetric hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted olefins, some of the most challenging examples in the field. Stereoselective generation of an E- or Z-enol tosylate, when combined with stereoretentive Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and enantioselective hydrogenation catalyzed by (NBD)2RhBF4 and a Josiphos ligand, allows for full control over the two vicinal stereogenic centers. High yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) were obtained for a variety of N-acetyl, N-methoxycarbonyl, and N-Boc β,β-diaryldehydroamino acids, containing a diverse and previously unreported series of heterocyclic and aryl substituted groups (24 examples) and allowing access to all four stereoisomers of these valuable building blocks.

Abstract
Switchable tandem intramolecular aza-Michael/Michael and double aza-Michael reactions allow the oriented synthesis of highly functionalised cyclic skeletons. Conjugate addition of deactivated anilines triggers chemo- and stereo-divergent ring-closure reaction pathways with a striking selectivity depending on reaction conditions.

Abstract
A practical synthesis of a highly functionalized tetrahydropyran DPP-4 inhibitor is described. The asymmetric synthesis relies on three back-to-back Ru-catalyzed reactions. A Ru-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) reduction establishes two contiguous stereogenic centers in one operation. A unique dihydropyran ring is efficiently constructed through a preferred Ru-catalyzed cycloisomerization. Hydroboration followed by a Ru-catalyzed oxidation affords the desired functionalized pyranone core scaffold. Finally, stereoselective reductive amination and subsequent acidic deprotection afford the desired, potent DPP-4 inhibitor in 25% overall yield.
