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.

Rauter M, Nietz D, Kunze G. Cutinase ACut2 from Blastobotrysraffinosifermentans for the Selective Desymmetrization of the Symmetric Diester Diethyl Adipate to the Monoester Monoethyl Adipate. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10071316. [PMID: 35889035 PMCID: PMC9325033 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10071316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Monoethyl adipate (MEA) is a highly valuable monoester for activating resistance mechanisms and improving protective effects in pathogen-attacked plants. The cutinase ACut2 from the non-conventional yeast Blastobotrys (Arxula) raffinosifermentans (adeninivorans) was used for its synthesis by the desymmetrization of dicarboxylic acid diester diethyl adipate (DEA). Up to 78% MEA with 19% diacid adipic acid (AA) as by-product could be synthesized by the unpurified ACut2 culture supernatant from the B. raffinosifermentans overexpression strain. By adjusting pH and enzyme concentration, the selectivity of the free ACut2 culture supernatant was increased, yielding 95% MEA with 5% AA. Selectivity of the carrier immobilized ACut2 culture supernatant was also improved by pH adjustment during immobilization, as well as carrier enzyme loading, ultimately yielding 93% MEA with an even lower AA concentration of 3–4%. Thus, optimizations enabled the selective hydrolysis of DEA into MEA with only a minor AA impurity. In the up-scaling, a maximum of 98% chemical and 87.8% isolated MEA yield were obtained by the adsorbed enzyme preparation with a space time yield of 2.6 g L−1 h−1. The high monoester yields establish the ACut2-catalyzed biosynthesis as an alternative to existing methods.

Abstract
Background Global resource depletion poses a dramatic threat to our society and creates a strong demand for alternative resources that do not compete with the production of food. Meeting this challenge requires a thorough rethinking of all steps of the value chain regarding their sustainability resource demand and the possibility to substitute current, petrol-based supply-chains with renewable resources. This regards also the production of catalysts for chemical synthesis. Phototrophic microorganisms have attracted considerable attention as a biomanufacturing platform for the sustainable production of chemicals and biofuels. They allow the direct utilization of carbon dioxide and do not compete with food production. Photosynthetic enzyme production of catalysts would be a sustainable supply of these important components of the biotechnological and chemical industries. This paper focuses on the usefulness of recombinant cyanobacteria for the photosynthetic expression of enantioselective catalysts. As a proof of concept, we used the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for the heterologous expression of two highly enantioselective enzymes. Results We investigated the expression yield and the usefulness of cyanobacterial cell extracts for conducting stereoselective reactions. The cyanobacterial enzyme expression achieved protein yields of 3% of total soluble protein (%TSP) while the expression in E. coli yielded 6-8% TSP. Cell-free extracts from a recombinant strain expressing the recombinant esterase ST0071 from the thermophilic organism Sulfolobus tokodai ST0071 and arylmalonate decarboxylase from Bordetella bronchiseptica showed excellent enantioselectivity (>99% ee) and yield (>91%) in the desymmetrisation of prochiral malonates. Conclusions We were able to present the proof-of-concept of photoautotrophic enzyme expression as a viable alternative to heterotrophic expression hosts. Our results show that the introduction of foreign genes is straightforward. Cell components from Synechocystis did not interfere with the stereoselective transformations, underlining the usability of photoautotrophic organisms for the production of enzymes. Given the considerable commercial value of recombinant biocatalysts, cyanobacterial enzyme expression has thus the potential to complement existing approaches to use phototrophic organisms for the production of chemicals and biofuels.

Abstract
Non-lypolitic esterases are carboxylester hydrolases with preference for the hydrolysis of water-soluble esters bearing short-chain acyl residues. The potential of esterases as enantioselective biocatalysts has enlarged in the last few years due to the progresses achieved in different areas, such as screening methodologies, overproduction of recombinant esterases, structural information useful for understanding the rational behind enantioselectivity, and efficient methods in protein engineering. Contributions of these complementary know-hows to the development of new robust enantioselective esterases are critically discussed in this review.
