- Modular Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of GE81112 B1 and Related Analogues Enables Elucidation of Its Key Pharmacophores
-
The GE81112 complex has garnered much interest due to its broad antimicrobial properties and unique ability to inhibit bacterial translation initiation. Herein we report the use of a chemoenzymatic strategy to complete the first total synthesis of GE81112 B1. By pairing iron and α-ketoglutarate dependent hydroxylases found in GE81112 biosynthesis with traditional synthetic methodology, we were able to access the natural product in 11 steps (longest linear sequence). Following this strategy, 10 GE81112 B1 analogues were synthesized, allowing for identification of its key pharmacophores. A key feature of our medicinal chemistry effort is the incorporation of additional biocatalytic hydroxylations in modular analogue synthesis to rapidly enable exploration of relevant chemical space.

- Discovery of New Fe(II)/α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenases for Oxidation of l-Proline
-
Genome mining for novel Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (αKGDs) to expand the enzymatic repertoire in the oxidation of l-proline is reported. Through clustering of proteins, we predicted regio- and stereoselectivity in the hydroxylation reaction and validated this hypothesis experimentally. Two novel byproducts in the reactions with enzymes from Bacillus cereus and Streptomyces sp. were isolated, and the structures were determined to be a 3,4-epoxide and a 3,4-diol, respectively. The mechanism for the formation of the epoxide was investigated by performing an 18O-labeling experiment. We propose that the mechanism proceeds via initial cis-3-hydroxylation followed by ring closure. A biocatalytic step was run on subgram quantities of starting material without any significant optimization of the conditions. However, the substrate concentration was 40-fold higher than the usual reported titers for recombinant P450-mediated hydroxylations, showing the synthetic potential of αKGDs on a preparative scale.

- Studies on the selectivity of proline hydroxylases reveal new substrates including bicycles
-
Studies on the substrate selectivity of recombinant ferrous-iron- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent proline hydroxylases (PHs) reveal that they can catalyse the production of dihydroxylated 5-, 6-, and 7-membered ring products, and can accept bicyclic substrates. Ring-substituted substrate analogues (such hydroxylated and fluorinated prolines) are accepted in some cases. The results highlight the considerable, as yet largely untapped, potential for amino acid hydroxylases and other 2OG oxygenases in biocatalysis.

- Preparation method of cis-3-hydroxyl-L-proline
-
The invention provides a preparation method of cis-3-hydroxyl-L-proline. The preparation method comprises the following steps of using the industrially produced L-serine as the starting raw material,introducing a second chiral center into the nucleophilic addition reaction of aldehyde via an ortho chiral induction format, and separating the product and an isomer by a column separating method; constructing an intermediate of which the carbon number is the same with the carbon number of a target product through the hydroxyl protection and the hydroboration-oxidizing reaction, constructing a five-elemental ring of the proline via the cyclization reaction in molecules, and removing the protective radicals, so as to obtain the cis-3-hydroxyl-L-proline. The cis-3-hydroxyl-L-proline prepared bythe preparation method has the advantages that the chemical purity and optical purity are high; the whole technology is simple and is easy to implement, the cost is low, the expensive or hypertoxic raw material or reagent is not used, and the cis-3-hydroxyl-L-proline is suitable for kilogram-level production; the higher implementing value and social and economic benefits are realized.

- Regio- and stereoselective oxygenation of proline derivatives by using microbial 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases
-
We evaluated the substrate specificities of four proline cis-selective hydroxylases toward the efficient synthesis of proline derivatives. In an initial evaluation, 15 proline-related compounds were investigated as substrates. In addition to L-proline and L-pipecolinic acid, we found that 3,4-dehydro-L-proline, L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, cis-3-hydroxy-L-proline, and L-thioproline were also oxygenated. Subsequently, the product structures were determined, revealing cis-3,4-epoxy-L-proline, cis-3-hydroxy-L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, and 2,3-cis-3,4-cis-3,4-dihydroxy-L-proline.

- Tertiary alcohol preferred: Hydroxylation of trans-3-methyl-L-proline with proline hydroxylases
-
The enzymatic synthesis of tertiary alcohols by the stereospecific oxidation of tertiary alkyl centers is a most-straightforward but challenging approach, since these positions are sterically hindered. In contrast to P450-monooxygenases, there is little known about the potential of non-heme iron(II) oxygenases to catalyze such reactions. We have studied the hydroxylation of trans-3-methyl-Lproline with the a-ketoglutarate (α-KG) dependent oxygenases, cis-3-proline hydroxylase type II and cis-4-proline hydroxylase (cis-P3H-II and cis-P4H). With cis-P3H-II, the tertiary alcohol product (3R)-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-L-proline was obtained exclusively but in reduced yield (~7%) compared to the native substrate L-proline. For cis-P4H, a complete shift in regioselectivity from C-4 to C-3 was observed so that the same product as with cis-P3H-II was obtained. Moreover, the yields were at least as good as in control reactions with L-proline (~110% relative yield). This result demonstrates a remarkable potential of non-heme iron(II) oxygenases to oxidize substrates selectively at sterically hindered positions. 10.3762/bjoc.7.193.

- A simple procedure for selective hydroxylation of L -proline and l -pipecolic acid with recombinantly expressed proline hydroxylases
-
Due to their diverse regio- and stereoselectivities, proline hydroxylases provide a straightforward access to hydroxprolines and other hydroxylated cylic amino acids, valuable chiral building blocks for chemical synthesis, which are often not available at reasonable expense by classical chemical synthesis. As yet, the application of proline hydroxylases is limited to a sophisticated industrial process for the production of two hydroxyproline isomers. This is mainly due to difficulties in their heterologues expression, their limited in vitro stability and complex product purification procedures. Here we describe a facile method for the production of cis-3-, cis-4- and trans-4-proline hydroxylase, and their application for the regio- and stereoselective hydroxylation of L-proline and its six-membered ring homologue l-pipecolic acid. Since in vitro catalysis with these enzymes is not very efficient and conversions are restricted to the milligram scale, an in vivo procedure was established, which allowed a quantitative conversion of 6 mM l-proline in shake flask cultures. After facile product purification via ion exchange chromatography, hydroxyprolines were isolated in yields of 35-61% (175-305 mg per flask). L-Pipecolic acid was converted with the isolated enzymes to prove the selectivities of the reactions. In transformations with optimized iron(II) concentration, conversions of 17-68% to hydroxylated products were achieved. The regio- and stereochemistry of the products was determined by NMR techniques. To demonstrate the applicability of the preparative in vivo approach for non-physiological substrates, L-pipecolic acid was converted with an E. coli strain producing trans-4-proline hydroxylase to trans-5-hydroxy-L-pipecolic acid in 61% yield. Thus, a synthetically valuable group of biocatalysts was made readily accessible for application in the laboratory without a need for special equipment or considerable development effort.

- Total synthesis of natural cis-3-hydroxy-l-proline from d-glucose
-
Synthesis of cis-3-hydroxy-l-proline from d-glucose is reported. The methodology involves conversion of d-glucose into N-benzyloxycarbonyl-γ- alkenyl amine which on 5-endo-trig-aminomercuration gave the pyrrolidine ring skeleton with sugar appendage in 25% yield. Alternatively, N-benzyloxycarbonyl- γ-alkenyl amine on hydroboration-oxidation, mesylation and intramolecular SN2 cyclisation afforded pyrrolidine ring compound in high yield. Hydrolysis of 1,2-acetonide functionality, NaIO4 cleavage followed by oxidation of an aldehyde into acid and hydrogenolysis afforded cis-3-hydroxy-l-proline in overall 29% yield from d-glucose.

The differential oxidation of five and six-membered endocyclic enecarbamates was investigated employing m-CPBA, DMD, as well as enantioselectivc protocols such as the Kochi-Jacobsen-Katsuki's epoxidation and the Sharpless dihydroxylation. By this strategy the syntheses of β- hydroxyprolines and β-hydroxypipecolic acids were accomplished, X-Ray crystallographic analysis of the trans-β-hydroxypipecolic acid was instrumental to solve structural assignment conflicts.

- Cyclothialidine analogs, novel DNA gyrase inhibitors
-
DNA gyrase inhibitors, cyclothialidines B, C, D and E were isolated from four Streptomycete strains (NR 0659, NR 0660, NR 0661 and NR 0662). Their structures have been elucidated based on the amino acid analysis of the hydrolysates, NMR and HRFAB-MS experiments and shown to be cyclothialidine analogs. The absolute stereochemistry has been determined by the chiral HPLC analysis of the hydrolysates. Cyclothialidines B, D and E are novel and potent inhibitors of DNA gyrase.

-
A total synthesis of cyclothialidine (1), a new DNA gyrase inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces filipinensis, is described The synthetic concept was tested by preparing the lactone 13 (Scheme 2) which contains the characteristic bicyclic core entity of 1. Key features of the synthesis of 1 are: preparation of 3,5-dihydroxy-2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid (23) from 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (19) by two consecutive Mannich aminomethylation/hydrogenation sequences; benzylic N-bromosuccinimide bromination of an ester derivative 25 thereof and its subsequent coupling with Boc-Ser-Cys-OMe (11); cyclization of the ω-hydroxy acid 29 to the 12-membered lactone 30 using preferably Mitsunobu conditions; completion of the peptidic side chains of 1 using Boc strategy (Scheme 4) Optically pure cis-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-hydroxy-L-proline ((-)-14) was obtained by resolution of the racemate via an efficient reaction sequence containing a lipase-catalyzed enantiospecific acetate hydrolysis (Scheme 3). The structure of natural 1 was confirmed by comparison with the synthetic material. The synthetic route described provides also easy access to analogues of 1, e.g., via the intermediate 30.
