- Substrate screening of amino transaminase for the synthesis of a sitagliptin intermediate
-
We reported herein a new enzymatic route to synthesize a sitagliptin intermediate using an aminotransferase. Substrate profile indicated that hydroxyethyl-3-oxo-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate, among 11 analogs, showed the best biocatalytic performance, partially due to its best solubility in the enzymatic system. The corresponding amino esters showing strong product inhibition on the reaction, were inclined to autohydrolyze, thus driving the reaction forward, which indicated the contribution of the rapid hydrolysis of hydroxyethyl ester to the biocatalytic performance. The reaction was performed at 100?mM with 82% conversion in 24?h. The amino ester product was further transformed to Boc-(R)-3-amino-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butyric acid, the key intermediate of sitagliptin.

- PROCESS FOR PREPARING R-BETA-AMINO PHENYLBUTYRIC ACID DERIVATIVES
-
Disclosed is a process for preparing single enantiomers of beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which affords the desired compounds having special optical configuration. The process comprises a step of chemical synthesis and a step of resolving the optical isomers of beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives with a resolving agent. The resolving step comprises reacting the optical isomers with resolving agents, such as di-para-toluoyl-L-tartaric acid and di-para-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid. The obtained R-beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives (I) have high optical purity, and the total yield of the accumulative resolution of the laevo and the dextro isomer is up to above 70%.

- A PROCESS FOR PREPARING R-BETA-AMINO PHENYLBUTYRIC ACID DERIVATIVES
-
Disclosed is a process for preparing chiral pharmaceutical intermediates of R-beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which affords the desired object compounds having special optical configuration by chemosynthesis process comprising resolving the optical isomer mixtures of beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives with resolving agent. This process comprises the resolving step of salification in alcoholic solvent or aquesous solution of alcohol with resolving agent of di-para-toluoyl-L-tartaric acid and di-para-toluoyl-D-tartaric acid. The obtained R-beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives (I) have high optical purity, and the total yield of the accumulative resolution of the laevo and the dextro isomer is up to above 70%. The R-beta-amino phenylbutyric acid derivatives (I) produced by this process can be better used in synthesizing medicament.

- Improved enzymatic syntheses of valuable β-arylalkyl-β-amino acid enantiomers
-
The enantioselective (E~ 200) Burkholderia cepacia-catalysed hydrolyses of β-amino esters with H2O (0.5 equiv.) in t-BuOMe or in i-Pr2O at 45 °C are described. The enantiomers of biologically relevant β-arylalkyl-substituted β-amino acids, and especially (R)-3-amino-3-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoic acid, the intermediate of the new antidiabetic drug sitagliptine, were prepared with high enantiomeric excesses (ee≥96%) and in good yields (≥42%).
