- Simultaneous Preparation of (S)-2-Aminobutane and d -Alanine or d -Homoalanine via Biocatalytic Transamination at High Substrate Concentration
-
(S)-2-Aminobutane, d-alanine, and d-homoalanine are important intermediates for the production of various active pharmaceutical ingredients and food additives. The preparation of these small chiral amine or amino acids with high water solubility still demands searching for efficient methods. In this work, we identified an ω-transaminase (ω-TA) from Sinirhodobacter hungdaonensis (ShdTA) that catalyzed the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutane at a concentration of 800 mM using pyruvate as the amino acceptor, leading to the simultaneous isolation of enantiopure (S)-2-aminobutane and d-alanine in 46% and 90% yield, respectively. In addition, (S)-2-aminobutane (98% ee) and d-homoalanine (99% ee) were isolated in 45% and 93% yield, respectively, in the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-aminobutane at a concentration of 400 mM coupled with deamination of l-threonine by threonine deaminase. We thus developed a biocatalytic process for the practical synthesis of these valuable small chiral amine and d-amino acids.

- Ancistrobrevines E-J and related naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids from the West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus with inhibitory activities against Plasmodium falciparum and PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells
-
From the roots of the West African liana Ancistrocladus abbreviatus (Ancistrocladaceae), ten new naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids (7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, and 9–14), displaying three different coupling types (5,1′, 5,8′, and 7,8′), were isolated, among them a series of five 5,1′-linked representatives and four metabolites belonging to the rare group of 7,8′-coupled alkaloids. Two of the alkaloids, the ancistrobrevines I (13) and J (14), are only the fourth and fifth examples of 7,8′-linked naphthyldihydroisoquinolines ever found in nature. The stereostructures of the new plant metabolites were determined by spectroscopic, chemical (oxidative degradation), and chiroptical (electronic circular dichroism) methods. For the assignment of the axial configuration of 13 and 14 relative to the stereocenter at C-3, which is too far away for significant NOE long-range interactions, these 7,8′-coupled naphthyldihydroisoquinolines were stereoselectively converted into the respective cis-configured tetrahydroisoquinoline analogs. The newly generated ‘auxiliary’ stereocenter at C-1 permitted decisive NOE interactions between the isoquinoline and the naphthalene parts, and thus a reliable attribution of the axial configuration of 13 and 14. In addition, five known compounds (3, 5, 16, 17, and 20), previously discovered in related African and Asian Ancistrocladus species, have now for the first time been identified in A. abbreviatus. All of these alkaloids are S-configured at C-3 and bear an oxygen function at C-6, and are, thus, typical Ancistrocladaceae-type compounds. Some of the alkaloids of A. abbreviatus exhibited promising activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells.

- Cyclombandakamines A1 and A2, Oxygen-Bridged Naphthylisoquinoline Dimers from a Congolese Ancistrocladus Liana
-
Cyclombandakamines A1 (1) and A2 (2), both with an unprecedented pyrane-cyclohexenone-dihydrofuran sequence and six stereocenters and two chiral axes, are the first oxygen-bridged dimeric naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. They were isolated from the leaves of an as yet unidentified Congolese Ancistrocladus species. Their stereostructures were established by spectroscopic, chemical, and chiroptical methods in combination with DFT and TDDFT calculations. They apparently originate from a cascade of oxidative cyclization reactions of open-chain naphthylisoquinoline dimers and exhibit significant antiprotozoal activities.

- METHOD FOR OBTAINING OPTICALLY PURE AMINO ACIDS
-
This invention relates to a method for obtaining optically pure amino acids, including optical resolution and optical conversion. This method significantly shortens the time taken for optical transformation, and enables the repeated use of an organic solution containing a enantioselective receptor, to thereby obtain optically pure amino acids in a simple and remarkably efficient manner, and to enable the very economical mass production of optically pure amino acids.

- Formation and hydrolysis of amide bonds by lipase A from Candida antarctica; Exceptional features
-
Various commercial lyophilized and immobilized preparations of lipase A from Candida antarctica (CAL-A) were studied for their ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of amide bonds in N-acylated α-amino acids, 3-butanamidobutanoic acid (β-amino acid) and its ethyl ester. The activity toward amide bonds is highly untypical of lipases, despite the close mechanistic analogy to amidases which normally catalyze the corresponding reactions. Most CAL-A preparations cleaved amide bonds of various substrates with high enantioselectivity, although high variations in substrate selectivity and catalytic rates were detected. The possible role of contaminant protein species on the hydrolytic activity toward these bonds was studied by fractionation and analysis of the commercial lyophilized preparation of CAL-A (Cat#ICR-112, Codexis). In addition to minor impurities, two equally abundant proteins were detected, migrating on SDS-PAGE a few kDa apart around the calculated size of CAL-A. Based on peptide fragment analysis and sequence comparison both bands shared substantial sequence coverage with CAL-A. However, peptides at the C-terminal end constituting a motile domain described as an active-site flap were not identified in the smaller fragment. Separated gel filtration fractions of the two forms of CAL-A both catalyzed the amide bond hydrolysis of ethyl 3-butanamidobutanoate as well as the N-acylation of methyl pipecolinate. Hydrolytic activity towards N-acetylmethionine was, however, solely confined to the fractions containing the truncated form of CAL-A. These fractions were also found to contain a trace enzyme impurity identified in sequence analysis as a serine carboxypeptidase. The possible role of catalytic impurities versus the function of CAL-A in amide bond hydrolysis is further discussed in the paper. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2010.

- Dioncophylline E from Dioncophyllum thollonii, the first 7,3′-coupled dioncophyllaceous naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid
-
The isolation and structural elucidation of dioncophylline E, a novel naphthylisoquinoline alkaloid from the rare West African liana Dioncophyllwn thollonii, is described. The alkaloid displays an unusual 7,3′-linkage between the naphthalene and the isoquinoline portions. Due to the resulting medium degree of steric hindrance exerted by the ortho-substituents next to the biaryl axis, the compound undergoes slow rotation about the axis at room temperature and thus is the first such alkaloid that occurs as a mixture of two configurationally semi-stable atropo-diastereomers. Dioncophylline E exhibits good antimalarial activity against both chloroquine-sensitive and -resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum while its antitrypanosomal activity against Trypanosoma cruzi is weak and that against T. brucei rhodesiense is moderate. Furthermore, four additional naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids previously known from the related plant species Triphyophyllum peltatum, have been identified in D. thollonii.
