Heteropoly acid catalyzed cyclization of nerolidol and farnesol: Synthesis of α-bisabolol

, p. 271 - 275 (2015/07/07)
Heteropoly acid H3PW12O40 is an active and environmentally friendly homogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of α-bisabolol, a high-priced and highly demanded ingredient for the fragrance, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, starting from more abundant biomass-based sesquiterpenic alcohols. The solvent nature remarkably affects the reaction pathways and product selectivity. In acetone solutions, α-bisabolol can be obtained in 55-60% GC yields from nerolidol and 60-70% GC yields from farnesol at complete substrate conversions, which are probably the best results ever reported for these reactions. α-Bisabolol synthesized by this method contains no farnesol, which is a potentially allergenic compound and should be avoided in the commercially used α-bisabolol. This advantage is especially important because the distillative separation of α-bisabolol and farnesol is a troublesome task. The catalyst shows high turnover numbers and operates under mild nearly ambient conditions.

3-Hydroxyhexobarbital dehydrogenase (3HBD) catalyzes NAD(P) +-linked oxidation of 3-hydroxyhexobarbital into 3-oxohexobarbital. The enzyme has been thought to act as a dehydrogenase for xenobiotic alcohols and some hydroxysteroids, but its physiological function remains unknown. We have purified rabbit 3HBD, isolated its cDNA, and examined its specificity for coenzymes and substrates, reaction directionality and tissue distribution. 3HBD is a member (AKR1C29) of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily, and exhibited high preference for NADP(H) over NAD(H) at a physiological pH of 7.4. In the NADPH-linked reduction, 3HBD showed broad substrate specificity for a variety of quinones, ketones and aldehydes, including 3-, 17- and 20-ketosteroids and prostaglandin D2, which were converted to 3α-, 17β- and 20α-hydroxysteroids and 9α,11β- prostaglandin F2, respectively. Especially, α-diketones (such as isatin and diacetyl) and lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes (such as 4-oxo- and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenals) were excellent substrates showing low Km values (0.1-5.9 μM). In 3HBD-overexpressed cells, 3-oxohexobarbital and 5β-androstan-3α-ol-17-one were metabolized into 3-hydroxyhexobarbital and 5β-androstane-3α,17β-diol, respectively, but the reverse reactions did not proceed. The overexpression of the enzyme in the cells decreased the cytotoxicity of 4-oxo-2-nonenal. The mRNA for 3HBD was ubiquitously expressed in rabbit tissues. The results suggest that 3HBD is an NADPH-preferring reductase, and plays roles in the metabolisms of steroids, prostaglandin D2, carbohydrates and xenobiotics, as well as a defense system, protecting against reactive carbonyl compounds.

The Rv3377c and Rv3378c genes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis are specifically found in the virulent Mycobacterium species, but not in the avirulent species. The Rv3378c-encoded enzyme produced tuberculosinol 2 (5(6), 13(14)-halimadiene-15-ol), 13R-5a and 13Sisotuberculosinol 5b (5(6), 14(15)-halimadiene-13-ol) as its enzymatic products from tuberculosinyl diphosphate 3, indicating that the Rv3378c enzyme catalyzed the nucleophilic addition of a water molecule after the release of a diphosphate moiety. The three enzymatic products 2, 5a, and 5b were produced irrespective of the N- and C-terminal His-tagged Rv3378c enzymes, and of the maltose-binding protein fusion enzyme; the product distribution ratio was identical between the enzymes as 1:1 for 2:5, and 1:3 for 5a:5b. The successful separation of 5a and 5b by a chiral HPLC column provided the first complete assignments of 1H- and 13C-NMR data for 5a and 5b. The enzymatic mechanism for producing 2, 5a, and 5b is proposed here, and the optimal catalytic conditions and kinetic parameters, in addition to the divalent metal effects, are described. Site-directed mutagenesis of Asp into Asn, targeted at the DDXXD motif, resulted in significantly decreased enzymatic activity.

A recent rat genomic sequencing predicts a gene Akr1b10 that encodes a protein with 83% sequence similarity to human aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1B10. In this study, we isolated the cDNA for the rat AKR1B10 (R1B10) from rat brain, and examined the enzymatic properties of the recombinant protein. R1B10 utilized NADPH as the preferable coenzyme, and reduced various aldehydes (including cytotoxic 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and 4-hydroxy- and 4-oxo-2-nonenals) and α-dicarbonyl compounds (such as methylglyoxal and 3-deoxyglucosone), showing low Km values of 0.8-6.1μM and 3.7-67μM, respectively. The enzyme also reduced glyceraldehyde and tetroses (Km=96-390μM), although hexoses and pentoses were inactive and poor substrates, respectively. Among the substrates, 4-oxo-2-nonenal was most efficiently reduced into 4-oxo-2-nonenol, and its cytotoxicity against bovine endothelial cells was decreased by the overexpression of R1B10. R1B10 showed low sensitivity to aldose reductase inhibitors, and was activated to approximately two folds by valproic acid, and alicyclic and aromatic carboxylic acids. The mRNA for R1B10 was expressed highly in rat brain and heart, and at low levels in other rat tissues and skin fibroblasts. The results suggest that R1B10 functions as a defense system against oxidative stress and glycation in rat tissues.
