Substrate spectrum assay exhibited that PvEH1, which is an epoxide hydrolase from P. vulgaris, had the highest specific activity and enantiomeric ratio (E) for racemic o-methylphenyl glycidyl ether (rac-1) among tested aryl glycidyl ethers (1–5). To produce (R)-1 via kinetic resolution of rac-1 efficiently, the catalytic properties of PvEH1 were further improved on the basis of rational design. Firstly, the seven single-site variants of PvEH1-encoding gene (pveh1) were PCR-amplified as designed, and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). Among all expressed single-site mutants, PvEH1L105I and PvEH1V106I had the highest specific activities of 17.6 and 16.4 U/mg protein, respectively, while PvEH1L196D had an enhanced E value of 9.2. Secondly, to combine their respective merits, one triple-site variant, pveh1L105I/V106I/L196D, was also amplified, and expressed. The specific activity, E value, and catalytic efficiency of PvEH1L105I/V106I/L196D were 23.1 U/mg, 10.9, and 6.65 mM?1 s?1, respectively, which were 2.0-, 1.8- and 2.4-fold higher than those of wild-type PvEH1. The source of PvEH1L105I/V106I/L196D with enhanced E value for rac-1 was preliminarily analyzed by molecular docking simulation. Finally, the scale-up kinetic resolution of 100 mM rac-1 was conducted using 5 mg wet cells/mL E. coli/pveh1L105I/V106I/L196D at 25 °C for 1.5 h, producing (R)-1 with 95.0% ees, 32.1% yield and 3.52 g/L/h space-time yield.

The solubility of the chiral drug bevantolol hydrochloride 1 in water and the azeotropic mixture ethanol-water has been investigated. It was found that rac-1 meets the requirements of Meyerhoffer's rule, so it was possible to reduce the ternary diagram, describing the solubility of 1, to a pseudo binary form, which facilitates the analysis of crystallization processes caused by temperature changes. On this basis, the effective and robust resolution procedure of racemic bevantolol hydrochloride by a preferential crystallization approach has been realized successfully.

A gene encoding halohydrin dehalogenase from an alphaproteobacterium (AbHHDH) was identified, cloned and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. AbHHDH was able to catalyze the stereoselective dehalogenation of prochiral and racemic halohydrins. It showed the highest enantioselectivity in the dehalogenation of 20?mM (R,S)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol, which yielded (S)-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol with 99% ee and 34.5% yield. Moreover, AbHHDH catalyzed the azidolysis of epoxides with low to moderate (S)-enantioselectivity. The highest enantioselectivity (E = 18.6) was observed when (R,S)-benzyl glycidyl ether was used as the substrate. A sequential kinetic resolution catalyzed by HHDH was employed for the synthesis of chiral 1-chloro-3-phenoxy-2-propanol. We prepared enantiopure (S)-isomer with a high enantiopurity of ee > 99% and a yield of 30.7% (E-value: 21.3) by kinetic resolution of 20?mM substrate. The (S)-isomer with 99% ee readily obtained from 40 to 150?mM (R,S)-1-chloro-3-phenoxy-2-propanol. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate the applicability of this HHDH for the production of optically active compounds. [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Microtuning of the enzyme active pocket has led to a smart library of epoxide hydrolase variants with an expanded substrate spectrum covering a series of typical β-blocker precursors. Improved activities of 6- to 430-fold were achieved by redesigning the active site at two predicted hot spots. This study represents a breakthrough in protein engineering of epoxide hydrolases and resulted in enhanced activity toward bulky substrates.

A series of chiral polymeric Co(iii)-salen complexes based on a number of achiral and chiral linkers were synthesized and their catalytic performances were assessed in the asymmetric hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides. The effects of the linker were judiciously studied and it was found that in the case of the chiral BINOL-based polymeric salen complex 1, there was an enrichment in catalyst reactivity and enantioselectivity of the unreacted epoxide, particularly in the case of short as well as long chain aliphatic epoxides. Good isolated yields of the unreacted epoxide (up to 46% compared to 50% theoretical yield) along with high enantioselectivity (up to 99%) were obtained in most cases using catalyst 1. Further studies showed that catalyst 1 could retain its catalytic activity for six cycles under the present reaction conditions without any significant loss in activity or enantioselectivity. To show the practical applicability of the above synthesized catalyst we have synthesised some potent chiral β-blockers in moderate yield and high enantioselectivity using complex 1. The DFT (M06-L/6-31+G??//ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G?:STO-3G)) calculations revealed that the chiral BINOL linker influences the enantioselectivity achieved with Co(iii)-salen complexes. Further, the transition state calculations show that the R-BINOL linker with the (S,S)-Co(iii)-salen complex is energetically preferred over the corresponding S-BINOL linker with the (S,S)-Co(iii)-salen complex for the HKR of 1,2-epoxyhexane. The role of non-covalent C-H?π interactions and steric effects has been discussed to control the HKR reaction of 1,2-epoxyhexane.

A novel epoxide hydrolase (BMEH) with unusual (R)-enantioselectivity and very high activity was cloned from Bacillus megaterium ECU1001. Highest enantioselectivities (E>200) were achieved in the bioresolution of ortho-substituted phenyl glycidyl ethers and para-nitrostyrene oxide. Worthy of note is that the substrate structure remarkably affected the enantioselectivities of the enzyme, as a reversed (S)-enantiopreference was unexpectedly observed for the ortho-nitrophenyl glycidyl ether. As a proof-of-concept, five enantiopure epoxides (>99% ee) were obtained in high yields, and a gram-scale preparation of (S)-ortho-methylphenyl glycidyl ether was then successfully performed within a few hours, indicating that BMEH is an attractive biocatalyst for the efficient preparation of optically active epoxides.

The phenyl glycidyl ether derivatives have been kinetically resolved with the growing cells of Bacillus alcalophilus MTCC10234 yielding (S)-epoxides with up to >99% ee and (R)-diols with up to 89% ee. The enantiomeric ratio (E) of up to 67 has been obtained for biohydrolysis process. The effect of different substituents of phenyl glycidyl ether on the biocatalytic efficiency of B. alcalophilus MTCC10234 showed preference for methyl- and chloro-substituted aryl glycidyl ether derivatives whereas nitro-derivatives were transformed at a slower rate. 2,6-Dimethylphenyl glycidyl ether which contains a bulky aryl group having methyl group on both the ortho positions was resolved with an E=39.
Facile radiosynthesis of fluorine-18 labeled β-blockers. Synthesis, radiolabeling, and ex vivo biodistribution of [18F]-(2S and 2R)-1-(1-fluoropropan-2-ylamino)-3-(m-tolyloxy)propan-2-ol

An efficient and general method has been developed for fluorine-18 labeling of β-blockers that possess the propanolamine moiety. A new synthetically versatile intermediate, 3-(1-(benzyloxy)propan-2-yl)-2-oxooxazolidin-5-yl)methyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (13), was prepared and can be conjugated to any phenoxy core. To demonstrate the synthetic methodology, fluorinated derivatives of toliprolol were prepared, namely, [18F]-(2S and 2R)-1-(1-fluoropropan-2-ylamino)-3-(m-tolyloxy)propan-2-ol ((2S and 2R)-[ 18F]1). The radiosyntheses were accomplished in 96% radiochemical and >99% enantiomeric purities, with specific activities of 0.9-1.1 Ci/μmol (EOS). Ex vivo biodistribution studies with the radiotracers demonstrated excessively rapid washout that may limit their use for cerebral PET imaging.

The easily prepared complexes exhibited very high catalytic reactivity and enantioselectivity in hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic terminal epoxides and consequently provided enantiomerically enriched epoxides (up to 99% ee).

The inactive chiral (salen)Co complex is easily activated by InCl 3 and TlCl3 Lewis acids by forming heterometallic salen complexes. These complexes show very high catalytic activity for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched terminal epoxides (>99% ee) and 1,2-diols simultaneously via hydrolytic kinetic resolution. Strong synergistic effects of different Lewis acids, Co-In and Co-Tl, were exhibited in the catalytic process. The system described is very simple and efficient.
