Artemisinin is one of the most potent anti-malaria drugs and many often-lengthy routes have been developed for its synthesis. Amorphadiene synthase, a key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin, is able to convert an oxygenated farnesyl diphosphate analogue directly to dihydroartemisinic aldehyde, which can be converted to artemisinin in only four chemical steps, resulting in an efficient synthetic route to the anti-malaria drug.

A molecular rotational resonance (MRR) spectrometer designed to monitor the product composition of an asymmetric continuous flow reaction online is presented. The MRR technique is highly sensitive to small changes in molecular structure and, as such, is capable of rapidly quantifying isomers as well as other impurities in a complex mixture, without chromatographic separation or chemometrics. The spectrometer in this study operates by automatically drawing a portion of the reaction solution into a reservoir, volatizing it by heating, and measuring the highly resolved MRR spectra of each of the components of interest in order to determine their relative quantity in the mixture. The reaction under study was the hydrogenation of artemisinic acid, an intermediate step in the semisynthesis of the antimalarial drug artemisinin. Four analytes were characterized in each measurement: the starting material, the product, a diastereomer of the product, and an overreduction byproduct that was not directly quantifiable by either HPLC or NMR methods. The MRR instrument has a measurement cycle time of approximately 17 min for this analysis and can run for several hours without any user interaction.

Artemisinin from the plant Artemisia annua is the most potent pharmaceutical for the treatment of malaria. In the plant, the sesquiterpene cyclase amorphadiene synthase, a cytochrome-dependent CYP450, and an aldehyde reductase convert farnesyl diphosphate (FDP) into dihydroartemisinic aldehyde (DHAAl), which is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of artemisinin and a semisynthetic precursor for its chemical synthesis. Here, we report a chemoenzymatic process that is able to deliver DHAAl using only the sesquiterpene synthase from a carefully designed hydroxylated FDP derivative. This process, which reverses the natural order of cyclization of FDP and oxidation of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, provides a significant improvement in the synthesis of DHAAl and demonstrates the potential of substrate engineering in the terpene synthase mediated synthesis of high-value natural products.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of various α-substituted acrylic acids was carried out using RuPHOX-Ru as a chiral catalyst under 5 bar H2, affording the corresponding chiral α-substituted propanic acids in up to 99% yield and 99.9% ee. The reaction could be performed on a gram-scale with a relatively low catalyst loading (up to 5000 S/C), and the resulting product (97%, 99.3% ee) can be used as a key intermediate to construct bioactive chiral molecules. The asymmetric protocol was successfully applied to an asymmetric synthesis of dihydroartemisinic acid, a key intermediate required for the industrial synthesis of the antimalarial drug artemisinin.
