A nitrilase from Hoeflea phototrophica DFL-43 (HpN) demonstrating excellent catalytic activity towards benzoylacetonitrile was identified from a nitrilase tool-box, which was developed previously in our laboratory for (R)-o-chloromandelic acid synthesis from o-chloromandelonitrile. The HpN was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified to homogeneity by nickel column affinity chromatography, and its biochemical properties were studied. The HpN was very stable at 30–40?°C, and highly active over a wide range of pH values (pH 6.0–10.0). In addition, the HpN could tolerate against several hydrophilic organic solvents. Steady-state kinetics indicated that HpN was highly active towards benzoylacetonitrile, giving a KM of 4.2?mM and a kcat of 170?s?1, the latter of which is ca. fivefold higher than the highest record reported so far. A cascade reaction for the synthesis of optically pure (S)-β-phenylalanine from benzoylacetonitrile was developed by coupling HpN with an ω-transaminase from Polaromonas sp. JS666 in toluene-water biphasic reaction system using β-alanine as an amino donor. Various (S)-β-amino acids could be produced from benzoylacetonitrile derivatives with moderate to high conversions (73–99%) and excellent enantioselectivity (> 99% ee). These results are significantly advantageous over previous studies, indicating a great potential of this cascade reaction for the practical synthesis of (S)-β-phenylalanine in the future.

Methods for the synthesis of cyclic phosphonic acid diesters from 1,3-diols are described, whereby cyclic phosphonic acid diesters are produced by reacting a chiral 1,3-diol and an activated phosphonic acid in the presence of a Lewis acid.

A new class of phosphate and phosphonate prodrugs, called HepDirect prodrugs, is described that combines properties of rapid liver cleavage with high plasma and tissue stability to achieve increased drug levels in the liver. The prodrugs are substituted c
