The Stereoselective Oxidation of para-Substituted Benzenes by a Cytochrome P450 Biocatalyst

The serine 244 to aspartate (S244D) variant of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP199A4 was used to expand its substrate range beyond benzoic acids. Substrates, in which the carboxylate group of the benzoic acid moiety is replaced were oxidised with high activity by the S244D mutant (product formation rates >60 nmol.(nmol-CYP)?1.min?1) and with total turnover numbers of up to 20,000. Ethyl α-hydroxylation was more rapid than methyl oxidation, styrene epoxidation and S-oxidation. The S244D mutant catalysed the ethyl hydroxylation, epoxidation and sulfoxidation reactions with an excess of one stereoisomer (in some instances up to >98 %). The crystal structure of 4-methoxybenzoic acid-bound CYP199A4 S244D showed that the active site architecture and the substrate orientation were similar to that of the WT enzyme. Overall, this work demonstrates that CYP199A4 can catalyse the stereoselective hydroxylation, epoxidation or sulfoxidation of substituted benzene substrates under mild conditions resulting in more sustainable transformations using this heme monooxygenase enzyme.

Mild oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzyl aldehydes or ketones catalyzed by visible light

Induced by visible light, mild oxidation condition to prepare benzyl aldehydes or ketones have been developed by using bromotrichloromethane as photochemical oxidant. This method avoids high temperature, pressure and peroxidation with only visible light as the green driving force.

A Hammett Study of Clostridium acetobutylicum Alcohol Dehydrogenase (CaADH): An Enzyme with Remarkable Substrate Promiscuity and Utility for Organic Synthesis

Described is a physical organic study of the reduction of three sets of carbonyl compounds by the NADPH-dependent enzyme Clostridium acetobutylicum alcohol dehydrogenase (CaADH). Previous studies in our group have shown this enzyme to display broad substrate promiscuity, yet remarkable stereochemical fidelity, in the reduction of carbonyl compounds, including α-, β- and γ-keto esters (d -stereochemistry), as well as α,α-difluorinated-β-keto phosphonate esters (l -stereochemistry). To better mechanistically characterize this promising dehydrogenase enzyme, we report here the results of a Hammett linear free-energy relationship (LFER) study across three distinct classes of carbonyl substrates; namely aryl aldehydes, aryl β-keto esters and aryl trifluoromethyl ketones. Rates are measured by monitoring the decrease in NADPH fluorescence at 460 nm with time across a range of substrate concentrations for each member of each carbonyl compound class. The resulting v 0 versus [S] data are subjected to least-squares hyperbolic fitting to the Michaelis-Menton equation. Hammett plots of log(V max) versus σ X yield the following Hammett parameters: (i) for p -substituted aldehydes, ρ = 0.99 ± 0.10, ρ = 0.40 ± 0.09; two domains observed, (ii) for p -substituted β-keto esters ρ = 1.02 ± 0.31, and (iii) for p -substituted aryl trifluoromethyl ketones ρ = -0.97 ± 0.12. The positive sign of ρ indicated for the first two compound classes suggests that the hydride transfer from the nicotinamide cofactor is at least partially rate-limiting, whereas the negative sign of ρ for the aryl trifluoromethyl ketone class suggests that dehydration of the ketone hydrate may be rate-limiting for this compound class. Consistent with this notion, examination of the 13 C NMR spectra for the set of p -substituted aryl trifluo romethyl ketones in 2percent aqueous DMSO reveals significant formation of the hydrate (gem -diol) for this compound family, with compounds bearing the more electron-withdrawing groups showing greater degrees of hydration. This work also presents the first examples of the CaADH-mediated reduction of aryl trifluoromethyl ketones, and chiral HPLC analysis indicates that the parent compound α,α,α-trifluoroacetophenone is enzymatically reduced in 99percent ee and 95percent yield, providing the (S)-stereoisomer, suggesting yet another compound class for which this enzyme displays high enantioselectivity.

Transfer Hydrogenation of Aldehydes and Ketones with Isopropanol under Neutral Conditions Catalyzed by a Metal-Ligand Bifunctional Catalyst [Cp?Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(H2O)]

A Cp?Ir complex bearing a functional bipyridonate ligand [Cp?Ir(2,2′-bpyO)(H2O)] was found to be a highly efficient and general catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes and chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated aldehydes with isopropanol under neutral conditions. It was noteworthy that many readily reducible or labile functional groups such as nitro, cyano, ester, and halide did not undergo any change under the reaction conditions. Furthermore, this catalytic system exhibited high activity for transfer hydrogenation of ketones with isopropanol. Notably, this research exhibited new potential of metal-ligand bifunctional catalysts for transfer hydrogenation.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of curcumin inspired indole analogues as tubulin polymerization inhibitors

In our endeavour towards the development of potent cytotoxic agents, a series of some new curcumin inspired indole analogues, in which indole and phenyl moieties are linked on either sides of 1,5-diaryl-1,4-pentadien-3-one system have been synthesized and characterized by spectral data. All the newly synthesized analogues were tested for their cytotoxic potential against a panel of eight cancer cell lines namely, lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231, BT549 and 4T1), prostate (PC-3, DU145), gastric (HGC-27) and cervical (HeLa). Notably, among all the compounds tested, compounds 11c, 11d and 11f showed potent growth inhibition on PC-3 and BT549 with IC50values in the range of 3.12–6.34?μM and 4.69–8.72?μM respectively. The most active compound (11c) was also tested on RWPE-1 (normal prostate) cells and was found to be safe compared to the PC-3?cells. In tubulin polymerization assay, compounds 11c and 11f effectively inhibited microtubule assembly with IC50values of 10.21?±?0.10 and 8.83?±?0.06?μM respectively. The results from molecular modelling studies revealed that these compounds bind at the colchicine binding site of the tubulin. Moreover, DAPI and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining studies indicated that compounds 11c and 11f can induce apoptosis in PC-3?cells. Further flow-cytometry analysis revealed that compound 11c arrests PC-3?cells in G2/M phase of the cell cycle while compound 11f treatment resulted in moderate increase in the G2/M population. Additionally, the treatment by these compounds led to the impairment of mitochondrial membrane potential (DΨm) in PC-3?cells.
