Deazaflavins as photocatalysts for the direct reductive regeneration of flavoenzymes

, p. 277 - 283 (2018)
Deazaflavins are potentially useful redox mediators for the direct, nicotinamide-independent regeneration of oxidoreductases. Especially the O2-stability of their reduced forms have attracted significant interest for the regeneration of monooxygenases. In this contribution we further investigate the photochemical properties of deazaflavins and investigate the scope and limitations of deazaflavin-based photoenzymatic reaction systems.

Four structurally modified flavin compounds have been synthesized and characterized for their redox potential by chemical reduction with sodium dithionite. Besides the previously reported 1- and 5-deazariboflavin, a 7,8-didemethyl derivative and an 8-isopropylriboflavin have been obtained. The synthesis of these compounds started in all cases from appropriately substituted anilines that were condensed with the ribityl chain, followed by completion of the annealed three-ring structure. The didemethyl- and the isopropyl compounds gave absorption maxima similar to riboflavin (436 and 448 nm, respectively), whereas 1-deazariboflavin showed a bathochromically shifted absorption (λmax = 537 nm), and that of 5-deazariboflavin was hypsochromically shifted (λmax = 400 nm). The midpoint potentials (E0′) of the four modified flavin compounds were determined by potentiometric titration, using riboflavin as a reference compound. Both alkyl-modified flavins showed slightly less negative midpoint potentials, whereas both deaza compounds had more negative midpoint values compared to the reference compound.

Starting from D-ribose and 3,4-xylidine, a fifteen-step synthesis is described for the preparation of 5-dFAD (18).The synthesis involves as key intermediates, 5-deazariboflavin (8), its 2',3',4'-tris-O-(tetrahydropyranyl) derivative (12) and 2',3',4'-tris-O-(tetrahydropyranyl)-5'-O-(morpholinophosphonyl)-5-deazaribolavin (15).
