Application of robust ketoreductase from Hansenula polymorpha for the reduction of carbonyl compounds

Enzyme-catalysed asymmetric reduction of ketones is an attractive tool for the production of chiral building blocks or precursors for the synthesis of bioactive compounds. Expression of robust ketoreductase (KRED) from Hansenula polymorpha was upscaled and applied for the asymmetric reduction of 31 prochiral carbonyl compounds (aliphatic and aromatic ketones, diketones and β-keto esters) to the corresponding optically pure hydroxy compounds. Biotransformations were performed with the purified recombinant KRED together with NADP+ recycling glucose dehydrogenase (GDH, Bacillus megaterium), both overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Maximum activity of KRED for biotransformation of ethyl-2-methylacetoacetate achieved by the high cell density cultivation was 2499.7 ± 234 U g–1DCW and 8.47 ± 0.40 U·mg–1E, respectively. The KRED from Hansenula polymorpha is a very versatile enzyme with broad substrate specificity and high activity towards carbonyl substrates with various structural features. Among the 36 carbonyl substrates screened in this study, the KRED showed activity with 31, with high enantioselectivity in most cases. With several ketones, the Hansenula polymorpha KRED catalysed preferentially the formation of the (R)-secondary alcohols, which is highly valued.

Highly efficient and recyclable chiral Pt nanoparticle catalyst for enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones

Thermoregulated phase-separable chiral Pt nanoparticle catalyst exhibited excellent ee (>99%) in the enantioselective hydrogenation of activated ketones for preparing chiral α-hydroxy acetals and chiral 1,2-diols. More importantly, the chiral catalyst could be easily separated by phase separation and directly reused in the next cycle without any loss in catalytic activity and enantioselectivity, even in the gram-scale reaction. The leaching of Pt was under the detection limit of the instrument.
