Optically pure epoxides are essential chiral precursors for the production of (S)-propranolol, (S)-alprenolol, and other β-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs. Although the enzymatic production of these bulky epoxides has proven difficult, here we report a method to effectively improve the activity of BmEH, an epoxide hydrolase from Bacillus megaterium ECU1001 toward α-naphthyl glycidyl ether, the precursor of (S)-propranolol, by eliminating the steric hindrance near the potential product-release site. Using X-ray crystallography, mass spectrum, and molecular dynamics calculations, we have identified an active tunnel for substrate access and product release of this enzyme. The crystal structures revealed that there is an independent product-release site in BmEH that was not included in other reported epoxide hydrolase structures. By alanine scanning, two mutants, F128A and M145A, targeted to expand the potential product-release site displayed 42 and 25 times higher activities toward α-naphthyl glycidyl ether than the wild-type enzyme, respectively. These results show great promise for structure-based rational design in improving the catalytic efficiency of industrial enzymes for bulky substrates. epoxide hydrolase X-ray crystallography protein engineering product release bulky substrate We are grateful for access to beamline BL17U1 at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility and thank the beamline staff for technical support.

An enzymatic method for the direct resolution of propranolol is described. Candida cylindracea lipase enantioselectively catalyzed N-acetylation of S-propranolol with isopropenyl acetate in isopropyl ether. The ee values of the two enantiomers of N-acetylpropranolol were determined by an HPLC equipped with a chiral column. The effects of organic solvent nature and substrate concentration on enantioselectivity were also studied.

In this study, a novel hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) functionalized monolithic capillary column was prepared by one-pot sequential strategy and used for chiral separation in capillary electrochromatography for the first time. In one pot, GMA-HP-γ-CD as functional monomer was allowed to be formed via the ring opening reaction between HP-γ-CD and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) catalyzed by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and then copolymerized directly with ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in the presence of porogenic solvents via thermally initiated free radical polymerization. The preparation conditions of monoliths were optimized. Enantiomer separations of six chiral drugs including pindolol, clorprenaline, tulobuterol, clenbuterol, propranolol, and tropicamide were achieved on the monolith. Among them, pindolol, clorprenaline, and tropicamide were baseline separated with resolution values of 1.62, 1.73, and 1.55, respectively. The mechanism of enantiomer separation was discussed by comparison of the HP-γ-CD and HP-β-CD functionalized monoliths.

So far, no detailed view has been expressed regarding the interactions between vancomycin and racemic compounds including mandelic acid. In the current study, a chiral stationary phase was prepared by using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and succinic anhydride to graft carboxylated silica microspheres and subsequently by activating the carboxylic acid group for vancomycin immobilization. Characterization by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated effective functionalization of the silica surface. R and S enantiomers of mandelic acid were separated by the synthetic vancomycin column. Finally, the interaction between vancomycin and R/S mandelic acid enantiomers was simulated by Auto-dock Vina. The binding energies of interactions between R and S enantiomers and vancomycin chiral stationary phase were different. In the most probable interaction, the difference in mandelic acid binding energy was approximately 0.2 kcal/mol. In addition, circular dichroism spectra of vancomycin interacting with R and S enantiomers showed different patterns. Therefore, R and S mandelic acid enantiomers may occupy various binding pockets and interact with different vancomycin functions. These observations emphasized the different retention of R and S mandelic acid enantiomers in vancomycin chiral column.

Three novel β-cyclodextrin compounds derived with piperidine which is flexible, L-proline containing a chiral center, ionic liquid with 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole as the cation were designed and synthesized as chiral selectors for enantiomer separation, whose name were (mono-6-deoxy-6-(piperidine)-β-cyclodextrin, mono-6-deoxy-6-(L-proline)-β-cyclodextrin, mono-6-deoxy-6-(3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole)-β-cyclodextrin, multi-substituted 3,5-diamino-1,2,4- triazole-(p-toluenesulfonic)-β-cyclodextrin), respectively. In addition, to enhance the polarity of chiral stationary phases, hydrosilylation and silylation reactions were implemented to derive ordinary silica, the common used selector carrier, to hydride silica, whose surface is covered with proton. 31 pyrrolidine compounds and some chiral drugs were tested in both polar organic mobile phase mode and normal mobile phase mode. 6-Deoxy-6-L-proline-β-cyclodextrin-CSP showed satisfactory separations in polar organic mobile phase mode and exihibited a strong separation capability in different pH values; multi-substituted 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole-(p-toluenesulfonic)-β-cyclodextrin-CSP can separate pyrrolidine compounds in both mobile phase modes with high resolutions and separation efficiency compared to commercially available CSPs, making it to be the most valuable object to study. The composition of mobile phase, type of stationary phase as well as the peak problem of chromatograms was discussed deeply.
