Enantiopure 2-hydroxy acids (2-HAs) are important intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Deracemization of racemic 2-HAs into the corresponding single enantiomers represents an economical and highly efficient approach for synthesizing chiral 2-HAs in industry. In this work, a novel ketoacid reductase from Leuconostoc lactis (LlKAR) with higher activity and substrate tolerance towards aromatic α-ketoacids was discovered by genome mining, and then its enzymatic properties were characterized. Accordingly, an engineered Escherichia coli (HADH-LlKAR-GDH) co-expressing 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase, LlKAR, and glucose dehydrogenase was constructed for efficient deracemization of racemic 2-HAs. Most of the racemic 2-HAs were deracemized to their (R)-isomers at high yields and enantiomeric purity. In the case of racemic 2-chloromandelic acid, as much as 300 mM of substrate was completely transformed into the optically pure (R)-2-chloromandelic acid (> 99% enantiomeric excess) with a high productivity of 83.8 g L?1 day?1 without addition of exogenous cofactor, which make this novel whole-cell biocatalyst more promising and competitive in practical application.

A facile and efficient one-pot, single-step method for deracemizing a broad range of 2-hydroxyacids to (R)-2-hydroxyacids was established by combination of resting cells of an (S)-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase-producing microorganism and an (R)-ketoacid reductase-producing microorganism.

In the mutasynthetic approach, the ΔdpgA mutant of the vancomycin-type glycopeptide antibiotic producer Amycolatopsis balhimycina, which is deficient in the synthesis of 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DPg), was supplemented with synthetic DPg analogues to obtain the corresponding modified glycopeptides. Sterically more demanding 3,5-disubstituted methoxy derivatives as well as monosubstituted DPg analogues were accepted as substrates. These facts indicate that steric and electronic requirements suffice in several cases for the oxidative closure of the AB ring, thus leading to the generation of novel antibiotically active glycopeptide derivatives. The results represent a further step in evaluating the potential of mutasynthesis for peptidic secondary metabolites. Copyright
Oxidation of Mandelic Acid by Fenton's Reagent

Mandelic acid forms a stable 1:1 complex with Fe2+ at pH 1-3.Its oxidation by H2O2 and S2O82- has been investigated in the hope of detecting intramolecular oxidation-reduction of any intermediate FeIV species, rather than the usual hydroxyl radical process.Products are benzaldehyde and hydroxymandelic acids, consistent with either, but added hydroxyl radical traps - acetone or crotonic acid - are able to intercept only about half of the reaction.However, they reduce yields of benzaldehyde but not hydroxymandelic acids, and it is concluded that the balance of the reaction involves cage reactions of newly formed hydroxyl radicals rather than a high-valence iron species.

Certain 7-acylamido-3-(1-carboxy-loweralkyl-tetrazol-5-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids and their salts and easily hydrolyzed esters of the 4-carboxyl group were synthesized and found to be potent antibacterial agents which exhibited good aqueous solubility. In a preferred embodiment the 7-substituent was 2'-aminomethylphenylacetamido.

7-(D-α-Hydroxy-2-arylacetamido)-3-(2-carboxyalkyl-2,3-dihydro-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-3-on-6-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids and derivatives containing blocking groups on the α-hydroxy group and their nontoxic, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are valuable as antibacterial agents and are particularly valuable as therapeutic agents in poultry and in animals, including man, in the treatment of infectious diseases caused by many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A preferred compound is 7-(D-mandelamido)-3-(2-carboxyalkyl-2,3-dihydro-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazin-3-on-6-ylthiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid.
