Enoate reductases belonging to the Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family were employed to develop a biocatalysed approach to methyl (S)-2-bromobutanoate, a key intermediate for the introduction of a particular stereogenic unit into the molecular skeleton of a certain class of chiral drugs. Methyl (Z)-2-bromocrotonate afforded, respectively, (S)-2-bromobutanoic acid (ee = 97%) and methyl (S)-2-bromobutanoate (ee = 97%) by baker's yeast fermentation and by OYE1-3 biotransformations. The bioreductions of other methyl 2-haloalkenoates were also considered. It was observed that the (Z)- and (E)-diastereoisomers of α-bromo unsaturated esters afforded the same enantiomer of the corresponding reduced product.

Candida rugosa lipase immobilized on maghemite nanoparticles demonstrated high stereoselectivity in kinetic resolution of racemic carboxylates and improved long-term stability over its parent free enzyme, allowing the supported enzyme to be repeatedly used for a series of chiral resolution reactions.

Through directed screening of compounds prepared as metalloprotease inhibitors a compound, CGS 30084, that had potent endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) in vitro inhibitory activity (IC50=77nM) was identified. Herein we report the synthesis and optimization of ECE-1 inhibitory activity of additional analogues from this lead. Compound 3c, the thioacetate methyl ester derivative of compound 4c, was found to be a long acting inhibitor of ECE-1 activity in rats after oral administration. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
