Regiospecific oxidoreductions catalyzed by a new Pseudomonas paucimobilis hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase

The preparative-scale regio- and stereo-specific oxidation of hydroxy groups and reduction of keto functions at C(3) of several C21 bile acids, catalyzed by a new 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSDH) is reported. The crude enzyme, isolated from the cells of Pseudomonas paucimobilis, revealed the presence of a further enzymatic fraction containing a secondary alcohol dehydrogenase (SADH), that has been used to recycle the cofactor.

Vitamin E analogues differentially inhibit human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A)-mediated oxidative metabolism of lithocholic acid: Impact of δ-tocotrienol on lithocholic acid cytotoxicity

Lithocholic acid is a cytotoxic bile acid oxidized at the C-3 position by human cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) to form 3-ketocholanoic acid, but it is not known whether this metabolite is cytotoxic. Tocotrienols, in their various isomeric forms, are vitamin E analogues. In the present study, the hypothesis to be tested is that tocotrienols inhibit CYP3A-catalyzed lithocholic acid 3-oxidation, thereby influencing lithocholic acid cytotoxicity. Our enzyme catalysis experiments indicated that human recombinant CYP3A5 in addition to CYP3A4, liver microsomes, and intestinal microsomes catalyzed lithocholic acid 3-oxidation to form 3-ketocholanoic acid. Liver microsomes with the CYP3A5*1/*3 and CYP3A5*3/*3 genotypes were associated with decreased lithocholic acid 3-oxidation. α-Tocotrienol, γ-tocotrienol, δ-tocotrienol, and a tocotrienol-rich vitamin E mixture, but not α-tocopherol (a vitamin E analogue), differentially inhibited lithocholic acid 3-oxidation catalyzed by liver and intestinal microsomes and recombinant CYP3A4 and CYP3A5. Compared to lithocholic acid 3-oxidation, CYP3A-catalyzed testosterone 6β-hydroxylation was inhibited to a lesser extent by α-tocotrienol, γ-tocotrienol, δ-tocotrienol, and a tocotrienol-rich vitamin E mixture. δ-Tocotrienol inhibited lithocholic acid 3-oxidation by a mixed mode. Like lithocholic acid, 3-ketocholanoic acid was also cytotoxic in human intestinal and liver cell models. δ-Tocotrienol decreased the extent of lithocholic acid 3-oxidation and this inhibition was associated with enhanced cytotoxicity in LS180 cells treated with δ-tocotrienol and lithocholic acid. Overall, vitamin E analogues inhibited in vitro lithocholic acid 3-oxidation in an isomer-dependent manner, with inhibition occurring with tocotrienols, but not α-tocopherol. The enhanced lithocholic acid toxicity by δ-tocotrienol in a human intestinal cell model warrants future investigations in vivo.

Method for preparing acid through oxidating alcohols or aldehydes by oxygen

The invention provides a method for preparing acid through oxidating alcohols or aldehydes by using oxygen or oxygen in air as an oxidant. The method comprises the steps: oxidating the alcohols or aldehydes to produce the acid at room temperature in an organic solvent in a manner of taking ferric nitrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O), 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl nitrogen oxide (TEMPO) and an inorganic halide as catalysts and taking the oxygen or air as an oxidant, and oxidating diols to produce lactone; or, carrying out a reaction on the aldehydes, which serve as a raw material, under neutral conditions by taking ferric nitrate as a catalyst, and oxidating the aldehydes to produce the acid and peroxy acid. The method has the advantages that the method is environmentally friendly, the cost is low, the yield is high, the atomic economical efficiency is high, the compatibility of substrate functional groups is good, the reaction conditions are mild, a reaction scale can be enlarged, and the like, so that the method is suitable for being applied to industrial production.

Iron Catalysis for Room-Temperature Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols to Carboxylic Acids

Oxidation from alcohols to carboxylic acids, a class of essential chemicals in daily life, academic laboratories, and industry, is a fundamental reaction, usually using at least a stoichiometric amount of an expensive and toxic oxidant. Here, an efficient and practical sustainable oxidation technology of alcohols to carboxylic acids using pure O2 or even O2 in air as the oxidant has been developed: utilizing a catalytic amount each of Fe(NO3)3·9H2O/TEMPO/MCl, a series of carboxylic acids were obtained from alcohols (also aldehydes) in high yields at room temperature. A 55 g-scale reaction was demonstrated using air. As a synthetic application, the first total synthesis of a naturally occurring allene, i.e., phlomic acid, was accomplished.

Lithocholic acid and derivatives: Antibacterial activity

In order to develop bioactive lithocholic acid derivatives, we prepared fifteen semi-synthetic compounds through modification at C-3 and/or C-24. The reactions showed yields ranging from 37% to 100%. The structures of all compounds obtained were identified on the basis of their spectral data (IR, MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR). The activity of lithocholic acid and derivatives was evaluated against the growth of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The derivative 3α-formyloxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (LA-06) showed the best activity, with MIC values of 0.0790 mM against E. coli (Ec 27) and B. cereus in both cases, and 0.0395 mM against S. aureus (ATCC 12692). Lithocholic acid and the derivatives with MIC ≤ 1.2 mM were evaluated on the susceptibility of some bacterial pathogens to the aminoglycoside antibiotics neomycin, amikacin and gentamicin was evaluated. There are no previously reported studies about these compounds as modifiers of the action of antibiotics or any other drugs.

Characterization of rabbit aldose reductase-like protein with 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity

In this study, we isolated the cDNA for a rabbit aldose reductase-like protein that shared an 86% sequence identity to human aldo-keto reductase (AKR)1 1B10 and has been assigned as AKR1B19 in the AKR superfamily. The purified recombinant AKR1B19 was similar to AKR1B10 and rabbit aldose reductase (AKR1B2) in the substrate specificity for various aldehydes and α-dicarbonyl compounds. In contrast to AKR1B10 and AKR1B2, AKR1B19 efficiently reduced 3-keto-5α/β-dihydro-C19/C21/C24-steroids into the corresponding 3β-hydroxysteroids, showing Km of 1.3-9.1 μM and kcat of 1.1-7.6 min-1. The stereospecific reduction was also observed in the metabolism of 5α- and 5β- dihydrotestosterones in AKR1B19-overexpressing cells. The mRNA for AKR1B19 was ubiquitously expressed in rabbit tissues, and the enzyme was co-purified with 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity from the lung. Thus, AKR1B19 may function as a 3-ketoreductase, as well as a defense system against cytotoxic carbonyl compounds in rabbit tissues. The molecular determinants for the unique 3-ketoreductase activity were investigated by replacement of Phe303 and Met304 in AKR1B19 with Gln and Ser, respectively, in AKR1B10. Single and double mutations (F303Q, M304S and F303Q/M304S) significantly impaired this activity, suggesting the two residues play critical roles in recognition of the steroidal substrate.
