Diastereoselective reduction of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3(R)-[3-oxo-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propyl]-4(S)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)azetidin-2-one to Ezetimibe by the whole cell catalyst Rhodococcus fascians MO22

The asymmetric microbial reduction of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3(R)-[3-oxo-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propyl]-4(S)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)azetidin-2-one to 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3(R)-[3(S)-hydroxy-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propyl]-4(S)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)azetidin-2-one (Ezetimibe) by Rhodococcus fascians MO22 is described. The catalytic capability of the microorganism for reduction has been examined also with protected ketone, an intermediate from chemical synthesis of Ezetimibe. Various parameters of the bioreduction have been optimized: the strain converted 94.8% of ketone and 63% of protected ketone into Ezetimibe with the same de of 99.9%. In the later case, two chemical steps are replaced with a single biotransformation.

▶ Last step of Ezetimibe preparation. ▶ Bioreduction by whole cells of Rhodococcus fascians MO22 with de 99.9% and conversion up to 95%. ▶ Possibility to replace chemical reduction.
