Complete Specification for the invention entitled: IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE ENZYMATIC PREPARATION OF L-2- AMINO-4-METHYLPHOSPHINOBUTYRIC ACID Thie following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to ',us -I ct HOECHST AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 87/F 213 Dr.KH/AW Description Improved process for the enzymatic preparation of L-2amino-4-methylphosphinobutyric acid L-2-Amino-4-methylphosphinobutyric acid (called L-phosphinothricin or L-PTC below) or salts thereof with organic or inorganic bases or acids are, as has also been disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift 2,939,269, the active component of the racemates which are readily accessible chemically. According to German Offenlegungsschrift 2,717,440, L-PTC has a very good and broad herbicidal activity against numerous monocotyledonous and di- S* cotyledonous, annual and perennial weeds. Since the 15 activity of L-PTC and its abovementioned derivatives is about twice that of the racemates, it was desirable to a o. develop a process which makes it possible to provide Srelatively large quantities of L-PTC in a simple manner.
0 0o 0o 20 L-PTC can be obtained by acid hydrolysis (Japanese S' Published Application 73-85,538) or enzymatic degradation (Japanese Published Application 74-31,890) of L-PTCalanylalanine, which is a microbially obtained antibiotic known from the literature.
German Offenlegungsschrift 2,939,269 also describes a process, in which an N-acyl-L-PTC (especially N-acetyl- L-PTC) is cleaved more rapidly than the corresponding Dderivative by means of microbial acylases which are used in the form of complete cells or of cell extracts and Soriginate from specially cultured strains of the genus Pseudomonas, Streptomyces or Aspergillus. The PTC isolated after working-up has a maximum specific rotation value of only Ea] 2 2 of 230 (c 1, 1 N HCL), which
D
corresponds to an optical purity of only about German Patent 3,048,612 has disclosed that penicillin-Gacylase, especially that from E. coli ATCC 11105, both i I i.b 2 in the free form and in the immobilized form, cleaves the Naracetyl derivatives of racemic phosphinothricin in a comparatively high yield.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the process can be substantially improved with the aid of immobilized E.
coli cells, with respect to longer service lives and lower activity Losses.
10 The invention thus relates to a process for the enzymatic a 0 resolution of D,L-2-amino-4-methylphosphinobutyric acid, which comprises incubating N-phenacetyl derivatives thereof of the formula I o Q 0 15 II (1) P-C -CH 2-CH-NH-CO-CH -C 6 H 5 OH COOH So in an aqueous or aqueous-organic medium with E. coli ATCC 11105 cells immobilized on/in chitosan.
The invention is described in detail below, especially o its preferred embodiments. The invention is also defined in the claims.
1, 0 25 The E. coli ATCC 11105 cells are cultured in conventional S nutrient media known per' se to a person skilled in the art. For immobilization on chitosan, they are separated from the nutrient medium and fixed on chitosan by known methods, preferably by the process of German Patents 2,835,875, 3,005,632 or 3,003,633. The incubation of the substrate with the E. coli cells immobilized on chitosan can be carried out in a discontinuous or continuous column process. To render the process as economical as possible, it is preferably carried out continuously, i.e. the substrate solution is passed continuously over the fixed enzyme as the stationary phase, advantageously in a column, until the deacylation of N-phenacetyl-Lphosphinothricin is complete.
3 I The aqueous substrate solution contains the racemic phosphinothricin derivative in concentrations from about 0.1 to 30%, preferably 7 to 15%. The reaction temperature is between 20 and 45 0 C, preferably between 30 and 40°C. Adequate reactivity of the cells is obtained at a pH from 3 to 9, preferably at 6 to 8.5. The addition of organic solvents such as, for example, butyl acetate, tert.-butyl methyl ether or methyl isobutyl ketone, to the aqueous reaction solution up to saturation or washing of the immobilized enzyme with these solvents at regular intervals has an advantageous effect on the service lives thereof.
The course and the end of the reaction can be monitored by means of polarimetric methods or quantitative analysis, known from the literature, of the resulting free amino acids by reaction with ninhydrin and photometric determination of the content. Preferably, however, the liberation of phenylacetic acid is monitored by means of HPLC.
The L-PTC obtained in a high yield has a rotation value of E]22 +28.50 (c 1 in 1 N HCl), which corresponds to an optical purity of at least Surprisingly, it has been found that the economics of the biological racemate resolution by the process according to the invention, using E. coli ATCC 11105 cells can be substantially improved, in spite of the Liberation of phenylacetic acid in the course of the reaction, because of a significantly Lower activity loss and longer service Lives of the biocatalyst as compared with immobilized Spenicillin acylases.
The Examples given below serve to explain the invention in more detail.
Examples Penicillin G acylase is fixed according to German Offenlegungsschrift 2,732,301, Example 1 or 2, (biocatalyst 1) i i ;I; 4 or according to German Offentegungsschrift 3,344,912, Example 7 (biocatalyst E. coli ATCC 11105 is immobilized according to German Patent 3,005,632, Example 1, (biocatalyst Siocatatysts 1 and 2 have an activity of about 170 units/g of carrier (moist) x minute, and biocatalyst 3 has an activity of 25 units/mL of carrier x minute, each with respect to the hydrolysis of peniciLLin- G potassium salt aqueous solution) at 37 0
C.
Example 1 A 10% solution of the di-sodium or di-ammonium salt of phenacetylphosphinothricin is warmed to a temperature of 0 C at a pH of 7.7 and then pumped at a flow rate of more than 20 I/h through a glass column packed with 10 g of biocatalyst 1 or 2. The pH is readjusted to 7.7 with 0.1 normal sodium hydroxide solution or 0.1 normal ammonia solution. The substrate solution is fed, and the product stream is taken off, at 35 mL per hour (depending on the desired conversion).
The activity of the biocatalyst with respect to the hydrolysis of a 1% aqueous penicillin G potassium salt solution at a temperature of 37 0 C is determined directly or after regeneration by washing with butyl acetate solution.
Example 2 Analogously to Example 1, using 30 ml of fixed E. coli cells (biocatalyst the enzymatic hydrolysis of the 30 10% phenacetylphosphinothricin solution is carried out in a fluidized bed at pH 8.1. The enzyme activity with respect to the resolution of penicillin G potassium salt was determined according to Example 1.
Example 3 480 ml of 10% phenacetylphosphinothricin solution at pH 7.7 are warmed to a temperature of 35 0 C in a 1 liter stirred reactor with pH control. The reaction is started by adding 10 g of moist biocatalyst 1, and the p11 is readjusted by addition of diLute ammonia solution. After 24 hours, the reaction solution is separated from the blocatalyst and the reaction is started by addition of new S substrate sotution.
