Abstract

A process of production of trichlorogalactosucrose is described in which deacylation of sucrose-6-ester is achieved by subjecting the reaction mixture after chlorination, neutralization and adjustment of pH to 6.5 to 7 to deacylation by using a lipase or a protease, in a free or in an immobilized form.

Description

ENZYME CATALYZED DE-ACYLATION OF CHLORINATED SUGAR
DERIVATIVES
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel process and a novel strategy for production of 1-6-Dichloro-1-6-DIDEOXY-P-Fructofuranasyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-galactopyranoside (TGS) involving enzymatic deacylation of the 6-0-protected TGS obtained after the chlorination reaction.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Strategies of prior art methods of production of 4,1', 6' trichlorogalactosucrose (TGS) predominantly involve chlorination of sucrose-6-ester by use of Vilsmeier Haack reagent derived from to chlorinate Sucrose-6-ester, to form 6 acetyl 4,1', 6'trichlorogalactosucrose, using various chlorinating agents such as phosphorus oxychloride, oxalyl chloride, phosphorus pentachloride etc, and a tertiary amide such as dimethylformamide (DMF). After the said chlorination reaction, the reaction mass is neutralized to pH 7.0 -7.5 using appropriate alkali hydroxides of calcium, sodium, etc. The pH of the neutralized mass is then further raised to 9.5 or above to deesterify / deacetylate the 6 acetyl 4,1', 6'trichlorogalactosucrose to form 4,1', 6' trichlorogalactosucrose using alkali hydroxides of calcium, sodium, potassium, etc. This alkaline de-esterification / deacylation involves exposure of the reactants to harsh pH in alkaline range which leads to destruction of a significant quantity of DMF, which is an expensive input, adversely affecting its recovery after the reaction.

In prior art process, the reaction mixture is also exposed during the process of deacylation to harsh temperatures which lead to destruction of the product TGS itself.

Hence, there is a need for a method of deacylation which shall not expose DMF to destruction.

A method has been developed to achieve deacylation enzymatically at a pH which does not expose DMF to destruction.

Enzymatic deacylation has been reported by Palmer et al (1995) in a US
patent no. 5445951 for the preparation of partially acylated derivatives of sucrose by the enzyme catalyzed deacylation of sucrose esters from a sucrose ester selected from the group consisting of sucrose octaacylate, sucrose heptaacylate, and sucrose hexaacylate in an anhydrous organic medium, with an enzyme or combination of enzymes capable of catalyzing the deacylation of said sucrose ester to produce a partially deacylated sucrose derivative having free hydroxyl group(s) in pre-selected position(s), and recovering the, resulting partially deacylated sucrose derivative.

No other report is known on enzymatic deacylation of a sucrose ester or its derivative I a precursor.

This invention relates to the enzymatic deacylation of the 6-0-protected TGS obtained after the chlorination reaction during the preparation of the artificial sweetener, TGS. Embodiments of chlorination reaction mixture which can be subjected to the process described in this invention includes, without being limited to, a process stream obtained after mixing sucrose-6-ester with a chlorinating agent described in Mufti et al. (1983) US patent no 4380476, Walkup et al. (1990 No.4980463), Jenner et al. (1982) US patent no. 4,362,869, Tu11ey et al. (1989) US pat no. 4,801,700, Rathbone et al.

(1996) US Pat no. 5,498,709, Navia et al.(1996) US Pat no. 5,530,106 The enzymatic deacylation is carried out on the process stream obtained in a way as mentioned above after neutralization of the chlorinated reaction mass after or without intermediate isolation of the 6-0-protected TGS. The solvent, tertiary amide present in the neutralized reaction mass doesn't get decomposed due to the enzymatic reaction and therefore results in enhanced recovery of the said solvent.

In this invention, the chlorinated reaction mass, after chlorination reaction is neutralized with a suitable base. When the pH is controlled during neutralization below 6.0, the compound TGS formed still has the protected group intact at the 6th position. The deblocking of the 6th position is carried out either with or without the isolation of the said compound. Further various references also point out that the deblocking can be carried out with or without the tertiary amide and other solvent and aqueous conditions.

The present invention describes the deacylation at the 6{h position using an enzymatic process where in the enzyme selectively removes the protected group in the presence or absence of the tertiary amide, including DMF
which is used in the chlorination reaction.

The process of this invention also works well for deacylation of embodiments which are not result of a chlorination reaction, such as a simple solution of pure TGS-6-ester.

Enzyme catalyzed deacylation is well known and the lipase and proteolytic enzymes carry out deacylation and acylation reactions under benign reaction conditions and is widely reported by Soedjak HS, Spradlin JE

(1994). Biocatalysis 11: 241-248; Therisod M, Klibanov AM (1986) J. Am.
Chem. Soc. 108: 5638 - 5640; B. Cambou and A.M. Klibanov, J. Am.
Chem. SOC., 106,2687(1984); Kirpal S Bisht,Pure & Appi. Cbem., Vol. 68, No. 3, pp. 749-752, 1996; F.J. Plou1;_, M.A. Cruces1, Biotechnology Letters 21: 635-639, 1999.

In this invention, after the neutralization of the reaction mass, the pH is adjusted to 6.5 using an appropriate base. The lipase enzyme is then added to the reaction mass slowly under stirring at room temperature. The quantity of enzyme added to the reaction mass varies from 10% to 40% w/v depending on the enzyme activity and reaction conditions. The tertiary amide content in the neutralized reaction mass is around 10% to 40%. The reaction mixture is stirred continuously for a period of 10 to 60 hours, more preferably 16 to 20 hours. The conversion of the 6-0-protected TGS to TGS
is monitored by TLC.- After the complete deacylation, the reaction mixture is taken for TGS isolation by affinity chromatography. The isolated TGS is then crystallized by suitable methods.

The use of the lipase or proteolytic enzymes for deacylation of 6-0-protected TGS to TGS can be in its native form or in immobilized form.
When the immobilized enzyme is used, the enzyme is filtered off after the completion of the deacylation. This recovered enzyme can be further re-used. Also the immobilized enzyme can be packed in a column and the reaction mass can be passed through the column and in situ deacylation of the 6-0-protected TGS pan be carried out. These enzymes can be immobilized in or on synthetic polymeric supports such as, but not limited to polyacrylic, or polystyrene or polyacrylamide, nylon based supports; or semisynthetic or natural organic supports like those based on polysaccharides such as, but not limited to cellulose, starch, dextran, agarose, chitosan, chitin, etc.; or inorganic supports like those based on carbon, silica, zirconia, alumina, zirconium phosphate, etc.

The source of the enzyme lipase can be of animal, plant or microbial origin, more preferably microbial or bacterial origin such as Bacillus thermocatenulatusis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc., fungal origin such as Penicillium Roquefortii, Asperigillus niger, Asperigillus oryzae, Rhizopus niveus, Candida rugosa, Rhizomucor miheii, Candida antartctica, etc.

During the process of the said invention, the TGS product is not exposed to any harsh pH or temperature conditions as in the case of the conventional deacylation processes using acid, alkali. The product loss is the most minimal compared any other form of deacylation process.
During the process of the said invention, the tertiary amide is not exposed to any harsh pH or temperature conditions as in the case of the conventional deacylation processes using acid, alkali. Hence the decomposition of the tertiary amide doesn't take place at all. Therefore the efficiency of the recovery of the tertiary amide enhances to a very large extent.
