Description
- The present invention relates to a novel process for the enzymatic reduction of enoates.
- The disproportionation of conjugated enones, such as cyclohex-2-enone, has been described as minor catalytic activity for several flavoproteins exhibiting enoate reductase-activity. In the context of these studies, this phenomenon has been generally considered as a side reaction, rather than as a useful transformation. Overall, this reaction constitutes a flavin-dependent hydrogen-transfer, during which an equivalent of [2H] is formally transferred from one enone molecule (being oxidised) onto another one (being reduced). In case of cyclohex-2-enone, this leads to the formation of an equimolar amount of cyclohexanone and cyclohex-2,5-dien-one. The latter spontaneously tautomerises to form phenol, going in hand with the generation of an aromatic system, which provides a large driving force (within a range of 30 kcal/M) for the reaction.
- The invention relates to a process for the enzymatic reduction of an enoate (1) wherein the C═C bond of the enoate (1) is stereoselectively hydrogenated in the presence of an enoat-reductase and an oxidizable co-substrate (2) in a system which is free of NAD(P)H,
- in which
- A is a ketone radical (—CRO), an aldehyde radical (—CHO), a carboxyl radical (—COOR), with
- R═H or optionally substituted C1-C6-alkyl radical,
- R1, R2 and R3 are independently of one another H, —O-C1-C6-alkyl , —O—W, with W=a hydroxyl protecting group, C1-C6-alkyl which can be substituted, C2-C6-alkenyl, carboxyl, or an optionally substituted carbo- or heterocyclic, aromatic or nonaromatic radical, or R1 is linked to R3 so as to become part of a 4-8-membered cycle, or R1 is linked to R so as to become part of a 4-8-membered cycle, with the proviso that R1, R2 and R3 may not be identical. Preferably, the C═C bond of the enoate (1) is enantioselectively or diastereoselectively hydrogenated.
- One of the rests R1, R2 and R3 may also be a —OH group; however in this case the formula (1) depicts the enol form which is in equilibrium with its keto form (formula 1a), i.e. R1=formyl (see above):
- A system which is free of NAD(P)H means that no external NAD+ and/or NADH and/or NADP− and/or NADPH is added to the system.
- Preferred co-substrates (2) are enoates having a chemical structure which has been described for the enoates (1) above. In a much preferred embodiment the cosubstrate (2) has the identical chemical structure as the enoate (1) used for the specific reaction. In another preferred embodiment the cosubstrate (2) has not the identical chemical structure as the enoate (1) used for the specific reaction.
- Another embodiment of the invention uses cosubstrates (2) which after having been oxidized during the reaction possess a conjugated, preferably an aromatic, electronic system.

-
- C1-C6-alkyl means in particular methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or hexyl and the corresponding singly or multiply branched analogs such as isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl or neopentyl; with preference being given in particular to the C1-C4-alkyl radicals;
- C1-C6-alkyl which can be substituted means in particular methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or hexyl and the corresponding singly or multiply branched analogs such as isopropyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, isopentyl or neopentyl; where 1, 2 or 3 hydrogen atoms can be substituted by a group selected from F, Cl, Br, J, OH, O—W, SH,NH2. Preferred are single-substituted C1-C6-alkyls with preference being given in particular to CH2OH and to CH2O—W.

Mention should be made in particular of heterocyclic radicals derived from pyrrblidine, tetrahydrofuran, piperidine, morpholine, pyrrole, furan, thiophene, pyrazole, imidazole, oxazole, thiazole, pyridine, pyran, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, coumarone, indole and quinoline. The cyclic radicals, but also the abovementioned O-alkyl, alkyl and alkenyl radicals, may optionally be substituted one or more times, such as, for example, 1, 2 or 3 times. Mention should be made as examples of suitable substituents of: halogen, in particular F, Cl, Br; —OH, —SH, —NO2, —NH3, —SO3H, C1-C4-alkyl and C2-C4-alkenyl, C1-C4-alkoxy; and hydroxy-C1-C4-alkyl; where the alkyl and alkenyl radicals are as defined above, and the alkoxy radicals are derived from the above-defined corresponding alkyl radicals.
- The radicals R1 and R3 may also be linked directly to one another so as to form together with the double bond to be reduced a 4-8-, preferably a 5- or 6-membered cycle, for example a cyclopentene or cyclohexene structure which may also be optionally substituted, for example by alkyl, preferably methyl radicals.

- The sequence identity is to be ascertained for the purposes described herein by the “GAP” computer program of the Genetics Computer Group (GCG) of the University of Wisconsin, and the version 10.3 using the standard parameters recommended by GCG is to be employed.
- Such reductases can be obtained starting from SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4 by targeted or randomized mutagenesis methods known to the skilled worker. An alternative possibility is, however, also to search in microorganisms, preferably in those of the genera Alishewanella, Alterococcus, Aquamonas, Aranicola, Arsenophonus, Azotivirga, Brenneria, Buchnera (aphid Pendosymbionts), Budvicia, Buttiauxella, Candidatus Phlomobacter, Cedecea, Citrobacter, Dickeya, Edwardsiella, Enterobacter, Erwinia, Escherichia, Ewingella, Gninontella, Hafnia, Klebsiella, Kluyvera, Leclercia, Lemihorella, Moellerella, Morganella, Obesumbacterium, Pantoea, Pectobacterium, Photorhabdus, Plesiomonas, Pragia, Proteus, Providencia, Rahnella, Raoultella, Salmonella, Samsonia, Serratia, Shigella, Sodalis, Tatumella, Trabulsiella, Wigglesworthia, Xenorhabdus, Yersinia or Yokenella, for reductases which catalyze the abovementioned model reaction and whose amino acid sequence already has the required sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4 is obtained by mutagenesis methods.
- The reductase can be used in purified or partly purified form or else in the form of the microorganism itself. Methods for obtaining and purifying dehydrogenases from microorganisms are well known to the skilled worker.
- The reaction can be carried out in aqueous or nonaqueous reaction media or in 2-phase systems or (micro)emulsions. The aqueous reaction media are preferably buffered solutions which ordinarily have a pH of from 4 to 8, prefetably from 5 to 8. The aqueous solvent may, besides water, additionally comprise at least one alcohol, e.g. ethanol or isopropanol, or dimethyl sulfoxide.
- Nonaqueous reaction media mean reaction media which comprise less than 1% by weight, preferably less than 0.5% by weight, of water based on the total weight of the liquid reaction medium. The reaction can in particular be carried out in an organic solvent.
- Suitable organic solvents are for example aliphatic hydrocarbons, preferably having 5 to 8 carbon atoms, such as pentane, cyclopentane, hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, octane or cyclooctane, halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, preferably having one or two carbon atoms, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrachloromethane, dichloroethane or tetrachloroethane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, the xylenes, chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene, aliphatic acyclic and cyclic ethers or alcohols, preferably having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, such as ethanol, isopropanol, diethyl ether, methyl tert-butyl ether, ethyl tert-butyl ether, dipropyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or esters such as ethyl acetate or n-butyl acetate or ketones such as methyl isobutyl ketone or dioxane or mixtures thereof. The aforementioned ethers, especially tetrahydrofuran, are particularly preferably used.
- The reduction with reductase can for example be carried out in an aqueous organic reaction medium such as, for example, water/isopropanol in any mixing ratio such as, for example, 1:99 to 99:1 or 10: 90 to 90:10, or an aqueous reaction medium.
- The substrate (1) is preferably employed in the enzymatic reduction in a concentration from 0.1 g/l to 500 g/l, particularly preferably from 1 g/l to 50 g/l, and can be fed in continuously or discontinuously.
- The enzymatic reduction ordinarily takes place at a reaction temperature below the deactivation temperature of the reductase employed and above −10° C. It is particularly preferably in the range from 0 to 100° C., in particular from 15 to 60° C. and specifically from 20 to 40° C., e.g. at about 30° C.
- A possible procedure for example is to mix the substrate (1) with the reductase and if appropriate the solvent thoroughly, e.g. by stirring or shaking: However, it is also possible to immobilize the reductase in a reactor, for example in a column, and to pass a mixture comprising the substrate through the reactor. For this purpose it is possible to circulate the mixture through the reactor until the desired conversion is reached.
- During this reaction, the flavin-cofactor is recycled internally and no external cofactor, such as NADH or NADPH, which are commonly used to recycle reduced flavoproteins are required. In these classic nicotinamide-dependent systems, C═C-bonds are reduced at the expense of an external hydride donor, such as formate, glucose, glucose-6-phosphate or phosphite, which requires a second (dehydrogenase) enzyme, such as FDH, GDH, G-6-PDH [i] or phosphite-DH [ii], respectively. This technology is generally denoted as ‘coupled-enzyme-approach’ and depends on the concurrent operation of two independent redox enzymes for substrate-reduction and co-substrate-oxidation, resp.
- In order to avoid the use of a second nicotinamide-dependent redox enzyme, the disproportionation of enones can be envisaged to function via a more simple system, denoted as ‘coupled-substrate-approach’, which solely depends on a single flavoprotein. Thereby, the use of (i) an additional redox-enzyme and (ii) an additional redox-cofactor, such as NAD(P)H, can be omitted.
- During an initial screening, a set of cloned and overexpressed enoate reductases was tested for their catalytic activity in the disproportionation of cyclohex-2-enone. To our delight, the desired disproportionation activity was observed in a variety of OYE homologs, most prominent in YqjM, OYE1, OYE2 and estrogen-binding protein.
- General procedure for the screening for enzymatic disproportionation of cyclohex-2-enone An aliquot of the isolated enzyme OPR1, OPR3, YqjM, OYE1, OYE2, OYE3, Zymonas mobilis ER, NEM-Red, MOR-Red and PETN-Red (protein purity >90%, protein content 90-110 μg/mL) was added to a Tris-HCl buffer solution (0.8 mL, 50 mM, pH 7.5) containing cyclohex-2-enone (10 mM). The mixture was shaken at 30° C. and 120 rpm for 24 h and the products were extracted with EtOAc (2×0.5 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4) and the resulting samples were analyzed on achiral GC. Products were identified by comparison with authentic reference materials via co-injection on GC-MS and achiral GC. Column: 6% Cyanopropyl-phenyl phase capillary column (Varian CP-1301, 30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm), detector temperature 250° C., split ratio 30:1; temperature program: 80° C.: hold 2 min.; rise to 120° C. with 5° C./min. Retention times: cyclohex-2-enone 2.97 min, cyclohexanone 2.43 min, phenol 4.98 min.

- In order to turn the scrambling-like non-directed hydrogen-transfer reaction occurring between two identical cyclohexenone molecules into a useful directed redox process, where one substrate is dehydrogenated/oxidised, while another is hydrogenated/reduced, two suitable enone substrates—one only being oxidised, the other only being reduced—have to be coupled. During our previous studies on NAD(P)H-coupled enone reduction, we observed that alpha-substituted cyclic enones were quickly reduced, whereas alkyl-substituents in the beta-position severely impeded the reaction rate. Hence, we envisaged to couple an alpha- and a beta-substituted enone as substrates, being reduced and oxidised, resp.
- In order to check the feasibility of this protocol, we investigated the disproportionation of 2-(1) and 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone (2); under identical conditions as for cyclohex-2-enone. With all

of the enzymes tested, the relative rate of disproportionation for 1 was higher than those for 2, meaning that the C═C-bond of alpha-methylcyclohex-2-enone was faster reduced than its beta-substituted analog 2. This difference was most pronounced for YqjM. - Encouraged by these results, we next attempted the coupled-substrate hydrogen-transfer between 2-(1) and 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone (2) as substrates to be reduced and oxidised, resp., in a directed fashion.
- The results of these experiments provided a clear proof-of-principle:
- (i) Depending on the enzyme, the desired reduced alpha-methyl derivative 1a was formed in up to 38% conversion, the oxidised beta-methyl analog 2b was detected in roughly equimolar amounts.
- (ii) In contrast, only trace amounts of the corresponding cross-hydrogen-transfer products, which would be expected from undesired oxidation of 1 and reduction of 2 were found, indicating that the mono-directional hydrogen-transfer indeed worked as envisaged.
- (iii) Investigation of the optical purity and absolute configuration of 1a revealed that the product was formed in the same selective fashion as in the classic reduction-mode using NAD(P)H-recycling, ensuring that the chiral induction process of the enzymes was unchanged [xi].
- Coupled-substrate C═C-bond reduction of 2-methylcyclohex-2-enone (1) using 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone (2) as hydrogen donor.
- An aliquot of the isolated enzyme YqjM, OYE1, OYE2, (protein purity >90%, protein content 90-110 μg/mL) was added to a Tris-HCl buffer solution (0.8 mL, 50 mM, pH 7.5) containing the substrate 1 (110 mM) and the co-substrate 2 (10 mM). The mixture was shaken at 30 ° C. and 120 rpm for 24 h and products were extracted with EtOAc (2×0.5 mL). The combined organic phases were dried (Na2SO4) and the resulting samples were analyzed on achiral GC. Products were identified by comparison with authentic reference materials via co-injection on GC-MS and achiral GC. Column: 14% cyanopropyl-phenyl phase capillary column (J&W Scientific DB-1701, 30 m, 0.25 mm, 0.25 μm), detector temperature 250° C., split ratio 30:1. Temperature program: 110° C., hold 5 min, rise to 200° C. with 10° C./min, hold 2 min. 2-Methylcyclohexenone (1) 4.38 min; 2-methylcyclohexanone (1a); 3.70 min; 3-methylcyclohexenone (2) 6.27 min; 3-methylphenol (2b) 7.90 min; 2-methylphenol (1b) 7.02 min; 3-methylcyclohexanone (2a) 3.63 min.
- In order to drive the reduction of 1 further towards completion, increasing amounts of co-substrate 2 were employed (cf. scheme above). As can be deduced from the amounts of reduction product 1a formed, elevated co-substrate concentrations had little effect, which is presumably due to enzyme inhibition caused by elevated cosubstrate concentrations. This phenomenon is also common for the asymmetric bioreduction of carbonyl compounds catalysed by alcohol dehydrogenases using the coupled-substrate method.

In this case, the conversion could be significantly improved, which underscores the above mentioned co-substrate inhibition.

The conversion steadily increased, indicating that the enzyme remained catalytically active up to 72 h, which proved that the inhibition was largely reversible (
FIG. 1 ). -
FIG. 1 shows the time course of reduction of 1 using 2 as hydrogen-donor (cf. scheme p. 8). - Aiming to extend the applicability of nicotinamide-free C═C-bond reduction system, we subjected two further substrates (3, 4), which are known to be reduced by enoate reductases in combination with NAD(P)H-recycling, to the hydrogen-transfer protocol in presence of equimolar amounts of beta-methylcyclohex-2-enone (2) as hydrogen donor. In both cases, the reduction proceeded smoothly and furnished the corresponding (R)-configurated products 3a and 4a in the same enantiomeric composition as the nicotinamide-driven process. Among the enzymes tested. YqjM was clearly best.
- Since the use of equimolar amounts of 3-methylcyclohex-2-enone (2) as co-substrate would be economically disastrous, a cheaper alternative for a hydrogen donor was sought. After attempts using 1-indanone and hydroquinone failed, cyclohexane-1,4-dione (5)—yielding 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (hydroquinone, 5a)—as oxidation product was found to provide a suitable alternative. Substrate 3 showed even enhanced conversion as compared to betamethylcyclohex-2-enone (2) as co-substrate.
- Upon closer examination using YqjM, this reaction showed similar effects of reversible co-substrate inhibition, as indicated by the data below. In line with previous observations using 2 as hydrogen donor, the conversion gradually increased from 0 to 25% over a period of 7 days.

- (i) it depends only on a single flavoprotein and neither requires a second (dehydrogenase) recycling enzyme, nor a nicotinamide cofactor, and
- (ii) it has clear advantages to competitive alternative systems, such as the light-driven FAD-recycling [xii] and the electrochemical reduction via a (transition)metal-dependent mediator
