- the present invention is directed to organic compounds from a starting compound which exhibit biological activity. This has been accomplished through the use of highly specific biocatalyt c reactions.
- Enzymes are highly selective catalysts. Their hallmark is the ability to catalyze reactions with extraordinarily stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivities that are unparalleled in conventional synthetic chemistry. Moreover, enzymes are remarkably versatile. They can be tailored to function in organic solvents, operate at extreme pH's and temperatures, and catalyze reactions with compounds that are structurally unrelated to their natural, physiological substrates.
- Enzymes are reactive toward a wide range of natural and unnatural substrates, thus enabling the modification of virtually any organic lead compound. Moreover, unlike
- enzymes are highly enantio- and regio-selective.
- the high degree of functional group specificity exhibited by enzymes enables one to keep track of each reaction in a synthetic sequence leading to a new active compound.
- Enzymes are also capable of catalyzing many diverse reactions unrelated to their physiological function in nature. For example, peroxidases catalyze the oxidation of phenois by hydrogen peroxide. Peroxidasss can also catalyze
- proteases which catalyze the breakdown of polypeptides.
- organic solution some proteases can also acylate sugars, a function unrelated to the native function of these enzymes.
- the present invention exploits the unique catalytic properties of enzymes. Whereas the use of biocatalysts (i.e., purified or crude enzymes, non-living or living cells) in chemical transformations normally requires the identification of a particular biocatalyst that reacts with a specific starting compound, the present invention uses selected
- biocatalysts and reaction conditions that are specific for functional groups that are present in many starting compounds.
- Each biocatalyst is specific for one functional group, or several related functional groups, and can react with many starting compounds containing this functional group.
- the biocatalytic reactions can be used to produce a population of derivatives from a single starting compound. These derivatives can be subjected to another round of
- biocatalytic reactions to produce a second population of derivative compounds. Thousands of variations of the original compound can be produced with each iteration of biocatalytic derivatization.
- the enzymatic reactions may be

- the magnetic biocatalyst is removed from the biocatalytic reaction mixture to terminate the biocatalytic reaction. This is accomplished by applying an external magnetic field causing the magnetic particles with the
- biocatalytic reactions can also be performed using biocatalysts immobilized on any surface which provides for the convenient addition and removal of biocatalyst from the biocatalytic reaction mixture thus accomplishing a sequential series of distinct and independent biocatalytic reactions producing a series of modified starting compounds.
