Asymmetric bioreductions catalyzed by biocatalysts have demonstrated great promise in manufacturing chiral alcohols. On the other hand, the synthesis of (S)-(4-chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol ((S)-2), precursors of L-cloprastine and carbinoxamine, still presents considerable challenges due to the inadequate substrate quantity and production process. In this work, a novel rotatable composite design-based optimization technique was used with the Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 biocatalyst for the asymmetric reduction of (4-chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanone (1). Optimization conditions of the reaction were determined by the proposed optimization strategy as: pH=5.85, temperature=37 °C, incubation time=71 h, and agitation speed=120 rpm. The reaction conversion and the product of enantiomeric excess (ee) were also predicted to be 97% and 99%, respectively. In the experimental study performed under the determined optimized conditions, (S)-2 was obtained with >99% ee, >99% conversion, and 97% yield. In addition, 1 with the amount of 15.166 g was completely converted to (S)-2 (14.85 g, 97% isolated yield) on a high-gram scale. Notice that the manufacture of (S)-2 on a gram scale utilizing a biocatalyst and an optimization technique is demonstrated in this work for the first time. Finally, an economical, effective, and environmentally friendly biocatalytic process for the biocatalytic synthesis of (S)-2, which have antitussive and antiemetic properties and relax the bronchial muscle, has been demonstrated by the novel rotatable composite design-based optimization method.

Global sales of single enantiomeric drug products are growing at an alarming rate every year. A total of 7 bacterial strains were screened for their ability to reduce acetophenones to its corresponding alcohol. Among these strains Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 was found to be the most successful biocatalyst to reduce the ketones to the corresponding alcohols. The reaction conditions were systematically optimized for the reducing agent Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6, which showed high enantioselectivity and conversion for the bioreduction. The preparative scale asymmetric reduction of 3-methoxyacetophenone (1h) by Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 gave (R)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethanol (2h) with 92% yield and 99% enantiomeric excess. Compound 2h could be used for the synthesis of (S)-rivastigmine which has a great potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. This study demonstrates that Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 can be used as a biocatalyst to obtain chiral carbinol with excellent yield and selectivity. The whole cell catalyzed the reductions of ketone substrates on the preparative scale, demonstrating that Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 would be a valuable biocatalyst for the preparation of chiral aromatic alcohols of pharmaceutical interest.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2017Scopus SJRQ2Highly Enantioselective Production of Chiral Secondary Alcohols with Candida zeylanoides as a New Whole Cell Biocatalyst
Şahin, Engin; Dertli, Enes
The increasing demand for biocatalysts in synthesizing enantiomerically pure chiral alcohols results from the outstanding characteristics of biocatalysts in reaction, economic, and ecological issues. Herein, fifteen yeast strains belonging to three food originated yeast species Candida zeylanoides, Pichia fermentans, and Saccharomyces uvarum were tested for their capability for asymmetric reduction of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol as biocatalysts. Of these strains, C. zeylanoides P1 showed an effective asymmetric reduction ability. Under optimized conditions, substituted acetophenones were converted to corresponding optically active secondary alcohols in up to 99% enantiomeric excess and at high yields. The preparative scale asymmetric bioreduction of 4-nitroacetophenone (1m) by C. zeylanoides P1 gave (S)-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol (2m) with 89% yield and > 99% enantiomeric excess. Compound 2m has been obtained in an enantiomerically pure and inexpensive form. Additionally, these results indicate that C. zeylanoides P1 is a promising biocatalyst for the synthesis of chiral alcohols in industry.
