Çakmak, Fadile; Özdemir, Akın; Dertli, Enes; Şahin, Engin
Optically active alcohols are crucial precursors. 1,2-Diarylethanols and their analogues constitute a significant group of substances of biological significance. The biocatalytic synthesis of (R)-1,2-diphenylethanol ((R)-2), which can be utilized as a precursor to important drugs, is still not at the desired level in terms of substrate amount and production process. This study asymmetrically reduced 1,2-diphenylethanone (1) using the Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 biocatalyst and a novel orthogonal quadratic design-embedded optimization approach. The following reaction optimization conditions were determined using the suggested optimization technique: pH = 6, temperature = 31 °C, incubation period = 48 h, and agitation speed=134 rpm. In addition, the reaction conversion was estimated to be 99.38 %, and the product's enantiomeric excess (ee) was estimated to be 99.12 %. Further, (R)-2 was produced with >99 % ee, >99 % conversion, and 98 % yield in the experimental investigation under the established optimum conditions. This study is the first attempt to reduce substrate 1 to (R) or (S)-2 using a mathematical optimization method in the presence of a biocatalyst. Furthermore, on a high-gram scale, 1 (15.70 g) was entirely transformed into (R)-2 (15.54 g, 98 % isolated yield). Notably, this study is also the first to perform the gram-scale production of (R)-2 using a novel optimization approach and a biocatalyst. Finally, the innovative and novel orthogonal quadratic design-embedded optimization technique has been demonstrated as an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly biocatalytic procedure for synthesizing (R)-2.

Özdemir, Akın; Şahin, Engin
Chirality plays a significant part in life since it is closely linked to carrying out the many metabolic processes that make up a living being. Chiral secondary alcohols such as diaryl-, aryl heteroaryl-, and diheteroaryl are employed in pharmaceuticals as drug intermediates. Although biocatalytic asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones containing aromatic and heteroaromatic groups is widely known, biocatalytic reduction of heteroaromatic prochiral ketones containing sulfur heteroatoms is rarely known. Very few studies exist in the literature, including the biocatalytic reduction of phenyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanone (1). Moreover, the biocatalytic reduction of 1 with a mathematical modelling and optimization technique is unknown until now. In this study, Weissella paramesenteroides N7 biocatalyst for the asymmetric bioreduction of 1 using a novel modified distance optimization method. Optimization conditions were found as pH = 6.46, temperature = 26 °C, incubation period = 71 h, agitation speed = 200 rpm by the modified distance optimization method, and it was determined that the conversion and enantiomeric excess (ee) under these conditions could be 98.7% and 98%, respectively. Under these proposed optimization conditions, (S)-phenyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanol ((S)-2) was obtained with >99% ee, >99% conversion, and 97% yield. In addition, 11.29 g of 1 was completely converted into (S)-2 (11.07 g, 97% isolated yield) under optimized conditions. This is the first report about the fabrication of enantiopure (S)-2 in high gram scale using a biocatalyst and a novel modified distance optimization technique. In this study, the successful applicability of the new modified distance optimization method in biocatalytic asymmetric reduction reactions has been successfully demonstrated.

Özdemir, Akın; Şahin, Engin
Whole-cell biocatalysts have been a popular method for the preparation of chiral alcohols. Although asymmetric reduction of cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanone (1) by chemical catalysts is common, a biocatalytic asymmetric reduction is extremely rare. In this respect, we report herein that Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides N13 was successfully employed as a biocatalyst to reduce 1 to (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol ((S)-2). Furthermore, the use of a mathematical optimization strategy for asymmetric reduction of substrate 1 is not known in the current literature. The new distance-based design-focused optimization model was used to enhance the conversion of the substrate, enantiomeric excess (ee) of product, and yield. The distance-based design-focused optimization model identified the following optimal bioreduction conditions: pH=6.46, temperature=30°C, incubation period=72 hours, and agitation speed=199 rpm. Then it was stated that under these ideal conditions, (S)-2 may be produced with 99 % ee and 98.46 % conversion rate (cr). (S)-2 was achieved with 99% ee, and 99% cr as a consequence of the experimental reaction carried out under the indicated optimization conditions. It has been shown that Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides N13 can be utilized as a biocatalyst in asymmetric reduction reactions. This study, in addition to being the first example of a bioreduction of substrate 1 by mathematical optimization, also demonstrates for the first time the distance-based design-focused model can be used in the bioreduction reaction.

Kalay, Erbay; Şahin, Engin
There is a considerable interest in the asymmetric production of chiral allylic alcohols, the main building blocks of many functional molecules. The asymmetric reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones is difficult with traditional chemical protocols in a regioselective and stereoselective manner. In this study, the reductive capacity of whole cell of Leuconostoc mesenteroides N6, Weissella paramesenteroides N7, Weissella cibaria N9, and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides N13 was investigated as whole-cell biocatalysts in the enantioselective reduction of (E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-one (1). The biocatalytic reduction of 1 to (S,E)-4-phenylbut-3-en-2-ol ((S,E)-2) using the whole cell of W. cibaria N9 isolated from Turkish sourdough was developed in a regioselective fashion, occurring with excellent conversion and recovering the product in good yield. In biocatalytic reduction reactions, the conversion of the substrate and the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the product are significantly affected by optimization parameters such as temperature, agitation rate, pH, and incubation time. Effects of these parameters on ee and conversion were investigated comprehensively. In addition, to our knowledge, this is the first report on production of (S,E)-2 using whole-cell biocatalyst in excellent yield, conversion with enantiopure form and at gram scale. These findings pave the way for the use of whole cell of W. cibaria N9 for challenging higher substrate concentrations of different α,β-unsaturated ketones for regioselective reduction at industrial scale.

Recently, optimization of the bioreduction reactions by optimization methodologies has gained special interest as these reactions are affected by several extrinsic factors that should be optimized for higher yields. An important example for these kinds of reactions is the complete cell implications for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones in which the culture parameters play crucial roles. Such biocatalysts provide environmentally friendly and clean methodology to perform reactions under mild conditions with high conversion rates. In the present work, at the first step the Lactobacillus senmaizuke was isolated from sourdough and the complete cell application of Lactobacillus senmaizuke for the bioreduction of acetophenone was optimized by an Artificial Neural networks (ANNs) to achieve the highest enantiomeric excess (EE, %). The culture parameters, pH, temperature, incubation period and agitation speed were the experimental factors that were optimized to maximize EE (%) by machine learning algorithm of Artificial Intelligence modeling and the best conditions to maximize EE (95.5 %) were calculated to be pH of 5.7, temperature of 35 ºC, incubation period of 76 h and agitation speed of 240 rpm with very low sum of squared error value (0.611236 %) to bioreduce acetophenone using complete cell of Lactobacillus senmaizuke as a sourdough isolate GRAS microbial species. Accordingly, The ANN was employed to correctly establish the enantiomeric excess values of the specimen with an average absolute error 0.080739 %.

Green chemistry includes a novel process in the production of drugs precursors and biological active molecules using biocatalysts, so reducing the threats for human sanitary and ecological pollutions. Asymmetric bioreduction of prochiral ketones by biocatalysts is one of the best prevalent used methods in synthetic organic chemistry due to the production of enantiopure chiral carbinols. This study emphasizes the application biocatalyst L paracasei BD101 for enantioselective bioreduction of 2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-one ketone, which contain branched alkyl chain, to (R)-2-methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-ol ((R)-2) in high yields and excellent enantiomeric excess (>99%). The scale-up production was performed, and 4.61 g of (R)-2 in enantiopure form was synthesized. L paracasei BD101 was proved to be a substantial biocatalyst in asymmetric bioreduction of a ketone which contains a branched alkyl chain. There is not any work in the literature similar to our study. Hence, it is important to work on filling this gap. This study is the first example for an enantiopure synthesis of (R)-2 by a biocatalyst. The new green method was developed for bioreduction of bulky ketones, which contains a branched alkyl chain, and it approves the synthesis of novel chiral carbinols in an easy, cheap, and environmentally friendly condition using L paracasei BD101.

Asymmetric reduction studies of heteroaryl ketones, including phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone in enantioselective form with biocatalysts are very few, and chiral heteroaryl alcohols have been synthesized generally in the small scale. In this study, seven bacterial strains have been used to produce the (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol in high enantiomeric excess and yield. Among the tested strains, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101, was found to be the best biocatalyst for the reducing phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone to the (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol at gram scale. The asymmetric bioreduction conditions were systematically optimized using L. paracasei BD101, which demonstrated excellent enantioselectivity and high level of conversion for the bioreduction reaction. (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol, which is an analgesic, was produced enantiomerically pure form in the first time on gram scale using a biocatalyst. In total, 5.857 g of (S)-phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanol in enantiomerically pure form (>99% enantiomeric excess) was obtained in 52 h with 93% yield using whole cells of L. paracasei BD101. Enantiomerically pure (S)-phenyl (pyridin-2-yl)methanol, which is an analgesic, was first produced in the gram scale using a biocatalyst with excellent ee (>99%) and yield (93%).

Piperonyl ring is found in a number of naturally occurring compounds and possesses enormous biological activities. There are many studies in the literature with compounds containing a piperonyl ring, but there are very few studies on the synthesis of chiral piperonyl carbinol. The objective of this study was to determine the microbial reduction ability of bacterial strains and to reveal the effects of different physicochemical parameters on this reduction ability. A total of 15 bacterial isolates were screened for their ability to reduce 1-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl) ethanone 1 to its corresponding alcohol. Among these isolates Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 was found to be the most successful biocatalyst to reduce the ketone containing piperonyl ring to the corresponding alcohol. The reaction conditions were systematically optimized for the reducing agent L paracasei BD101, which showed high enantioselectivity and conversion for the bioreduction. The preparative scale study was performed, and a total of 3.72 g of (R)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl) ethanol in high enantiomeric form (>99% enantiomeric excess) was produced in a mild, cheap, and environment-friendly process. This study demonstrates that L paracasei BD101 can be used as a biocatalyst to obtain chiral carbinol with excellent yield and selectivity.

Yılmaz, Durmuşhan; Şahin, Engin; Dertli, Enes
Chiral secondary alcohols are valuable intermediates for many important enantiopure pharmaceuticals and biologically active molecules. In this work, we studied asymmetric reduction of aromatic ketones to produce the corresponding chiral secondary alcohols using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as new biocatalysts. Seven LAB strains were screened for their ability to reduce acetophenones to their corresponding alcohols. Among these strains, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 was found to be the most successful at reducing the ketones to the corresponding alcohols. The reaction conditions were further systematically optimized for this strain and high enantioselectivity (99%) and very good yields were obtained. These secondary alcohols were further tested for their antimicrobial activities against important pathogens and significant levels of antimicrobial activities were observed although these activities were altered depending on the secondary alcohols as well as their enantiomeric properties. The current methodology demonstrates a promising and alternative green approach for the synthesis of chiral secondary alcohols of biological importance in a cheap, mild, and environmentally useful process.
