Two-Enzyme Hydrogen-Borrowing Amination of Alcohols Enabled by a Cofactor-Switched Alcohol Dehydrogenase
Thompson, Matthew P.,Turner, Nicholas J.
, p. 3833 - 3836 (2017)
The NADPH-dependent secondary alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus (TeSADH), displaying broad substrate specificity and low enantioselectivity, was engineered to accept NADH as a cofactor. The engineered TeSADH showed a >10 000-fold switch from NADPH towards NADH compared to the wildtype enzyme. This TeSADH variant was applied to a biocatalytic hydrogen-borrowing system that employed catalytic amounts of NAD+, ammonia, and an amine dehydrogenase, which thereby enabled the conversion a range of alcohols into chiral amines.
Successful use of a novel lux i-Amylose-1 chiral column for enantioseparation of “legal highs” by HPLC
Kadkhodaei, Kian,Kadisch, Marlene,Schmid, Martin G.

Bath salts, fumigations, cleaners and air fresheners, behind these terms substances are hidden, which count as “Legal Highs”. These fancy names are used to pretend Legal Highs as harmless compounds, to circumvent legal regulations for marketing as well as to increase the sales. Besides classic illicit drugs of synthetic origin such as amphetamines, cocaine and MDMA, the trade of these compounds, also known as new psychoactive substances (NPS), is not uncommon today. In many countries, NPS are still not subject to drug control. Among them, there are stimulants such as new amphetamine derivatives or cathinones, which possess a chiral centre. Little is known about the fact that the two possible enantiomers may differ in their pharmacological effect. The aim of this study was to test a novel HPLC column for the enantioseparation of a set of 112 NPS coming from different chemical groups and collected by internet purchases during the years 2010–2018. The CSP, namely Lux 5?μm i-Amylose-1, LC Column 250 x 4.6?mm, was run in normal phase mode under isocratic conditions, UV detection was performed at 245?nm and 230?nm, injection volume was 10?μl and flow rate was 1?ml/min. With a mobile phase consisting of n-hexane/isopropanol/diethylamine (90:10:0.1), herein, 79 NPS were resolved into their enantiomers successfully, for 37 of them baseline resolution was achieved. After increase of lipophily of the mobile phase to 99:1:0.1, another 27 compounds were baseline separated. It was found that all separated NPS are traded as racemic compounds.
Asymmetric synthesis of primary amines catalyzed by thermotolerant fungal reductive aminases

Chiral primary amines are important intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds. Fungal reductive aminases (RedAms) are NADPH-dependent dehydrogenases that catalyse reductive amination of a range of ketones with short-chain primary amines supplied in an equimolar ratio to give corresponding secondary amines. Herein we describe structural and biochemical characterisation as well as synthetic applications of two RedAms fromNeosartoryaspp. (NfRedAm andNfisRedAm) that display a distinctive activity amongst fungal RedAms, namely a superior ability to use ammonia as the amine partner. Using these enzymes, we demonstrate the synthesis of a broad range of primary amines, with conversions up to >97% and excellent enantiomeric excess. Temperature dependent studies showed that these homologues also possess greater thermal stability compared to other enzymes within this family. Their synthetic applicability is further demonstrated by the production of several primary and secondary amines with turnover numbers (TN) up to 14 000 as well as continous flow reactions, obtaining chiral amines such as (R)-2-aminohexane in space time yields up to 8.1 g L?1h?1. The remarkable features ofNfRedAmand NfisRedAm highlight their potential for wider synthetic application as well as expanding the biocatalytic toolbox available for chiral amine synthesis.
