Recently, amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) have attracted much research interest. In this paper, we present the first application of AAILs in chiral separation based on the chiral ligand exchange principle. By using 1alkyl-3-methylimidazolium L-proline (L-Pro) as a chiral ligand coordinated with copper(II), four pairs of underivatized amino acid enantiomers - DLphenylalanine (DL-Phe), DL-histidine (DL-His), DL-tryptophane (DL-Trp), and DL-tyrosine (DL-Tyr) - were successfully separated in two major chiral separation techniques, HPLC and capillary electrophoresis (CE), with higher enantioselectivity than conventionally used amino acid ligands (resolution (Rs) = 3.26-10.81 for HPLC; Rs = 1.34-4.27 for CE). Interestingly, increasing the alkyl chain length of the AAIL cation remarkably enhanced the enantioselectivity. It was inferred that the alkylmethylimidazolium cations and L-Pro form ion pairs on the surface of the sta-tionary phase or on the inner surface of the capillary. The ternary copper complexes with L-Pro are consequently attached to the support surface, thus inducing an ion-exchange type of retention for the DL-enantiomers. Therefore, the AAIL cation plays an essential role in the separation. This work demonstrates that AAILs are good alternatives to conventional amino acid ligands for ligand-exchange-based chiral separation. It also reveals the tremendous application potential of this new type of task-specific ILs.

A new natural diketopiperazine (1) was obtained from the culture broth of Microbispora aerata strain imbas-11A, isolated from penguin excrements collected on the Antarctic Livingston Island. Compound 1 was purified consecutively by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and preparative HPLC. The structure of the compound was elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR experiments and mass spectrometric investigations. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was determined by amino acid analysis and NOESY correlations. A low antiproliferative and cytotoxic effect of trans-cyclo-(D-tryptophanyl-L-tyrosyl) (1) was determined with L-929 mouse fibroblast cells, K-562 human leukemia cells and HeLa human cervix carcinoma. Trans-cyclo-(D-tryptophanyl-L-tyrosyl) (1) did not show antimicrobial activity at a concentration of 50 μg per disc against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptomyces viridochromogenes, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans and Mucor miehei.

Under the guidance of MS/MS-based molecular networking, four new cycloheptapeptides, namely, asperheptatides A-D (1-4), were isolated together with three known analogues, asperversiamide A-C (5-7), from the coral-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor. The planar structures of the two major compounds, asperheptatides A and B (1 and 2), were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configurations of the amino acid residues were determined by advanced Marfey's method. The two structurally related trace metabolites, asperheptatides C and D (3 and 4), were characterized by ESI-MS/MS fragmentation methods. A series of new derivatives (8-26) of asperversiamide A (5) were semisynthesized. The antitubercular activities of 1, 2, and 5-26 against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra were also evaluated. Compounds 9, 13, 23, and 24 showed moderate activities with MIC values of 12.5 μM, representing a potential new class of antitubercular agents.

A histamine derivative of β-cyclodextrin functionalised at the secondary rim was synthesised and characterised by optical and NMR spectroscopy. Its binary systems both with proton and copper(II) were thermodynamically characterised through pH-metric potentiometry. In addition, the ternary systems with the enantiomers of tryptophan, phenylalanine and alanine were investigated. Thermodynamic stereoselectivity was observed for both the tryptophan and phenylalanine enantiomers. The properties of the synthesised cyclodextrin derivative as a chiral selector were verified in chiral ligand-exchange capillary electrophoresis (CLECE) towards the enantiomeric pairs of some amino acids. A β-cyclodextrin histamine-functionalised at the secondary rim was synthesised and characterised as a chiral selector of aromatic amino acids.
Reversal of optical induction in transamination by regioisomeric bifunctionalized cyclodextrins

, p. 709 - 714 (1999)
Two isomeric compounds have been synthesized carrying a pyridoxamine on C-6 of β-cyclodextrin and an imidazole unit on C-6 of the neighboring glucose residue. Each one stereoselectively transaminates phenylpyruvic acid to produce phenylalanine, and with opposite stereochemical preferences. Structure determinations by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy indicate that the imidazole units serve to block proton addition from their side, rather than acting to protonate the transamination intermediates. Related cyclodextrin-pyridoxamine compounds had been reported carrying ethylenediamine units instead of imidazoles, and high enantioselectivities in transamination were claimed. Our work indicates that these claims are incorrect, and that only poor selectivities are seen that are often unrelated to the position of the ethylenediamine units. Neither of these transaminating systems yet approaches the enantioselectivity seen with a pyridoxamine carrying a chirally mounted internal base group. Copyright (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

d-Amino acids are important chiral building blocks for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Previously, we have used d-Succinylase (DSA) from Cupriavidus sp. P4-10-C and N-succinyl amino acid racemase (NSAR, EC.4.2.1.113) from Geobacillus stearothermophilus NCA1503 to produce d-amino acids via the dynamic kinetic resolution of N-succinyl-dl-amino acids. However, the use of this bioconversion system remains challenging for industrial application due to the insufficient enantioselectivity of DSA toward N-succinyl-d-amino acids. Therefore, we screened DSA mutants for improved enantioselectivity by directed evolution. Several mutants showed improved enantioseletivity compared to wild-type DSA. L182E mutant had superior enantioselectivity, and the thermal stability was also remarkably improved by this single mutation. We solved the crystal structure of the L182E mutant in complex with succinic acids at a resolution 2.0 ?. The mutated residues in all generated mutants that showed improved enantioselectivity (including the substituted Glu182 in the L182E mutant) are found very close to the active site. The solved crystal structure also provides some rationale to explain the higher thermostability of the L182E mutant compared to wild-type DSA. d-phenylalanine and d-tryptophan were produced in high conversion (approximately 90%) with 98.8% ee and 99.6% ee, respectively, using coupled L182E DSA and NSAR with the one-pot enzymatic method. These data suggested that L182E DSA may be a useful biocatalyst for industrial d-amino acids production. (Figure presented.).

l to d conversion of unactivated α-amino acids was achieved by solubility-induced diastereomer transformation (SIDT). Ternary complexes of an α-amino acid with 3,5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde and a chiral guanidine (derived from corresponding chiral vicinal diamine) were obtained in good yield as diastereomerically pure imino acid salt complexes and were hydrolysed to obtain enantiopure α-amino acids. A combination of DFT computation, NMR spectroscopy, and crystal structure provide detailed insight into how two types of strong hydrogen bonds assist in rapid epimerization of the complexes that is essential for SIDT.

The preparative-scale separation of chiral compounds is vitally important for the pharmaceutical industry and related fields. Herein we report a simple approach for rapid preparative separation of enantiomers using functional nucleic acids modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The separation of DL-tryptophan (DL-Trp) is demonstrated as an example to show the feasibility of the approach. AuNPs modified with enantioselective aptamers were added into a racemic mixture of DL-Trp. The aptamer-specific enantiomer (L-Trp) binds to the AuNPs surface through aptamer-L-Trp interaction. The separation of DL-Trp is then simply accomplished by centrifugation: the precipitate containing L-Trp bounded AuNPs is separated from the solution, while the D-Trp remains in the supernatant. The precipitate is then redispersed in water. The aptamer is denatured under 95 °C and a second centrifugation is then performed, resulting in the separation of AuNPs and L-Trp. The supernatant is finally collected to obtain pure L-Trp in water. The results show that the racemic mixture of DL-Trp is completely separated into D-Trp and L-Trp, respectively, after 5 rounds of repeated addition of fresh aptamer-modified AuNPs to the DL-Trp mixture solution. Additionally, the aptamer-modified AuNPs can be repeatedly used for at least eight times without significant loss of its binding ability because the aptamer can be easily denatured and renatured in relatively mild conditions. The proposed approach could be scaled up and extended to the separation of other enantiomers by the adoption of other enantioselective aptamers.

Diverse α-keto acids were transformed into the corresponding α-amino acids enantiomeric excess ranging from 60 to 96percent by the reaction with chiral pyridoxamine analog, (R)- or (S)-15-aminomethyl-14-hydroxy-5,5-dimethyl-2,8-dithia(2,5)pyridinophane (4), and Zn2+ in the molar ratio of 2:1, in methanol.The use of the S enantiomer of 4 gave (R)-α-amino acids, and vice versa.

Page/Page column 6; 10-11; 17, (2021/04/01)
Single-module nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) and NRPS-like enzymes activate and transform carboxylic acids in both primary and secondary metabolism; and are of great interest due to their biocatalytic potentials. The single-module NRPS IvoA is essential for fungal pigment biosynthesis. As disclosed herein, we show that IvoA catalyzes ATP-dependent unidirectional stereoinversion of L-tryptophan to D-tryptophan with complete conversion. While the stereoinversion is catalyzed by the epimerization (E) domain, the terminal condensation (C) domain stereoselectively hydrolyzes D-tryptophanyl-S-phosphopantetheine thioester and thus represents a noncanonical C domain function. Using IvoA, we demonstrate a biocatalytic stereoinversion/deracemization route to access a variety of substituted D-tryptophan analogs in high enantiomeric excess.
