A new reductase, CgKR2, with the ability to reduce ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (OPBE) to ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate ((R)-HPBE), an important chiral precursor for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, was discovered. For the first time, (R)-HPBE with >99% ee was produced via bioreduction of OPBE at 1 M without external addition of cofactors. The space-time yield (700 g·L(-1)·d(-1)) was 27 times higher than the highest record.
一种新的还原酶 CgKR2 被发现,它能够将乙基 2-氧代-4-苯基丁酸酯 (OPBE) 还原为(R)-2-羟基-4-苯基丁酸乙酯 ((R)-HPBE),(R)-HPBE 是血管紧张素转换酶 (ACE) 抑制剂的重要手性前体。首次在无需外加辅因子的情况下,在 1 M 下通过 OPBE 的生物还原反应生产出 ee 值大于 99%的 (R)-HPBE。时空产率(700 g·L(-1)·d(-1))比最高记录高出 27 倍。
