α-Ketoglutaramic acid (KGM, α-ketoglutaramate), also known as 2-oxoglutaramic acid (OGM, 2-oxoglutaramate), is a substrate of ω-amidase, also known as Nitrilase 2 (NIT2), and is essential for studying the canonical role of ω-amidase, as well as its role in multiple diseases. Until now, KGM used for biological studies has been prepared most often by the enzymatic oxidation of l-glutamine using snake venom l-amino acid oxidase, which provides KGM as an aqueous solution, containing by-products including 5-oxoproline and α-ketoglutarate. The enzymatic method for KGM preparation, therefore, cannot provide pure product or an accurate percent yield evaluation. Here, we report a synthetic method for the preparation of this important substrate, KGM, in 3 steps, from l-2-hydroxyglutaramic acid, in pure form, in 53% overall yield.
α-酮戊二酸(KGM,α-酮戊二酸盐),也称为 2-氧代戊二酸(OGM,2-氧代戊二酸盐),是ω-酰胺酶的底物,也称为腈酶 2(NIT2),是研究ω-酰胺酶的典型作用以及其在多种疾病中的作用的必要条件。到目前为止,用于生物学研究的 KGM 最常通过蛇毒 l-氨基酸氧化酶对 l-谷氨酰胺进行酶促氧化来制备,该方法提供 KGM 作为水溶液,包含副产物包括 5-氧代脯氨酸和α-酮戊二酸。因此,酶法制备 KGM 无法提供纯产物或准确的产率评估。在这里,我们报告了一种从 l-2-羟基戊二酸出发,经 3 步反应,以纯形式制备这种重要底物 KGM 的合成方法,总收率为 53%。
