Two enantiocomplementary imine reductases (IREDs) with high enantioselectivity were identified with catalytic activity toward the reduction of 1-heteroaryl dihydroisoquinolines through a screening of wild-type IREDs and enzyme engineering. Furthermore, ()-IR141-L172M/Y267F and ()-IR40 were applied to access a series of different 1-heteroaryl tetrahydroisoquinolines with high to excellent ee values (82 to >99%) and isolated yields (80 to 94%), thereby providing an effective method to construct this class of pharmaceutically important alkaloids, such as the intermediate of kinase inhibitor TAK-981.
通过对野生型亚胺还原酶(IREDs)的筛选和酶工程,鉴定出两种对1-杂芳基二氢异喹啉还原具有高对映选择性的对映互补IREDs。此外,()-IR141-L172M/Y267F和()-IR40被用于制备一系列不同的1-杂芳基四氢异喹啉,其对映体过量值(ee值)高至优异(82%至>99%),分离产率为80%至94%,从而提供了一种构建这类具有药学重要性的生物碱的有效方法,例如激酶抑制剂TAK-981的中间体。
