Poly(ethylene glycol)-lipase complexes that are highly active and enantioselective in ionic liquids

Lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis between vinyl acetate and 2-phenyl-1-propanol was investigated in dialkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids. Although native lipase powder exhibited very low activity in an ionic liquid, forming a poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)-lipase complex improved the lipase activity in the ionic liquid. The activity of the PEG-lipase complex was higher in ionic liquids than in common organic solvents (n-hexane, isooctane and dimethylsulfoxide). Fluorescence measurements using 4-aminophthalimide revealed that the ionic liquids were more hydrophilic than the organic solvents used for non-aqueous enzymology. A kinetic study of lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis in an ionic liquid ([Bmim][PF6]) revealed that the Michaelis constant (Km) for 2-phenyl-1-propanol in the ionic liquid was half that in n-hexane, suggesting that the ionic liquid stabilized the enzyme-substrate complex. Finally, we carried out enantioselective alcoholysis of 1-phenylethanol in ionic liquids employing the PEG-lipase complex, and obtained high enantioselectivity, comparable to that in n-hexane.

Enzymatic resolution of (RS)-2-arylpropionic acid thioesters by Candida rugosa lipase-catalyzed thiotransesterification or hydrolysis in organic solvents

An enzymatic resolution process was developed to produce (S)-naproxen ester, (S)-naproxen or (S)-ibuprofen from the corresponding racemic thioesters by using lipase-catalyzed thiotransesterification or hydrolysis in organic solvents. Enzyme activity is greatly enhanced when activated naproxen thioesters containing an electron-withdrawing group are the substrates. Unlike other lipases, Candida rugosa lipase may discern the sulfur moiety of the thioesters, and yields lower enzyme activity when compared to the corresponding oxygen-containing analogues. Enzyme performances were further compared under various conditions, i.e. different combinations of reaction type (thiotransesterification or hydrolysis), solvent (isooctane or cyclohexane), substrate (naproxen or ibuprofen thioesters) and lipase sources.

Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of (S)-naproxen ester prodrug by transesterification in organic solvents

A lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification process was developed for the synthesis of (S)-naproxen 2-N-morpholinoethyl ester prodrug from racemic 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl naproxen ester in organic solvents. By selecting isooctane and 37°C as the best solvent and temperature, the apparent fits of the initial conversion rates for transesterification and hydrolysis side reaction suggest a ping-pong Bi-Bi enzymatic mechanism with the alcohol as a competitive enzyme inhibitor. Improvements in the initial conversion rate and the productivity for the desired (S)-ester product were obtained after comparing with the result of an enantioselective esterification process. Studies of water content in isooctane and alcohol containing various N,N-dialkylamino groups on the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity, as well as the recovery of (S)-ester product by using extraction, were also reported.     

The utility of cyclodextrins in lipase-catalyzed transesterification in organic solvents: enhanced reaction rate and enantioselectivity

The use of enzymes as valuable catalysts in organic solvents has been well documented. However, some of their features limit their application in organic synthesis, especially the frequently lower enzyme activity under nonaqueous conditions, which constitutes a major drawback in the application of enzymes in organic solvents. In addition, many enzymatic reactions are subject to substrate or product inhibition, leading to a decrease in the reaction rate and enantioselectivity. To overcome these drawbacks and to make enzymes more appealing to organic chemists, we demonstrate the use of cyclodextrins as regulators for the Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL) and macrocyclic additives to enhance the reaction rate and enantioselectivity E in lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification of 1-(2-furyl)ethanol in organic solvents. Both reaction rate and enantioselectivity were significantly enhanced by several orders of magnitude when using co-lyophilized lipase in the presence of cyclodextrins. The effect of cyclodextrin derivatives as well as solvents on the improvement of the reaction parameters has been studied. The observed enhancement was tentatively interpreted in terms of their ability to give a certain flexibility to the enzyme and to form a host-guest complex, thus avoiding product inhibition and leading to enhancement of the reaction rate and enantioselectivity. The effect of cyclodextrin additives on the enzyme morphology has been studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) of the co-lyophilized lipase with cyclodextrins. The ability of cyclodextrins to form a host-guest complex to avoid product inhibition, which leads to the observed enhancement, has been proved by NOESY, COSY, 13C and 1H NMR.

少量离子液体对有机相R.miehei脂肪酶催化合成辛酸戊酯的影响

研究了疏水性离子液体[BMIM][PF6]对脂肪酶R. miehei有机相催化合成辛酸戊酯反应的影响,并结合荧光发射光谱分析R. miehei构象变化与酶活性表达的关联。结果表明,该酯化反应在饱和烷烃中的初速度比在芳烃中的大,且当溶剂logP为1.5～3.5时,反应初速度随logP的增加而降低。在不同有机溶剂中,加入占辛酸质量1%的[BMIM][PF6]均导致反应初速度降低15%左右,降低幅度几乎不与溶剂种类有关。表明[BMIM][PF6]对该反应的影响与所在溶剂系统无关,而只与离子液体的加入有关。[BMIM][PF6]加入量为辛酸质量1%～3%时,以壬烷为溶剂时的反应初速度随[BMIM][PF6]加入量的增加而降低,进一步表明离子液体的加入量是影响反应初速度的重要因素。荧光光谱分析表明,酶活性的表现与酶分子的构象变化有一定的相关性。     

Enzymatic Reactions using Ionic Liquids for Green Sustainable Chemical Process; Stabilization and Activation of Lipases

The enzymatic reaction is highly respected from an environmentally-friendly point-of-view. Optimization of the reaction media and supporting materials of enzymes must be investigated in parallel with the effort to develop new enzymes. Lipases are frequently used for organic syntheses as synthetic tools even industry because of their acceptance of having a broad range of substrates, stability, and availability. We have investigated the possibility of ILs as both a solvent and activating or stabilization agent of enzymes, in particular, lipase as a model enzyme. ILs allowed recyclable use of a lipase and significant acceleration of transesterification, and also enhanced the stability and reaction activity of a lipase by immobilization through a lyophilization process. We discuss how we enhanced the enzyme capability using the IL engineering focusing on lipase-catalyzed reactions, i. e., realization of the recyclable use of an enzyme, how ILs mediated the enhanced reaction rate, and improved the stability of the enzyme.     

Synthesis of Vitamin E Succinate from Candida rugosa Lipase in Organic Medium

A screening of commercially available lipases for the synthesis of vitamin E succinate showed that lipase from Candida rugosa presented the highest yield. The synthesis of vitamin E succinate in organic solvents with different lgP values ranging from -1.3 to 3.5 was investigated. Of particular interest was that dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) with the lowest lgP exhibited the highest yield among all the organic solvents used. It suggests that lgP is incapable of satisfactorily predicting the biocompatibility of organic solvents due to the complexity of enzymatic reaction with hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrates in organic solvent. Effects of different operating conditions, such as molar ratio of substrate, enzyme concentration, reaction temperature, mass transfer, and reaction time were also studied. Under the optimum conditions of 10 g/L enzyme, a stirring rate of 100 r/min, a substrate molar ratio of 5:1 at 55℃ for 18 h, a satisfactory yield(46.95%) was obtained. The developed method has a potential to be used for efficient enzymatic production of vitamin E succinate.

Increased enantioselectivity and remarkable acceleration of lipase-catalyzed transesterification by using an imidazolium PEG-alkyl sulfate ionic liquid

Several types of imidazolium salt ionic liquids were prepared derived from poly(oxyethylene)alkyl sulfate and used as an additive or coating material for lipase-catalyzed transesterification in an organic solvent. A remarkably increased enantioselectivity was obtained when the salt was added at 3-10 mol % versus substrate in the Burkholderia cepacia lipase (lipase PS-C)-catalyzed transesterification of 1-phenylethanol by using vinyl acetate in diisopropyl ether or a hexane solvent system. In particular, a remarkable acceleration was accomplished by the ionic liquid coating with lipase PS in an iPr(2)O solvent system while maintaining excellent enantioselectivity; it reached approximately 500- to 1000-fold acceleration for some substrates with excellent enantioselectivity. A similar acceleration was also observed for IL 1-coated Candida rugosa lipase. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry experiments of the ionic-liquid-coated lipase PS suggest that ionic liquid binds with lipase protein.

Effect of the Pretreatment of Lipase with Organic Solvents on its Conformation and Activity in Reverse Micelles

The activity and conformation of Chromobacterium viscosum lipase-pretreated with various organic solvents were investigated. The pretreatment of lipase led to a substantial increase of enzyme activity in AOT (sodium bis [2-ethyl -1-hexyl] sulfosuccinate)/isooctane/water reverse micelles. Among the organic solvents used, n-hexane was found to be most effective. It was observed that higher hexane content with shorter agitation time and vice versa had almost the same effect on the initial activity of lipase. The kinetic study showed that the Michaelis constant (K _m) and the substrate adsorption equilibrium constant (K _ad) were reduced by the pretreatment of lipase with hexane, whereas the change in the maximum reaction rate (V _max) was insignificant. The two spectroscopic techniques (Fluorescence spectra of lipase encapsulated in RMs and Fourier transform infrared [FTIR] spectra of lipase powders) were performed to detect possible conformational changes in the enzyme caused by the pretreatment. A correlation between the maximum fluorescence intensity and the activity of treated lipase was found as a function of agitation time. The FTIR spectrum of lipase showed a new shape peak corresponding to 1,500 cm⁻¹ as a result of pretreatment with organic solvents.
