Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of biotechnology synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide by enzymatic conversion. Background Art

[0002] β-Nicotinamide mononucleotide (β-NMN or NMN) is the precursor of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, also known as coenzyme 1). As the research on NMN is carried out in depth, it is found that it has a variety of biological functions, such as therapeutic effects on cardiovascular and brain diseases, elderly neurodegenerative diseases, and anti-aging. At present, NMN has great development potential and market prospects in functional health foods. Some developed countries have approved it to enter the market as a health food raw material, such as Geneport. This prompted researchers to conduct deeper research and development on the preparation process of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide.

[0003] There are many reports on the preparation methods of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide, mainly including chemical synthesis, enzymatic method (semi-enzymatic method and full-enzymatic method) and fermentation method. Different methods have different disadvantages, as follows:

[0004] Chemical synthesis produces racemates, making it difficult to separate isomers. In addition, the raw materials are expensive and the separation cost is high, making it difficult to achieve industrial production.

[0005] The fermentation method uses niacinamide or nicotinamide as raw materials and relies on microbial fermentation. Although the cost is reduced, the fermentation level is low, the subsequent processing is difficult, and it is difficult to obtain qualified products.

[0006] The whole enzyme method uses D-ribose and nicotinamide as starting materials, and catalyzes the reaction to obtain NMN under the action of ribokinase, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase. This method has a large number of intermediates, which is difficult to separate and purify, has a low overall yield and a high production cost.

[0007] The semi-enzymatic method is an effective method that is widely used in industrial production. It uses nicotinamide riboside (NR) as the starting material and obtains NMN in one step under the action of nicotinamide riboside kinase and ATP. However, the semi-enzymatic method has the problem of large ATP dosage, and as the equimolar reaction of ATP and nicotinamide riboside proceeds, a large amount of byproduct AMP will be produced, which increases the workload of subsequent processing, has a long reaction time, and a low conversion rate of only about 90%, with a total yield of 75%.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a new process flow with low cost, high conversion rate and few by-products is of great significance for the production of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, the first aspect of the invention of the present application aims to provide a method for synthesizing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide by enzymatic conversion, by selecting the enzyme and the phosphate donor, so that the synthesis process of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide has the characteristics of low cost, high conversion rate and few by-products.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0012] In some embodiments, the raw material includes the following components in parts by weight:

[0013] Nicotinamide Riboside 50-90 parts

[0014] Acetylphosphodiamine salt 70-150 parts

[0015] 1-4 parts of adenosine triphosphate disodium salt

[0016] In some embodiments, the enzyme activity ratio of nicotinamide riboside kinase to the phosphotransferase in the enzyme solution is 1:(0.1-100) based on the enzyme activity ratio.

[0017] In some embodiments, the raw material is mixed with water to prepare an aqueous solution, the pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to 6.5-7.5, and an enzyme solution is added to carry out a conversion reaction.

[0018] In some embodiments, the temperature of the conversion reaction is 25-35° C., and the reaction time is less than or equal to two hours.

[0019] In some embodiments, the preparation of the enzyme solution comprises:

[0020] The nicotinamide riboside kinase and the phosphotransferase are obtained from fermented bacteria by centrifugation, and then washed and prepared into a 25% bacterial solution, and the bacterial solution is treated by a homogenizer low-temperature crushing method;

[0021] Among them, the homogenization pressure is 80MPa, and homogenization is performed 2-3 times.

[0022] In some embodiments, the purification step of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide is also included:

[0023] The reaction solution obtained by completely converting the raw material under the action of the enzyme solution is adjusted to pH 2.5-3.0, and then subjected to membrane filtration after standing to obtain a membrane filtration reaction solution;

[0024] The membrane filtered reaction solution is adjusted to weak acidity and passed through an anion and cation exchange column and nanofiltered to remove salt to obtain a desalted solution, and the desalted solution is concentrated, filtered, crystallized, and dried to obtain β-nicotinamide mononucleotide.

[0025] In some embodiments, in the step of adjusting the membrane filtration reaction solution to weak acidity and passing it through an anion and cation exchange column and nanofiltration to remove salt from the anion and cation exchange resin, the membrane filtration reaction solution is exchanged through the cation column to obtain a cation column eluate,

[0026] The pH of the cation column eluate is adjusted to 5.5-6.5, and then passed through an anion exchange column to obtain an anion column effluent.

[0027] In some embodiments, in the step of adjusting the membrane filtered reaction solution to weak acidity and passing it through an anion and cation exchange column and nanofiltration to remove salt from anion and cation exchange resins, the cation exchange resin is preferably a weakly acidic cation exchange resin XRK540, and the anion exchange resin is preferably a weakly basic anion exchange resin XRK209.

[0028] In some embodiments, the desalted solution is concentrated to a concentration of 15-25% under reduced pressure at low temperature, ethanol is added for crystallization, the crystals are grown at 0-5° C. for 5 hours, filtered, and dried to obtain purified β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN).

[0029] Based on the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0030] 1. The present invention provides a method for synthesizing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide by enzyme conversion, wherein nicotinamide ribose is phosphorylated in a system in which a phosphate donor is present to obtain β-nicotinamide mononucleotide. The enzyme used is a composite enzyme solution composed of nicotinamide riboside kinase and phosphotransferase, and acetylphosphodiamidate is selected as the phosphate donor. Acetylphosphodiamidate itself has the characteristics of low cost, and compared with other phosphate donors, it has a low residual effect, which effectively simplifies the subsequent impurity removal process.

[0031] In addition, the ADP generated during the reaction is converted into ATP for recycling by the action of acetyl diammonium phosphate and phosphokinase, which greatly reduces the use of ATP and reduces costs. In addition, there are fewer by-products, which facilitates the simplification of post-processing processes. The total yield reaches 90% and the purity reaches 99.8%.

[0032] The method for preparing β-nicotinamide mononucleotide of the present invention improves the conversion rate, shortens the reaction time, reduces the cost of raw materials, and is suitable for large-scale production of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
