Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for synthesizing bosine. Background Technology
[0002] Pro-Xylane™, chemically known as hydroxypropyltetrahydropyranotriol, is a xylose derivative with anti-aging activity, commonly used in cosmetics. Discovered by L'Oréal over many years, Pro-Xylane is a xylose derivative with cosmetic and anti-wrinkle effects, derived from xylose and possessing broad biological activity. Pro-Xylane can directly affect the extracellular matrix in the three layers of the skin, activating or promoting the synthesis of glucosamines (GAGs) in the skin, improving the adhesion between the dermis and epidermis, promoting the regeneration of damaged tissue, and helping to maintain the elasticity of the dermis. It effectively keeps the skin firm and smooth, delaying skin aging.
[0003] Analysis of L'Oréal's published papers and patent applications reveals that the preparation of Bosein involves two steps. Step 1 uses D-xylose as a raw material, sodium bicarbonate as a base, and water as a solvent. The reaction is carried out at 90°C with stirring for 6 hours, resulting in the condensation, cyclization, and subsequent cleavage of acetylacetone and xylose, yielding β-acetone xyloside in high yield. Step 2 involves the reduction of β-acetone xyloside using sodium borohydride to obtain Bosein. The selective reduction of β-acetone xyloside is a significant challenge. Traditional chemical methods for reducing the ketone carbonyl group exhibit poor stereoselectivity, yielding a pair of diastereomers that are difficult to separate. Furthermore, using sodium borohydride or lithium borohydride as reducing agents to reduce the ketone carbonyl group in β-acetone xyloside produces a large amount of boric acid as a byproduct. Boric acid readily binds to the polyhydroxyl-containing Bosein hinge, requiring purification by column chromatography, making mass production difficult. Moreover, these reducing agents are hazardous and introduce substantial amounts of pollutants. If other homogeneous metal catalysts are used, it will inevitably increase the metal residue in the product, and the product will also be difficult to purify. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for synthesizing bosine, which utilizes a reductase to stereospecifically reduce β-acetone xyloside to obtain bosine with high conversion rate, mild reaction, and suitability for industrial-scale production.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for synthesizing bosonicine, comprising the following process steps:
[0007] Step (1): Xylose, acetylacetone and alkaline substances are mixed in a solvent and heated to react, and the crude first intermediate product is obtained. Step (2): Potassium phosphate buffer, the crude first intermediate product obtained in step (1), crude reductase KRED2935 enzyme solution, glucose dehydrogenase, glucose and reduced β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide disodium tetrasodium phosphate (NADPH) are mixed and converted at 25-35℃ for 1-2 hours. During the reaction, 10% NaOH aqueous solution is added every 30 minutes to adjust the pH of the system to 8.0. After the conversion is completed, ethyl acetate is added to terminate the reaction, the organic phases are extracted, anhydrous sodium sulfate is added to dry, and then the solvent is removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain the Bosein.
[0008] In step (1), the reaction temperature is 60-70℃ and the reaction time is 18-20h. After the heating reaction is completed, the pH value of the reaction solution is adjusted to neutral with 4N HCl, the solvent is removed, and the crude first intermediate product is obtained.
[0009] The solvent mentioned in step (1) is methanol.
[0010] The alkaline substance is one or a mixture of several of sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate.
[0011] The alkaline substance is sodium carbonate, and the molar ratio of xylose to sodium carbonate is 1:1.2~2.
[0012] The molar ratio of xylose to acetylacetone is 1:1.2~1.5.
[0013] The specific method of step (2) is as follows: 20g of the crude first intermediate product obtained in step (1), 10g of crude reductase KRED2935 enzyme solution, 5000U glucose dehydrogenase, 30g of glucose, and 2.0g of reduced β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide disodium tetrasodium phosphate (NADPH) were added sequentially to 1L 0.1M, pH 8.0 potassium phosphate buffer. The reaction was carried out at 28℃ for 1.5h. During the reaction, 10% NaOH aqueous solution was added every 30min to adjust the pH of the system to 8.0. After the conversion was completed, ethyl acetate was added to terminate the reaction, the organic phases were extracted, and the organic phases were combined. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was added for drying, and then the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain the Bosein.
[0014] The synthetic route of this method is as follows:
[0015]
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0017] 1. This invention uses reductase KRED2935 to reduce the first intermediate product, β-acetone xyloside, to obtain bosine with high stereoselectivity and high conversion rate and efficiency. 20g of crude β-acetone xyloside can be completely converted within 1.5h. The obtained product is easy to separate, overcoming the problems of low stereoselectivity and difficulty in scaling up existing processes.
[0018] 2. Furthermore, by utilizing the reductase KRED2935, and with the action of glucose dehydrogenase, glucose, and reduced β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide disodium tetrasodium phosphate (NADPH), the entire reaction can efficiently prepare Bosein without the need for additional reducing agents, thus reducing production costs. Moreover, the entire reaction is mild, using almost no highly polluting or hazardous reagents, making it suitable for the industrial-scale production of Bosein. Detailed Implementation

[0022] 0.2 mol of acetylacetone (26 g, 0.24 mol) was reacted at 65 °C for 20 hours. The pH was adjusted to 7 with 4 N HCl, and the mixture was evaporated to dryness to obtain the crude first intermediate product, β-acetone xyloside. MS (ESI): m / z: 191.11 [M+H] + .
[0023] Example 2: Preparation of Bosein:

The mixture was converted at 28℃ for 1.5h. During the reaction, 10% NaOH aqueous solution was added every 30min to adjust the pH of the system to 8.0. After the conversion was completed, ethyl acetate was added to terminate the reaction. The mixture was extracted, the organic phases were combined, and anhydrous sodium sulfate was added for drying. The solvent was then removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure to obtain 18.5g of the bosine. MS (ESI): m / z: 193.03 [M+H] +Referring to traditional conversion rate detection methods and product ee value determination methods, it was found that the reaction could completely convert 20g of crude β-acetone xyloside within 1.5h, and the product's ee value was greater than 99.9%.

[0031] The corresponding sequence of reductase KRED2935 was synthesized by a gene synthesis company, and an E. coli expression system was constructed using conventional techniques. Overexpression of reductase KRED2935 was obtained in wet cells. Fresh reductase KRED2935 cells were resuspended in potassium phosphate buffer (0.1M, pH 8.0), homogenized, and centrifuged at 15000 rpm for 30 min at 4°C. The resulting supernatant was the crude reductase KRED2935 enzyme solution.
[0032] Example 3: Comparative Experiment:
[0033] The inventors of this invention also attempted to reduce the crude first intermediate product using other reductases to prepare bosine. Examples include reductases ChKRED20 (NCBI accession number: KC342020), ChKRED07 (NCBI accession number: KC342007), and ChKRED03 (NCBI accession number: KC342003).
[0034] The inventors commissioned a gene synthesis company to synthesize the sequences corresponding to the aforementioned enzymes, and constructed an E. coli expression system using conventional techniques. After quantitative expression, wet cells overexpressing the corresponding enzymes were obtained. Then, the corresponding bacterial cells were used to prepare crude reductase solutions. The crude reductase solutions were then used to reduce the first intermediate product, as described in Example 2.
[0035] 20g of the crude first intermediate product prepared as described in Example 1, 10g of crude reductase solution, 4000U of glucose dehydrogenase, 50g of glucose, and 2.0g of reduced β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide disodium tetrasodium phosphate (NADPH) were added sequentially to 1L of 0.1M pH 8.0 potassium phosphate buffer. The reaction was carried out at 28℃ for 1.5h. During the reaction, 10% NaOH aqueous solution was added every 30min to adjust the pH of the system to 8.0. After the conversion was completed, ethyl acetate was added to terminate the reaction, and the organic phases were extracted and combined. The organic phases were dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure. Isopropanol (HPLC grade) was added to dissolve the corresponding product. After high-speed centrifugation, the conversion rate and ee value of the product were determined by HPLC. The conversion rate and ee value are shown in Table 1 below.
[0036] Table 1
[0037]
[0038] The data above show that all the aforementioned reductases can reduce the first intermediate to BOXO, but the conversion efficiency and stereoselectivity of each reductase vary significantly. Among them, reductase KRED2935 exhibits the highest stereoselectivity and conversion rate, making it effective for BOXO preparation and overcoming the problems of low stereoselectivity and difficulty in scaling up existing processes. The inventors also conducted similar tests on other enzymes besides reductases ChKRED20 (NCBI accession number: KC342020), ChKRED07 (NCBI accession number: KC342007), and ChKRED03 (NCBI accession number: KC342003), but the results were not as good as those of reductase KRED2935. Therefore, reductase KRED2935 shows promise as a highly efficient reductase in BOXO preparation, enabling large-scale production of BOXO.
[0039] Furthermore, by utilizing the reductase KRED2935, and with the aid of glucose dehydrogenase, glucose, and reduced β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide disodium tetrasodium phosphate (NADPH), the entire reaction can efficiently prepare Bosein without the need for additional reducing agents, thus reducing production costs. Moreover, the entire reaction is mild, using almost no highly polluting or hazardous reagents, making it suitable for the industrial production of Bosein.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
