Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of enzyme hydrolysis synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing dextro-ketoprofen. Background Technology

[0002] Dextro-ketoprofen, also known as (S)-(+)-ketoprofen, (S)-ketoibuprofen, or (S)-(+)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid, is a 2-arylpropionic acid class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its commercial form is dextro-ketoprofen tromethamine. Ketoprofen has one chiral center and two enantiomers, only of which dextro-ketoprofen possesses anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic, and analgesic effects. Levo-ketoprofen has almost no pharmacological activity and toxic side effects. Dextro-ketoprofen was developed by the Italian company Menarini in 1996 and first marketed in Spain. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects are twice that of the racemic mixture, indicating that levo-ketoprofen is ineffective. Therefore, the synthesis and production of the single isomer dextro-ketoprofen has significant application value.

[0003] Currently, the main synthetic methods for dextro-ketoprofen include chemical asymmetric synthesis, chemical resolution, and enzymatic resolution (including esterases, lipases, nitrile hydrolases, nitrile hydratases, and amidases).

[0004] Chemical asymmetric synthesis methods require heavy metal chiral catalysts and high temperature and pressure conditions. Most catalysts are highly toxic and cause environmental pollution, and chiral catalysts are also expensive. Chemical resolution involves recrystallization, which is time-consuming, increases costs, and reduces yield. In addition, the resolving agent is used in large quantities, resulting in high costs and a lot of wastewater and waste solvent. Lipase or esterase catalytic resolution has disadvantages such as low raw material concentration, large enzyme dosage, environmentally unfriendly reaction medium, low ee% value of product, and difficulty in separating product mixtures. Nitrile hydrolase hydrolysis resolution yields products with very low ee% values. The two-step enzymatic hydrolysis resolution of ketoprofen nitrile to synthesize dextro-ketoprofen using nitrile hydratase and amidase mostly results in low concentration and low yield. The two-step enzymatic method increases costs, and the post-processing steps are cumbersome.

[0005] There are numerous reports on the hydrolysis and resolution of ketoprofen amide by amidases to synthesize dextro-ketoprofen. For example, Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 1994, 42:1-7 reported that amidase derived from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain d3 achieved a conversion rate of 5% and an ee% value of 97%. BIOTECHNOLOGY LETTERS, 1995, 17(2):187-192 introduced microbial amidases, showing that Rhodococcus sp. C3II cells converted 2 mM feedstock achieved a conversion rate of 53% after 20.5 h, with a dextro-ketoprofen ee% value of 97%; Rhodococcus erythropolis MP 50 cells converted 0.2 mM feedstock achieved a conversion rate of 49%, with a dextro-ketoprofen ee% value of 99%. Protein & Peptide Letters, 2008, 15, 617-623, reports the amidase reaction of Sulfolobus solfataricus: 1.5 g ketoprofen amide was dissolved in 100 mL of methanol, 500 mL of Tris-HCl buffer was added, 12 mg of purified enzyme was added, and the reaction was carried out at 70 °C for 24 h, with an optical purity of 99.6% ee. CN111363736 reports the preparation of dextro-ketoprofen using Klebsiella amidase: 0.8 g of enzyme powder was resuspended in 100 mL of sodium phosphate buffer, 4 g of ketoprofen amide was dissolved in 10 mL of toluene and added to the reaction flask, and the reaction was incubated for 10 h, with a product ee% of 100% and a conversion rate of 50.85%. CN111378637 describes the preparation of dextro-ketoprofen using Agrobacterium amidase, as in Example 6. 1g of enzyme powder was resuspended in 100mL of sodium phosphate buffer, and 4g of ketoprofen dissolved in 10mL of toluene was added dropwise to the reaction flask. The reaction was incubated for 10 hours, yielding a product ee% of 99.8% and a conversion rate of 50.75%. CN114134132 describes the mutation of Rhodococcus erythropolis MP50 amidase. The highest activity mutant was used in Example 9, as in Example 9. 0.37g of AMD03-38 enzyme powder was added dropwise to 100mL of sodium phosphate buffer, and 6g of ketoprofen dissolved in 10mL of ethyl acetate was added dropwise to the reaction flask. The reaction was incubated for 24 hours, yielding a conversion rate of 49% and a product ee% of 99.5%.

[0006] Based on the aforementioned synthetic methods for dextro-ketoprofen, chemical asymmetric synthesis and chemical resolution methods are environmentally unfriendly, cumbersome, and require large amounts of solvent. Other enzymatic resolution methods suffer from low enzyme activity, low reactant concentrations, high enzyme-to-base ratios, high costs, and low ee% of the product. A relatively ideal method is the amidase hydrolysis resolution of ketoprofen amides, but several issues limit its industrial application, specifically including:

[0007] (1) The reaction feed concentration is generally low, the enzyme-to-bottom ratio is high, the space-time yield is not high, and it cannot meet the requirements of large-scale industrial production.

[0008] (2) Since the raw materials are almost insoluble in water, a lot of cosolvents need to be added. Using a lot of water-soluble solvents such as methanol will affect the enzyme activity. Using water-insoluble solvents such as toluene and ethyl acetate will cause enzyme interface inactivation, insufficient contact of raw materials, emulsification of reaction solution and large amount of solvent.

[0009] (3) The ineffective L-ketoprofenamide was not recycled, resulting in increased material costs and the generation of solid waste;

[0010] (4) The reaction medium is not environmentally friendly. Adding a large amount of phosphorus-containing buffer solution will generate phosphorus-containing wastewater, which is not conducive to scale-up production.

[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-yield amidase hydrolysis and resolution methods to meet the requirements of industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0012] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for synthesizing dextro-ketoprofen, which solves the problems of low concentration of reaction raw materials, high enzyme-to-solvent ratio, large amount of co-solvent used, environmentally unfriendly reaction medium, and non-recovery of ineffective components in existing technologies.

[0013] This invention provides a method for synthesizing dextro-ketoprofen, comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1: Using ketoprofen amide as raw material, hydrolysis reaction was carried out in a reaction medium, co-solvent, phase transfer catalyst, and amidase system, followed by separation and purification to obtain dextro-ketoprofen and levo-ketoprofen amide;

[0015] S2: Levoketoprofenamide is subjected to a chemical racemization reaction in the presence of a solvent and a base to obtain ketoprofenamide; step S1 is repeated using ketoprofenamide as a starting material, and the reaction process is shown below:

[0016]

[0017] Further, in step S1, the reaction medium is one of Tris-HCl buffer, water, and triethanolamine-HCl, preferably water;

[0018] The phase transfer catalyst is one of benzyltrimethylammonium chloride, benzyltriethylammonium chloride, benzyltributylammonium chloride, tetramethylammonium chloride, tetraethylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium fluoride, and tetrabutylammonium bromide, preferably tetramethylammonium chloride;

[0019] The co-solvent is one of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, and toluene, preferably dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0020] Because the hydrolysis product of amide is an ammonium carboxylate, the pH change during the process is minimal, eliminating the need for excess buffer solution, especially phosphate, as the reaction medium. DMSO is a highly polar, inert solvent with good water solubility, high solubility of the raw materials, and limited effect of low concentrations on the enzyme. Adding a small amount of phase transfer catalyst facilitates the dispersion of the raw materials and contact with the enzyme, thereby increasing the reaction rate.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S1, the amidase has selective ketoprofen amide hydrolysis activity.

[0022] Preferably, it is an amidase derived from Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595, the amino acid sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO.1.

[0023] Furthermore, in step S1, the amidease exists in one of the following forms: enzyme solution, enzyme powder, bacterial cells, or immobilized enzyme.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S1, the hydrolysis reaction is carried out at a temperature of 40°C and a pH value of 8.0.

[0025] Further, in step S1, the concentration of ketoprofenamide in the reaction medium is 100 g / L; the mass ratio of amidase to ketoprofenamide is 1 / 20.

[0026] Furthermore, the volume concentration of the co-solvent in the reaction medium is 1-50%, preferably 5%; and the mass concentration of the phase transfer catalyst in the reaction medium is 0.1-10%, preferably 0.5%.

[0027] Further, in step S2, the alkali is one of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate, preferably potassium hydroxide.

[0028] Further, in step S2, the solvent is one of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and isopropanol, preferably ethanol.

[0029] Furthermore, in step S2, the temperature of the racemization reaction is 20-80℃, preferably 40℃.

[0030] The term "mass concentration" refers to the mass of a component in a unit volume of a mixture, denoted by the symbol ρ, and measured in g / ml.

[0031] The term "volume concentration" refers to the concentration of substance B at the same temperature and pressure, expressed as a percentage of its volume V. B The ratio of substance B to the volume V of the solution is called the volume fraction of substance B, also known as the volume percentage, denoted by φB, and expressed as φB = (V / V). B (÷V)×100%, V / V or ml / ml.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] (1) The novel method for preparing dextro-ketoprofen by amidase catalysis of the present invention has a high substrate concentration and a low enzyme-to-substrate ratio. The substrate concentration is as high as 100 g / L and the enzyme-to-substrate ratio is as low as 1 / 20. It has high selectivity, high conversion rate and high product purity, with a conversion rate of >46%, product optical purity of >99.5% and product purity of >99.5%. It can meet the requirements of enzyme catalysis industrial production and has great potential for industrial application.

[0034] (2) The present invention utilizes a reaction system of reaction medium, low concentration co-solvent, small amount of phase transfer catalyst, and amidase to hydrolyze ketoprofen amide to prepare dextro-ketoprofen. The amidase is preferably derived from Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595. The reaction medium (preferably water) is safer and more environmentally friendly during the reaction process, the co-solvent concentration (5% by volume) is lower, the amount of phase transfer catalyst used is less (0.5% by mass), and the cost is lower.

[0035] (3) In the process of preparing dextro-ketoprofen using amidase, only 50% is generally converted to dextro-ketoprofen. The lack of recovery of levo-ketoprofen amide leads to excessively high production costs and is detrimental to the industrial production of enzyme-catalyzed products. This invention separates the ineffective levo-ketoprofen amide from the reaction solution and performs chemical racemization on it. The racemic ineffective amide is then recycled as a reaction raw material. This method achieves a recovery rate of over 95% for the ineffective amide, ensuring full utilization of the raw materials, improving raw material utilization, and reducing costs and solid waste emissions.

The amino acid sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595 amidase is shown in SEQ ID NO.1, Rhodococcus eythropolis MP50 amidase is from BIOTECHNOLOGY LETTERS, 1995, 17(2):187-192, and Sulfolobus solfataricus amidase is from Protein & Peptide Letters, 2008, 15, 617-623.
