Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biosynthesis, and particularly to a monoterpene cyclopropanated derivative and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The trifluoromethyl cyclopropyl group is very important in the field of pharmaceuticals. The correct introduction of some cyclopropane or fluorine-containing groups can increase bioavailability or improve the metabolic stability of drugs. However, due to the unique electronegativity of fluorine atoms, the introduction of fluorine atoms into specific positions has always been quite challenging, and the modification of important potential drug groups by biocatalytic methods has great potential.
[0003] Monoterpenes are a class of compounds composed of 2 isoprene units with 10 carbon atoms. Monoterpene derivatives containing heteroatoms (usually oxygen atoms) are also called monoterpenoids. In recent years, with the exploration of the biological activities of natural products in the field of drug development, monoterpenes and their derivatives have gradually shown new biological activities such as analgesic, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, and anticancer effects. It has been reported that the unnatural iron porphyrin Fe(TPP)Cl with four benzene rings can be used as a chemical catalyst for the chemical preparation of styrene trifluoromethyl cyclopropanated products. However, there are currently problems such as low yield and low selectivity in the trifluoromethyl cyclopropanation modification of natural monoterpenes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the emergence of more effective chemical catalysts and catalytic methods to solve the existing technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0054] To introduce the non-native metal porphyrin Fe(TPP)Cl of the catalytic center into the protein BM3, the plasmid pET22b-I357AL86G of the P450 BM3 mutant protein I357AL86G was constructed. The plasmid pET22b-I357AL86G was transformed into the Escherichia coli competent cell BL21(DE3). It was heat-shocked at 42 °C for 90 s and then immediately placed on ice for 2 min, and spread on an ampicillin-resistant LB plate and cultured overnight in a 37 °C incubator. The next day, the transformants were picked into a liquid medium of LB ampicillin resistance and cultured in a shaker at 37 °C and 200 rpm for 12 h, and then transferred at 1% of the medium volume to 1 L of 2×YT medium containing ampicillin resistance and cultured in a shaker at 37 °C and 200 rpm until 600 OD = 0.8 - 1.0, and 1.0 mM IPTG (isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside) and 1.0 mM ALA (5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride) were added, and then it was continued to be cultured in a shaker at 30 °C and 200 rpm for 16 h.
[0055] The expressed medium was centrifuged at 8000 rpm and 4 °C to collect the bacterial cells, and then the protein was purified according to the instructions of the Ni-NTA 6FF His-tag Protein Purification Kit of Sangon Biotech. Then, the protein bands were verified according to the instructions of the Sangon SDS-PAGE Kit, and the protein I357AL86G was successfully obtained. It was identified that the target protein component of I357AL86G (52 kDa) was successfully eluted in the eluent containing 50, 100, and 250 mM imidazole ( Figure 2 ).
[0056] Then, it was titrated and recombined with the unnatural porphyrin Fe(TPP)Cl to obtain the artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl. The specific operation steps were as follows:
[0057] (1) Under the condition of 4 °C, the cofactor-free I357AL86G protein (10 - 50 μmol / L) obtained above was added dropwise to the metal porphyrin (>1 mmol / L) dissolved in 0.01 mol / L NaOH solution, and stirred for 1 - 3 h;
[0058] (2) The supernatant was collected in a low-temperature centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 30 min, and dialyzed 4 times with 10 mmol / L KPi phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 at 4 °C for 4 h each time;
[0059] (3) After dialysis, the precipitate was removed by centrifugation, and the excess heme or metal complex was removed by a desalting column;
[0060] (4) Concentrate to an appropriate volume, and replace the buffer with a 100 mmol / L KPi phosphate buffer at pH 7.0 using an ultrafiltration concentrator or a desalting column.
[0061] The artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl was identified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed that the artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl was successfully obtained, the solution showed a brownish red color, and a characteristic absorption peak after binding porphyrin was shown at 417 nm ( Figure 3 ), proving that the unnatural porphyrin Fe(TPP)Cl was successfully assembled into the BM3 I357AL86G protein.
[0062] 1.2 BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl Catalyzes the Cyclopropanation of Natural Monoterpenes and Ethyl Diazoacetate
[0063] In order to achieve trifluoromethylcyclopropanation modification of natural monoterpenes, a natural monoterpene substrate library was first established, and enzymatic reactions were carried out with ethyl diazoacetate donors. Ethyl diazoacetate was first used as a carbene donor because the fluorine atom in diazotrifluoroethane itself is very active and difficult to control in the reaction. In addition, ethyl diazoacetate exists in liquid form, which is more suitable for preliminary screening than gaseous diazotrifluoroethane donors. Monoterpene substrates that can be catalyzed by artificial enzymes were screened and further used for trifluoromethylcyclopropanation modification.
[0064] Selection of natural monoterpene substrates: Natural monoterpenes with terminal olefins are preferred, and the structure should not be too large to prevent the substrate from entering the enzyme active center. The substrate is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 400mmol / L substrate solution, and ethyl diazoacetate is also dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 600mmol / L solution. The total reaction system is 400μL. Under argon deoxygenation, first add the artificial metal enzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl with a final concentration of 20μmol / L, dissolved in 50mmol / L phosphate buffer with a pH value of 7.0; then add a sodium dithionite solution with a final concentration of 10mmol / L, and use a double-row tube device to continue to remove the air in the bottle. Then add a substrate with a final concentration of 10mmol / L, and continue to blow in argon for 1min. And use a micro-syringe pump to add 15μL of 600mmol / L ethyl diazoacetate solution within 4h, and react at room temperature for 12h. After the reaction, the mixture was extracted with 400 μL×3 volume of 1:1 dichloromethane, centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 10 min, and the organic layer was taken for GC-MS detection.
[0065] The results showed that natural monoterpene compounds such as perillyl alcohol, L-carveol, carvone, myrcene, valenic acid tangerine, perillaldehyde, carvyl acetate, limonene, ocimene, and forskolin were selected as substrates for enzymatic cyclopropanation ( Figure 4 ). 4-Chlorostyrene has been reported to react with ethyl diazoacetate under the catalysis of myoglobin to produce a carbene transfer product, which exists in the GC-MS spectral library. Therefore, a catalytic experiment with 4-chlorostyrene as a substrate was added, and the GC-MS results of the product were compared with those reported in the literature to determine the feasibility of the experimental operation method and the expected idea. The target product can be identified by the molecular ion peak value by viewing the GC-MS spectrum. The positive ion formed by the loss of an electron by an organic compound molecule is called a molecular ion (M +· ), its mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) represents the relative molecular mass value of the target molecule. The retention time of 1a detected by gas chromatography is 15.198min, and the molecular ion peak of the mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of the mass spectrum is 224 ( Figure 5 ), which is consistent with the relative molecular mass (M) of the expected product 1a of 224, and M:M +2The relative abundance ratio of is equal to 3:1, indicating the presence of Cl element in the structure. It is also consistent with the 1a structure in the NIST mass spectrometry library through similarity search. Based on the realization of the catalysis of 4-chlorostyrene, the expected idea was verified to be feasible. Therefore, the enzymatic reaction of cyclopropanation of terpenoid natural products 2-12 with ethyl diazoacetate was continued using BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl. As Figure 6 shown, it shows the expected cyclopropanation product structures of each monoterpene. The retention time of 2a is 17.415 min; the retention time of 3a is 16.573 min; the retention time of 4a is 16.014 min; the retention time of 5a is 19.125 min; the retention time of 6a is 12.716 min; the retention time of 7a is 19.354 min. They were detected by GC-MS. Under the catalysis of the artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl, the expected products were generated with conversion rates of 3.1%, 50.1%, 8.5%, 0.4%, 3.9%, and 0.3% respectively. Their molecular ion peaks are all consistent with the expected products. The molecular ion peaks of 2a and 3a are both 238; the molecular ion peak of 4a is 236; the molecular ion peak of 5a is 251; the molecular ion peak of 6a is 222; the molecular ion peak of 7a is 290( Figure 5 ). After preliminary screening, several natural monoterpene substrates, perillyl alcohol 2, L-carveol 3, carvone 4, perillartine 5, myrcene 6, and valencene 7, were used as substrates for the subsequent trifluoromethylcyclopropanation reaction.
[0066] 1.3 Trifluoromethylcyclopropanation of natural monoterpenes catalyzed by BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl
[0067] Since the trifluoromethyl donor for the enzymatic trifluoromethylcyclopropanation of natural monoterpenes is diazotrifluoroethane, but diazotrifluoroethane is a gas and needs to be prepared on-site from 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride, the double reaction chamber method was used for this experiment( Figure 7) That is, the CF3CHN2 gas generated in reaction chamber one is transported to reaction chamber two through a double-headed solvent transfer needle. The reaction is carried out under anaerobic conditions. 244 mg of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride, 20 mg of anhydrous sodium acetate, and 12.4 mg of 4-dimethylaminopyridine are added to reaction chamber one, and 3 mL of degassed water is added; then 6.6 μL of concentrated H2SO4 dissolved in 0.5 mL of degassed water is added, and it is degassed for 1 min; a solution of 149 mg of NaNO2 dissolved in degassed distilled water is added within 4 h; the total reaction system in reaction chamber two is 400 μL, and artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl with a final concentration of 20 μmol / L is added, dissolved in 50 mmol / L phosphate buffer at pH 7.0; then sodium dithionite with a final concentration of 10 mmol / L is added; the air in the bottle is removed using a double-tube device, and then a 10 mmol / L substrate (the substrate is pre-prepared as a 400 mmol / L stock solution) is added, and argon is continuously blown in for 1 min. The diazo compound gas generated in reaction chamber one is continuously introduced into reaction chamber two through the double-headed solvent transfer needle using argon, and the reaction is carried out at room temperature under anaerobic conditions for 18 h. In the control group, the enzyme is replaced with 50 mmol / L phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, and the other conditions remain unchanged. After the reaction is completed, it is extracted three times with an equal volume of dichloromethane, centrifuged at 13000 rpm for 10 min, and the organic layer is taken for GC-MS detection.
[0068] Using artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl as a protein catalyst, perillyl alcohol 2, L-carvomenthol 3, carvone 4, perillartine 5, myrcene 6, and valencene 7 are used as substrates for trifluoromethylcyclopropanation reaction. After GC-MS detection, the corresponding trifluoromethylcyclopropanation products are detected for 2-5. 2b, 3b, 4b, and 5b are successfully converted with conversion rates of 3.4%, 44.2%, 4.1%, and 1.1% respectively. Figure 8 The structures of the expected cyclopropanation products of each monoterpene are shown.
[0069] As Figure 9As shown, the target peaks of the 2b product appear at 12.130, 12.355, and 12.515 min respectively, and the peak area ratio is 13.3:47.2:39.5; since the substrate 3 of 3b is a cis-trans isomer, more groups of product peaks will be detected compared to other substrates. The target peaks of 3b appear at 10.650, 10.950, 11.090, 11.145, 11.200, 11.475, and 11.575 min respectively, and the peak area ratio is 11.6:2.2:27.1:1.7:26.4:21.9:19.2; the target peaks of 4b appear at 11.545 and 11.745 min respectively, and the peak area ratio is 34.5:65.5; the target peaks of 5b appear at 14.190, 14.270, 14.500, and 14.570 min respectively, and the peak area ratio is 3.1:6.8:48.0:42.1. Their molecular ion peaks are all consistent with the expected products.
[0070] During the detection process, multiple target peaks were found. This is because the formation of trifluoromethyl cyclopropanation products will have at least 2 chiral centers. At the same time, the substrate L-carvone 3 of 3b itself is a cis-trans isomer mixture, so the product peaks of 3b are the most, with 7 detected. Due to the low conversion rate or the existence of multiple mixed isomers, a single configuration product has not been separated and prepared. The ratios of each peak are listed here to present the proportion of each configuration. For example Figure 10 , which shows the GC-MS mass spectra of the peak with the largest peak height for each product. The molecular ion peak of 2b is 234, GC-MS m / z (% relative intensity): 234(1.86), 138(17.9), 107(100.0), 138(17.9), 203(10.8), 79(62.9); the molecular ion peak of 3b is 234, GC-MS m / z (% relative intensity): 234(38.5), 137(85.1), 109(100.0), 84(69.4), 138(25.7), 201(10.8), 219(11.6); the molecular ion peak of 4b is 232, GC-MS m / z (% relative intensity): 232(2.1), 136(90.1), 108(46.4), 82(45.4), 190(2.8), 149(2.0), 93(100.0); the molecular ion peak of 5b is 247, GC-MS m / z (% relative intensity): 247(75.4), 248(11.0), 230(55.9), 213(16.6), 150(27.2), 133(99.2), 122(77.0), 106(94.1), 91(99.3), 79(100.0).
[0071] Meanwhile, the synthesis of trifluoromethyl cyclopropanation products using a chemical catalyst was used as a control (for the purpose of comparing the products synthesized by artificial metalloenzymes). The specific steps are as follows:
[0072] Add Fe(TPP)Cl (0.0066 mmol = 4.65 mg), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) (0.022 mmol = 2.69 mg), anhydrous sodium acetate (0.044 mmol = 3.61 mg), and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride (0.33 mmol = 44.72 mg) to a round-bottom flask. Add degassed distilled water (1 mL) and concentrated H2SO4 (1.2 μL, 0.022 mmol), and degas the solution by blowing argon for 1 min. Subsequently, add the substrate (0.22 mmol = 33.44 mg) to the round-bottom flask, and add the NaNO2 solution (27 mg, 0.399 mmol, dissolved in 1 mL of degassed distilled water) to the round-bottom flask via a syringe pump within 10 h. After reacting for an additional 4 h, add dichloromethane and water, and extract the aqueous phase with dichloromethane three times. Collect the organic layer and concentrate it under reduced pressure. Filter the crude reaction mixture through silica gel and elute with dichloromethane to collect the fractions for GC-MS analysis. (This experimental design is used as a control for the catalytic effect of artificial enzymes).
[0073] The four unreported trifluoromethyl cyclopropanation reaction products, 2b, 3b, 4b, and 5b, were separated and purified respectively. Since the products were not of a single configuration and the conversion rate was low, only the perillartine derivative 5b accumulated and approximately 2 mg of the sample was isolated. The purity of the prepared 5b sample was detected by HPLC, and the retention time was 37.848 min ( Figure 11 ).
[0074] The LC-MS results of the trifluoromethylated product 5b of perillartine were confirmed again by LC-MS, showing [M+H] + value of 248.1257 ( Figure 12 ). The molecular weight of the trifluoromethylated product 4b of carvone was also determined again by LC-MS for [M+H] + value of 233.1148 ( Figure 13 ), both of which were exactly the same as the theoretical [M+H] + molecular weight of the product (accurate to the 4th decimal place). However, the structures of the alcohol hydroxyl groups in 2b and 3b were difficult to ionize with an ESI source, and the accurate molecular weight could not be obtained by LC-MS. Therefore, a GC-TOF-MS instrument was used to further identify the products 2b and 3b. The results showed that the molecular ion peak of 2b [M +· = 234.1233, which was consistent with the target product and within the error range of the theoretical value of 134.1231 ( Figure 14 ). The results showed that the molecular ion peak of 3b [M+· = 234.1224, which is consistent with the target product and within the error range of the theoretical value 134.1231 ( Figure 15 ). The trifluoromethylated product 5b of perillartine was 1 characterized by \(^1H\) NMR (700 MHz), 13 \(^{13}C\) NMR (700 MHz), 19 \(^{19}F\) NMR (645 MHz). The compound structure of the trifluoromethylated product 5b of perillartine was listed for convenient comparison with the results of NMR spectrum analysis ( Figures 16 - 18 ).
[0075] The results showed that the conversion rate of the product 3b catalyzed by the artificial metalloenzyme BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl (44.2%, conversion rate % = [sum of peak areas of the target product / (sum of peak areas of all products + peak area of the remaining substrate)] × 100%) was nearly 28 times higher than that of the trifluoromethylcyclopropanation reaction of carvone catalyzed by the chemical catalyst Fe(TPP)Cl alone. The conversion rate of the trifluoromethylcyclopropanation reaction of carvone catalyzed by Fe(TPP)Cl to produce the product 3b was only 1.6%. As Figure 4 , it is the trifluoromethylcyclopropanation reaction of natural monoterpenes catalyzed by BM3 I357AL86G-Fe(TPP)Cl.
