Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a non-heme iron enzyme mutant, a truncated form, and their applications in the synthesis of chiral primary amine compounds, belonging to the field of enzyme engineering. Background Art
[0002] Chiral primary amines are widely present in bioactive molecules and are widely used in the synthesis of natural products, drug molecules, and agrochemicals. They are important structures of common drug molecule intermediates. Chiral primary amines usually contain an amino group (NH 2 ), and a chiral center, which can be a carbon atom, a nitrogen atom, or other types of atoms, and is usually connected to different substituents. Among them, most important compounds related to biological functions are heterocyclic compounds, such as nucleic acids, vitamins, antibiotics, hormones, pigments, and alkaloids. In heterocyclic compounds containing both sulfur and nitrogen, the thiazole skeleton is one of the important characteristic structures for drug development. For example, 2-aminothiazoline is often present in cholinergic receptor modulators, nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, and antibacterial compounds ( Organic letters , 2010, 12 , 5526-5529).
[0003] Currently, the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoline is mainly through the transformation of 2-hydroxyethylthiourea, but existing methods mostly adopt organic catalytic synthesis routes, which have obvious deficiencies. For example, the dehydration cyclization of 2-hydroxyethylthiourea is difficult to be compatible with substrates that are acid-labile or prone to acid-catalyzed racemization under strong acid catalysis conditions ( Journal of Fluorine Chemistry , 2005, 126 , 297-300). Although the Mitsunobu reaction conditions are relatively mild, a mixture of 2-aminoimidazoline and 1,2-ethylene thiourea is often obtained ( Bioorganic&Medicinal Chemistry Letters , 2005, 15 ,3849-3852). If sulfonyl chloride is used as an activator, 2-aminooxazoline is often preferentially formed ( Tetrahedron , 2004, 60 , 9883-9888).
[0004] The invention patent CN202010771036.5 discloses that in an organic solvent or water, under an aerobic atmosphere, using a ketone and thiourea or a thiourea derivative as raw materials, and under the co - catalysis of activated carbon or a metal salt, the target product can be obtained through a condensation / oxidative coupling reaction. The invention patent CN202110616891.3 adopts an electrochemical synthesis method, using a ketone and thiourea as raw materials, dimethyl sulfoxide and water as solvents, and ammonium halide or alkali metal halide as both an electrolyte and an electro - catalyst. In the presence of an additive, at a reaction temperature of 50 - 90 °C, 2 - aminothiazole compounds are obtained. Although the above technical solutions have achieved the one - step construction of the thiazole ring, chiral 2 - aminothiazole compounds have not been obtained, and the reaction systems used cause serious environmental pollution.
[0005] The difunctionalization reaction of alkenes has good atom and step economy, and can introduce new functional groups on both sides of the carbon - carbon double bond simultaneously. The Morandi research group has developed a series of iron - catalyzed amino - functionalization reactions of alkenes to obtain primary amine products substituted with functional groups such as halogens ( Science , 2018, 362 , 434 - 439), hydroxyl groups ( Angewandte Chemie International Edition ,2016, 55 , 2248 - 2251) and azides ( Journal of the American Chemical Society , 2020, 142 ,21548 - 21555). This reaction has gradually become a powerful tool for increasing molecular complexity in organic synthesis, showing great potential for industrial applications.
[0006] Enzyme - catalyzed reactions have the characteristics of high efficiency, high selectivity and environmental friendliness, and have been widely used in fields such as chemical engineering, energy and materials. Based on relevant research on transition - metal catalysis, the Arnold research group modified a heat - resistant iron - containing enzyme, cytochrome C ( Angewandte Chemie International Edition , 2019, 58 , 3138 - 3142). It can directly convert alkenes into highly enantioselective and unprotected 2 - amino - 1 - alcohols using hydroxylamine derivatives as a nitrogen source under anaerobic conditions. This method complements the lack of highly enantioselective transformation pathways in traditional chemical synthesis. However, this method only provides primary amination products substituted with ortho - hydroxyl groups, and the scope of application of enzyme - catalyzed amino - functionalization of alkenes has not been fully explored. Moreover, this method uses the heme in the enzyme active center to form a stable coordination structure, with strong substrate specificity, and usually can only catalyze specific reactions, thus limiting the applicability of this type of enzyme.
[0007] In summary, the present invention intends to develop an engineered enzyme that can catalyze the amino - functionalization reaction of alkenes, achieve more economical and green asymmetric synthesis of chiral primary amine compounds, and further develop its applicability in industry. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Non-heme iron enzymes mainly include two types: hydroxylase and halogenase. Their natural catalytic mechanism is as follows: The iron in the active center of this type of enzyme is generally coordinated with two histidines and one glutamate or aspartate. If it is a halogenase, this position is coordinated by water. When α-KG, halide ions, and the substrate are added, α-KG and halide ions will replace the water molecule and coordinate with the iron. In the presence of oxygen, a peroxyl radical can be formed, and then a molecule of CO 2 is removed to obtain a highly reactive high-valent iron-oxo intermediate. Subsequently, hydroxylation reaction is achieved by abstracting the substrate hydrogen atom and hydroxyl radical rebound, or halogenation reaction is achieved by capturing halogen radicals. Compared with heme iron enzymes, non-heme iron-containing enzymes have multiple open iron coordination sites, highly flexible and adjustable reactivity, and are expected to be powerful candidates for expanding the diversity of amino functionalization reactions of olefins.
