Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis and enzyme catalysis technology, specifically relating to a lipase mutant, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Capiste is the world's first pan-AKT inhibitor (First in Class), indicated in combination with fulvestrant for adult patients with metastatic locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have progressed after at least one prior endocrine therapy, or who have relapsed during or within 12 months of completing adjuvant therapy, and who are hormone receptor (HR) positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative, and have one or more PIK3CA / AKT1 / PTEN alterations.

[0003] - p-Chloro-β-phenylpropanol is a key intermediate in the synthesis of cappicrite. The main synthesis method is as follows: p-chlorobenzaldehyde is condensed with malonic acid to obtain 3-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propionic acid, which is then esterified to obtain methyl 3-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propionate. After resolution, the S-type methyl 3-amino-3-(4-chlorophenyl)propionate is obtained, and then reduced to obtain the target product. This method has low resolution efficiency, high cost, and is difficult to industrialize.

[0004] The synthesis route is as follows: The current process has the following main problems: 1) Due to its high cost, dangerous operation, complexity and large solvent consumption, it is difficult to obtain satisfactory results in industrial preparation; 2) The raw material cost of this route is high, the yield is low, and the product purification is difficult. In particular, in the chiral resolution process, more than 3 resolutions are required to reach an ee value of more than 97%, and the yield is only 33%, which wastes a lot of resolving agent; 3) It simply cannot meet the requirements of industrial production and the market. Summary of the Invention

The whole-cell catalytic activity of the recombinant E. coli lipase was significantly lower than that of the mutant Y251F. After 1 h of reaction, the whole-cell catalytic yield of the mutant Y251F reached over 48%, while the yield of the lipase group was only 41.3%. After 2.5 h of reaction, the conversion rate of the whole-cell catalytic reaction of the recombinant E. coli lipase reached 38%. Furthermore, the mutant Y251F still exhibited good stereoselectivity when catalyzing high-concentration substrate conversion, with an ee value of over 99.7% and a yield of over 48%.
