[0002] Pyridones are a class of heterocyclic molecules with broad biological activities, playing an important role in medicinal chemistry and natural product chemistry. Studies have shown that these compounds generally exhibit antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor pharmacological activities, and have significant applications in drug synthesis and functional materials. For example, 4-pyridone derivatives can coordinate with metal ions such as iron and aluminum to treat iron overload diseases; 6-amino-2-pyridone can be used as a dye intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes.

[0003] Existing pyridone compounds often exhibit limited or singular substitution modes, resulting in narrow bioactivity profiles, less than ideal physicochemical properties (such as solubility and stability), or difficulties in efficient preparation using environmentally friendly processes. Specifically, traditional chemical synthesis methods for these compounds typically involve lengthy routes, low overall yields, and often rely on hazardous reagents or generate difficult-to-manage waste in key steps, contradicting the principles of green chemistry and sustainable production.

[0042] Compound identification Hydrogen spectrum (H NMR) 1 H NMR (e.g.) Figure 3 (as shown) Solvent: CDCl3; Hydrogen spectrum description: Two sets of proton signals were observed. The δ8.37 ppm (1H, s) signal was assigned to a methine proton with an imine group (N=CH-) on the side chain. The δ6.50 ppm (1H, br s) signal was assigned to a proton with an enol structure on the ring (C5-H). The other active hydrogen (-OH) in the molecule was not observed in CDCl3, possibly due to hydrogen exchange or a broad peak shape.

[0043] The peak assignments are shown in Table 1.

[0044] Table 1 Carbon spectrum (CMR) 13 C NMR (such as C NMR) Figure 4 (as shown) Solvent: CDCl3; Carbon spectrum description: The carbon spectrum shows signals in multiple low-field regions, with carbonyl carbon signals (C2, C4, C6) appearing in the δ 170-175 ppm region. The signal at δ ~ 152 ppm is assigned to the side-chain imine carbon (N=CH-). The signal at δ ~ 102 ppm is assigned to the methine carbon (C5-H) with an enol structure on the ring. This carbon is a quaternary carbon in the original structure, but becomes a protonated carbon after tautomerism, and is directly linked to the proton at δ 6.50 ppm in the proton spectrum.

[0045] The peak assignments are shown in Table 2.

[0046] Table 2 Figure 5 The HSQC spectra of (E)-5-[(hydroxymethylene)amino]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-2,3,6-trione prepared in Example 1 are shown in Table 3.

[0047] Table 3 HSQC Description: HSQC spectra showed two distinct groups 1 H- 13 C direct correlation signal: δH 8.37 ppm / δC~152 ppm: confirms that the proton is a methine proton (N=CH-) attached to the imine carbon. δH 6.50 ppm / δC~102 ppm: confirms that the proton is attached to a sp... 2 On the hybridized methine carbon, there is a C5-H corresponding to the tautomerism formed on the ring. The protons (such as OH) on the remaining carbonyl carbons and heteroatoms show no relevant signal in the HSQC, consistent with expectations.

[0052] Dichloromethane (5 times the mass of the solid) was added to the solid, and the mixture was stirred and extracted at 25°C for 1 h. The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was rotary evaporated to dryness under a water bath at 40°C and a vacuum of -0.08 MPa to obtain a pale yellow solid. The solid weighed 17.5 g, had an HPLC purity of 95.3%, and a yield of 94.6%.

[0057] Comparative Example 1 10 L of fermentation broth from engineered strain IN10-06 was centrifuged under the conditions of Example 1 to obtain 520 g of wet cell insoluble matter. First, 1.56 L (3 times the mass of the insoluble matter) of dichloromethane was added to the insoluble matter, and the mixture was stirred and extracted at 30°C for 1.5 h.

Since the product is intracellularly secreted, after extraction with the methanol-water mixture (methanol:water = 4:1, v / v), centrifugation revealed almost no detectable signal of the target compound in the supernatant.

[0059] Comparative Example 3 10 L of fermentation broth from engineered strain IN10-06 was centrifuged under the conditions of Example 1 to obtain 520 g of wet insoluble bacterial cell matter. 1.56 L (approximately 3 times the mass of the insoluble matter) of DMF was added to the insoluble matter, and extraction was carried out at 70°C for 0.5 h. The supernatant was obtained by centrifugation. The supernatant was rotary evaporated to dryness under a vacuum of -0.1 MPa in an 80°C water bath to obtain a solid. Ethyl acetate (10 times the mass of the solid) was added to the solid, and extraction was carried out with stirring at 35°C for 0.5 h.

[0061] Comparative Example 5 10 L of fermentation broth from engineered strain IN10-06 was centrifuged under the conditions of Example 1 to obtain 520 g of wet cell insoluble matter. 1.56 L (approximately 3 times the mass of the insoluble matter) of DMF was added to the above insoluble matter, and the mixture was heated and stirred at 40°C for 1.5 h for extraction. Subsequent steps were the same as in Example 1. A pale yellow solid of 9.2 g with a purity of 95.5% was finally obtained, but the yield was only 48.4%.

[0062] The products of Examples 2-3 were also analyzed by 1H NMR, 1C NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry, which confirmed the correctness of the structure.

[0063] Results analysis: Examples 1-3 strictly followed the preparation method described in this invention, employing a process route starting from fermentation insolubles and involving heating extraction with a specific ratio of DMF, rotary evaporation, and selective extraction with dichloromethane. Results showed that this method is simple and efficient, yielding products with purity exceeding 95% and yields exceeding 94%, and exhibiting good product color. Different strains treated with this method showed highly similar product purity and yield, confirming the method's good universality across different strains. It also fully validated the rationality and superiority of the process parameters determined in this application (such as 2-5 times the DMF dosage, extraction temperature of 60-80℃, and 5-10 times the dichloromethane dosage), enabling the achievement of high purity and high yield.

[0064] In Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the mixed solvents of dichloromethane and methanol-water failed to disrupt cell interactions and dissolve the target product, confirming the necessity of using the highly polar aprotic solvent DMF. In Comparative Example 3, ethyl acetate, instead of dichloromethane, failed to achieve selective purification. This confirms the necessity of using dichloromethane, a solvent that precisely utilizes differences in solubility (dissolving products but not impurities), to obtain samples with high purity. In Comparative Example 4, while adding more than 5 times the amount of DMF aided dissolution, it also led to the simultaneous extraction of a large amount of intracellular impurities (such as pigments, lipids, and protein fragments). Excessive solvent not only increased the energy consumption and time of subsequent rotary evaporation (leading to excessive product degradation due to prolonged heating), but also placed an excessive burden on dichloromethane for impurity removal, making it difficult to obtain samples with high purity. In Comparative Example 5, when the extraction temperature was below 60℃, the dissolution rate and solubility of the target compound in DMF decreased significantly, resulting in a large amount of product remaining in the cell residue and failing to be extracted, severely impacting the yield. This confirms that an extraction temperature of 60-80℃ is crucial for ensuring a high yield. This confirms that the various process steps and parameter settings described in this invention can guarantee the acquisition of high-purity, high-yield products.

[0065] Experimental Example 1: The insoluble matter obtained by centrifugation of the fermentation broth in Example 1 was subjected to solubility experiments using different solvents. The experimental results are shown below. Figure 6 Since the product is an intracellular product, based on the solvent solubility state and experimental results, it was found that only DMF and DMSO can dissolve the insoluble matter. However, because DMSO has a high boiling point and is difficult to evaporate to dryness, DMF was used for extraction.

[0066] Example 2: The extract was evaporated to dryness to remove DMF, yielding a brownish-red crude solid. Dissolution experiments were conducted using different solvents. The experimental results are shown below. Figure 7After extracting the product from the cell using DMF, the crude product was extracted with different solvents. It was found that dichloromethane could dissolve the product but not the impurities. Therefore, dichloromethane was used for a second extraction.

[0067] Application Example 1 Take 1.5 g each of the pyridone compound (E)-5-[(hydroxymethylene)amino]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-2,3,6-trione and 5-amino-1,3,4-trihydroxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dione prepared in Example 1, and disperse them evenly in 500 mL of distilled water. Adjust the pH to 5 with acetic acid, and simultaneously place cotton fabric samples in the water for dyeing. Heat to 130 °C and maintain the temperature for 30 min. After cooling, rinse the samples with water and perform color testing. The liquor ratio is 1:50.

[0068] Color depth (K / S): Measured using a colorimeter. The colorimeter measures the reflectance R of the dyed textile, and then R is used according to the Kubelka-Munk formula: K / S = (1-R). 2 / 2R is used to calculate color depth (K / S), where R is reflectance. Average color depth (K / S) is calculated from average reflectance.
