Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biopharmaceutical synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing xylulose-5-phosphate. Background Technology

[0002] Xylanose-5-phosphate (CAS: 4212-65-1) is a core pentose phosphate intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, playing an irreplaceable role in the regulation of cellular metabolism. Xylanose-5-phosphate can regulate immune metabolic reprogramming, maintain the stemness and directional differentiation ability of T cells, significantly enhance the anti-tumor killing activity of T cells, and inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process of tumor cells, effectively reducing the risk of tumor metastasis. It has extremely high application value in core biomedical fields such as tumor immunotherapy and research on cell metabolic mechanisms. Furthermore, xylanose-5-phosphate can also serve as a key synthetic precursor in the preparation of novel sugar derivatives, pharmaceutical intermediates, and bioactive molecules, with market demand for its large-scale, high-purity products continuing to grow.

[0003] Currently, the preparation methods of xylulose-5-phosphate are mainly divided into two categories: bio-enzyme catalysis and chemical synthesis. Bio-enzyme catalysis relies on the catalytic action of microorganisms or specific enzyme preparations to achieve synthesis, but it has problems such as high enzyme preparation costs, sensitivity of the reaction system to environmental conditions such as temperature and pH, difficulty in separating and purifying the product from the enzyme preparation, low efficiency in large-scale production, and unstable product yield, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of industrial-scale mass production. Chemical synthesis has become the mainstream research direction for the preparation of xylulose-5-phosphate due to its advantages such as strong controllability of product structure, easy guarantee of purity, and good process scalability. However, there are very few reports on related technologies, and the few published chemical synthesis methods have many technical defects, such as: 1. The starting materials are mostly non-commercial rare sugar derivatives, which limit the availability of raw materials and are costly, thus restricting the industrial scale-up of the process from the source; 2. The synthetic route design is unreasonable, the reaction steps are lengthy and the reaction conditions of each step are harsh, and some steps require special reaction environments such as ultra-low temperature and high pressure, which places strict requirements on production equipment and increases the cost of industrial production; 3. The key phosphorylation steps often use expensive phosphorylating reagents, which not only greatly increases the synthesis cost, but also has problems such as poor reaction selectivity and many by-products, resulting in increased difficulty in product separation and low yield; 4. The process parameters of each reaction step lack systematic optimization, the reaction reproducibility is poor, and there is no mature industrial process control scheme, so a chemical synthesis process of xylulose-5-phosphate suitable for large-scale industrial production has not yet been formed.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a chemical synthesis method for xylulose-5-phosphate that is readily available, easy to operate, has mild reaction conditions, a simple and controllable route, high yield, and can be scaled up industrially. Summary of the Invention
