AI Technical Summary
Current methods for producing optically active N-alkyl amino acids from N-alkyl amino acid esters are inefficient, offering low yields and low enantioselectivity, which limits their application in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, particularly for compounds like arylomycin analogs that require stereochemically pure unnatural amino acids.
The use of dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) catalyzed by carboxylic ester hydrolases, such as Lipase 147, in an aqueous solution to convert enantiomeric mixtures of N-alkyl amino acid esters into enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl amino acids, achieving high yields and enantioselectivity through continuous in situ epimerization.
This method enables the rapid and modular preparation of enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl amino acids with yields up to 99% and enantiomeric excess of 99%, overcoming the limitations of classical resolution strategies and providing a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic unnatural amino acids.

ENZYMATIC ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESES OF N-ALKYL AMINO ACIDS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 383,349 filed on November 11, 2022, the content of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH
[0002] This application contains an invention made with Government support under Agreement HHSO100201800036C, awarded by HHS. The Government has certain rights in the invention. FIELD
[0003] The subject matter described herein is directed to methods useful for preparing enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl amino acids using enzyme-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of N-alkyl amino acid esters via hydrolysis. BACKGROUND
[0004] It is inefficient to produce optically N-alkyl active amino acids by using a racemic amino acid ester as a raw material. In particular, it is a challenge to obtain optically N-alkyl active amino acids from N-alkyl amino acid esters in high yield and with high enantioselectivity. Yet such N-alkyl amino acids can be building blocks for the chemical synthesis of pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, and agrochemicals. For example, the preparation of the ring portion of arylomycin-like compounds can be made from enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl amino acid starting materials. Arylomycin-like compounds have been identified as inhibitors of bacterial signal peptidases and show potential for treatment of infections involving Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains that are resistant to existing antibiotics.

[0014] The ever growing importance of enantiomerically enriched unnatural amino acids as chiral building blocks used in catalysis, bioactive peptidomimetics drugs, agrochemicals, and semi-synthetic antibiotics has created a need for synthesizing these molecules efficiently. As an illustrative example, enantiomerically enriched building blocks are required for synthesizing arylomycin analogs for therapeutic use as antibiotics. In particular, one of the key challenges presented by these analogues is a practical access to the stereochemically pure unnatural N- alkyl amino acids. The methods described herein address this need.
[0015] Several chemo and biocatalytic methods have been reported for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched unnatural amino acids. Yet the methods require high catalyst loadings, toxic metals, expensive chirality sources, or narrow substrate scope and tend to suffer from low yields and racemization, limiting their practical application in pharmaceutical manufacturing. For example, the enantiomerically enriched unnatural amino acid D-hydroxyphenylglycine can be produced by using (a) two sequential enzymatic reactions catalyzed by D-hydantoinase and N-carbamoylase or (b) a recombinant E. coli strain expressingboth enzymes. But these methods are limited in scope. Alternatively, racemic synthesis followed by diastereoisomeric salt crystallization or kinetic resolution can be used, however, the latter approach is limited to a maximum yield of 50% for the desired enantiomer.
[0016] Furthermore, access to enantiomerically enriched N-methyl or N-alkyl–arylglycines pose additional challenges, as most of the methods reported suffer from drawbacks such as low chemical yields, narrow substrate scope, and racemization problems. The disclosed methods are based on dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR), driven by continuous in situ rapid epimerization of the starting material, and are useful for asymmetric preparation of N-alkyl amino acid building blocks. These building blocks have nearly limitless uses. With a theoretical yield of 100%, the disclosed methods using DKR provide a solution to overcome the low theoretical yield encountered with classical resolution strategies and alternative access to enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl unnatural amino acids. These methods are useful for the rapid and modular preparation of a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic enantiomerically enriched N-alkyl amino acids, in particular, unnatural amino acids (e.g., hydroxyphenylglycines and N-alkyl-hydroxyphenylglycines), in up to about 99% yield and up to about 99% enantiomerically enriched (ee).
[0017] The methods herein are practical, high yielding, and highly enantioselective and comprise carboxylic ester hydrolase-catalyzed DKR of a unique type of substrate N-alkyl amino acid esters, such as PEGylated amino acid esters or alkyl amino acid esters. The carboxylic ester hydrolase, for example, Lipase 147 from Evoxx Technologies GmbH (evo- 1.3.147.S), acts as a biocatalyst under basic conditions to produce a broad range of N-alkyl- hydroxyphenylglycines and other unnatural amino acids, as depicted in Scheme 1.
[0018] Also described herein is the beneficial finding that the methods are performed under aqueous conditions. Solubilizing the N-alkyl amino acid esters, such as by using PEGylated esters, can confer an improvement over some hydrophobic carboxylic ester hydrolase substrates, allowing for enhanced enzymatic reactivity and scalability. In some embodiments, the PEGylated substrates of the methods of the disclosure have increased solubility compared to some hydrophobic carboxylic ester hydrolase substrates in aqueous media, therefore allowing for a higher reactivity of the enzyme and permitting a significant decrease in carboxylic ester hydrolase loading while still achieving complete conversion. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the increased solubility may facilitate the accessibility of the substrate to the enzyme. The PEGylated esters of the methods of the disclosure may also represent activated esters (like MEM-esters) (Iyer, P. V.; Ananthanarayan, L. Process Biochem. 2008, 43,1019-1032) with increased enzymatic activity, even at lower pH values (e.g., pH 8.7 versuspH 9.2). These PEGylated esters of the methods of the disclosure may also obviate the need for additional organic solvent to solubilize the substrate. Organic solvents may negatively influence the catalytic activity of the enzyme by changing the enzyme’s three-dimensional structure.
[0019] A general synthetic route for the methods described herein is depicted in Scheme 1.Scheme 1

It should be appreciated that the reaction which produces the indicated and / or the desired product may not necessarily result directly from the combination of two reagents which were initially added, e.g., there may be one or more intermediates which are produced in the mixture which ultimately leads to the formation of the indicated and / or the desired product.
[0039] As used herein, the abbreviation “PEG” refers to poly(ethylene glycol), also known as poly(ethylene oxide), abbreviated PEO. As a co-solvent, in its most common form, PEG is alinear polymer terminated at each end with hydroxyl groups: HO—CH2CH2O— (CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—OH, wherein n is an integer. The polymer, alpha-,omega- dihydroxylpoly(ethylene glycol), can be represented in brief form as “HO-PEG-OH” where it is understood that the “PEG” symbol represents the following structural unit: —CH2CH2O— (CH2CH2O)n—CH2CH2—, wherein n is an integer typically ranging from about 3 to about 4000, or the value of n is such that the average molecular weight of the polymer is from about 200 kDa to about 6,000 kDa.

Useful acidic solvents include formic acid, acetic acid, and the like. Useful non-polar solvents include cyclohexanes; heptane; hexanes; esters such as ethyl acetate or butyl acetate; and the like. This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, and combinations of solvents that may be useful can include more than one member of a class, and / or can be from different classes.
[0042] As used herein, “co-solvent” means an additional solvent used in the aqueous reaction system. Not all organic solvents are contemplated as co-solvents in the reaction systems described herein.

[0043] In some embodiments of the disclosure, the concentration of the enantiomeric mixture of Formula I-i in the aqueous solution may be provided in mL / g. For example, if the concentration of the enantiomeric mixture of Formula I-i in the aqueous solution is 15 mL / g, this means that there are 15 mL of aqueous solution per 1 gram of the enantiomeric mixture of Formula I-i.
[0044] References to wt% as used herein are based upon the weight of amino acid ester substrate used in the method. In other words, the weight of amino acid ester substrate is the standard used to determine the wt% of other method components. Accordingly, one equivalent of amino acid ester substrate—based upon weight—is present in the methods of the disclosure and all other parameters are calculated versus that reference. For example, if 5 g of PEGylated amino acid ester substrate is used in a method, an enzyme loading of 5 wt% would equal 0.25 g of enzyme.
[0045] In some embodiments of the disclosure, the concentration of the co-solvent in the aqueous solution may be provided as % v / v. For example, if the aqueous solution has a volume of 100 mL and there are 20 mL of PEG400 present in the aqueous solution, the % v / v of PEG400 in the aqueous solution is 20%.
[0046] In some embodiments, the method of the disclosure does not comprise a chromatographic purification or only minimal chromatography is used (e.g., one chromatographic purification). As used herein, chromatographic purification and column chromatography refers to the separation of bulk substances based on differential adsorption of compounds to the adsorbent in a column, where compounds move through the column at different rates, which allows different compounds to be separated into fractions.
[0047] “C1-4alcohol” refers to C1-4alkyl groups wherein one or two hydrogen atoms are substituted by OH radicals. Non-limiting examples include: methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, iso-butanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol.

[0049] The enantiomerically enriched compounds of Formula I of the disclosure may exist as a salt. Such salts may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base (e.g., if the compound of Formula (I) is a free acid). Salts include, for example, those derived from organic bases (such as an amine (e.g., a primary, secondary or tertiary amine)), an alkali metal hydroxide, alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. Illustrative examples of salts include, but are not limited to, organic salts derived from amino acids (such as lysine, glycine, or arginine); ammonia; primary, secondary, and tertiary amines (e.g., dicyclohexylamine); cyclic amines (such as piperidine, morpholine, and piperazine); and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum, or lithium (such as derived from inorganic bases such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and the like). In some embodiments, the salt of the enantiomerically enriched compound of Formula I is a lysine, piperazine, or dicyclohexylamine salt. In some embodiments, the salt of the enantiomerically enriched compound of Formula I is a lysine salt. In some embodiments, the salt of the enantiomerically enriched compound of Formula I is a piperazine salt. In some embodiments, the salt of the enantiomerically enriched compound of Formula I is a dicyclohexylamine salt.
[0050] The enantiomerically enriched compounds of Formula I of the disclosure may exist as solvates. The term “solvate” may refer to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute and solvent. Such solvents for the purpose of the disclosure may not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, MeOH, and EtOH.

Example 1 – Enzyme Screening
[0473] A preliminary microscale screen for carboxylic ester hydrolase activity was performed with a library containing 277 hydrolytic enzymes (lipases, esterases, proteases and acylases) on racemic N-methyl-hydroxyphenylglycine analog 1a. Treating an iPrOH solution of 1a with 100 wt% of each enzyme in a 7.5 mM Tris-buffered aqueous media at pH 8 for 2 days at room temperature gave six hits with significant HPLC conversions (9-51 A% HPLC) and high enantiomeric excess (Table 1). In subsequent validation experiments, 1a (2.5 mg, 5.9 µmol) in 50 µL of iPrOH was treated with 200 wt% of each enzyme (in order to ensure detection of activity, ~5 mg enzyme was added) in a 10 mM Tris-buffered aqueous media at pH 8 (950 µL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. Commercially available carboxylic ester hydrolase Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, Enzyme identifier: evo- 1.3.147.S, gave the highest conversion of product 2a with the desired (S) selectivity (Table 1, entry 6).

[0475] Table 1. Reaction Results and Data.
[0476] Conversions were determined by using the measured enantiomeric excess of the substrates (esters) and products (acids) according to the method described by Chen, C.S.; Fujimoto, Y.; Girdaukas, G; Sih, C. J. Quantitative Analyses of Biochemical Kinetic Resolutions of Enantiomers J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1982, 104, 7294–7299.Example 2: Determination of DKR Conditions
[0477] The potential for a dynamic kinetic resolution was evaluated. In the absence of any carboxylic ester hydrolase (or lipase), it was found that the experimental range for a dynamic kinetic resolution that would minimize the background hydrolysis reaction was between 35– 45 °C and pH 8–9.5 (pH maintained by high buffer loading, high buffer capacity, or static pH). Conditions in agreement with the Hoffmann test were used to show that DKR conditions had been reached. Hirsch, R.; Hoffmann, R. W. Chiral Organometallic Reagents, V[1] A Test on the Configurational Stability of Chiral Organolithium Compounds Based on Kinetic Resolution; Scope and Limitations Chem. Ber.1995, 125, 975–982.
[0478] A variety of N-methyl-hydroxyphenylglycine esters 1 were synthesized and their relative enzymatic hydrolysis activity with Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, evo- 1.3.147.S was explored (Table 2a, entries 1–6). The stability to chemical hydrolysis of the esters was also tested for a 20 hour incubation period in different buffers (Table 2b).
[0479] In view of these results, dynamic kinetic resolution conditions were modified using n-butyl ester 1c due to its good enzymatic activity and high chemical stability to hydrolysis, as well as PEGylated ester 1f due to its high enzymatic activity.

[0484] Reaction conditions were modified, such as temperature (reactivity), buffers (pH), salts (salting in and out effects), solvents (substrate accessibility) and bases (racemization rate). 1 M aqueous glycine buffer, pH 9.6, at 45 °C and the addition of 10%-20% v / v of polyethyleneglycol (PEG200 or PEG400) provided improvements in the conversions and eventually allowed for reduction of the carboxylic ester hydrolase (or lipase) loading from 100 wt% to much lower loadings (Table 3). Additional bases and salts had no beneficial impact.
[0485] The observed solubilizing properties of the polyethyleneglycol (PEG200 or PEG400) as co-solvent led to design and synthesis of new PEGylated N-alkyl amino acid derivatives, integrating the hydrophilic PEG chains directly onto the substrates (Table 3, entries 8–10). The PEGylated (1f and 1h) N-alkyl amino acid esters exhibited improved aqueous solubility and enzymatic reactivity, which allowed for reduction of the enzyme loading to 5 wt% while maintaining >95% conversion and >98% ee (Table 3, entries 8–10).
[0486] Scheme 4 depicts the synthetic routes in Example 3.Scheme 4
[0487] Table 3. Reaction Results, Data and ConditionsExample 4: Verification on Gram Scale
[0488] Reactions were repeated on gram scale at 20 mL / g (5 w / v%, 1.25 g) substrate loading with 1c and 1f, where the pH of the reaction was adjusted to pH 9.2 (pH stat using 1 M sodium carbonate solution) for 1c and stayed roughly at pH 8.7 for 1f. Because of the acidity of the phenol component of the substrates, adjustment of the pH of the initial reaction medium was found to be important to ensure adequate substrate racemization, while still maintaining enzyme activity. Therefore, complete conversion and 99% ee of 2a from 1c was observed after 65 h in 1 M glycine buffer and 10% (v / v) PEG 200 when using 13.3 wt% of Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, evo-1.3.147.S at 45 °C and pH 9.2. Complete conversion and 98.8% eeof 2a from 1f was observed after 21 h in 1 M glycine buffer and 10% (v / v) PEG 400 when using 10 wt% of Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, evo-1.3.147.S at 45 °C and pH 8.7. It was possible to further reduce the enzyme loading to 2 wt% for 1f and still achieve full conversion and 97.9% ee after 44 h. Example 5: Variability of Substrate
[0489] To establish the general scope and applicability of the method, the modified reaction conditions were applied to a series of aromatic and aliphatic PEGylated N-alkyl amino acid esters and n-butyl N-alkyl amino acid esters (Tables 4a and 4b). This method was demonstrated on 0.5 mmol scale and proved to be effective for the dynamic kinetic resolution of a variety of substrates (Tables 4a and 4b).
[0490] As many of the unnatural N-alkyl amino acids prepared herein were unknown, the absolute stereochemistry for 2v was determined to be (S) by comparing the sign of the optical rotation with literature data and assuming the same sense of induction for the other substrate. This accorded with the fact that Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, evo-1.3.147.S has demonstrated S selectivity. The absolute stereochemistry of 2v was determined by comparison with literature, see Hanessian, S.; Babonneau, V.; Boyer, N.; Mannoury la Cour, C.; Millan, M. J.; De Nanteuil, G. Design and synthesis of potential dual NK1 / NK3 receptor antagonists Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett.2014, 24, 510–514. (S)-(Benzyloxycarbonyl-methyl-amino)-phenyl- acetic acid: + 112.7 (c 1, CHCl3); Experimental +126.6 (c 0.923, CHCl3).
[0491] This methodology converted a series of PEGylated and N-alkylated - hydroxyphenylglycine esters with neutral, electron withdrawing or donating groups (Table 4a, entries 1–8 and 11–20 and Table 4b, entries 2–3), simple PEGylated N-methyl-phenylglycine esters (Table 4a, entries 21–24) and finally O-benzyl (or substituted O-benzyl) or O-SEM protected aromatic PEGylated amino acid esters (Table 4a, entries 25–28 and Table 4b, entries 1 and 4–7) to their corresponding enantiomerically enriched N-methyl-hydroxyphenylglycine and N-methyl-phenylglycine derivatives in high yields and high ee. Additionally, longer chains on the nitrogen such as N-butyl-hydroxyphenylglycine were well tolerated by the enzyme, producing 88% yield in 97% ee of the desired product 2l (Table 4a, entries 9–10). This method also allowed for preparation of aliphatic enantiomerically enriched unnatural N-alkyl amino acids, such as the ones reported in Tables 5a and 5b below.

[0498] This methodology detailed above allowed for the preparation of (S)-2- (((benzyloxy)carbonyl)(methyl)amino)-2-(3-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)acetic acid (2a) on a ~10 mmol scale. The methodology required low enzyme loading (5 wt%) and provided 2a in 94% yield and 98% ee without the need for chromatographic purification (eq 1). See Scheme 7.
[0499] To a 100 mL reaction vessel equipped with overhead stirring, temperature-controlled jacket, thermocouple, and pH probe, was added PEGylated amino acid ester 1f (5.0 g, 9.25 mmol, 1 equiv.) and PEG400 (7.5 mL, 1.5 mL / g) followed by 1 M aqueous glycine buffer (pH = 9.6, 57.5 mL, 11.5 mL / g). Lipase 147, Evoxx Technologies GmbH, evo-1.3.147.S (250 mg, 5 wt%) was dissolved in 1 M aqueous glycine buffer (pH = 9.6, 10 mL, 2 mL / g) by gentle agitation, then added to the reaction mixture. The reactor was heated to an internal temperatureof 45 °C over 30 minutes and then stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (50 mL, 10 mL / g) and iPrOAc (100 mL, 20 mL / g), the layers were separated and the organic phase was discarded. Additional iPrOAc (100 mL, 20 mL / g) was added, the pH was adjusted to 4.0 with a solution of 20 wt% aqueous NaHSO4 (11 mL) and the layers were separated. The organic layer was filtered through a 0.45 µM PTFE filter to remove residual precipitated protein, washed with 18 wt% NaCl (3 x 50 mL), and dried over Na2SO4, filtered andconcentrated under vacuum to provide 2a (3.42 g, 94% yield, 98% ee).1H NMR (500 MHz, MeOD) į: 7.47–7.23 (m, 6H), 7.15–7.10 (m, 1H), 6.87 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, 1H), 5.75 (s (br), 1H), 5.17 (s (br), 2H), 2.75 (s, 3H);13C NMR (126 MHz, MeOD) į 175.5, 159.0, 153.7, 136.9, 133.8, 130.0, 129.6, 128.1, 127.5, 127.3, 115.6, 109.2, 67.0, 64.1, 30.5; HRMS HESI (m / z): [M + H]+calcd for C17H17BrNO5, 394.0290; found 394.0270.

[0500] Scheme 7 depicts the synthetic route in Example 6.Example 7: Optimized, Scaled Process of 2ac
[0501] After fine-tuning of the process conditions (pH 9.5 and 34 °C) for the dynamic kinetic resolution of the PEG-ester (Table 4b, entry 4), (2S)-2-(4-benzoxy-3-bromo-5-hydroxy- phenyl)-2-[carbobenzoxy(methyl)amino]acetic acid (2ac) was produced on ~2 mol scale in two batches.
[0502] Process description of a single batch:
[0503] A glycine buffer was prepared by mixing 10 L water and 244 g glycine and was pre- adjusted to pH 9.6 with 825 g of 8 w / v% sodium hydroxide solution (i.e., 8% NaOH weight in the sodium hydroxide solution). At 31 °C a substrate solution consisting of 622 g 2-(4-benzoxy- 3-bromo-5-hydroxy-phenyl)-2-[carbobenzoxy(methyl)amino] acetic acid 2-[2-(2- methoxyethoxy)ethoxy] ethyl ester and 1.24 L 2-propanol was added into the glycine buffer. The pH dropped to 9.5 and the temperature increased to 34 °C by the addition of the substrate solution. The reaction started by the addition of 62 g (10 wt%) lipase 147, Evoxx TechnologiesGmbH, evo-1.3.147.S. The temperature was controlled to 34 °C and the pH was kept constant by the addition of 1 N NaOH until reaction completion (a total of 1.55 L in 25 h).
[0504] Product isolation description of the combined two batches:
[0505] The combined reaction solution was washed with an organic solution mixture consisting of 24 L cyclohexane and 1 L MTBE. The pH of separated water phase was adjusted to 7.0 by the addition of 542 mL 25 w / v% HCl (i.e., 25% HCl weight in the HCl solution). Subsequently 24 L of MTBE were added and the pH was further reduced to 2.5 by the addition of 720 mL 25 w / v% HCl and allowed to stir for another hour (complete precipitation of the lipase). The mixture was filtrated through a bed of 2 kg dicalite (lipase removal). The filter bed was washed twice with 5 L MTBE. The separated MTBE phase was washed twice with 20 L water.
[0506] As the product is a highly viscuous gum, its MTBE solution was evaporated (40 °C / 450 mbar) and the remaining viscous oil re-dissolved in 10 L MTBE. The subsequent evaporation was proceeded until a final weight of the MTBE solution of 3166 g was achieved. 36.1 g of this solution were evaporated until 4 mbar were reached and kept for 8 hours. The remaining 11.1 g consisted of the target compound and remaining MTBE in a ratio of 1:0.28 molar (1H NMR). The final product solution of 3166 g contained 925 g (96% yield) target compound (2ac) in a purity >99 area% and an ee of 99.0% (chiral HPLC).
