The invention relates to a biological preparation method of an intermediate of
atazanavir. (S)-
tertiary butyl (4-chloro-3-carbonyl-1-
benzene butyl-2-yl)
carbamic acid ester is taken as a substrate. The preparation method comprises the following steps of adding the substrate, a cosolvent and glucose into a reactor, stirring uniformly, weighing ketoreductase
powder,
glucose dehydrogenase and
cofactor, dissolving in a water phase buffered solution with pH of 8-9, adding the obtained
mixed solution into the reactor, stirring, controlling the temperature to be at 32DEG C-34 DEG C, and beginning reacting, wherein at the beginning of the reaction, the
mass volume ratio concentration of the substrate is 0.05-0.2g / ml, and the
mass ratio of the added ketoreductase to
cofactor to glucose to the substrate is (0.02-0.03):(0.001-0.005):(0.8-1.2):1. Compared with the prior art, the biological preparation method realizes more environment-friendly and mild biological conversion process with high reaction efficiency, and has important application value.
