专利号:US-2024035023-A1 优先权日:2022-06-24 标题 :Computer implemented method for engineering fluorinase enzymes for synthesis of fluorophenyl compounds 发明人:R PRAVIN KUMAR; G GLADSTONE SIGAMANI; L ROOPA; B K NAVEEN; SHETTY ANUJ J; M LIKITH 权利人:KCAT ENZYMATIC PRIVATE LTD 摘要:The present invention discloses a computer-implemented method for engineering fluorinase enzymes towards the synthesis of fluorophenyl compounds. Limited or no mechanistic details of fluorinase enzymes have hindered progress in understanding their catalytic mechanisms for synthesizing synthetic organofluorine compounds. Through a comprehensive computational screening process, specific methionine-sulfonium phenyl substrates, including [(3S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl][2,5-difluoro-4-(4-methoxy-2,4-dioxobutyl)phenyl]methylsulfonium, were designed and optimized using quantum chemical optimization techniques. This methodology uncovers crucial information on F— ion attack conformation and the catalytic mechanism of the substrate, leading to the formation of Methyl 3-oxo-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butanoate. Furthermore, a protein sequence and 3D modeling-based enzyme screening process was employed to identify the most suitable enzyme for this substrate. The identified enzyme was then engineered using the mechanistic insights gained from the studies, resulting in improved substrate scope, stability and catalytic efficiency. This computer-based approach offers an efficient and precise alternative to traditional trial-and-error methods, advancing the field towards the successful synthesis fluorophenyl compounds.

The biologically derived intermediates (“bio-intermediatesâ€?) generally represent particularly difficult compounds to synthesize using traditional chemical approaches due to one or more stereocenters. In one aspect of the invention, an intermediate in the synthesis of epothilone is provided that feeds into the synthetic protocol of Danishefsky and co-workers. In another aspect of the invention, intermediates in the synthesis of discodermolide are provided that feed into the synthetic protocol of Smith and co-workers. By taking advantage of the inherent stereochemical specificity of biological processes, the syntheses of key intermediates and thus the overall syntheses of compounds like epothilone and discodermolide are greaty simplified.

The method comprises providing an enzyme capable of converting psi-ionone to cis-α-irone; and contacting the enzyme and psi-ionone under suitable conditions to produce cis-α-irone. The enzyme may be a methyltransferase from Streptomyces albireticuli (SaMT), a promiscuous bifunctional methyltransferase/cyclase (pMT1) enzyme from Streptomyces, or a modified pMT1 enzyme with at least one substitution. The enzymes allow the in-vivo and in-vitro production of cis-α-irone including the use of glucose as feedstock for the biotransformation into cis-α-irone.
