摘要

摘要: 对亚胺还原酶酶库的筛选获得了性能优良的候选酶AdIR1，基于蛋白结构分析对AdIR1进行分子改造，获得了催化效率更高的突变体酶F172Y，并对其进行动力学与热稳定性表征；最后利用所开发的突变酶实现了(S)-1-苯基-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉((S)-1-Ph-THIQ)克级制备，证明了该酶法合成路线的实用性。

Abstract: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-isoquinolines are a significant class of building blocks used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, and exist widely in a variety of chiral amine drugs. Among them, (S)-1-Phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline ((S)-1-Ph-THIQ) is the key precursor for the synthesis of solifenacin, a drug for the treatment of overactive bladder. Imine reductase (IRED)-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of 1-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (1-Ph-DHIQ) is a green and promising route towards chiral 1-Ph-THIQ. However, currently there is only a limited number of reported IREDs that can catalyze the synthesis of chiral 1-Ph-THIQ from 1-Ph-DHIQ, and they may suffer from issues including low activity, poor stereoselectivity, and substrate inhibition. In this study, we first discovered an IRED AdIR1 with considerable properties by screening a panel of IREDs and identified key residues which might affect the activity via homo-modelling and structure comparison. Protein engineering was performed to generate mutant F172Y with elevated catalytic efficiency, which was then characterized in terms of kinetic parameters and thermostability. Finally, preparative synthesis of (S)-1-Ph-THIQ on gram-scale was achieved employing mutant F172Y, demonstrating the considerable applicability of this biocatalytic route in the synthesis of (S)-1-Ph-THIQ.
