  • Thiourea Derivatives of Tröger's Base
    General Papers ARKIVOC 2009 (xiv) 124-134 Thiourea derivatives of Tröger’s base: synthesis, enantioseparation and evaluation in organocatalysis of Michael addition to nitroolefins Delphine Didiera and Sergey Sergeyeva,b* a Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères, CP 206/01, Boulevard du Triomphe, 1050 Brussels, Belgium b University of Antwerp, Department of Chemistry, Groenenborgerlaan 171, 2020 Antwerp, Belgium E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The catalytic activity of racemic thiourea derivatives of Tröger’s base (±)-2–4 in Michael additions of malonate derivatives to trans-β-nitrostyrene was studied. Due to the low basicity of Tröger’s base, the outcome of the addition reactions was strongly dependent on the pKa of the nucleophile. Thiourea catalysts (±)-2, 3 were resolved on the chiral stationary phase Whelk O1. Unfortunately, enantiopure catalysts 2 and 3 showed no stereoselectivity in the Michael addition. Keywords: Tröger’s base, thiourea, Michael addition, catalysis, WhelkO1 Introduction In the recent years, asymmetric organocatalysis has emerged as a competitive, environment- friendlier alternative to catalysis with transition metal complexes. While simple molecules such as derivatives of proline have been receiving a great deal of attention due to their availability, considerable effort has been directed towards searching for novel chiral scaffolds for asymmetric organocatalysis.1 Tröger’s base 1 is a chiral diamine bearing two stereogenic bridge-head nitrogen atoms (Figure 1). The two aromatic rings fused to the central bicyclic framework are almost perpendicular to each other, creating a rigid, V-shaped C2-symmetrical molecular scaffold with a distance of ca. 1nm between the two extremities.2 Due to its chirality and relatively rigid geometry, one would intuitively expect a considerable interest for analogues of Tröger’s base in the field of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis.

    j1 Part I Principles of Enzyme Catalysis Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition. Edited by Karlheinz Drauz, Harald Groger,€ and Oliver May. Ó 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities.

Trehalose biosynthesis and accumulation are important for the survival of such organisms by protecting the structure and function of proteins and membranes. Trehalose affects the dynamics of proteins and water molecules in the bulk and the protein hydration shell. Enzyme catalysis and other processes dependent on protein dynamics are affected by the viscosity generated by trehalose, as described by the Kramers’ theory of rate reactions. Enzyme/protein stabilization by trehalose against thermal inactivation/unfolding is also explained by the viscosity mediated hindering of the thermally generated structural dynamics, as described by Kramers’ theory. The analysis of the relationship of viscosity–protein dynamics, and its effects on enzyme/protein function and other processes (thermal inactivation and unfolding/folding), is the focus of the present work regarding the disaccharide trehalose as the viscosity generating solute. Finally, trehalose is widely used (alone or in combination with other compounds) in the stabilization of enzymes in the laboratory and in biotechnological applications; hence, considering the effect of viscosity on catalysis and stability of enzymes may help to improve the results of trehalose in its diverse uses/applications.

  • Cutinases from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
    Identification of Residues Involved in Substrate Specificity and Cytotoxicity of Two Closely Related Cutinases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Luc Dedieu, Carole Serveau-Avesque, Ste´phane Canaan* CNRS - Aix-Marseille Universite´ - Enzymologie Interfaciale et Physiologie de la Lipolyse - UMR 7282, Marseille, France Abstract The enzymes belonging to the cutinase family are serine enzymes active on a large panel of substrates such as cutin, triacylglycerols, and phospholipids. In the M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome, seven genes coding for cutinase-like proteins have been identified with strong immunogenic properties suggesting a potential role as vaccine candidates. Two of these enzymes which are secreted and highly homologous, possess distinct substrates specificities. Cfp21 is a lipase and Cut4 is a phospholipase A2, which has cytotoxic effects on macrophages. Structural overlay of their three-dimensional models allowed us to identify three areas involved in the substrate binding process and to shed light on this substrate specificity. By site-directed mutagenesis, residues present in these Cfp21 areas were replaced by residues occurring in Cut4 at the same location. Three mutants acquired phospholipase A1 and A2 activities and the lipase activities of two mutants were 3 and 15 fold greater than the Cfp21 wild type enzyme. In addition, contrary to mutants with enhanced lipase activity, mutants that acquired phospholipase B activities induced macrophage lysis as efficiently as Cut4 which emphasizes the relationship between apparent phospholipase A2 activity and cytotoxicity. Modification of areas involved in substrate specificity, generate recombinant enzymes with higher activity, which may be more immunogenic than the wild type enzymes and could therefore constitute promising candidates for antituberculous vaccine production.

BACKGROUND In recent years, catalysis has had a huge impact on the nature of organic synthesis. With the increasing emphasis on green chemistry and sustainable processes, the development of new, highly enantioselective methodologies for the 25 synthesis of new, 3D scaffolds has become of paramount importance for organic chemists. A clear example is the 2001 Nobel Prize awarded to K. B. Sharpless, R. Noyori and W. S. Knowles for their contributions to this field. A further step towards the development of greener methodologies was made in 2000 with the “renaissance” of organocatalysis by the pioneering works of B. List1 and D.W.C. 30 MacMillan.2 List et al.1 developed the first intermolecular enantioselective aldol reaction catalyzed by proline through enamine activation, while MacMillan and coworkers2 developed the first organocatalyzed enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction through iminium activation.
