摘要

N-Cbz-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide or N-Boc-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide are alternative key intermediates for the synthesis of saxagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP4) inhibitor recently approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. An efficient biocatalytic method was developed for conversion of L-ornithine, N-α-benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-L-ornthine, and N-α-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-L-ornithine to 5-hydroxy-L-proline, N-Cbz-5-hydroxy-L-proline, and N-Boc-5-hydroxy-L-proline, respectively. Rec. Escherichia coli expressing lysine-ε-aminotransferase and rec Pichia pastoris expressing L-ornithine oxidase were used for these conversions. N-Cbz-5-hydroxy-L-proline, and N-Boc-5-hydroxy-L-proline were chemically converted to key intermediates N-Cbz-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide and N-Boc-4,5-dehydro-L-prolineamide, respectively.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
