Auxiliary agents, enzymes

Among the several ways of verifying or disproving such a reaction scheme (Chapter 9, Section 9.2), the derivation of a rate law linking a product formation rate or substrate consumption rate with pertinent concentrations of reactants, products, and auxiliary agents such as catalysts probably has the greatest utility, as conversion to product can be predicted. A proper rate law contains only observables, and no intermediates or other unobservable parameters. In enzyme catalysis, the first rate law was written in 1913 by Michaelis and Menten (the corresponding kinetics is therefore aptly named the Michaelis-Menten (MM) mechanism). 

Aprotinin is a polypeptide consisting of 58 amino acid residues derived from bovine lung tissues and shows inhibitory activity toward various proteolytic enzymes including chymo-trypsin, kallikrein, plasmin, and trypsin. It was also one of the first enzyme inhibitors used as an auxiliary agent for oral (poly)peptide administration. The co-administration of aprotinin led to an increased bioavailability of peptide and protein drugs [5,44,45], The Bowman-Birk inhibitor (71 amino acids, 8 kDa) and the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (184 amino acids, 21 kDa) belong to the soybean trypsin inhibitors. Both are known to inhibit trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase, whereas carboxypeptidase A and B cannot be inhibited [7,46],...

Substrates or products of the TK reaction cannot be specifically quantified by any molecular property, which requires a subsequent specific chemical or enzyme-catalyzed cascade reaction to create a measurable signal for specific quantification. Such coupled assays can be classified according to the nature of the auxiliary agent involved in the cascade reaction. Depending on the principle of the assay, continuous measurements or only discontinuous end-point determinations can be made.

Dihydrofolate reductase acts as an auxiliary enzyme for thymidylate synthase. It is involved in the regeneration of the coenzyme N, N -methylene-THF, initially reducing DHF to THF with NADPH as the reductant (see p. 418). The folic acid analogue methotrexate, a frequently used cytostatic agent, is an extremely effective competitive inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase. It leads to the depletion of N, N -methylene-THF in the cells and thus to cessation of DNA synthesis. 

The initial concentration of the solution was 10.0 g of ( )-(62) in 50 g of acetone. In all runs, 10 mg of seed crystals were used. From the 10 runs highlighted in the 18.1, 21.0 g of /2-(-)-(62) of >92.0% ee and 21.4 g of (jS)-(+)-(62) of >90% ee are obtained from an input of 50.4 g of racemate. The table also nicely illustrates the continuous nature of the process, which coupled with the fact that no resolving agent, chiral auxiliary, enzyme, or catalyst is needed, underlines the economic advantages of this type of process. 

Bufuralol (11) is a p-adrcnoccptor agent (beta-blocker), developed by Roche [8,9], As part of a continuing program on the synthesis of substrates and metabolites for Cytochrome P450 studies, we wished to prepare both optically active bufuralol and an important metabolite, the hydroxybufuralol (12). This brief account of our efforts illustrates the way in which classical resolution is giving way to asymmetric synthesis, whether mediated by synthetic chiral auxiliaries, conventional catalysts, or enzymes.

As a part of ongoing efforts to synthesize a potent, orally active anti-platelet agent, xemilofiban 1 [1], development of an efficient chemoenzymatic process for 2, the chiral yS-amino acid ester synthon (Fig. 1) was proposed. The scheme emphasized the creation of the stereogenic center as the key step. In parallel with the enzymatic approach, chemical synthesis of the / -amino acid ester synthon emphasized formation of a chiral imine, nucleophilic addition of the Reformatsky reagent, and oxidative removal of the chiral auxiliary. This chapter describes a selective amida-tion/amide hydrolysis using the enzyme Penicillin G amidohydrolase from E. coli to synthesize (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of ethyl 3-amino-5-(trimethylsilyl)-4-pen-tynoate in an optically pure form. The design of the experimental approach was applied in order to optimize the critical reaction parameters to control the stereoselectivity of the enzyme Penicillin G amidohydrolase.

In this context, new assays for TK activity detection have been recently developed. This chapter describes the recent in vivo and in vitro TK assays based on cascade reactions involving one or more auxiliary enzymes and/or protein and/or nonprotein agents (Scheme 15.3).
