THERMOSTABLE BIOCATALYST COMBINATION FOR NUCLEOSIDE SYNTHESIS
-
Paragraph 0090-0091, (2016/08/17)
The present invention relates to a transglycosylation method for the preparation of natural and synthetic nucleosides using a uridine phosphorylase (PyNPase, E.C. 2.4.2.3), a purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase, E.C. 2.4.2.1), or a combination thereof. These biocatalysts may be used as such, or by means of host cells transformed with vectors comprising recombinant DNA gene derived from hyperthermophilic archaea and encoding for the PyNPase and PNPase enzymes.

Using an inexpensive D-galactose from the chiral pool, L-deoxyribose, L-ribose and their derivatives were synthesized via mild reaction conditions. During the synthesis of L-deoxyribose, the key deoxygenation of the 2-hydroxy group of 3,5-O-dibenzyl-methyl-L-arabinofuranoside was performed by reduction of the corresponding triflate with tetrabutylammonium borohydride in high yield. During the synthesis of L-ribose, the key step of inversion of the 2-hydroxy group in the same substrate was carried out by intramolecular SN2 tandem reaction. Then the L-ribosyl donors were submitted to glycosidations according to Vorbrüggen's conditions to give L-ribosides (L-uridine, L-5-fluorouridine, L-iodouridine, L-thymidine, L-puridine, L-adenosine and L-guanosine) in excellent yields.

In the search for new chemotherapeutic agents, we have focused our work on the synthesis and the study of several unnatural β-L-nucleoside analogues. In this paper, we report on the synthesis of β-L-pentofuranonucleosides (and their 2′-deoxy derivatives) of 5-fluorouracil and their inhibitory effects on the proliferation of several murine and human tumor cells. The corresponding 5-fluorocytosine derivatives were also synthesized and their anti-HIV and anti-HBV activities have been evaluated.
