D-glutamine is a D type stereoisomer of glutamine which is involved in many metabolic processes. Seeking lower-cost and industrially scalable approaches for the synthesis of D-glutamine is very valuable both in academic career and potential applications. Herein, we developed a novel efficient chemoenzymatic strategy for producing D-glutamine. Initially, DL-glutamine was chemically prepared with cheap and accessible DL-glutamic acid as raw material. Subsequently, the L-glutamine among the racemic mixture was selectively hydrolyzed to L-glutamic acid by Escherichia coli whole-cell system which expressed L-aminopeptidase D-Ala-esterase/amidase (DmpA) from Ochrobactrum anthropi. The left D-glutamine was obtained by isoelectric point precipitation with 70% of the theoretical yield. Furthermore, we optimized enzymatic resolution conditions to determine the optimum parameters as pH 8, 30 °C, 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100, and 1 mM Mn2+. These results suggested that our strategy might be potentially usable for the synthesis of D-glutamine in industrial productions.

Recent studies revealed that thalidomide (1) has unique and broad pharmacological effects on multi-targets although the application of 1 in therapy is still controversial. In this study, we synthesized nitrogen-13-labeled thalidomide ([13N]1) as a potential positron emission tomography (PET) probe using no-carrier-added [13N]NH 3 as a labeling agent. By use of an automated system, [ 13N]1 was prepared by reacting N-phthaloylglutamic anhydride (2) with [13N]NH3, following by cyclization with carbonyldiimidazole in a radiochemical yield of 56±12% (based on [ 11N]NH3, corrected for decay) and specific activity of 49±24GBq/μmol at the end of synthesis (EOS). At EOS, 570-780MBq (n=7) of [13N]1 was obtained at a beam current of 15 μA after 15 min proton bombardment with a synthesis time of 14 min from the end of bombardment. Using a small animal PET scanner, preliminary biodistribution of [ 13N]1 in mice was examined. Copyright
