Abstract
This work extends the present knowledge about the ability of filamentous fungi and Baker’s Yeast to selectively transform oxygen-containing compounds. Previously, it has been demonstrated that several species of the Aspergillus genus are able to perform selective oxidation of benzopyrans. Isochroman or 3,4-dihydro-1H-benzopyran (1) was chosen as model substrate for the biotransformation since related motifs are often found in the structure of natural products with important biological and pharmacological activities. All the tested strains showed the ability to oxidize 1. Chemodivergent reaction pathways between the employed microorganisms were observed. The use of cytochrome P450 enzyme inhibitors, and different oxygenation conditions allowed to inquire about the type of enzymes involved in the process. The results obtained were compared with chemical one-electron oxidation of compound 1 and thus, a metabolic pathway was proposed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Molecular Catalysis B: Enzymatic is an international forum for researchers and product developers in the applications of whole-cell and cell-free enzymes as catalysts in organic synthesis. Emphasis is on mechanistic and synthetic aspects of the biocatalytic transformation.
Papers should report novel and significant advances in one or more of the following topics;
Applied and fundamental studies of enzymes used for biocatalysis;
Industrial applications of enzymatic processes, e.g. in fine chemical synthesis;
Chemo-, regio- and enantioselective transformations;
Screening for biocatalysts;
Integration of biocatalytic and chemical steps in organic syntheses;
Novel biocatalysts, e.g. enzymes from extremophiles and catalytic antibodies;
Enzyme immobilization and stabilization, particularly in non-conventional media;
Bioprocess engineering aspects, e.g. membrane bioreactors;
Improvement of catalytic performance of enzymes, e.g. by protein engineering or chemical modification;
Structural studies, including computer simulation, relating to substrate specificity and reaction selectivity;
Biomimetic studies related to enzymatic transformations.
