Efficient regioselective synthesis of 3′‐O‐crotonylfloxuridine catalysed by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase

Abstract: Pseudomonas cepacia lipase-catalysed preferential acylation of the secondary hydroxy group of FUdR (floxuridine) with vinyl crotonate was carried out in spite of the presence of the primary hydroxy group, and 3'-O-crotonylfloxuridine was prepared successfully for the first time. The isomerization of the double bond of crotonate, which occurs in conventional organic synthesis, could be effectively avoided during the enzymatic acylation. The effects of some key factors such as reaction medium, initial a(w) (wate… Show more

“…The authors evaluated the lipase selectivity toward various acyl donors, and they verified an increase in 3‐regioselectivity with increased acyl chain length. Zhao, Zong, and Li () also studied the regioselective acylation of FUdR with vinyl crotonate as the acyl donor and catalyzed by Lipase PS‐C. A simple and environmentally friendly process allowed to obtain 3′‐O‐crotonylfloxuridine with a high yield under mild reaction conditions.…”

“…However, few reports on the enzymatic synthesis of undecylenic acid esters of polyhydroxylated compounds have appeared (Tokiwa et al 2007a, b;Raku et al 2003). More importantly, mild enzymatic acylation would effectively avoid the isomerization of the double bond (Diaz-Rodriguez et al 2005;Zhao et al 2009), which is crucial to the biological activities of the unsaturated fatty acid. Herein, we reported the first enzymatic synthesis of undecylenic acid esters of purine nucleosides, potential dual prodrugs.…”

“…To date, enzymatic acylation of nucleosides in organic media has emerged as a promising procedure, owing to its advantageous properties, including high regioselectivity, mild reaction conditions and environmental friendliness [911]. Ferrero and Gotor [12,13] have reviewed the use of biocatalysts for the modification of nucleosides.…”
