    Abstract:
    (S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxypiperidine (S-NBHP) is a critical chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, including ibrutinib, the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the new drug Imbruvica approved for the treatment of lymphoma. An (R)-specific carbonyl reductase from Candida parapsilosis (CprCR, also known as R-specific alcohol dehydrogenase) that catalyzes asymmetric reduction to produce (S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxypiperidine (S-NBHP) was identified for the first time. When co-expressed with a glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3), recombinant crude enzyme exhibited an activity of 9 U/mg with N-Boc-3-piperidone as the substrate and 12 U/mg with glucose as the substrate. The biocatalysis of N-Boc-3-piperidone to S-NBHP using recombinant whole-cell biocatalysts was processed in a water/butyl acetate system as well as an aqueous monophasic system without extra NAD+/NADH. This process showed great commercial potential, with a 100 g/l substrate concentration and a whole cells loading (w/v) of 10%, with the conversion of 97.8% and an e.e. of 99.8% in an aqueous monophasic system.
