The study improved Cyclohexylamine oxidase through engineering and mutagenesis, resulting in an evolved variant with higher catalytic efficiency and stereoselectivity. In large-scale experiments, the enzyme demonstrated potential in the green synthesis of dextromethorphan with high optical purity.
Cyclohexylamine oxidase CHAO(CCH12-C2) was previously discovered and utilized in the chemo-enzymatic synthesis of (S)-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinoline ((S)-1 a), the key precursor for the industrial production of antitussive dextromethorphan. Herein, structure-guided semi-rational engineering and random mutagenesis were applied to CHAO(CCH12-C2), resulting in an evolved variant WXF-FM which possessed five point mutations: H68Q/E198G/L200V/I201L/V209S and displayed >15-fold higher k(cat) and improved stereoselectivity towards (R)-1 a relative to the WT enzyme. WXF-FM-catalyzed deracemization of 200 mM of rac-1 a was achieved at gram-scale under Turner's deracemization conditions, affording (S)-1 a in 76 % isolated yield with 97 % ee, demonstrating the effectiveness and great potential of this enzyme in the practical, green synthesis of dextromethorphan. Two bulky analogues of (S)-1 a were also afforded with much higher optical purities in WXF-FM-catalyzed reactions than those obtained in WT enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Through conducting complete deconvoluting experiments, presence of strong cooperative effect was revealed, and the mutational effect of H68Q on (R)-1 a was suggested to be possibly applicable to related cyclohexylamine oxidases. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations indicated the enlargement of binding and entrance cavities, and the formation of a new hydrogen-bonding between FAD and (R)-1 a both likely contributed to the enhanced catalytic activity.
