Abstract The enantiomers of (4R/S)-4-hydroxy-N, N-diphenyl-2-pentynamide are key chiral synthons for the synthesis of thrombin receptor antagonists such as vorapaxar. In this paper, we report the enzymatic preparation of enantiomerically enriched (4R)-4-hydroxy-N, N-diphenyl-2-pentynamide using lipase A from Burkholderia cepacia ATCC 25416 as the catalyst. First, the lipase gene (lipA) and its chaperone gene (lipB) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli system. After purification, lipase A activation was performed with the assistance of foldase lipase B. Enzyme assay revealed that the activated lipase A showed the optimal catalytic activity at 60 8C and pH 7. The effects of various metals on the activity were Authors Yanming Chen and Fei Gao have contributed equally to this work. Y.

investigated and results demonstrated that most of the metals inhibited the activity. To further improve the catalytic outcome, two-phase reaction was studied, and n-hexane proved to be a good organic solvent for the combination system. Using the optimize conditions, (4R)-4-hydroxy-N, N-diphenyl-2-pentynamide with 94.5% ee value and 48.93% conversion ratio was achieved. Our investigation on this lipase reveals lipase A as a promising biocatalyst for producing chiral propargyl alcohol for preparation of novel himbacine analogs.

Introduction Vorapaxar (brand name Zontivity, formerly known as SCH 530348) is a thrombin receptor antagonist which was developed by Merck & Co based on the natural product himbacine to reduce the rate of combined endpoint cardiovascular death, stroke, and urgent coronary revascularization (Bailey and Campbell 2011; Chackalamannil 2006; Olivier et al. 2013; Tello-Montoliu et al. 2011). It is the first proteaseactivated receptor (PAR-1) inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2014 (Chelliah et al. 2014). Vorapaxar can potently inhibit
