A simple route to enantiomerically pure (S)-2-aminobutyramide – the chiral component of the anti-epileptic drugs Levetiracetam and Brivaracetam has been developed. This approach is based on the rational design and application of a Viedma ripening process. The practical potential of the process is demonstrated on a large scale.

The ready accessibility of (R)-α-aminoadipic acid by enzymatic cleavage of cephalosporin C (CephC) in the production of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) on a large scale makes it a favorable chiral pool building block for the synthesis of unusual amino acids. A route for the synthesis of C-5-alkenyl and C-6-alkylidene derivatives of (R)-pipecolic acid is described which utilizes (R)-α-aminoadipic acid as the enantiomerically pure starting material. Moreover, the synthesis of azido and triazolyl derivatives of (R)-α-aminoadipic acid is reported.

<p>Oligosaccharides have important therapeutic applications. A useful route for oligosaccharides synthesis, especially rare disaccharides, is reverse hydrolysis by <i>β</i>-glucosidase. However, the low conversion efficiency of disaccharides from monosaccharides limits its large-scale production because the equilibrium is biased in the direction of hydrolysis. Based on the analysis of the docking results, we hypothesized that the hydropathy index of key amino acid residues in the catalytic site is closely related with disaccharide synthesis and more hydrophilic residues located in the catalytic site would enhance reverse hydrolysis activity. In this study, positive variants<i> Tr</i>Cel1b<sup>I177S</sup>, <i>Tr</i>Cel1b<sup>I177S/I174S</sup>, and <i>Tr</i>Cel1b<sup>I177S/I174S/W173H</sup>, and one negative variant <i>Tr</i>Cel1b<sup>N240I</sup> were designed according to the <u>H</u>ydropathy <u>I</u>ndex <u>F</u>or <u>E</u>nzyme <u>A</u>ctivity (HIFEA) strategy. The reverse hydrolysis with <i>Tr</i>Cel1b<sup>I177S/I174S/W173H </sup>was accelerated and then the maximum total production (<a>195.8 mg/ml/mg enzyme</a>) of the synthesized disaccharides was increased 3.5-fold compared to that of wildtype. On the contrary, <a><i>Tr</i>Cel1b</a><sup>N240I</sup> lost reverse hydrolysis activity. The results demonstrate that<a> </a><a>the average hydropathy index</a> of <a>the key amino acid residues </a>in the catalytic site of<i> Tr</i>Cel1b is an important factor for the synthesis of laminaribiose, sophorose, and cellobiose. The HIFEA strategy provides a new perspective for the rational design of <i>β</i>-glucosidases used for the synthesis of oligosaccharides.</p>
