Description

Continuous synthesis device and method for unnatural amino acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of synthesis of unnatural amino acid, in particular to a continuous synthesis device and method of unnatural amino acid.
Background
Unnatural amino acids are widely used in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, food and cosmetic industries. A variety of unnatural amino acids have been used to produce ampicillin and amoxicillin, nateglinide, tadalafil, fluoropentanoate and the like. Unnatural amino acids are also well-suited precursors for nuclear hormone inhibitors, hepatitis c antiviral drugs or cholecystokinin B antagonists and are often used as building blocks for the creation of novel peptides or cyclic peptides.
Unnatural amino acids are usually synthesized chemically, but chemical synthetic routes have many steps, low yields, slow synthesis rates, and difficult product separations. For example, the chiral centers are generally synthesized by conventional methods, such as catalytic asymmetric synthesis, asymmetric hydrogenation or resolution methods, wherein the catalytic methods involve the use of transition metal catalysts; asymmetric hydrogenation requires the use of chiral ligands and hydrogen; the resolution method has the defects of poor economy, no use of half of products, complex operation and the like. Along with the development of enzyme catalysis technology and the excavation of various enzymes, the method for synthesizing unnatural amino acid by enzyme catalysis is mature, and various unnatural amino acids and derivatives thereof can be synthesized by enzyme catalysis technology at present. The enzymatic synthesis of the unnatural amino acid only needs one step, the reaction process is mild, and the yield is high. The preparation of unnatural amino acids usually requires 4-6 steps for protection, by synthesizing keto acids from inexpensive raw materials by chemical synthesis, converting keto acids to single-configuration amino acids by enzymatic catalysis, and chemically attaching functional groups to the amino groups. The current mainstream process is a batch reaction process, but the batch reaction is generally complicated in operation and low in productivity.
Some reports that amino acid (CN 108048317A) can be synthesized by using a continuous reaction process, so that full continuous operations such as Grignard reagent reaction, hydrolysis, extraction and the like are realized to prepare keto acid, and continuous stirring reaction operation is used to realize enzyme catalysis continuous reaction process to prepare amino acid. However, free enzyme cannot be recovered, so that enzyme waste and cost are increased; and the continuous stirring reaction needs stirring, enzyme deactivation is easy to cause, the equipment space utilization rate is low, the capacity lifting space is small, and the energy consumption is high.
