Abstract:The methyl ester of 2-benzoxazolon-3-yl-acetic acid was used as an acyl donor in the penicillin amidase-catalysed transfer reaction to 7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid. The synthesis of 7-(2-benzoxazolon-3-yl-acetamido)-desacetoxycephalosporanic acid was carried out as a kinetically controlled reaction. A characteristic feature of this system is that the benzoxazolone derivatives are very low specific substrates for penicillin amidase (the kcat/Km values for their hydrolysis were shown to be 10(5)-fold lower compared to the corresponding values for phenylacetyl derivatives). Nevertheless, penicillin amidase proved to be an effective catalyst for the synthesis of these new cephem derivatives (50% yield for 6 h). The reason is the observed unusually high value for the transferase-hydrolase activity ratio. The determined value for (k3'/k3)app = 120,000 implies that in this case of low specific acyl moiety, penicillin amidase acts more like a transferase than a hydrolase. The maximum yield has been increased up to 70% by lowering the reaction temperature and stepwise feeding of the reaction medium with the acyl component. The results obtained extend the potential of the penicillin amidase as a catalyst for the synthesis of a new group of biologically active cephem derivatives.
