Shikimic Acid Quinic Acid

  • Biosynthesis of L-amino acids (Phe, Trp, Tyr), folate coenzymes, and

isoprenoid quinones

  • Shikimate pathway is unique to plants, fungi, and microorganisms
  • Potential herbicide, antifungal, and antibacterial agents
  • Increasing effort toward the synthesis of shikimate analogues
  • Quinic acid is an alternate carbon source in the shikimate pathway

  • Although use of enzymes in synthesis is common, the basis of their

selectivity is not well understood

  • Goals:
  • prepare valuable monoacyl derivatives
  • identify the molecular basis of CAL-A selectivity as function of the

degree of intramolecular H-bond within the ligand

Background: Conformational Analysis To explain selectivity of CAL-A, w e study the role of intram olecular H-bonds w ithin ligand

  • IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy are common methods to determine

intra- and intermolecular H-bonding

  • IR not suitable since our molecules posses several OH groups
  • 1H NMR concentration dependent hydroxyl protons exchange is not

adequate (poor solubility)

  • 1H NMR temperature dependent is not possible since

conformational equilibrium is present

  • We study the proton exchange by acid catalysis
  • Rigorous removal of acid from: sample, solvent, and NMR tube

Additional interactions in TI-2:

  • Transition state H-bond plays an

important role in enzyme selectivity

  • Two of the essentials H-bonds in the

active site are: His-Ser and His-OR1

  • In Q and S acid derivatives, positive

charge can be delocalized through another H-bonds network within ligand

General mechanism of lipases:

  • Catalytic triad: Ser-His-Asp
  • TI-2 is the key to enzymatic selectivity

In view of these results, we propose a cooperative effect of H-bond between E-S, which lead to selectivity

Conclusions:

  • Selective acylated derivatives of natural, 3-epi, 4-epi, and 5-epi-

isomers of quinic and shikimic acid have been efficiently synthesized

  • Useful as chiral building-blocks for organic synthesis and as

inhibitors

  • Selectivity of CAL-A is related to both inherent receptor selectivity

and intramolecular H-bond in the ligand

  • 1H NMR is used to determine the strength of intramolecular H-bond
  • Acid exchange of OH and JCH,OH provides structural information in

terms of dihedral angles (H-O-C-H) and direction of H-bond network

  • Satisfactory correlation between reactivity of hydroxyls and

effectiveness of the corresponding H-bond network
