• Compartmentalization
• Cascades
• Hybrid enzymes

Ursodeoxycholic Acid
1. Secondary Bile Acid produced by intestinal bacteria
2. Used for treatment of cholestatic liver diseases, solubilizes cholesterol gallstones.
3. Current method multi-step chemical synthesis
4. Chemo-enzymatic synthesis promising alternative

Synthesis UDCA from cholic acid and analogues
T. Eggert, D. Bakonyi, W. Hummel, J. Biotechnol. 191 92014) 11-21.
CDCA and LCA possible alternatives as starting material (back-ups)
9
Chemical synthesis UDCA
(According to Hofmann 1963). Current chemical synthesis yield around 30%
10
Possible route for Chemo-enzymatic synthesis.

• Two-pot reaction in membrane reactors, followed by WK-reduction, in resp. 90 and 88% yld.
• HSDHs from Clostridium
• Enzymatic NADP(H) regeneration by ketoglutarate and glucose
11
Cascades and flow..
a marriage of convenience
• Cascade reactions
– Linear, orthogonal, coupled (cofactor regeneration) or cyclic
• Flow reactions can assist in compatibility issues
– Compartmentalization
– Immobilization
• S. Schoffelen, J.C.M. van Hest, Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol., 23, 613 (2013)
• V. Hessel et al., ChemSusChem, 6, 746-789 (2013)
12
Enzyme catalysis in flow, benefits
• Expanded process windows
• Higher substrate loadings
• Lower product inhibition
• Shorter reaction times
• Increased enzyme lifetime
• Integrated product recovery
• Adjust reaction times for individual steps in time in order to respond to variation in enzyme activity.

Work package description- 4yrs PD in Delft. Start apr 2017
WP1: Synthesis of UDCA
Production, and testing of enzymes in separate steps.
Choice for best enzyme preparations (stability in solvents etc.)
NAD(P) oxidative regeneration step
Stabilisation/immobilisation of enzyme
WP2: Shifting equilibrium in one-step epimerization step: One-pot two enzyme reaction. Choice of green spatial solvents
WP4: Integrated cascade in flow reactor.
Choice for concept in flow cascade
Coupling with Wolff-Kirschner-reduction (green alternatives ?)
In addition, explore fully enzymatic synthesis. This involves dehydroxylation at the 12-position; bioinformatics needed to find the corresponding enzymes
14
Fully enzymatic synthesis ?
Dehydroxylation at C-12 has been observed in the whole cells preps with Bacteroides (Ebenharder 1982), but never reported afterwards.
