AB  - Biocatalytic oxidations mediated by laccases are gaining importance due to their versatility and beneficial environmental effects. In this study, the oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines has been performed using three different types of bacterial laccase-based catalysts: purified laccase from Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 9945a (BliLacc), Escherichia coli whole cells expressing this laccase, and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) supported BliLacc catalysts. The catalysts based on bacterial laccase were compared to the commercially available Trametes versicolor laccase (TvLacc). The oxidation product of 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate was obtained within 7–24 h with good yields (70–99%) with all three biocatalysts. The substrate scope was examined with five additional 1,4-dihydropyridines, one of which was oxidized in high yield. Whole-cell biocatalyst was stable when stored for up to 1-month at 4 °C. In addition, evidence has been provided that multicopper oxidase CueO from the E. coli expression host contributed to the oxidation efficiency of the whole-cell biocatalyst. The immobilized whole-cell biocatalyst showed satisfactory activity and retained 37% of its original activity after three biotransformation cycles.

AB  - Chemical and biocatalytic synthesis of seven previously undescribed marchantin A ester derivatives has been presented. Chemical synthesis afforded three peresterified bisbibenzyl products (TE1-TE3), while enzymatic method, using lipase, produced regioselective monoester derivatives (ME1-ME4). The antiproliferative activities of all prepared derivatives of marchantin A were tested on MRC-5 healthy human lung fibroblast, A549 human lung cancer, and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. All tested esters were less cytotoxic in comparison to marchantin A, but they also exhibited lower cytotoxicity against healthy cells. Monoesters displayed higher cytotoxic activities than the corresponding peresterified products, presumably due to the presence of free catechol group. Monohexanoyl ester ME3 displayed the same IC50 like marchantin A against MDA-MB-231 cells, but the selectivity was higher. In this way, regioselective enzymatic monoesterification enhanced selectivity of marchantin A. ME3 was also the most active among all derivatives against lung cancer cells A549 with the slightly lower activity and selectivity in comparison to marchantin A.

AB  - The Trametes versicolor laccase catalyzed oxidation of chalcone butein afforded four dimers of aurone sulfuretin (i.e. two regioisomeric pairs of diasteromers, 1-4) as the major products. The formation of the dimers was explained by a two step process involving the initial cyclization of butein into aurone sulfuretin, followed by the combination of two molecules of sulfuretin. The coupling process occurred between the 2,10-double bond of one molecule of sulfuretin and the (3′,4′) catechol group of the other to yield a dimeric structure. This was confirmed by the experiment involving the laccase catalyzed oxidation of sulfuretin yielding the same dimeric bisaurones. Compounds 1, 3 and 4, were isolated using semipreparative HPLC and characterized by the detailed analysis of the NMR, MS, IR, and UV-vis data. The structure of compound 2, isolated as a mixture containing ca. 25% of compound 1, was proposed by the comparison of 1H NMR data to compound 1 and by using LC-ESIMS analysis. The starting chalcone butein and the products of the biocatalytic transformation, aurone sulfuretin and sulfuretin dimers 1, 3 and 4, were evaluated for their cytotoxic and antioxidative properties in vitro using a healthy human fibroblast (MRC5) cell line. The biotransformation products showed lower cytotoxicity but higher antioxidative properties. The C. coggygria bark methanol extract rich in butein and sulfuretin was also biotransformed by laccase. The transformed extract exhibited significantly improved antioxidative activities.

AB  - The consumption of dyes is increasing worldwide in line with the increase of population
and demand for clothes and other colored products. However, the e ciency of dyeing processes
is still poor and results in large amounts of colored e uents. It is desired to develop a portfolio
of enzymes which can be used for the treatment of colored wastewaters. Herein, we used genome
sequence information to discover a dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-01. Two genes putatively encoding for DyPs were identified in the respective genome and cloned for expression in Escherichia coli, of which one (PfDyP B2) could be overexpressed as a soluble protein. PfDyP B2 shows some typical features known for DyPs which includes the ability to convert dyes at the expense of hydrogen peroxide. Interestingly, t-butyl hydroperoxide could be used as an alternative substrate to hydrogen peroxide. Immobilization of PfDyP B2 in calcium-alginate beads resulted in a significant increase in stability: PfDyP B2 retains 80% of its initial activity after 2 h incubation at 50 °C, while the soluble enzyme is inactivated within minutes. PfDyP B2 was also tested with aniline and ethyl diazoacetate as substrates. Based on GC-MS analyses, 30% conversion of the starting material was achieved after 65 h at 30 °C. Importantly, this is the first report of a DyP-catalyzed insertion of a carbene into an N-H bond.

AB  - Laccases are a versatile class of enzymes with applications ranging from waste valorization to organic synthesis. We have tested whole-cell systems containing bacterial laccase as catalysts in the oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines. E. coli was used as the expression host for the cotA gene from Bacillus licheniformis, and the resulting whole-cell catalyst facilitated the oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines. It was found that multicopper oxidase CueO from the E. coli expression host also possesses catalytic activity in the oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines. The whole-cell biocatalyst expressing Bacillus licheniformis laccase was subsequently immobilized on bacterial nanocellulose and utilized in the same transformation, retaining 37 % of its original activity after three consecutive catalytic runs. This is the first report of a whole-cell catalytic system containing recombinant laccase for the oxidation of 1,4-dihydropyridines.
AB  - Lakaze predstavljalju raznoliku klasu enzima koja nalazi primenu od valorizacije otpada do organske sinteze. U ovom istraživanju ispitivane su cele ćelije koje sadrže bakterijsku lakazu kao katalizator u oksidaciji 1,4-dihidropiridina. Ekspresija cotA gena iz Bacillus licheniformis je izvršena u ćelijama E. coli i za nastali biokatalizator je ustanovljeno da ubrzava oksidaciju 1,4-dihidropiridina. Pored toga, ustanovljeno je da „multicopper“ oksidaza CueO iz E. coli takođe poseduje aktivnost prema oksidaciji 1,4-dihidropiridina. Ekspresioni sistem koji sadrži lakazu iz bakterije Bacillus licheniformis zatim je imobilizovan na bakterijskoj nanocelulozi i upotrebljen je kao katalizator u istoj transformaciji. Takav katalizator je bilo moguće ponovo upotrebiti tri puta, nakon čega je njegova aktivnost iznosila 37 % od početne. Navedeno istraživanje predstavlja prvu primenu celih ćelija sa rekombinantnom lakazom u oksidaciji 1,4-dihidropiridina.
