摘要:

肉桂醛是一种重要的天然产物,广泛应用于医药、食品及饲料添加剂领域,然而传统化学合成方法存在高能耗和环境污染等问题,限制了其工业化应用。酶催化作为一种绿色合成途径,具有专一性高、环境友好的优点,对于探索酶催化合成肉桂醛具有重要意义。利用4-OT构建pET-20b-4-OT表达载体,在大肠杆菌中表达并纯化4-草酰巴豆酸互变异构酶(4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase,4-OT),验证以苯甲醛和乙醛为底物合成肉桂醛的能力,并在不同pH、温度、酶浓度、盐浓度及底物浓度下研究其合成性能,通过高效液相色谱检测肉桂醛产量并分析优化条件对肉桂醛生成的影响。结果表明,4-OT在最适pH 7.3,最适温度37 ℃,酶浓度为15 mg·mL-1时肉桂醛产量较初始条件提高181%,125 mmol·L-1 K2HPO4-KH2PO4能显著提升酶活性;底物苯甲醛和乙醛的最优浓度分别为0.5和500 mmol·L-1。扩大反应体系至400 mL后,肉桂醛产量最终提升719倍,转化率提高143倍。研究优化了4-OT催化合成肉桂醛的条件,显著提升了其催化效率和产量,为4-OT在肉桂醛绿色合成中的工业应用提供了有力支持。

Abstract:

Cinnamaldehyde is an important natural compound widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and feed additive industries. However, traditional chemical synthesis methods involve high energy consumption and environmental pollution, limiting their industrial application. Enzymatic catalysis, as a green synthesis pathway, offers high specificity and environmental advantages, making the exploration of enzymatic cinnamaldehyde synthesis highly significant. Using 4-OT to construct the pET-20b-4-OT expression vector, the 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) was expressed and purified in Escherichia coli to verify its ability to catalyze cinnamaldehyde synthesis from benzaldehyde and acetaldehyde as substrates, and its performance under different pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, salt concentration, and substrate concentration conditions was evaluated. The high-performance liquid chromatography was used to measure cinnamaldehyde yield, and the effects of optimized conditions on enzyme activity and product formation were analyzed. The optimal pH and temperature for 4-OT were determined to be pH 7.3 and 37 ℃, respectively. At an enzyme concentration of 15 mg·mL-1, cinnamaldehyde yield increased by 181% compared to the initial conditions. The K2HPO4-KH2PO4 buffer system and a salt concentration of 125 mmol·L-1 significantly enhanced enzyme activity. Optimal substrate concentrations were determined to be 0.5 mmol·L-1 for benzaldehyde and 500 mmol·L-1 for acetaldehyde. Expanding the reaction system to 400 mL increased the cinnamaldehyde yield by 719-fold and the conversion rate by 143-fold. This study optimized the conditions for 4-OT-catalyzed cinnamaldehyde synthesis, significantly improving catalytic efficiency and yield, thus providing strong support for the industrial application of 4-OT in green cinnamaldehyde synthesis.
