Implication

Review highlights enzymatic biotransformations for producing labelled compounds and metabolites, demonstrating superior selectivity compared to classical organic synthesis.

Key Points

To examine the application and utility of microbial biocatalysts, notably cytochrome P450 and nitrile-hydrolysing enzymes, in preparing precursors for labelled compound synthesis.
Evaluated microbial cytochrome P450-mediated reactions, focusing on selective N-, S-, and O-dealkylation and carbon centre hydroxylation.
Assessed whole-cell systems for continuous cofactor regeneration and the application of nitrile-hydrolysing enzymes under mild reaction conditions.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes facilitate chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective dealkylations to generate reactive precursors for realkylation with labelled reagents.
Whole-cell systems successfully overcome cofactor regeneration demands during drug metabolite hydroxylation, and nitrile-hydrolysing enzymes achieve selective hydrolysis without harsh reagents.
