In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Regioselective C-H hydroxylation of omeprazole sulfide by Bacillus megaterium CYP102A1 to produce a human metabolite, published in 2017-01-31, which mentions a compound: 73590-85-9, Name is 5-Methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]benzimidazole, Molecular C17H19N3O2S, Name: 5-Methoxy-2-[[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridyl)methyl]thio]benzimidazole.
Objectives: To find a simple enzymic strategy for the efficient synthesis of the expensive 5′-hydroxyomeprazole sulfide, a recently identified minor human metabolite, from omeprazole sulfide, which is an inexpensive substrate. Results: The practical synthetic strategy for the 5′-OH omeprazole sulfide was accomplished with a set of highly active CYP102A1 mutants, which were obtained by blue colony screening from CYP102A1 libraries with a high conversion yield. The mutant and even the wild-type enzyme of CYP102A1 catalyzed the high regioselective (98 %) C-H hydroxylation of omeprazole sulfide to 5′-OH omeprazole sulfide with a high conversion yield (85-90 %). Conclusions: A highly efficient synthesis of 5′-OH omeprazole sulfide was developed using CYP102A1 from Bacillus megaterium as a biocatalyst.
