Bien que les matériaux poreux soient nombreux dans la nature, la synthèse en laboratoirede matériaux présentant une porosité multi-échelle ou hiérarchisée est toujours délicate. Enutilisant la matière molle (émulsions concentrées, auto-assemblages, mésophases lyotropes, etc)et le procédé sol-gel, il est possible d’obtenir une grande variété de matériaux monolithiques, àporosité hiérarchisée, composés d’un squelette silicique. La porosité de ces matériaux peut êtreoptimisée en jouant avec la nature de l’émulsion, le tensioactif utilisé, ou avec l’ajout d’agentd’extérieur comme le sel. En combinant ces méthodes, des matériaux possédant une mésoporositéhexagonale ont été obtenus. Grâce à leur surface riche en silanols, ces matériaux poreux ont étéfonctionnalisés par greffage post-synthèse de molécules organiques. Dès lors, l’immobilisationd’entités biologiques comme les enzymes au sein de la structure poreuse a permis d’utiliser cesmatériaux pour des réactions d’hydrolyse, de synthèse ou de décoloration en milieu aqueux dansune approche de « chimie verte ». Enfin, des micro-organismes ont été piégés dans ces matériauxporeux qui ont été recouverts d’une coque en silice. Les micro-organismes peuvent s’y développersans restriction et leur croissance est très différente de celle observée dans les cultures classiques.La coque en silice, formée en surface, est donc imperméable au passage des bactéries (taillemicrométrique) mais perméable à la diffusion des substrats et des réactifs. Cette diffusion a étémise à profit pour réaliser des réactions enzymatiques en cascade. Ces matériaux se positionnentcomme des biocatalyseurs très prometteurs pour de nombreuses applications. / Although porous materials are numerous in nature, the laboratory synthesis of materials withmulti-scale or hierarchical porosity is always difficult. By using soft matter (concentrated emulsions,self-assemblies, lyotropic mesophases, etc.) and the sol-gel process, it is possible to obtaina wide variety of monolithic materials with hierarchical porosity composed of a silicic skeleton.The porosity of these materials can be optimized by playing with the nature of the emulsion,the surfactant used, or with the addition of external agents such as salt. By combining these methods,materials with hexagonal mesoporosity have been obtained. Thanks to their silanol-richsurface, these porous materials have been functionalized by post-synthesis grafting of organicmolecules. Therefore, the immobilization of biological entities such as enzymes within the porousstructure has made it possible to use these materials for hydrolysis, synthesis or discolorationreactions in aqueous media in a "green chemistry" approach. Finally, microorganisms were trappedin these porous materials which were covered with a silica shell. Microorganisms can growthere without restriction and their growth is very different from that observed in conventionalcultures. The silica shell formed on the surface is therefore impermeable to the passage of bacteria(micrometric size) but permeable to diffusion of substrates and reagents. This diffusion wasused to carry out cascade enzymatic reactions. These materials are positioned as very promisingbiocatalysts for many applications.

Biocatalysis represents an attractive route to the production of various compounds which are difficult or impossible to synthesise and isolate using traditional chemical synthesis. In particular, the production of chiral molecules is a function ideally suited to biocatalysis, due to the natural stereospecificity of enzymes. The synthesis of such chiral molecules is essential in the production of pharmaceuticals, additives for the food and drinks industry and the creation of specialist polymers. CYP105AS1, isolated from Amycolatopsis orientalis, is a cytochrome P450 enzyme which produces the inactive 6-epi-pravastatin of the blockbuster anti-cholesterol drug pravastatin. Previous directed evolution efforts have engineered this enzyme to produce a five-point mutant, known as P450prava, which partially reversed the stereospecificity of the enzyme to produce a majority pravastatin product mixture. This thesis details work to use structure-led engineering approaches to redesign the active site of P450prava to introduce stringent stereospecificity. A combinatorial approach of manual and computational rational design was pursued, leading to the creation of a novel T95F/V180M double mutant of P450prava. This double mutant was found to have successfully eliminated the unwanted 6-epi-pravastatin enantiomer from the product mix, leaving a pure pravastatin product. P450prava was also shown to bind and hydroxylate other statin substrate molecules, demonstrating its versatility in the production of drug metabolites and other high-value oxyfunctionalised molecules. This property, along with its proven tolerance of significant active site engineering efforts, demonstrates the viability of the P450prava as a platform for the creation of novel biocatalysts for the production of various hydroxylated products from diverse substrate molecules.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O Brasil à o maior produtor mundial de laranja e de suco de laranja, sendo este setor de grande importÃncia para economia brasileira, responsÃvel por gerar mais de 400 mil empregos e movimentar cifras de bilhÃes de reais por ano. Mas, este setor tambÃm à responsÃvel pela produÃÃo de grande quantidade de rejeitos industriais, que equivalem a 50% do peso da fruta, sendo estes resÃduos utilizados na maioria das vezes como raÃÃo animal. Portanto o uso eficiente destes rejeitos se faz necessÃrio em um mundo em que as reservas naturais vÃm se esgotando. Neste sentido a biocatÃlise mostra-se como uma ferramenta promissora no uso destes resÃduos, que possuem enzimas em sua constituiÃÃo, para obtenÃÃo de produtos de alto valor agregado, as substÃncias enantiopuras. A aplicaÃÃo de diferentes metodologias, prÃticas e de baixo custo, possibilitou a sÃntese de alcoÃis quirais com alto excesso enantiomÃrico (ee) e boas taxas de conversÃo. ReaÃÃes de hidrÃlise e reduÃÃo foram processadas em meio aquoso e, as reaÃÃes de esterificaÃÃo foram realizadas em solvente orgÃnico, utilizando as casca da laranja como fonte de biocatalisadores. O uso das cascas da laranja como fonte de biocatalisador apresentou resultados bastante promissores, demonstrando capacidade catalÃtica em vÃrias reaÃÃes (reduÃÃo/oxidaÃÃo, hidrÃlise/esterificaÃÃo) atravÃs de metodologias simples e de baixo custo. ConversÃes de 46,90-96,70% foram alcanÃadas nas reaÃÃes de biorreduÃÃo acompanhado de ee variando de 21,15-99,00%. Nas reaÃÃes de hidrÃlise verificaram-se taxas de conversÃes de 19,20-80,82% e ee variando de 9,60-45,52%. Jà nas reaÃÃes de esterificaÃÃo, ee acima de 99% foram observados e conversÃes maiores que 80% foram alcanÃadas. Portanto, este estudo abre precedentes para uma ampla faixa de aplicaÃÃo desta fonte de biocatalisador (cascas da laranja), que atualmente à considerado como um rejeito industrial, contribuindo sobremaneira para agregar valor a todo um setor produtivo e industrial no qual o Brasil à lÃder, a indÃstria de suco de laranja. / The Brazil is the producing greater of world of orange and orange juice, being this sector of great importance for Brazilian, responsible economy for generating 400 thousand jobs and more than and putting into motion ciphers of billions per year. But, this sector also is responsible for the production of great amount of industrial rejetcs, that are equivalent 50% of the weight of the fruit, being these used residues most of the time as animal ration. Therefore the use efficient of these rejetcs if makes necessary in a world where the natural reserves come if depleting. In this direction biocatalysis is presented as a promising tool in the use of these residues, that contains enzymes in its constitution, for attainment of products of high added value, the substances enantiopure. The application of different methodologies, practical and of low cost, made possible the chiral alcohols synthesis with high enantiomeric excess (ee) and good taxes of conversion. Hydrolysis reactions and reduction had been processed in aqueous way e, the reactions of esterification had been carried through in organic solvent, using the rind of the orange as source of biocatalysis for such reactions. The use of the peel of the orange as biocatalysis source presented resulted sufficiently promising, demonstrating catalytic capacity in some reactions (reduction/oxidation, hydrolysis/esterification) through simple methodologies and of low cost. Conversions of 46,90-96,70% had been reached in the reactions of bioreduction shown of ee varying of 21,15-99,00%. In the hydrolysis reactions taxes of 19,20-80,82% conversions and ee had been verified varying of 9,60-45,52%. Already in the esterification reactions, ee above of 99% had been observed and bigger conversions that 80% had been reached. From there, this study it opens precedents for an ample band of application of this source of biocatalysis (pells of the orange), that currently it is considered as one reject industrial, contributing excessively to add value all a productive and industrial sector in which Brazil is leader, the orange juice industry

Xilitol é um açúcar-álcool com propriedades de interesse para as indústrias alimentícia, odontológica e farmacêutica. É tradicionalmente produzido em processo químico, sendo que a via fermentativa é a forma mais extensivamente estudada, entretanto, ainda possui limitações técnicas. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar condições de obtenção de xilitol por via enzimática utilizando a enzima xilose redutase de Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037. Numa primeira etapa, esta enzima foi produzida e pré-purificada e em seguida foi realizada a seleção do sistema de regeneração enzimática in situ de coenzima NADPH. Foram considerados sistemas hipotéticos com formato desidrogenase, glicose desidrogenase e álcool desidrogenase, sendo determinado o efeito dos possíveis substratos e produtos sobre a xilose redutase pré-purificada. O sistema de regeneração escolhido foi o que utilizou a enzima glicose desidrogenase, sendo o substrato glicose e o produto gluconato. Em seguida, foi realizada a avaliação e seleção de variáveis do processo enzimático segundo planejamento fatorial fracionado 25-1. Foi avaliada a influência da concentração de xilose, de NADPH e de glicose, a carga de xilose redutase e de glicose desidrogenase sendo que a variável resposta foi considerada a produtividade volumétrica em xilitol. As duas variáveis selecionadas para otimização foram a concentração de xilose e de NADPH. Para a otimização do processo de produção de xilitol em meio sintético sob regime de batelada empregou-se um planejamento composto central rotacional (estrela) 22. A partir dos resultados pode-se construir um modelo quadrático que relacionou a produtividade com os fatores na região de estudo. De acordo com este modelo, a melhor condição operacional resulta em alto valor de produtividade e eficiência em xilitol, 1,68 g.l-1.h-1 e 100 %, respectivamente. Visando a viabilidade econômica do processo foram avaliadas membranas de ultra e nanofiltração para retenção das enzimas e coenzimas no sistema reacional. Foi constatado que a membrana de tamanho de poro de 1 kDa permitiu a retenção de 99 % da coenzima. Adicionalmente, foi avaliado o desempenho da enzima obtida a partir de hidrolisado hemicelulósico de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, comparando-se os resultados obtidos com aquela obtida pelo cultivo da levedura em meio baseado em xilose comercial. Foi comprovado que a fonte de carbono não teve efeito sob a produção enzimática de xilitol. Finalmente, foram realizados testes preliminares com a produção enzimática de xilitol em meio de hidrolisado de bagaço de canade- açúcar. Foi observado que a produção de xilitol não se alterou com meio contendo 20 e 40 % v.v-1 de hidrolisado. Em função dos resultados, foi concluído que a produção enzimática de xilitol é tecnicamente viável e que possui grande potencial como bioprocesso para aproveitamento de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar. / Xylitol is a sugar-alcohol with proven interesting properties for food, odontological and pharmaceutical industries. It is traditionally produced in chemical process and the fermentative way, the most extensively studied alternative, nevertheless, still has disadvantages. In this context, the present work has as objective to determinate optimal conditions for xylitol attainment by enzymatic way using xylose redutase from Candida guilliermondii FTI 20037. Firstly, xylose redutase was produced, pre-purified and then the selection of an in situ enzymatic regeneration of coenzyme NADPH was carried out. Hypothetical regeneration systems were considered: formate dehydrogenase, glucose dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, being determined the effect of the possible substrates and products under pre-purified xylose redutase. The glucose dehydrogenase regeneration system, being glucose the substrate and gluconate the product. Afterwards, it was carried out the screening and evaluation of the enzymatic process variables according to a fractioned factorial design 25-1. It was evaluated the influence of xylose, NADPH and glucose concentrations, xylose reductase and glucose dehydrogenase loads using xylitol volumetric productivity as response. Xylose and NADPH concentrations were selected for further optimization. A rotational central composite design (star) 22 was used for optimization of xylitol enzymatic process in synthetic media under batch regime. From the results, a quadratic model could be elaborated which relates the productivity with the factors in the studied region. According to this model, the best operational condition resulted in high productivity and efficiency values, 1,68 g.l-1.h-1 and 100 %, respectively. Aiming economical viability of the process, ultra and nanomembranes were studied for coenzyme and enzymes retention. It was verified that the 1 kDa cut off membrane allowed 99 % retention of the coenzyme. Additionally, it was evaluated the enzyme performance produced from sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate, comparing the results attained with the enzyme produced from synthetic media. It was evidenced that the carbon source did not affected xylitol enzymatic production. Finally, xylitol enzymatic production preliminary assays were carried out using media containing sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate. It was observed that xylitol enzymatic production was not altered when compared to the control, in the experiments media containing 20 and 40 % v.v-1 hydrolysate. Based on the results, it was concluded that xylitol enzymatic production is technically viable and has great potential as a bioprocess for sugarcane bagasse use as raw material.

The first goal of this work focused on the development of an amine dehydrogenase (AmDH) from a leucine dehydrogenase using site-directed mutagenesis. We aimed at reductively aminating a prochiral ketone to a chiral amine by using leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) as a starting template. This initial work was divided into two stages. The first focused mutagenesis to a specific residue (K68) that we know is key to developing the target functionality. Subsequently, mutagenesis focused on residues known to be in close proximity to a key region of the substrate (M65 and K68). This approach allowed for reduced library size while at the same time increased chances of generating alternate substrate specificity. An NAD+-dependent high throughput assay was optimized and will be discussed. The best variants showed specific activity in mU/mg range towards deaminating the target substrate. The second goal of this work was the development of a thermostable glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) starting with the wild-type gene from Bacillus subtilis. GDH is able to carry out the regeneration of both NADH and NADPH cofactors using glucose as a substrate. We applied the structure-guided consensus method to identify 24 mutations that were introduced using overlap extension. 11 of the tested variants had increased thermal stability, and when combined a GDH variant with a half-life ~3.5 days at 65℃ was generated--a ~10⁶increase in stability when compared to the wild-type. The final goal of this work was the characterization of GDH in homogeneous organic-aqueous solvent systems and salt solutions. Engineered GDH variants showed increased stability in all salts and organic solvents tested. Thermal stability had a positive correlation with organic solvent and salt stability. This allowed the demonstration that consensus-based methods can be used towards engineering enzyme stability in uncommon media. This is of significant value since protein deactivation in salts and organic solvents is not well understood, making a priori design of protein stability in these environments difficult.

Em todos os casos a BSA atuou como catalisador, visto que quando as reações foram realizadas sem sua presença, não houve formação dos produtos desejados. Os rendimentos obtidos para as reações aldólica (37%), Henry (80%) e MBH (73%), variaram de bons a moderados e não foi observada enantiosseletividade para nenhuma das reações estudadas. As soroalbuminas são proteínas que formam muita emulsão dificultando os processos downstream na separação dos produtos e materiais de partida. Visando minimizar este inconveniente, a BSA foi submetida à imobilização em MCLEA (magnetic cross-linking enzyme aggregates) utilizando nanopartículas magnéticas de óxido de ferro. Nestes casos, o biocatalisador pôde ser facilmente retirado do meio reacional com aplicação de um campo magnético externo. Esta metodologia afetou diretamente no rendimento da reação de Henry, passando de 80% para 89%. Porém, para as outras reações a melhoria no rendimento não foi tão expressiva. A imobilização também não foi eficaz para o aumento dos excessos enantioméricos. Até o momento para a reação de MBH com os substratos utilizados, não há relatos na literatura para a síntese do aduto desejado catalisado pela BSA. Sendo assim, optamos por realizar um planejamento fatorial completo dessa reação visando otimizar as condições reacionais bem como os rendimentos. As variáveis estudadas foram: temperatura, concentração do biocatalisador e condição do biocatalisador (livre ou imobilizado). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a variável com maior influência na reação, é a concentração do biocatalisador. A conversão obtida passou de 30% para 40% utilizando 2,2 μmol de BSA. Em seguida, realizamos um estudo de ascendência da concentração do catalisador visando otimizar este parâmetro. A conversão obtida passou para 73% quando foram utilizadas 3,7 μmol de biocatalisador imobilizado. Realizamos um estudo de reciclagem do biocatalisador imobilizado. Foi possível reutiliza-lo porém com diminuição da conversão a partir do segundo ciclo. Os resultados obtidos nesta dissertação evidenciam o potencial biocatalítico da BSA em reações para a formação de ligação C-C. / This work aimed to study the catalytic activity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in reactions that form a new C-C bond: aldol reactions, Henry and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH). In all cases BSA served as the catalyst, whereas when the reactions were carried out without their presence there was no formation of the desired products. The yields obtained for aldol reactions (37%), Henry (80%) and MBH (73%), ranged from good to moderate enantioselectivity and was not observed for any of the studied reactions. The serum albumins are proteins that form the much emulsion difficulting downstream processes in separation of the products and starting materials. To minimize this inconvenience, the BSA was subjected to immobilization in M-CLEA (magnetic cross-linking enzyme aggregates) using magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide. In these cases the biocatalyst could be easily removed from the reaction medium by applying an external magnetic field. This methodology directly affect the yield of the Henry reaction, from 80% to 89%. However, for other reactions the improvement of yields was less pronounced. The immobilization was also not effective for improving the enantiomeric excess. So far for the MBH reaction with the worked substrates, there are no reports in the literature for the synthesis of the desired adduct catalyzed by BSA. So we decided to study a full factorial design of this reaction to optimize the reaction conditions and yields. The variables studied were: temperature, the biocatalyst concentration and biocatalyst conditions (free and immobilized). The concentration of biocatalyst was the major factor with interference in all reactions. The conversion increased from 30% to 40% using 2.2 μmol of BSA. Then we perform a study of catalyst concentration to optimize this parameter. The conversion increased to 73% when they were used 3.7 μmol immobilized biocatalyst. To evaluate the retention of catalytic activity of BSA immobilized, it was performed a study of the immobilized biocatalyst recycling. It was possible the reuse but with reduced conversion from the second cycle. The results obtained in this work demonstrated the potential of BSA in C-C bond formation reactions.

Os resultados por irradiação micro-ondas para os compostos obtidos apresentaram menores tempos de reação (1-14 h) comprovando a sua eficiência na resolução quimio-enzimática de compostos organofluorados e ciano-hidrinas: [(R)-álcool 1a (c = 60%, ee = 89%), (S)-acetato 1b (c = 40%, ee = 92%); (R)-álcool 2a (c = 47%, ee = 82%), (S)-acetato 2b (c = 53%, ee = 90%); (R)-álcool 3a (c = 34%), (S)-acetato 3b (c = 17%, ee = 59%); (R)-álcool 5a (c = 4%, ee = 88%), (S)-acetato 5b (c = 50%, ee = 92%); (R)-álcool 6a (c = 44%, ee = 73%), (S)-acetato 6b (c = 56%, ee = 90%); (R)-álcool 7a (c = 50%, ee = 84%), (S)-acetato 7b (c = 50%, ee = 84%); (R)-álcool 8a (c = 41%, ee = 91%), (S)-acetato 8b (c = 59%, ee = 74%); (S)-álcool 9a (c = 95%), (R)-acetato 9b (c = 5%, ee > 99%); (R)-álcool 10a (c = 50%, ee >99%), (S)- acetato 10b (c = 50%, ee >99%); (R)-álcool 11a (c = 58%, ee = 43%), (S)-acetato 11b (c = 42%, ee = 78%); (S)-álcool 12a (c = 51%, ee = 70%), (R)-acetato 12b (c = 49%, ee = 98%); (S)-álcool 13a (c = 85%), (R)-acetato 13b (c = 15%, ee > 99)].

Após 6 h de reação obtiveram-se conversões entre 39-100% e excessos enantioméricos entre 74-96% em agitador orbital e por irradiação micro-ondas obteve-se uma variação de 28-64% de conversão e excesso enantiomérico entre 73-96%. Também foram realizadas reações de biorredução com as bactérias termofílicas SPZSP005, SPZSP088, SPZSP051 e SPZSP055 para cetonas organofluoradas obtendo-se elevadas enantiosseletividades (>99%) e conversões (>99%). Esse estudo relata a primeira investigação da literatura frente ao uso de fungo e bactérias termofílicas por irradiação micro-ondas aplicada em biocatálise. Foram também realizadas reações de adição de aza-Michael entre a benzilamina e cetonas ?,β-insaturadas (ciclo-hexenona, 3-metil-2-ciclo-hexen-1-ona e a 2,5-dimetil-para-benzoquinona) utilizando a CALB em diferentes solventes orgânicos (EtOAc, CH2Cl2, n-hexano, MeOH, tolueno, éter etílico e THF) em agitador orbital e por irradiação micro-ondas. Através das reações de adição de aza-Michael foi obtido por adição-1,2 e adição-1,4 como adutos iminas, os quais foram caracterizadas por espectrometria de massas. Finalmente neste trabalho aplicou a irradiação micro-ondas em biocatálise via resolução cinética, redução de cetonas e adição de Michael. / In this study, enzymatic kinetic resolutions of cyanohydrins [(±)-mandelonitrile 1a, (±)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyacetonitrile 2a, (±)-2-hydroxy-2-(4- hydroxyphenyl)acetonitrile 3a, (±)-2-hydroxybutanenitrile 4a, (±)-2-(4- fluorophenyl)acetonitrile 5a, (±)-2-hydroxy-2-(4-metoxiphenyl)acetonitrile 6a, (±)-2- hydroxy-2-(3-fenoxyphenyl)acetonitrile 7a and (±)-(E)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbut-3- enonitrile 8a], and organofluorine alcohols [(±)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-phenylethanol 9a, (±)-1-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)ethanol 10a, (±)-1-(3-bromophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol 11a, (±)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol 12a and (±)-1-(2- trifluoromethyl)phenylethanol 13a] were performed using immobilized lipase from Candida Antarctica (CALB).

The results obtained by microwave irradiation for the substrates showed shorter reaction times (1 to 14 h) demonstrating its efficiency in chemoenzymatic esterifications of organofluorine compounds and cyanohydrins [(R)-alcohol 1a (c = 60%, ee = 89%), (S)-acetate 1b (c = 40%, ee = 92%); (R)-alcohol 2a (c = 47%, ee = 82%), (S)-acetate 2b (c = 53%, ee = 90%); (R)-alcohol 3a (c = 34%), (S)-acetate 3b (c = 17%, ee = 59%); (R)-alcohol 5a (c = 4%, ee = 88%), (S)-acetate 5b (c = 50%, ee = 92%); (R)-alcohol 6a (c = 44%, ee = 73%), (S)-acetate 6b (c = 56%, ee = 90%); (R)-alcohol 7a (c = 50%, ee = 84%), (S)-acetate 7b (c = 50%, ee = 84%); (R)-alcohol 8a (c = 41%, ee = 91%), (S)-acetate 8b (c = 59%, ee = 74%); (S)-alcohol 9a (c = 95%), (R)-acetate 9b (c = 5%, ee > 99%); (R)- alcohol 10a (c = 50%, ee >99%), (S)-acetate 10b (c = 50%, ee >99%); (R)-alcohol 11a (c = 58%, ee = 43%), (S)-acetate 11b (c = 42%, ee= 78%); (S)-alcohol 12a (c = 51%, ee = 70%), (R)-acetate 12b (c = 49%, ee = 98%); (S)-alcohol 13a (c = 85%), (R)-acetate 13b (c = 15%, ee > 99)]. In particular, this thesis show the use of microbial cells in reduction of fluoroketones by microwave irradiation. Thus, bioreduction reactions of (±)-2,2,2- trifluoroacetophenone 3 was performed in orbital shaking and microwave irradiation by marine fungus Mucor racemosus CBMAI 847 in different concentrations (2.9, 5.7, 8.5 and 14 mmol/L) at pH 8 and in the concentration of 14 mmol/L at pH 5. In the reactions after 6 h were obtained a conversion of 39 to 100% and enantiomeric excess of 74-96%, in orbital shaking. The reaction on microwave irradiation gave an increase conversion of 28-64% and enantiomeric excess of 73-96%. Bioreduction reactions were also performed with the thermophilic bacteria SPZSP005, SPZSP088, SPZSP051 and SPZSP055 for organofluorine ketones obtaining high enantioselectivities (> 99%) and conversions (> 99%). This study describes the first investigation on the literature regarding the use of thermophilic bacteria and fungus by microwave irradiation applied to biocatalysis. Were also carried out reactions of aza-Michael addition of benzylamine and ?, β-unsaturated cyclohexenones (cyclo- hexenone, 3-methyl-2-cyclo-hexen-1-one and 2,5-dimethyl-para-benzoquinone) were investigated, using CALB in different organic solvents (EtOAc, CH2Cl2, n-hexane, MeOH, toluene, ethylic ether and THF) in orbital shaking and microwave irradiation. From aza-Michael addition reactions was possible to obtain by 1,2- and 1,4-adition the adduct imines, which were characterized by mass spectrometry. Finally this thesis applied the microwave irradiation in biocatalysis via kinetic resolution, reduction of ketones and aza-Michael addition.

Os objetivos do presente trabalho foram: i) aprimorar o procedimento alternativo de mediação por íons metálicos da alcoólise da ligação peptidil-resina com vistas à obtenção de ésteres metílicos de peptídeos protegidos (Nα-acil-peptídeo protegido-OMe) em condição reacional branda e com alta eficiência; ii) investigar a aplicabilidade do procedimento para a preparação de Nα-acil-peptídeo protegido-SR e de Nα-acil-aminoácido-OR; iii) verificar se os Nα-acil-peptídeo-OMe obtidos atuariam como doadores de acila em reações de formação de ligação peptídica catalisadas por lipases. Para tanto, na busca da melhor condição de metanólise e comparação com os procedimentos usuais de alcoólise de ligação peptidil-resina, foram usados: o fragmento 22-24 da colecistocinina-33 humana (tripeptídeo modelo), Ca2+, Zn+2, Co+2 e Cu+2 (mediadores), as resinas oxima de Kaiser (KOR), p-hidroximetilfenil acetamidometil, ácido p-hidroximetilbenzóico e álcool p-benziloxibenzil (suportes poliméricos), misturas de MeOH com DCM, DMSO, NMP, THF ou DMF (solventes) e 25, 37, 50 ou 60°C. A condição ótima encontrada [KOR, Ca+2 (1 eq./eq. de peptídeo), 50% MeOH/DMF, 50°C] foi empregada com sucesso na preparação do Nα--acil-heptapeptídeo protegido-OMe, fragmento do peptídeo quimiotático M de Vespa mandarinia. Variações dessa condição foram usadas com sucesso nas preparações dos Nα-acil-tripeptídeo protegido-S(CH2)2COOEt e Nα-acil-Ala-OR (R: Me; Bzl), pois eles foram gerados com boas qualidades e rendimentos similares ou superiores aos obtidos via procedimentos usuais. Após desproteção de cadeias laterais, os Nα-acil-tripeptídeo-OMe e Nα-acil-heptapeptídeo-OMe foram usados em reações de acoplamento com Gly-NH2 em presença de preparações lipásicas comerciais. Estes ensaios inéditos também foram bem sucedidos, pois após adequação das condições reacionais, os Nα-acil-tetrapeptídeo-NH2 e Nα-acil-octapeptídeo-NH2 foram obtidos com boas qualidades e rendimentos de 65% (1 h) e 55% (24 h), respectivamente. / The present work aimed to: i) improve the alternative procedure based on mediation by metal ions of peptide-resin linkage alcoholysis to obtain fully protected peptide methyl esters (Nα-acyl-protected peptide-OMe) under mild reaction condition and with high efficiency; ii) investigate the usefulness of the alternative procedure for preparing Nα-acyl-protected peptide-SR and Nα-acyl-amino acid-OR; iii) verify whether the resulting Nα-acyl-peptide-OMe would act as acyl donors in peptide bond formation catalyzed by lipases. Thus, in the search for the best methanolysis condition and comparison with the usual procedures for that, we used: fragment 22-24 of human cholecystokinin-33 (model tripeptide), Ca+2, Zn+2, Co+2 and Cu+2 (mediators), Kaiser oxime resin (KOR), p-hydroxymethylphenylacetamido methyl resin, p-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid resin and p-benzyloxy benzyl alcohol resin (polymeric supports), mixtures of MeOH and DCM, DMSO, NMP, THF or DMF (solvents) and 25, 37, 50 or 60°C. The optimal condition found [KOR, Ca+2 (1 eq./eq. of peptide), 50% MeOH/DMF, 50°C] was used successfully for preparing Nα-acyl-protected heptapeptide-OMe, fragment 1-7 of the chemotactic peptide M produced by Vespa mandarinia. Variations of this condition were employed successfully for preparing Nα-acyl-protected tripeptide-SR and Nα-acyl-Ala-OR (R: Me, Bzl): indeed, these compounds were obtained in good quality and with similar or superior yields than those provided by usual procedures. After side chain deprotections, the Nα-acyl-tripeptide and Nα-acyl-heptapeptide methyl esters obtained were used in coupling reactions with Gly-NH2 in the presence of commercial lipase preparations. Those pioneer reactions were also successful, since after optimizing the conditions, Nalfa-acyl-tetrapeptide-NH2 and Nα-acyl-octapeptide-NH2 were obtained in good qualities with yields of 65% (1 h) and 55% (24 h), respectively.

Neste trabalho foi avaliado a seletividade de reações biocatalisadas por fungos basidiomicetos frente a compostos bifuncionalizados com os grupos cetona e seleneto (1-2) ou cetona e sulfeto (3-4). Os compostos 1-4 foram sintetizados de acordo com metodologias descritas na literatura. Na síntese dos padrões racêmicos dos β-hidróxi-selenetos 1a-2a e β-hidróxi-sulfetos 3a-4a observou-se que a redução química utilizando NaBH4 levou a formação preferencial dos estereoisômeros cis-(1a-4a). Enquanto que a redução promovida na utilização dos fungos basidiomicetos levou a formação preferencial do estereoisômero trans-(1a-4a). Desta forma duas metodologias complementares para a preparação de β-hidróxi-selenetos e β-hidróxi-sulfetos foram estabelecidas. Cinco linhagens destes fungos (Irpex lacteus CCB 196, Trametes rigida CCB 285, Pycnoporus sanguineus CCB 501, Trametes byssogenum CCB 203, Trametes versicolor CCB 202 ) foram testadas visando à obtenção de β-hidróxi-selenetos (1a-2a) e β-hidróxi-sulfetos (3a-4a) na forma enantiomericamente pura ou enriquecida. Um estudo qualitativo indicou que o fungo Trametes rigida CCB 285 apresentou alta seletividade frente aos compostos utilizados levando aos produtos cis-(1a-4a) e trans-(1a-4a) com elevados valores de excessos enantioméricos (e.e. 99 %). Posteriormente, um estudo quantitativo permitiu o isolamento dos produtos, a determinação dos rendimentos isolados e também a configuração absoluta para os compostos isolados. Na segunda parte deste trabalho avaliou-se a aplicação de fungos Aspegillus terreus em reações de desmetilação/desalquilação de aminas terciárias. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os estes fungos apresentam grande potencial para reações de desmetilação de aminas terciárias aromáticas, sendo que as reações conduzidas em meio neutro (pH = 7) levaram aos produtos desmetilados com bons valores de conversão. No entanto, não foram observadas reações de desalquilação com grupos etila nas condições utilizadas. / In this work was considered the selectivity of reactions biocatalysted by basidiomycetes fungi with bifuncionalized compounds with ketone and selenide groups (1-2) or ketone and thio groups (3-4). The compounds 1-4 were prepared in according with methodologies from literature. During the synthesis of standard racemic β-hydroxyselenides 1a-4a and β-hydroxysulfides 3a-4a we noticed that chemical reduction using NaBH4 led to the preferential formation of the cis-(1a-4a) isomers. On the other hand, the bioreduction promoted by basidiomycetes fungi led to the preferential formation of trans-(1a-4a) isomers. Therefore, two complementary methodologies for preparation of β-hydroxyselenides and β-hydroxysulfides were established. Five strains of basidiomycetes fungi (Irpex lacteus CCB 196, Trametes rigida CCB 285, Pycnoporus sanguineus CCB 501, Trametes byssogenum CCB 203, Trametes versicolor CCB 202) were examined to aim at the preparation of β-hydroxyselenides and β-hydroxysulfides on the enantiomerically pure form. A qualitative study indicated that cells of T. rigida CCB 285 showed high selectivity led to the products cis-(1a-4a) and trans-(1a-4a) in high enantiomeric excess (ca 99 %). After that, a quantitative study allowed us to determine the isolated yields and the absolute configuration for the compounds cis-(1a-4a) and trans-(1a-4a). In the second part of this work was considered the application of Aspergillus terreus fungi in demethylation/dealkylation reactions by tertiary amines. The results indicated that those fungi showed a big potencial for demethylation reaction of aromatic tertiary amines. The reaction done on the pH = 7 led to the demethylated products with good values of conversion. Dealkylation reactions were not observed.
