Synthesis of coenzymically active soluble and insoluble macromolecularized NAD+ derivatives.
Alkylation at N-1 of the NAD+ adenine ring with 3,4-epoxybutanoic acid, followed by chemical reduction to the alkali-stable NADH form and alkaline Dimroth rearrangement, gave the NADH derivative alkylated at the exocyclic adenine amino group. Enzymic reoxidation of the latter derivative gave nicotinamide-6-(2-hydroxy-3-carboxypropylamino)purine dinucleotide, a functionalized NAD+ analogue carrying an omega-carboxyalkyl side-chain at the exocyclic adenine amino group. Carbodiimide coupling of the latter derivative to high-molecular-weight water-soluble (polyethyleneimine, polylysine) and insoluble (aminohexyl-Sepharose) polymers gave the corresponding macromolecularized NAD+ analogues. These derivatives have been shown to be enzymically reducible. The polyethyleneimine and polylysine analogues showed a substantial degree of efficiency relative to free NAD+ with rabbit muscle lactate dehydrogenase (60 and 25% respectively) but a lower one with yeast alcohol dehydrogenase and Bacillus subtilis alanine dehydrogenase (2-7%). The polyethyleneimine derivative entrapped in cellulose triacetate fibres together with the lactate dehydrogenase was operationally stable during repetitive use.[1]References
