Anaerobic Biotransformation of Nitro-Compounds to Amines by Bovine Rumen Fluid

Abstract: Microorganims of the bovine rumen fluid biocatalyzed the reduction of nitro-compound substrates to yield the respective amines. This enzymatic process, using ruminal contents, has rarely been reported in associa- tion with the bioreduction of nitro groups. The biotransformation reactions catalyzed by this system were de- pendent of both the electronic characteristics and the area/volume of the nitro-substrates confirming the processes are enzymatic. The semi-preparative scale biotransformation went by in good … Show more

“…Microbes of the bovine rumen fluid catalyzed the reduction of nitro compounds as substrates and yielded the respective amines. This enzymatic process, using ruminal contents, was rarely reported in case of bio-reduction of nitro groups [ 56 ]. Degradation or detoxification pathways include oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, and conjugation.…”

“…Additionally, the result was in concordance with our previous results where the nitro moiety was susceptible to be reduced in this biological conditions. 9 Probably, the slower kinetics of reduction of this N-oxide, indazole N 1 -oxide, and the ability of ruminal fluid to reduce nitro-aromatic systems 9 contribute to the generation of the isolated product 21.…”

“…7,8 Additionally, we have recently described the ability of bovine ruminal fluid, in anaerobic conditions, to transform nitro-substrates into amines. 9 The stereo-electronic structural similarity between the nitro moiety and the heterocyclic N-oxide group (Figure 1) has led us to ask which behavior of the latter would be under the cow rumen biotransformer. The deoxygenation of N-oxide-containing aromatic heterocycles to the corresponding heterocycles is an important step in the preparation of new compounds, for example in the field of medicinal chemistry, toxicology, environmental sciences, and new materials.…”
