PolyCYPs®+ scale-up options

PolyCYP enzyme reactions are fully scalable from mg to gram quantities through a number of routes. We are also able to scale reactions derived from the aldehyde oxidase (AOX1) and flavo-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) contained in the PolyCYPs+ kit.

SUMMARY OF SCALE-UP OPTIONS

  • Provision of multiple quantities of any PolyCYP+ kit enzyme lyophilised in vials in a kit format for use in your own labs. 
  • For large quantities of any PolyCYPs enzyme products, we offer reactions undertaken at Hypha using cell paste from the recombinant E.coli clone containing the CYP of interest, or via fermentation with a Streptomycete clone. Contact us to find out more about this option at enquiries@hyphadiscovery.co.uk.

Multiple 10ml scale-up vials, suitable for converting 1mg of parent per vial, can be ordered off-the-shelf for any isoform for in-house scale-up.  Co-factors are included. Each 10ml scale-up vial kit is supplied with a 24-well block suitable for performing 4 x 2.5 ml reactions. Other incubation formats can also be used, as recommended in the instructions.

N.B. Scale-up vials of lyophilised AOX1 are available, however we observe superior conversions using permeabilised whole cell reactions and thus it is recommended to scale-up AOX1 reactions at Hypha.

Hypha also offer a service option should you prefer us to undertake scale-up reactions from vials, or to process and purify metabolites / derivatives from reaction extracts. We also have expertise in structure elucidation of products using NMR spectroscopy.

Case Studies

  • In this client case study, milligram amounts of specific oxidised products of two compounds were produced using two different PolyCYPs enzymes. Both screening and scale-up reactions were conducted by Hypha for the client and the extract provided to the client for purification. Click here to view the client case study.
  • A US pharma client wished to quickly access milligram quantities of a hydroxylated drug metabolite. Using PolyCYPs, Hypha were able to synthesize and purify the metabolite for the client within 3 weeks, together with a Certificate of Analysis. Read about this project here.
