Aromatic N-oxides (ArN-OX) are desirable biol. active compounds with a potential for application in pharmacy and agriculture industries. As biocatalysis is making a great impact in organic synthesis, there is still a lack of efficient and convenient enzyme-based techniques for the production of aromatic N-oxides. In this study, a recombinant soluble di-iron monooxygenase (SDIMO) PmlABCDEF overexpressed in Escherichia coli was showed to produce various aromatic N-oxides. Out of 98 tested N-heterocycles, seventy were converted to the corresponding N-oxides without any side oxidation products. This whole-cell biocatalyst showed a high activity towards pyridines, pyrazines, and pyrimidines. It was also capable of oxidizing bulky N-heterocycles with two or even three aromatic rings. Being entirely biocatalytic, our approach provides an environmentally friendly and mild method for the production of aromatic N-oxides avoiding the use of strong oxidants, organometallic catalysts, undesirable solvents, or other environment unfriendly reagents. The sequence of the p577A clone containing pmlABCDEF gene cluster was deposited in GenBank under the accession number MK037457.
