Enhanced Resolution of a Secondary Alcohol by Hydrolysis of a Bichiral Ester Catalyzed by Lipase from Candida cylindracea

The effect of a chiral centre in the acyl group on the resolution of esters prepared from a racemic alcohol was investigated. R-2-chloropropionic acid afforded a higher enantiomeric ratio than S-2-chioropropionic acid in the hydrolysis of the corresponding esters of racemic 1-phenylethanol catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase. Even when a mixture of esters prepared from racemic acid and racemic alcohol was used for resolution of the alcohol, a noteworthy high enantioselectivity was observed. The hydrolysis of a bichiral ester offers an amplification in the resolution of enantiomers of alcohols by the combination of a chemical diastereoselectivity and an enzymatic enantio- and diastereoselectivity.     

Alcohol Induced Reversal of Enantioselectivity in a Lipase Catalyzed Resolution of 2-Chloropropionic Acid

Alcohol induced reversal of enantioselectivity in the esterification of 2-chloropropionic acid using lipase from Candida cylindracea has been investigated. It was found that an alcohol having substituents both at the α- and the β-carbon preferentially esterified the S-acid, while a straight chain alcohol preferentially esterified the R-acid. Intermediate enantioselectivities were obtained with alcohols having substituents either at the α- or the β-carbon, but still in favor of the R-acid. An acyl binding domain composed of three subsites is proposed for this lipase; one for the hydrocarbon chain, a second for a methyl substituent and a third for an electronegative substituent.     

Hydrolysis and Esterification with Lipase from Candida Cylindracea. Influence of the Reaction Conditions and Acid Moiety on the Enantiomeric Excess

The enantiomeric ratio for hydrolysis and synthesis of 1-phenyl ethanol esters of straight chain aliphatic carboxylic acids catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase was determined. A distinct maximum in enantiomeric ratio was observed for valeric and caproic acid in the hydrolytic direction. No significant maximum could be determined in the esterification reaction. Even though the enzyme provided larger enantiomeric ratios in the synthetic direction the enantiomeric excess of the alcohol was not higher. The enantiomeric excess was depressed by racemization reactions in the esterification as the reaction approached thermodynamic equilibrium at an insufficient conversion. While choosing the optimal chain length of the acyl donor is important in hydrolytic reactions it seems to be of greater value to raise the equilibrium conversion in the esterification reactions.     

Studies of the Heterogeneity of a Candida cylindracea (rugosa) Lipase: Monitoring of Esterolytic Activity and Enantioselectivity by Chiral Liquid Chromatography

A method for the determination of lipase activity in terms of rate and enantioselectivity of hydrolysis of a chiral ester substrate has been developed. When this method was applied to fractions, isolated from preparative, column chromatographic separations (anion-exchange, molecular sieve) of the lipase, significant differences in enantioselectivity (E) was found between the fractions. The highest enantioselectivity was found in the first main peak obtained on DEAE-Sepharose chromatography, meaning that the enzyme with the highest isoelectric point shows the highest esterolytic enantioselectivity.

The experimental results are discussed in the light of some earlier reported results and with respect to the possible existence of subunit aggregates and isoenzymes.

Lipase kinetics: hydrolysis of triacetin by lipase from Candida cylindracea in a hollow-fiber membrane reactor

The aptitude of a hollow-fiber membrane reactor to determine lipase kinetics was investigated using the hydrolysis of triacetin catalyzed by lipase from Canadida cylindracea as a model system. The binding of the lipase to the membrane appears not to be very specific (surface adsorption), and probably its conformation is hardly altered by immobilization, resulting in an activity comparable to that of the enzyme in its native form. The reaction kinetics defined on the membrane surface area were found to obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The specific activity of the lipase in the membrane reactor was found to be significantly higher than in an emulsion reactor. The activity and stability of the enzyme immobilized on a hydrophilic membrane surface seem not to be influenced significantly by the choice of the membrane material. The hollow-fiber membrane reactor is a suitable tool to assess lipase kinetics in a fast and convenient way.     

Transesterification with Candida Cylindracea Lipase in a Biphasic Aqueous-Organic System. Dependence of the Enantiomeric Ratio and the Reaction Rate on the Proportions of Water and Cyclohexane

18 September 1989

A transesterification reaction between 1-phenyl ethyl butyrate and 1-heptanol was carried out with Candida cylindracea lipase. The reaction was studied, with respect to the reaction rate and the enantiomeric ratio at different proportions of water and cyclohexane. A significantly lower reaction rate was observed for incubations with less than 0.5% water compared with those at a higher water content. Transesterification dominated over hydrolysis as the main reaction even at 70% water and a dramatic increase of the enantioselectivity was observed at this high water content. It is proposed that these effects depend on the mechanism of lipase catalysis at the interface of emulsion droplets. This interface binding gives 1-heptanol a positional preference compared with water for nucleophilic attack of the acyl enzyme and may, in addition, induce an optimal conformation for high enantioselectivity of the enzyme.

The Influence of Fatty Acid and Glycerol on the Kinetics of Fat Hydrolysis by Candida Rugosa Lipase in a Membrane Reactor

The kinetics of lipid-hydrolysis by Candida rugosa lipase was investigated in a membrane reactor and in an emulsion system. Two models were chosen to describe the kinetics of the enzyme:

(1) The hydrolysis of triglycerides to fatty acids was considered to be a chain reaction with the intermediary products di- and mono-glyceride; each step was assumed to be a reversible second-order reaction. The reaction rate constants were determined from batch experiments. The experimental results could be described with this model.

(2) For process optimization and control, a model based on the power law was developed. For this model, the rate of hydrolysis was measured as a function of fatty acid and glycerol concentrations. Relations for the initial rate and equilibrium ester fraction as a function of the glycerol concentration were determined. Further, the reaction rate could be described with the power-law model with a power of 1.75 in the hydrolyzable ester fraction for a wide range of glycerol concentrations. The model with power 1.75 gave much better results when compared to a similar first order model. Although simpler, the first order model can not be used. The power law model was applied in the simulation of a reactor composed of three modules. The fatty acid production rate was calculated for this reactor system as a function of the outgoing glycerol concentration at different conditions.

Improving the Enantioselectivity of the Candida Cylindracea Lipase Via Chemical Modification

The lipase of Candida cylindracea (B-form) was treated with the classical chemoselective reagents with a view to modifying the specific amino acid residue(s) in the protein. Nitration of the tyrosyl residues of this enzyme was achieved using an excess of tetranitromethane (TNM). This chemically modified TNM-lipase showed a remarkable improvement in enantioselectivity towards the hydrolysis of a series of aryloxypropionic and arylpropionic esters.     

Production of lipase by high cell density fed-batch culture of Candida cylindracea

Candida cylindracea NRRL Y-17506 was grown to produce extracellular lipase from oleic acid as a carbon source. Through flask cultures, it was found that the optimum initial oleic acid concentration for cell growth was 20 g l⁻¹. However, high initial concentrations of oleic acid up to 50 g l⁻¹ were not inhibitory. The highest extracellular lipase activity obtained in flask culture was 3.0 U ml⁻¹ after 48 h with 5 g l⁻¹ of initial oleic acid concentration. Fed-batch cultures (intermittent and stepwise feeding) were carried out to improve cell concentration and lipase activity. For the intermittent feeding fed-batch culture, the final cell concentration was 52 g l⁻¹ and the extracellular lipase activity was 6.3 U ml⁻¹ at 138.5 h. Stepwise feeding fed-batch cultures were carried out to simulate an exponential feeding and to investigate the effects of specific growth rate (0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 h⁻¹) on cell growth and lipase production. The highest final cell concentration obtained was 90 g l⁻¹ when the set point of specific growth rate (μ_set) was 0.02 h⁻¹. High specific growth rate (0.04 and 0.08 h⁻¹) decreased extracellular lipase production in the later part of fed-batch cultures due to build-up of the oleic acid oversupplied. The highest extracellular lipase activity was 23.7 U ml⁻¹ when μ_set was 0.02 h⁻¹, while the highest lipase productivity was 0.31 U ml⁻¹ h⁻¹ at μ_set of 0.08 h⁻¹.     

Kinetic Resolution of Profens by Enantioselective Esterification Catalyzed by Candida antarctica and Candida rugosa Lipases

Profens (2‐arylpropionic acids) are known as one of the major nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used in the treatment of inflammation associated with tissue injury. The inflammatory activity of profens is mainly due to their (S)‐enantiomer, whereas they are commercially available not only as pure enantiomers, but as racemates as well. There are several methods widely used in order to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds, however, the kinetic resolution with the application of lipases as biocatalysts may have an added advantage in the production of optically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients, such as milder reaction conditions, reduced energy requirements, and production costs. The aim of this study was to compare the results described in the literature in the case of the influence of reaction medium, alcohol moiety, and reaction temperature on the catalytic activity of lipases from Candida antarctica and Candida rugosa.

Lipase activity in vesicular systems: characterization of candida cylindracea lipase and its activity in polymerizable dialkylammonium surfactant vesicles

Lipase from Candida cylindracea (CCL) was incorporated into polymerizable positively charged dialkylammonium bromide surfactant vesicles. The enzyme was incorporated by the use of the dehydration-rehydration method or by incubation. In the latter case, trapping efficiencies of up to 100% could be obtained. Activities of free and vesicle-incorporated CCL were tested for three triglycerides: triacetin, tributyrin, and tricaprylin. Enzyme activity was lowest in homogeneous mixtures (triacetin and small concentrations of tributyrin) and highest in heterogeneous mixtures (tricaprylin and high concentrations of tributyrin). Entrapment in vesicular systems is advantageous, especially in homogeneous reaction mixtures and in the case of the production of insoluble fatty acid (caproate), because inhibition by the acid can be suppressed. The influence of several surface-active additives, including vesicles, on the activity of lipase in triglyceride assays was tested. Vesicles have a positive influence on the activity, whereas other positively charged additives act as inhibitors. In the case of tricaprylin assays, the positively charged additives increase the activity. Finally, tryptic digestion for free and incorporated CCL were compared. Free CCL is readily inactivated, whereas incorporated enzyme is protected from proteolytic degradation. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
