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.

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.     

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.     

Water activity as a key parameter of synthesis reactions: The example of lipase in biphasic (liquid/solid) media

Ester synthesis catalyzed by Candida cylindracea lipase (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) was investigated in solid/liquid biphasic media containing the enzyme preparation and reactants without addition of organic solvents not participating in the reaction. Although the effects of water on enzyme kinetics have been abundantly studied in nearly anhydrous media, reactions in which water is produced have not been investigated. The effect of water produced by the reaction itself on the enzymatic activity was studied. The dispersion of water in a shaken, nearly anhydrous medium was shown to be responsible for the lack of activity of the enzyme. In contrast, when slowly shaken, the enzyme was fully activated by the water furnished as a product of the reaction. However, when experiments were performed in a two-phase aqueous/organic system with previously solubilized enzyme in water, the enzyme activity was increased by shaking and was of the same order of magnitude as in nearly anhydrous media. Under low water activity conditions, a powerful agitation can lead to slower reaction rate, because water, a product of esterification, is not retained in the microenvironment of the enzyme to activate it. The activation effect of water produced by the reaction was clearly shown using enzyme preparations shaken in an anhydrous medium and previously equilibrated at low water activities (a_w = 0.13 and 0.69). This activation did not occur for an enzyme preparation equilibrated at high a_w (0.89) or for a preparation gently shaken in a water-saturated medium. The lag time preceding activation of the enzyme increased with the extent of enzyme dehydration. The mass of the enzyme preparation was shown to be a parameter affecting the capacity of the lipase to produce enough water in its immediate environment. The lack of activity observed for a small quantity of enzyme was eliminated by addition of heat-denaturated lipase.     

Esterification of 2-methylalkanoic acids Catalysed by Lipase from Candida rugosa: Enantioselectivity as a Function of water Activity and Alcohol Chain Length

Esterifications catalysed by immobilised lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) in cyclohexane at constant water activity (a_w = 0.76) were studied using 2-methyl substituted octa-, nona- or decanoic acids and n-alcohols of varying chain length as substrates. The importance of controlling the water activity and choosing the right alcohol for obtaining maximum enantioselectivity is demonstrated. The immobilised lipase was easily recovered without loss of activity and enantioselectivity.

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.

Effects of the Reaction Conditions on the Enantio-Selective Esterification Using Candiada Cylindracea Lipase

Parameters influencing the synthetic activity and enantioselectivlty of the Candida cylindracea lipase were investigated. The test reaction was presented through the enantioselective esterification of 2—substituted propionic acids in organic solvents. It was found that both the activity and the enantioselectivity of the lipase could be most effectively influenced by solvent engineering. Since the solvent has a different effect on activity and enantioselectivity of the lipase, selection of the most suitable solvent or solvent mixture is an important optimization question.

Effects of Alcohol and Buffer Treatments on the Activity and Enantioselectivity of Candida rugosa Lipase

Abstract

Several treatments were employed on Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) to improve its biocatalytic performance. Besides conventional alcohol treatment conditions, the effects of pH of the buffer solution used in the treatment as well as the changes in stirring, dialysis, and centrifugation steps of the treatment procedure were investigated for the first time for the resolution of racemic naproxen methyl ester. The highest enantioselectivity and conversion in S-naproxen production were achieved by CRL treated with pH 7.5 buffer solution. The elimination of the centrifugation step resulted in an increase in the enantioselectivity, whereas alcohol treatment of CRL was found to be inconvenient for S-naproxen production. Higher activity for p-nitrophenyl acetate was achieved when 20% butanol and pH 4 buffer solution were used, and when dialysis and stirring times were shortened.
