RESUMO
Optically pure (R)-ß-butyrolactone as an important chiral building block in the syntheses of various biologically active compounds and biodegradable polymers was prepared from (R,S)-ß-butyrolactone through kinetic resolution. Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) with a high enantiomeric ratio of 198 enantioselectively catalyzed the ring opening of the racemate with methanol in methyl tert-butyl ether at 45 °C and yielded the remaining (R)-ß-butyrolactone. A detailed kinetic analysis indicated that methanol and (R)- and (S)-methyl ester all acted as competitive inhibitors for the enzyme. Comparisons of the theoretical and experimental conversions for both enantiomers were further made and elucidated. The thermodynamic analysis implied the enantiomer discrimination for the transition states of both enantiomers to be entropy-driven in the temperature range investigated. Moreover, preliminary results from the lipase reusability, feed-batch operation, and remaining substrate recovery were addressed.

In the Candida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed hydrolysis of (R,S)-azolides derived from (R,S)-N-protected proline in water-saturated methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), high enzyme activity with excellent enantioselectivity (V (S) V (R) (-1) > 100) for (R,S)-N-Cbz-proline 1,2,4-triazolide (1) and (R,S)-N-Cbz-proline 4-bromopyrazolide (2) was exploited in comparison with their corresponding methyl ester analog (3). Changing of the substrate structure, water content, solvent, and temperature was found to have profound influences on the lipase performance. On the basis of enzyme activity and enantioselectivity and solvent boiling point, the best reaction condition of using 1 as the substrate in water-saturated MTBE at 45 °C was selected and further employed for the successful resolution of (R,S)-N-Cbz-pipecolic 1,2,4-triazolide (5) and (R,S)-N-Boc-nipecotic 1,2,4-triazolide (9). Moreover, more than 89.1 % recovery of remained (R)-1 is obtainable in five cycles of enzyme reusage, when pH 7 phosphate buffers were employed as the extract at 4 °C.

The best reaction condition of Candida antartica lipase B as biocatalyst, 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole as leaving azole, and water-saturated methyl t-butyl ether as reaction medium at 45°C were first selected for performing the hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-2-(4-chlorophenoxyl) azolides (1-4). In comparison with the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-2-phenylpropionyl 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolide or (R,S)-α-methoxyphenylacetyl 3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolide at the same reaction condition, excellent enantioselectivity with more than two order-of-magnitudes higher activity for each enantiomer was obtained. The resolution was then extended to other (R,S)-3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolides (5-7) containing 2-chloro, 3-chloro, or 2,4-dichloro substituent, giving good (E > 48) to excellent (E > 100) enantioselectivity. The thermodynamic analysis for 1, 2, and 4-7 demonstrates profound effects of the acyl or leaving moiety on varying enthalpic and entropic contributions to the difference of Gibbs free energies. A thorough kinetic analysis further indicates that on the basis of 6, the excellent enantiomeric ratio for 4 and 7 is due to the higher reactivity of (S)-4 and lower reactivity of (R)-7, respectively.

A new approach to the lipase-catalyzed hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-azolyl carbamates for obtaining chiral azolyl carbamates and alcohol is described. With (R,S)-1-phenylethyl azolyl carbamates as the model substrates, the best reaction condition of using (R,S)-1-phenylethyl 4-bromopyrazole carbamate (1) as the substrate in water-saturated diisopropyl ether at 45 °C is selected. The kinetic constants, and hence enantiomeric ratio of 124, are then estimated from the kinetic analysis by considering the alcohol inhibition effect, with which theoretical time-course conversions for both enantiomers are numerically solved and agree with the experimental data. The thermodynamic parameters -ΔΔH and -ΔΔS satisfying a linear enthalpy-entropy compensation relationship of -ΔΔS = -38.84 + 3.29(-ΔΔH) are further estimated. An extension of the resolution platform to (R,S)-4-bromopyrazole carbamates derived from other (R,S)-alcohols (4, 5, 7) is also addressed.

Esterases, lipases, and serine proteases have been applied as versatile biocatalysts for preparing a variety of chiral compounds in industry via the kinetic resolution of their racemates. In order to meet this requirement, three approaches of enzyme engineering, medium engineering, and substrate engineering are exploited to improve the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity. With the hydrolysis of (R,S)-mandelates in biphasic media consisting of isooctane and pH 6 buffer at 55 degrees C as the model system, the strategy of combined substrate engineering and covalent immobilization leads to an increase of enzyme activity and enantioselectivity from V(S)/(E(t)) = 1.62 mmol/h g and V(S)/V(R) = 43.6 of (R,S)-ethyl mandelate (1) for a Klebsiella oxytoca esterase (named as SNSM-87 from the producer) to 16.7 mmol/h g and 867 of (R,S)-2-methoxyethyl mandelate (4) for the enzyme immobilized on Eupergit C 250L. The analysis is then extended to other (R,S)-2-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters, giving improvements of the enzyme performance from V(S)/(E(t)) = 1.56 mmol/h g and V(S)/V(R) = 41.9 of (R,S)-ethyl 3-chloromandelate (9) for the free esterase to 39.4 mmol/h g and 401 of (R,S)-2-methoxyethyl 3-chloromandelate (16) for the immobilized enzyme, V(S)/(E(t)) = 5.46 mmol/h g and V(S)/V(R) = 8.27 of (R,S)-ethyl 4-chloromandelate (10) for free SNSM-87 to 33.5 mmol/h g and 123 of (R,S)-methyl 4-chloromandelate (14) for the immobilized enzyme, as well as V(S)/(E(t)) = 3.0 mmol/h g and V(S)/V(R) = 7.94 of (R,S)-ethyl 3-phenyllactate (11) for the free esterase to 40.7 mmol/h g and 158 of (R,S)-2-methoxyethyl 3-phenyllactate (18) for the immobilized enzyme. The great enantioselectivty enhancement is rationalized from the alteration of ionization constants of imidazolium moiety of catalytic histidine for both enantiomers and conformation distortion of active site after the covalent immobilization, as well as the selection of leaving alcohol moiety via substrate engineering approach.

RESUMO
Optically pure 3-substituted glutarates can be prepared from the alcoholic ring-opening of cyclic anhydride derivatives, esterification of 3-substituted glutaric acid, and hydrolysis, alcoholysis, aminolysis, and ammonolysis of the diester derivatives via hydrolases or organocatalysts. Unfortunately, most of them mainly focus on the first-step desymmetrization, leading to the difficulty on producing optically pure enantiomers. As a general trend in lipase-catalyzed desymmetrization of 3-methylglutarates, poorer enantiomeric excesses with lower chemical yields were found, as the methyl substituent is relatively small to induce a high enzyme stereodiscrimination. The two-step desymmetrization for CALB-catalyzed alcoholysis of 3-methylglutaric di-1,2,4-triazolide 1a in anhydrous MTBE is first developed to increase the enzyme activity in each reaction step. The enantioselectivity for the second-step kinetic resolution is furthermore improved by using 3-methylglutaric dipyrazolide 1b as the substrate. The kinetic and thermodynamic analysis is, moreover, addressed for shedding insights into the desymmetrization process.

In comparison with the biocatalyst engineering and medium engineering approaches, very few examples have been reported on using the substrate engineering approach such as substrate-assisted catalysis (SAC) for naturally occurring or engineered lipases and serine proteases to improve the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity. By employing lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of (R,S)-naproxen esters in water-saturated isooctane as the model system, we demonstrate the proton shuttle device to the leaving alcohol of the substrate as a new means of SAC to effectively improve the lipase activity or enantioselectivity. The result cannot only provide a strong evidence for the rate-limiting proton transfer for the bond-breaking of tetrahedron intermediate of the acylation step, but also sheds light for performing the hydrolysis, transesterification or aminolysis in organic solvents for the ester substrate that originally lipases cannot catalyze, but now can after introducing the device.

Dissolving microneedles (MNs) display high efficiency in delivering poorly permeable drugs and vaccines. Here, two-layer dissolving polymeric MN patches composed of gelatin and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were fabricated with a two-step casting and centrifuging process to localize the insulin in the needle and achieve efficient transdermal delivery of insulin. In vitro skin insertion capability was determined by staining with tissue-marking dye after insertion, and the real-time penetration depth was monitored using optical coherence tomography. Confocal microscopy images revealed that the rhodamine 6G and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled insulin (insulin-FITC) can gradually diffuse from the puncture sites to deeper tissue. Ex vivo drug-release profiles showed that 50% of the insulin was released and penetrated across the skin after 1 h, and the cumulative permeation reached 80% after 5 h. In vivo and pharmacodynamic studies were then conducted to estimate the feasibility of the administration of insulin-loaded dissolving MN patches on diabetic mice for glucose regulation. The total area above the glucose level versus time curve as an index of hypoglycemic effect was 128.4 ± 28.3 (% h) at 0.25 IU/kg. The relative pharmacologic availability and relative bioavailability (RBA) of insulin from MN patches were 95.6 and 85.7%, respectively. This study verified that the use of gelatin/CMC MN patches for insulin delivery achieved a satisfactory RBA compared to traditional hypodermic injection and presented a promising device to deliver poorly permeable protein drugs for diabetic therapy. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In recent years, the Carica papaya lipase (CPL) is attracting more and more interest. This hydrolase, being tightly bonded to the water-insoluble fraction of crude papain, is thus considered as a "naturally immobilized" biocatalyst. To date, several CPL applications have already been described: (i) fats and oils modification, derived from the sn-3 selectivity of CPL as well as from its preference for short-chain fatty acids; (ii) esterification and inter-esterification reactions in organic media, accepting a wide range of acids and alcohols as substrates; (iii) more recently, the asymmetric resolution of different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), 2-(chlorophenoxy)propionic acids, and non-natural amino acids. Taking into account the novelty and the current interest of the topic, this review aims to highlight the origin, features, and applications of the C. papaya lipase, with the objective to prompt research groups to further investigate the spectra of applications that this emerging and versatile CPL could have in the future.

The enzymatic properties of Plumeria rubra latex have been evaluated for the first time, showing a high activity in both hydrolysis and synthesis reactions, and compared to the biocatalytic behavior of babaco (Vasconcellea x Heilbornii cv.) latex. Both biocatalysts have been optimized by studying the various parameters that influence reaction kinetics. The optimum temperatures for hydrolysis reactions were 50 and 55 degrees C for babaco and Plumeria, respectively. The optimum pH for babaco latex was 7, whereas for Plumeria latex, two optimal pH values (4 and 7) were observed. With regard to esterification and acyl transfer reactions such as alcoholysis and interesterification, the influence of thermodynamic water activity on reaction yields was determined and correlated with water sorption and desorption isotherms. When babaco latex is used as a biocatalyst, optimal synthesis reaction yields are obtained when the enzymatic extract is stabilized at a water activity value of 0.38, which corresponds to a water content of 5.7%. This optimal level of hydration is located on the linear portion of the biocatalyst's sorption isotherm, where the water molecules exhibit high-energy interactions with the protein network. In synthesis reactions (esterification, alcoholysis, and interesterification) biocatalyzed by Plumeria latex, correlation between best reaction yields and water activity cannot be done. Indeed, the sorption isotherm plot has an atypical shape, indicating that water might be trapped in the latex matrix and, consequently, that the water content of the biocatalyst is highly dependent on the hydration history of the latex.

Polypropylene powders as the adsorbent for organic solution containing n-hexadecane and olive oil were employed as the carbon source for producing an alkaline lipase from Acinetobacter radioresistens. The best volumetric ratio of n-hexadecane to olive oil around 5 for lipase production was determined from shake-flask and fermentation cultivations. The existence of a maximum time course lipase activity of the aqueous phase was attributed to the compensation effects of olive oil on cell growth and lipase production, repression of lipase synthesis by oleic acid, and lipase adsorption on the supports. A linear relationship between the average cell growth rate in the exponential phase and the ratio of surface areas of the supports was found. The benefits of using the present fermentation process include less foaming and emulsion of the broth, less organic phase used, higher lipase production, and easy recovery of the lipase in the centrifugation step.

Dynamic synergistic effects in cellulosic bioconversion have been revealed between Trichoderma reesei cellulases and ß-glucosidases (BGLs) from six Taiwanese fungi. A high level of synergy (8.9-fold) was observed with the addition of Chaetomella raphigera BGL to T. reesei cellulases. In addition, the C. raphigera BGL possessed the highest activity (V(max)/K(m)=46.6 U/mg mM) and lowest glucose inhibition (Ki=4.6mM) with the substrate 4-nitrophenyl ß-d-glucopyranoside. For the natural cellobiose substrate, however, the previously isolated Aspergillus niger BGL Novo-188 had the highest V(max)/K(m) (0.72 U/mg mM) and lowest Ki (59.5mM). The demonstrated dynamic synergistic effects between some BGLs and the T. reesei cellulase system suggest that BGLs not only prevent the inhibition by cellobiose, but also enhance activities of endo- and exo-cellulases in cellulosic bioconversion. Comparisons of kinetic parameters and synergism analyses between BGLs and T. reesei cellulases can be used for further optimization of the cellulosic bioconversion process.

The highest cellulases production from Daldinia caldariorum 263 (D-263) was found among Daldinia eschscholzii and Daldinia childiae. Three cellulases, one xylanase and one ß-glucosidase of the molecular weights 55, 43, 34, 30, and 105 kDa, respectively, were determined by zymographic sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. From the N-terminal sequencing, the major cellulase CelA belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 5 was determined. By following an orthogonal experiment design (L9), factors affecting the cultivation of D. caldariorum 263 are ranked as medium composition > temperature > pH ≥ FP (%). The optimum cultivation conditions for obtaining the best FPase (600 mU/ml) at 72 h are 150 rpm, 35 °C, pH 7, 0.2% soy peptone and 0.5% α-cellulose in minimal requirement medium. In comparison with Trichoderma reesei (ATCC26921) secreting 1,135 mU/ml of FPase after 6 days cultivation at pH 5, D. caldariorum 263 grew faster at 35 °C and produced the maximum FPase within 3 days at pH 7.
RESUMO
A thermally stable esterase (SNSM-87) from Klebsiella oxytoca is explored as an enantioselective biocatalyst for the hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-2-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters in biphasic media, where the best methyl esters possessing the highest enantioselectivity and reactivity are selected and elucidated in terms of the structure-enantioselectivity correlations and substrate partitioning in the aqueous phase. With (R,S)-2-chloromandelates as the model substrates, an expanded Michaelis-Menten mechanism for the rate-limiting acylation step is adopted for the kinetic analysis. The Brønsted slope of 25.7 for the fast-reacting (S)-2-chloromandelates containing a difficult leaving alcohol moiety, as well as that of 4.13 for the slow-reacting (R)-2-chloromandelates in the whole range of leaving alcohol moieties, indicates that the breakdown of tetrahedral intermediates to acyl-enzyme intermediates is rate-limiting. However, the rate-limiting step shifts to the formation of tetrahedral intermediates for the (S)-2-chloromandelates containing an easy leaving alcohol moiety, and leads to an optimal enantioselectivity for the methyl ester substrate.

With the hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl esters via a partially purified papaya lipase (PCPL) in water-saturated isooctane as the model system, the enzyme activity, and enantioselectivty is altered by adding a variety of organo-soluble bases that act as either enzyme activators (i.e., TEA, MP, TOA, DPA, PY, and DMA) or enzyme inhibitors (i.e., PDP, DMAP, and PP). Triethylamine (TEA) is selected as the best enzyme activator as 2.24-fold increase of the initial rate for the (S)-ester is obtained when adding 120 mM of the base. By using an expanded Michaelis-Menten mechanism for the acylation step, the kinetic analysis indicates that the proton transfer for the breakdown of tetrahedral intermediates to acyl-enzyme intermediates is the rate-limiting step, or more sensitive than that for the formation of tetrahedral intermediates when the enzyme activators of different pKa are added. However, no correlation for the proton transfers in the acylation step is found when adding the bases acting as enzyme deactivators.

With the hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioesters in water-saturated isooctane as a model system, improvements of the specific lipase activity and thermal stability were found when a crude Carica papaya lipase (CPL) was partially purified and employed as the biocatalyst. The partially purified Carica papaya lipase (PCPL) was furthermore explored as an effective enantioselective biocatalyst for the hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-profen thioesters in water-saturated organic solvents. The kinetic analysis in water-saturated isooctane indicated that both acyl donor and acyl acceptor have profound influences on the lipase activity, E-value, and enantioselectivity. Inversion of the enantioselectivity from (S)- to (R)-thioester was found for (R,S)-fenoprofen and (R,S)-ketoprofen thioesters that contained a bulky substituent at the meta-position of 2-phenyl moiety of the acyl part. Kinetic constants for the acylation step were furthermore estimated for elucidating the kinetic data and postulating an active site model. The thermodynamic analysis indicated that the enantiomer discrimination was driven by the difference of activation enthalpy (DeltaDeltaH) and that of activation entropy (DeltaDeltaS), yet the latter was dominated for most of the reacting systems. The postulated active site model was supported from the variation of DeltaDeltaH and DeltaDeltaS with the acyl moiety, in which a good linear enthalpy-entropy compensation relationship was also illustrated. A comparison of the performances between Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and PCPL indicated that PCPL was superior to CRL in terms of the better thermal stability, similar or better lipase activity for the fast-reacting substrate, time-course-stability, and lower enzyme cost.

For the first time, the Carica papaya lipase (CPL) stored in crude papain is explored as a potential enantioselective biocatalyst for obtaining chiral acids from their racemic thioesters. Hydrolytic resolution of (R,S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester in water-saturated organic solvents is employed as a model system for studying the effects of temperature and solvents on lipase activity and enantioselectivity. An optimal temperature of 60 degrees C, based on the initial rate of (S)-thioester and a high enantiomeric ratio (i.e., E-value defined as the ratio of initial rates for both substrates) of >100 at 45 degrees C in isooctane, is obtained. Kinetic analysis, considering product inhibition and enzyme deactivation, is also performed, showing agreement between the experimental and best-fit conversions for (S)-thioester. A comparison of the kinetic and thermodynamic behaviors of CPL and Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) in isooctane and cyclohexane indicates that both lipases are very similar in terms of thermodynamic parameters DeltaDeltaH and DeltaDeltaS, initial rate of (S)-substrate, and E-value when (R,S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester or ester is employed as substrate.

Lipases immobilized on polypropylene powders have been used as the biocatalyst in the enantioselective hydrolysis of (S)-naproxen from racemic naproxen thioesters in isooctane, in which trioctylamine was added to perform in situ racemization of the remaining (R)-thioester substrate. A detailed study of the kinetics for hydrolysis and racemization indicates that increasing the trioctylamine concentration can activate and stabilize the lipase as well as enhance the racemization and non-stereoselective hydrolysis of the thioester. Effects of the aqueous pH value and trioctylamine concentration on (S)-naproxen dissociation and partitioning in the aqueous phase as well as the transportation in a hollow fiber membrane were further investigated. Good agreements between the experimental data and theoretical results were obtained when the dynamic kinetic resolution process was integrated with a hollow fiber membrane to reactively extract the desired (S)-naproxen out of the reaction medium.

The racemization of (S)-profen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioesters in isooctane with trioctylamine as base was carried out, in which the Hammett equation log(k(int)) = 3.584sigma - 3.745 was successfully applied to describe the electron-withdrawing effect of the substituents to the alpha-phenyl moiety of the thioesters. A combination of neutral strong organic bases with different nonpolar solvents was employed to determine the second-order interconversion constants for the racemization of (S)-naproxen 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl thioester, in which solvent hydrophobicity was found to have less effect on the racemization. Implication for ion-pair kinetic basicity scale for the neutral strong bases in isooctane was further discussed.
