Popis: | A potent bacterial strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has been isolated from the soil which produces extracellular lipase that can carry out the excellent stereospecific hydrolysis of trans-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidic acid methyl ester [(±)-MPGM)] to give [(−)-MPGM], an intermediate required in the synthesis of cardiovascular drug, diltiazem. As a preliminary experiment for enzymatic resolution, we characterized the fractionated enzyme. The enzyme had a pH and temperature optima of 8.0 and 60 °C, respectively. The enzyme showed high degree of thermostability. Also, the enzyme was found to be stable in alkaline condition and in organic solvents. The activity of the enzyme increased by the addition of magnesium ions. The small-scale hydrolysis of (±)-MPGM (250 mg) with partially purified enzyme (21,000 U) gave (−)-MPGM with good isolated yield (44%) and excellent enantiomeric excess (99.9%) in a very short time (12 h). |
