Deracemization in a Complex Quaternary System with a Second-Order Asymmetric Transformation by Using Phase Diagram Studies

A productive deracemization process based on a quaternary phase diagram study of a naphthamide derivative is reported. New racemic compounds of an atropisomeric naphthamide derivative have been discovered, and a quaternary phase diagram has been constructed that indicated that four solids are stable in a methanol/H₂O solution. Based on the results of a heterogeneous equilibria study showing the stable domain of the conglomerate, a second-order asymmetric transformation was achieved with up to 97 % ee. Furthermore, this methodology showcases the chiral separation of a stable racemic compound forming system and does not suffer from any of the typical limitations of deracemization, although application is still limited to conglomerate-forming systems. We anticipate that this present study will serve as a fundamental model for the design of sophisticated chiral separation processes.     

Synthesis of Cephalexin in Aqueous Medium with Carrier-bound and Carrier-free Penicillin Acylase Biocatalysts

The use of very high substrate concentrations favors the kinetically controlled synthesis of cephalexin with penicillin acylase (PA) not only by Michaelian considerations, but also because water activity is depressed, so reducing the rates of the competing reactions of product and acyl donor hydrolysis. Commercial PGA-450, glyoxyl agarose immobilized (PAIGA) and carrier-free cross-linked enzyme aggregates of penicillin acylase (PACLEA) were tested in aqueous media at concentrations close to the solubility of nucleophile and at previously determined enzyme to nucleophile and acid donor to nucleophile ratios. The best temperature and pH were determined for each biocatalyst based on an objective function considering conversion yield, productivity, and enzyme stability as evaluation parameters. Stability was higher with PAIGA and specific productivity higher with PACLEA, but best results based on such objective function were obtained with PGA-450. Yields were stoichiometric and productivities higher than those previously reported in organic medium, which implies significant savings in terms of costs and environmental protection. At the optimum conditions for the selected biocatalyst, operational stability was determined in sequential batch reactor operation. The experimental information gathered is being used for a technical and economic evaluation of an industrial process for enzymatic production of cephalexin in aqueous medium.     

Simultaneous Determination of Procaine Penicillin G and Benzathine Penicillin G by Second Derivative Spectrophotometry

Abstract

A new method for determining the binary mixtures of procaine penicillin G and benzathine penicillin G using “zero-crossing” second derivative spectrophotometry is described. Calibration graphs were linear up to 8.80 10^?5 M for procaine penicillin G and 4.40 10^?5 M for benzathine penicillin G. The method was realized in ethanol/water medium (30 % v/v). A complete and exhaustive statistical analysis of the experimental data was realized to demonstrate the validity of method. The method was applied for determining procaine penicillin G and benzathine penicillin G synthetic mixtures with good results. The procedure does not require any separation step.     

Determination of Procaine Penicillin G and Penicillin G by Second Derivative Spectrophotometry in Pharmaceutical Products

Abstract

“Zero-crossing” derivative spectrophotometry has been used for determining binary mixtures of penicillin G and procaine penicillin G.

The procedure is rapid, simple, nondestructive, and does not require resolutions of equations.

Calibration graphs are linear between 2.0 and 50.0 μg mL^?1 of the penicillin G at 226.0 nm, and between 2.0 and 100.0 μg mL^?1 of procaine penicillin G at 319.0 nm, in the presence of each other. A complete and exhausive statistical analysis of the experimental data was realized to demonstrate the validity of method. The method was successfully applied to assay commercial injections of these drugs.

Immobilization-stabilization of Penicillin G acylase fromEscherichia coli

We have developed a strategy for immobilization-stabilization of penicillin G acylase from E. coli, PGA, by multipoint covalent attachment to agarose (aldehyde) gels. We hve studied the role of three main variables that control the intensity of these enzyme-support multiinteraction processes: 1. surface density of aldehyde groups in the activated support; 2. temperature; and 3. contact-time between the immobilized enzyme and the activated support prior to borohydride reduction of the derivatives. Different combinations of these three variables have been tested to prepare a number of PGA-agarose derivatives. All these derivatives preserve 100% of catalytic activity corresponding to the soluble enzyme that has been immobilized but they show very different stability. The less stable derivative has exactly the same thermal stability of soluble penicillin G acylase and the most stable one is approximately 1,400 fold more stable. A similar increase in the stability of the enzyme against the deleterious effect of organic solvents was also observed. On the other hand, the agarose aldehyde gels present a very great capacity to immobilize enzymes through multipoint covalent attachment. In this way, we have been able to prepare very active and very stable PGA derivatives containing up to 200 International Units of catalytic activity per mL. of derivative with 100% yields in the overall immobilization procedure.

Penicillin G acylase as chiral selector in CE using a pullulan-coated capillary

In the present study, penicillin G acylase (PGA), an enzyme belonging to the family of hydrolases, has been investigated as chiral selector in CE using the partial filling technique. Owing to the strong disposition of PGA to be adsorbed by the inner capillary wall, permanently coated capillaries were used to diminish both the protein-wall interactions and the EOF. In particular, the silica surface of the capillary was chemically coated by an antiadhesive and an hydrophilic layer of pullulan, a high-molecular-mass homopolysaccharide. The coating procedure consisted in the silanization with glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane and the subsequent coupling of the hydroxyl groups of pullulan onto the silanized capillary. Using this approach, a significant EOF suppression was obtained within a wide pH range (pH 3.0-9.0); this result was very important in order to find the suitable conditions for the application of partial filling technique. The optimization of partial filling was carried out by considering the effects of different experimental conditions (buffer pH, PGA concentration, and loading duration), on the migration time and enantioresolution of rac-ketoprofen. Under the selected conditions as: 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 5.5) containing 240 microM of PGA (partial filling of 120 s at a pressure of 50 mbar), a series of acidic compounds resulted to be enantioresolved in about 10 min. The long-term stability of the proposed coating was evaluated; more than 100 injections were performed without significant loss of reproducibility.     

酶法合成头孢克罗

Enzymatic synthesis of cefaclor from 7-aminodesacetoxymethyl-3-chlorocephalosporainc acid(6-ACCA) and phenylglycine derivatives using penicillin G acylase was studied .Many factors that affect the conversion of 7-ACCA to cefaclor were examined.The immobilized enzyme from Bacillis megaterium gave a better catalytic properties and the higher conversion was obtained using phenylglycine methyl ester(PGME) as acyl donor.And the external mass transfer limitation could be eliminated when the stirring rate was more than 150r/min.Low temperature was beneficial for the synthesis and the results showed that the synthetase activity was hardly influenced by temperature while the amidase activity was affected greatly by temperature.The optimum reaction conditions were determined at pH 6.5 and 10℃,respectively.The best 7-ACCA conversion of 56% was achieved when the intial concentration of 7-ACCA and PGME was at 50 mM and 150mM,respectively.

Immobilization of Penicillin G Acylase on Calcined Layered Double Hydroxides

A hydrotalcite-like Mg2 /Al3 layered double hydroxide (LDH) material was prepared by means of amodified coprecipitation method involving a rapid mixing step followed by a separate aging process. LDH calcined at 500℃ , denoted as CLDH, was characterized by XRD, IR and BET surface area measurements.CLDH has a poor crystalline MgO-like structure with a high surface area and porosity. CLDH was used as asupport for the immobilization of penicillin G acylase(PGA). The effect of varying the immobilization conditions, such as pH, contact time and the ratio of enzyme to support, on the activity of the immobilized enzymein the hydrolysis of penicillin G has been studied. It was found that the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreased slightly with decreasing pH and reached a maximum after a contact time of 24 h. The activity of theimmobilized enzyme increased with increasing the ratio of enzyme to support. It was found that the adsorption of PGA inhibited the expected reaction of CLDH with an aqueous medium to regenerate a LDH phase. Itsoriginal activity(36%) after 15 cycles of reuse of the immobilized enzyme was retained, but no further loss in the activity was observed.     

Pertraction of Penicillin G in Hollow Fiber Contained Liquid Membranes

Pertraction of Penicillin G in Hollow Fiber Contained Liquid Membranes was investigated in a system consisting of 2 Liqui Cel 106 modules from Hoechst Celanese. The flux of Pen G depended upon the content of n-octanol and of Amberlite LA2 in kerosene used as a membrane phase. During the pertraction of Pen G in HFCLM system the pH difference between the both buffered aqueous phases diminished proportionally to the contact time with the membrane phase. The flux of citric acid used as a buffer component in the feed phase attained 11.8 mM/m²·h and was comparable with the flux of Pen G equal to 18.4 mM/m²·h. In order to eliminate the undesired transport of citric acid, CO₂ was used as a volatile buffer component. Although the pH values were stabilised in the range of 5.47 and 7.45 in the feed and strip phase, respectively, the achieved Pen G flux was significantly lower.

Photochemical Reactions in Carbohydrate Synthesis. Conversion of L-Arabinose Into L-Streptose

Abstract

A synthesis for L-streptose (1) is described. This synthesis differs from those previously reported in several ways, one of which is the use of photochemical reactions in two important steps. These reactions are part of a sequence leading from L-arabinose (2) to 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-L-threo-pentofuranos-3-ulose (3). Two other photochemical reactions are considered as a part of the conversion of 3 into L-streptose (1) but neither proved useful. L-Streptose (1) is synthesized from 3 by a sequence of reactions which involves formation of 5-deoxy-l,2-O-isopropylidene-3-C-nitromethyl-β-L-lyxo-furanose (10) and subsequent reaction of 10 with titanium(III) chloride.
