  • Enantioselective resolution of racemic para-nitrostyrene oxide was investigated using epoxide hydrolase activity of Aspergillus niger LK for the production of optically pure (S)-para-nitrostyrene oxide. To overcome the poor solubility of the substrate, enantioselective hydrolysis in an organic solvent was attempted under optimized reaction conditions including reaction temperature and water content. (S)-para-Nitrostyrene oxide with high optical purity (> 99% ee) was obtained at 37% yield using fungal epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed enantioselective resolution.

  • An enantioselective lipase gene (esf) for the kinetic resolution of optically active (S)-flurbiprofen was cloned from the new strain Serratia marcescens ES-2. The esf gene was composed of a 1,845-bp open reading frame encoding 614 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 64,978 Da. The lipase expressed in E. coli was purified by a three-step procedure, and it showed preferential substrate specificity toward the medium-chain-length fatty acids. The esf gene encoding the enantioselective lipase was reintroduced into the parent strain S. marcescens ES-2 for secretory overexpression. The transformant S. marcescens BESF secreted up to 217kU/ml of the enantioselective lipase, about 54-fold more than the parent strain, after supplementing 3.0% Triton X-207. The kinetic resolution of (S)-flurbiprofen was carried out even at an extremely high (R,S)-flurbiprofen ethyl ester [(R,S)-FEE] concentration of 500 mM, 130 kU of the S. marcescens ES-2 lipase per mmol of (R,S)-FEE, and 1,000 mM of succinyl ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ as the dispenser at $37^{\circ}C$ for 12h, achieving the high enantiomeric excess and conversion yield of 98% and 48%, respectively.

  • The use of enantioselective hydrolysis for preparing chiral epichlorohydrins was investigated using recombinant Pichia pastoris with the enantioselective epoxide hydrolase of Rhodotorula glutinis. The rate of the recombinant epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epichlorohydrins was enhanced by the addition of 5%(v/v) Tween 20. Enantiopure (R)-epichlorohydrins with an enantiopurity of 100% ee and a yield of 26% were obtained within 5min from 50mM racemates.
