Lipases in racemic resolutions

Abstract: Lipases are enzymes that hydrolyse lipids into triglycerides and fatty acids. Due to the unique environment around their active site, they are capable of a wide range of racemic resolutions. This review article deals with the role of lipases in racemic resolutions with speci®c references to the stereospeci®city, role of solvents and enzyme structure.

“…In addition to their role in synthetic organic chemistry, these also find extensive applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and leather industries (Gulati et al, 2005;Gunstone, 1999). Promising fields for the application of lipases also include the biodegradation of Plastics (Gombert et al, 1999) and the resolution of racemic mixtures to produce optically active compounds (Muralidhar et al, 2001).…”

“…In addition to their role in synthetic organic chemistry, they find extensive applications in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and leather industries [26,27]. Promising fields for the application of lipases also include the biodegradation of plastics [24] and the resolution of racemic mixtures to produce optically active compounds [46]. These functions of lipases owe to their broad specificity for a wide spectrum of substrates, stability in organic solvents and enantioselectivity [16].…”

“…Biochemical studies on screening lipases from various origins were sufficiently conducted, so that their characteristics such as hydrolysis activity and substrate/positional specificity have been clearly understood [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Several organic solvents never lowering the enzyme activity have been also reported [20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Therefore, the above problems can be overcome by this method. Furthermore, the enzymes have substrate and positional specificities [12][13][14][15][16][17], so that the side reactions such as saponification, polymerization and oxidation are prevented to enhance the yield of the desired product.…”
