A new biocatalyst for the preparation of enantiomerically pure 2-arylpropanoic acids
摘要:
A new biocatalyst. a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens MTCCB0015. is described. which produces ibuprofen. ketoprofen and flurbiprofen as enantiomerically pure (S)-2-arylpropanoic acids from their corresponding racemic esters. 2-Arylpropanoic acids are an important class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, compound,. whose anti-inflammatory activity is mainly due to the (S)-enantiomer.
