In recent years considerable progress has been made in www.rsc.org/ developing multistep one-pot reactions combining either advantage of chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity of biocatalysts or promiscuity and productivity of chemocatalysts. In this context several concepts, inspired by different disciplines (biocatalysis, metabolic engineering, synthetic chemistry, material science), have been evolved. This review will focus on major contributions in the field of cascade reactions over the last three years. Manuscript Accepted ChemComm This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013 Chem.

  • Purification and Characterization of Alanine Dehydrogenase from a Cyanobacterium, Phormidium Lapideum

The molecular mass of the native enzyme was 240kDa, and SDS-PAGE revealed a minimum molecular mass of 41 kDa, suggesting a six-subunit structure. The NH2 terminal amino acid residues of the purified AlaDH revealed marked similarity with that of other AlaDHs. The enzyme was highly specific for L-alanine and NAD+, but showed relatively low amino-acceptor specificity. The pH optimum was 8.4 for reductive amination of pyruvate and 9.2 for oxidative deamination of L-alanine. The Km values were 5.0mM for L-alanine and 0.04mM for NAD+, 0.33mM for pyruvate, 60.6mM for NH4+ (pH 8.7), and 0.02mM for NADH. Various L-amino acids including alanine, serine, threonine, and aromatic amino acids, inhibited the aminating reaction. The enzyme was inactivated upon incubation with pyridoxal 5•L-phosphate (PLP) followed by reduction with sodium borohydride. The copresence of NADH and pyruvate largely protected the enzyme against the inactivation by PLP. Key words: alanine dehydrogenase, cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapideum. Alanine dehydrogenase [L-alanine: NAD+ oxidoreductase, enzymological and regulatory aspects of AlaDH from deaminating, EC 1.4.1.1] catalyzes a reversible oxidative cyanobacteria, we have purified the enzyme from a non deamination of L-alanine to pyruvate and is found in -N2-fixing thermophilic cyanobacterium, Phormidium lapi Bacillus species and some other bacteria (1, 2).

ABSTRACT The behavior of pregabalin enantiomers obtained by resolution of the free γ-amino acid, racemic pregabalin (PGA) was investigated in the process of the resolution via diastereomeric salt formation. Various resolution methods, purification possibilities of the enantiomeric mixtures, the effect of the achiral compound, the crystallization time of the diastereomeric salt, and the effect of the solvent on the resolution were studied. Summarizing our experimental results, we can establish that the resolution of pregabalin is affected by kinetic control, and significant enantiomeric enrichment can be reached with the replenishment of the diastereomeric salt.

As a proof of concept, we used the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with nitroalkenes as a benchmark reaction. The resulting 3-substituted indole derivatives were obtained with better results due to cooperative effects of the chiral urea and a Brønsted acid additive. Such synergy has been rationalized in terms of disassembly of the supramolecular catalyst aggregates, affording a more acidic and rigid catalytic complex.

Received: 15 August 2020; Accepted: 11 September 2020; Published: 14 September 2020 Abstract: The use of biocatalysts in organic chemistry for catalyzing chemo-, regio- and stereoselective transformations has become an usual tool in the last years, both at lab and industrial scale. This is not only because of their exquisite precision, but also due to the inherent increase in the process sustainability. Nevertheless, most of the interesting industrial reactions involve water-insoluble substrates, so the use of (generally not green) organic solvents is generally required. Although lipases are capable of maintaining their catalytic precision working in those solvents, reactions are usually very slow and consequently not very appropriate for industrial purposes. Increasing reaction temperature would accelerate the reaction rate, but this should require the use of lipases from thermophiles, which tend to be more enantioselective at lower temperatures, as they are more rigid than those from mesophiles. Therefore, the ideal scenario would require a thermophilic lipase capable of retaining high enantioselectivity at high temperatures.

  • Summary of Mandelic Acid for the Improvement of Skin Conditions
    Summary of Mandelic Acid for the Improvement of Skin Conditions ver the past 3 years, mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) named after the German mandel (“almond”) and derived from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds,1 has been studied extensively for its possible uses in treating common skin problems such as photoaging, irregular pigmentation, and acne. An open-trial investigation conducted at the Gateway Aesthetic Institute and Laser Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, has shown that mandelic acid is useful in suppressing pigmentation, treating inflammatory noncystic acne, and rejuvenating photoaged skin. Moreover, it has proven useful in preparing the skin for laser peeling and in helping the skin heal after laser Fig. 1: Melasma in 45-year-old female (left) with hyperpigmen- surgery.
