Abstract

The invention discloses a method for splitting (±)-methyl mandelate by esterase. It hydrolyzes (±)-methyl mandelate in the presence of esterase EST04211, and esterase EST04211 catalyzes S-methyl mandelate to generate S-mandelic acid, and then reacts R-methyl mandelate and S ‑Mandelic acid is separated, and the amino acid sequence of the esterase EST04211 is shown in SEQ ID NO.2. Compared with the traditional chemical resolution, the present invention has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, no pollution, and high enantiomeric excess value; compared with the currently reported enzymatic catalytic resolution, the esterase EST04211 used preferentially hydrolyzes the S-configuration Methyl mandelate yields optically pure R-mandelic acid methyl ester and S-mandelic acid with strong stereoselectivity. The obtained product can be used for the synthesis of corresponding drugs after simple purification.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biocatalysis, and in particular relates to a method for splitting (±)-methyl mandelate by esterase. Background technique: [0002] The enantiomers of mandelic acid and its derivatives are a very important class of pharmaceutical intermediates, which are widely used in the synthesis of various drugs, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, cyclomandelic esters, antitumor agents, coenzyme A, etc. The traditional preparation process of optically pure mandelic acid series compounds is to chemically synthesize racemic products and then perform chiral chemical resolution. This method has expensive reagents, pollutes the environment, and the purity is not high. The preparation of chiral compounds by biocatalysis is an emerging method integrating biotechnology and chemical engineering. This method has the advantages of high efficiency, strong selectivity, and environmental friendliness. It has become the focus and ...
