Racemic ethyl 2-benzyl-3-(tert-butylsulfonyl)propionate (1) and racemic ethyl 2-benzyl-3-[[1-methyl-1-((morpholin-4-yl)carbonyl)ethyl]sulfonyl] propionate (3) were enantioselectively hydrolyzed by subtilisin Carlsberg generating the respective (S)-acids used as building blocks for renin inhibitors. The esters were readily converted as emulsions at elevated temperature, in a suspended form or a two-phase-liquid system. The enzyme maintained its excellent selectivity and a good activity also at high initial substrate concentrations (up to 50% w/w). The enzymatic reaction and work-up were optimized and scaled up. Emulsion problems during work-up encountered with these highly concentrated mixtures were solved by application of a disk separator for phase separation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D010666 Phenylpropionates Derivatives of 3-phenylpropionic acid, including its salts and esters.
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.

D004655 Emulsions Colloids formed by the combination of two immiscible liquids such as oil and water. Lipid-in-water emulsions are usually liquid, like milk or lotion. Water-in-lipid emulsions tend to be creams. The formation of emulsions may be aided by amphiphatic molecules that surround one component of the system to form MICELLES. Emulsion
D004952 Esters Compounds derived from organic or inorganic acids in which at least one hydroxyl group is replaced by an –O-alkyl or another organic group. They can be represented by the structure formula RCOOR’ and are usually formed by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water. Ester
D006868 Hydrolysis The process of cleaving a chemical compound by the addition of a molecule of water.
