Bacterial esterases are potential biocatalysts for the production of optically pure compounds. However, the substrate promiscuity and chiral selectivity of esterases usually have a negative correlation, which limits their commercial value. Herein, an efficient and versatile esterase (Est816) was identified as a promising catalyst for the hydrolysis of a wide range of economically important substrates with low enantioselectivity. We rationally designed several variants with up to 11-fold increased catalytic efficiency towards ethyl 2-arylpropionates, mostly retaining the initial substrate scope and enantioselectivity. These variants provided a dramatic increase in efficiency for biocatalytic applications. Based on the best variant Est816-M1, several variants with higher or inverted enantioselectivity were designed through careful analysis of the structural information and molecular docking. Two stereoselectively complementary mutants, Est816-M3 and Est816-M4, successfully overcame and even reversed the low enantioselectivity, and several 2-arylpropionic acid derivatives with highEvalues were obtained. Our results offer potential industrial biocatalysts for the preparation of structurally diverse chiral carboxylic acids and further lay the foundation for improving the catalytic efficiency and enantioselectivity of esterases.

Diquats with extremely high racemization barriers with ΔG≠theor of 233 kJ mol?1 at 180 °C are described. Reported configurational robustness is due to a combination of two structural features: the rigid o-xylylene tether connecting the nitrogen atoms and the presence of two substituents in the bay region of the bipyridinium scaffold. The straightforward synthesis of diquats, plus facile resolution and derivatization make them attractive for chiral application studies. This is demonstrated by: 1) synthesis of the first non-racemic diquat dyes with pronounced chiroptical properties, and 2) capability of diquats to interact stereospecifically with chiral molecules. This suggests potential for diquat derivatives to be used as chiral selectors in separation methods.

Abstract A rapid, sensitive and reproducible HPLC method has been developed for enantioseparation of six non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are acidic compounds: carprofen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ibuprofen, indoprofen and ketoprofen. The effects of the mobile phase composition on retention times and resolutions of the analytes were studied. A column based on vancomycin immobilized by reductive amination to aldehyde functionalised silica was prepared in house and used. The prepared sorbent shows a great stability and selectivity over a range of pH (4-6), and the separation was carried out using the mobile phase composed of a mixture of 40% of methanol in ammonium nitrate buffer (50 mM) at pH 5.0. Another mobile phase consisted of 50% of methanol in phosphate buffer (5A mM) at pH 5.0 was also prepared and tested. The two mobile phases are the optimum conditions obtained. All experiments were conducted at flow rate 0.6 ml/min, using a UV detector wavelength at λ = 254 nm.
