The substrate preferences of three acylases - two wild-type enzymes and an evolved variant obtained by directed evolution - which are prototypical enzymes for glutaryl-7-ACA acylase and cephalosporin C acylase subfamilies, have been investigated. A preliminary screening of enzymes' performances on a large set of substrates has been carried out by a colorimetric assay performed in 96-well plates and by a pH-Stat monitoring the hydrolytic activities. Subsequently, kinetic data for selected substrates have been determined, thus elucidating the substrate preference of members of glutaryl-7-ACA acylase vs. cephalosporin C acylase subfamilies. These achievements pave the way to the ability of choosing the best enzyme for the hydrolysis of different compounds of industrial importance.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising ≥85 wt% of an N-deacylated cephalosporin, a process for making the same and the use of said N-deacylated cephalosporin in the preparation of highly pure semi synthetic cephalosporins.
Glutaryl Acylases: One-Reaction Enzymes or Versatile Enantioselective Biocatalysts?

A significant broad substrate specificity, that crosses over the usual β-lactam derivatives, has been observed with an industrial glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase (GA). This enzyme possesses significant enantioselective amidase and even esterase activity, with a stereopreference for the S-enantiomer. The easy separation of products from unreacted reagents, possessing different physical-chemical properties, is achieved by solvent extraction, avoiding chromatography or distillation during reaction work-up.
