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.

A new series of [1,2,4] triazolo [3,4-b] [1,3,4] thiadiazines 5 incorporating α or β naphthyloxyethyl moiety were synthesized by an intramolecular ring transformation of (1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-yl) thio ketones 6 with hydrazine hydrate. The novel compounds we

A series of 2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)propionic acid derivatives were prepared. The hypolipidemic activity of the new compounds as well as the intermediate acid 2 was evaluated in the high cholesterol diet (HCD) fed hyperlipidemic rat model. Interestingly, the S-alkylated mercaptotriazole 8b and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole 9 produced striking reduction of serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs) and low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and elevation of serum high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) being more active than the reference gemfibrozil. In addition, the 1,2,4-triazole 7a, the hydroxypyrazoline 10 and the pyrazolone derivative 11 exhibited good hypolipidemic activity on different lipid parameters.

A hydrolase producing strain Trichosporon beigelli esterase (TBE) isolated from local cottage cheese in its native form has displayed versatility and high efficacy in the kinetic resolution of a wide range of economically important substrates, which include racemic secondary alcohols, such as 1-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)ethanol (E ～ 316), 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl) ethanol and pentanol (E ～ 180 and 156 resp.), and alkyl esters of carboxylic acids such as ibuprofen (E ～ 340), 2-(benzylthio)propanoic acid (E ～ 1000). In other substrates such as in the primary alcohol 2-(6-methoxy-2- naphthyl)propan-1-ol and carboxylic acids such as 2-(5-bromo-6-methoxy-2- naphthyl)propanoic acid, 2-(2-naphthyloxy)propanoic acid, and substituted 2-thiopropanoic acids, it displayed moderate to low selectivity. Commercial lipases such as CCL, PPL, and PSL were also used in the resolution of the substrates for comparative studies.
Microbial deracemization of α-substituted carboxylic acids: Substrate specificity and mechanistic investigation

A new enzymatic method for the preparation of optically active α-substituted carboxylic acids is reported. This technique is called deracemization reaction, which provides us with a route to obtain the enantiomerically pure compounds, theoretically in 100% yield starting from the racemic mixture. This means that the synthesis of a racemate is almost equal to the synthesis of the optically active compound, and this concept is entirely different from the commonly accepted one in the asymmetric synthesis. Using the growing cell system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM3208, racemates of 2-aryl- and 2-aryloxypropanoic acid are deracemized smoothly and (R)-form-enriched products are recovered in high chemical yield (>50%). In addition, using optically active starting compounds and deuterated derivatives as well as inhibitors, we have disclosed the fact that a new type of enzyme takes part in this biotransformation, and that the reaction proceeds probably via the same mechanism as that in rat liver.
