Preferential crystallization is a cost efficient method to provide pure enantiomers from a racemic mixture of a conglomerate forming system. Exploiting small amounts of pure crystals of both enantiomers, several batch or continuous processes were develope

A biocatalytic route for the synthesis of a potential β-blocker, (S)-moprolol is reported here. Enantiopure synthesis of moprolol is mainly dependent on the chiral intermediate, 3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-propane-1,2-diol. Various commercial lipases were screened for the enantioselective resolution of (RS)-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol to produce the desired enantiomer. Among them, Aspergillus Niger lipase (ANL) was selected on the basis of both stereo- and regioselectivity. The optimized values of various reaction parameters were determined such as enzyme (15 mg/mL), substrate concentration (10 mM), organic solvent (toluene), reaction temperature (30 °C), and time (18 h).The optimized conditions led to achieving >49% yield with high enantiomeric excess of (S)-3-(2-methoxyphenoxy)propane-1,2-diol. The lipase-mediated catalysis showed regioselective acylation with dual stereoselectivity. Further, the enantiopure intermediate was used for the synthesis of (S)-moprolol, which afforded the desired β-blocker. Chirality 28:313-318, 2016.

In diabetic patients, an early index of peripheral neuropathy is the slowing of conduction velocity in large myelinated neurons and a lack of understanding of the basic pathogenic mechanisms hindered therapeutics development. Racemic (R/S)-guaifenesin (1) was identified as a potent enhancer of neurite outgrowth using an in vitro screen. Its R-enantiomer (R)-1 carried the most biological activity, whereas the S-enantiomer (S)-1 was inactive. Focused structural variations to (R/S)-1 was conducted to identify potentially essential groups for the neurite outgrowth activity. In vivo therapeutic studies indicated that both (R/S)-1 and (R)-1 partially prevented motor nerve conduction velocity slowing in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes. In vitro microsomal assays suggested that compounds (R)-1 and (S)-1 are not metabolized rapidly, and PAMPA assay indicated moderate permeability through the membrane. Findings revealed here could lead to the development of novel drugs for diabetic neuropathy.
