Here we report the stereoselective hydrolysis of racemic esters catalyzed by Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) immobilized on octyl-sepharose via physical adsorption. Hydrophobic immobilization caused to almost six fold hyperactivation with 229.2 and 81.3 U/mg enzyme for immobilized CRL and ROL, respectively (13.2 and 48.75 U/mg for corresponding free enzyme). Based on the preliminary results, CRL was chosen for further investigation. The performance and yield of the reaction were evaluated as a function of the critical reaction parameters such as temperature, enzyme to substrate ratio and organic co-solvent. An increase in the temperature resulted to decrease in enantioselectivity of hydrolysis reaction. The hydrolysis reactions were carried out in presence of two organic solvents; n-hexane and isooctane. Generally n-hexane was a better co-solvent compared to isooctane. High enantioselective hydrolysis of the racemic esters (yielding S(+) ibuprofen; ee ≤ 95%) can be achieved using the immobilized CRL. Among various esters the kinetic resolution of ibuprofen butyl ester yielded the best results (E value 70 and 74; conversion 14.6 and 8.9 in n-hexane and isooctane, respectively). The immobilized derivatives were re-used in four cycles and showed little decrease in enantiomeric excess of (S)-ibuprofen. 96.7 eep and conversion 14.6 in first cycle reached to 90.5 eep and conversion 11.3 in the forth cycle.

In this work we have reported the formulation of a CO2-based micelle stabilized by nontoxic TMN series surfactants. Enantioselection of racemic ibuprofen catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) was used as a model reaction. The effect of reactive parameters, such as temperature, pH, pressure, and water content on reactive environment and conversion has been discussed. For the resolution of racemic ibuprofen in CO2-based micelles, the enzymatic activity reached a high level at 45 °C, with pressure 250 bar, pH 7.4, and water to surfactant ratio W0 25. In addition, the relatively long-chain length in TMN-10 could help the esterification and trans-esterification processes, which resulted in an efficient reaction rate in a CO2-based micelle system. Enzymatic catalysis has been conducted in a CO2-based system rather than in the conventional media to make the enzyme reaction greener. The better resolution efficiency in high pressure CO2-based micelles could be achieved within a relatively short period of time compared with other traditional reactive systems.

A series of alkyl ester prodrugs of ibuprofen was synthesized and studied for its physicochemical properties like aqueous solubility, octanol-water partition coefficient and hydrolysis kinetics in aqueous buffer and human plasma. These physicochemical parameters have a forebearing on the overall activity profile of these prodrugs. Mathematical relationships have been derived to characterize these properties.
