Immobilization of lipases on hydrophobic supports: immobilization mechanism, advantages, problems, and solutions.

The use of biocatalysis in the pharmaceutical industry continues to expand as a result of increased access to enzymes and the ability to engineer those enzymes to meet the demands of industrial processes. However, we are still just scratching the surface of potential biocatalytic applications. The time pressures present in pharmaceutical process development are incompatible with the long lead times required for engineering a suitable biocatalyst. Dramatic increases in the speed of protein engineering are needed to deliver on the ever increasing opportunities for industrial biocatalytic processes.

Biocatalysis in the Pharmaceutical Industry: The Need for Speed

Synthesis of chiral amines using redox biocatalysis.

ConspectusHeterogeneous catalysis and one-pot tandem reactions are key for efficient and practical organic syntheses and for green and sustainable chemistry. Heterogeneous catalysts can be recovered and reused. These catalysts can be applied to efficient systems, such as continuous-flow systems. Tandem reactions often proceed via highly reactive but unstable intermediates. Tandem reactions do not require workup or much purification of the intermediate.This Account summarizes recent developments that we have made in the field of multifunctional heterogeneous metal nanocluster catalysts for use in tandem reactions based on aerobic oxidation reactions as key processes. We constructed our heterogeneous metal nanoclusters via two important procedures—microencapsulation and cross-linking—using polystyrene-based copolymers with cross-linking moieties. These frameworks can efficiently stabilize small metal nanoclusters to maintain high catalytic activity without aggregation and leaching of nanoclusters. Aggregati...

Tandem Oxidative Processes Catalyzed by Polymer-Incarcerated Multimetallic Nanoclusters with Molecular Oxygen

The broad interdisciplinary nature of biocatalysis fosters innovation, as different technical fields are interconnected and synergized. A way to depict that innovation is by conducting a survey on patent activities. This paper analyses the intellectual property activities of the last five years (2014–2019) with a specific focus on biocatalysis applied to asymmetric synthesis. Furthermore, to reflect the inventive and innovative steps, only patents that were granted during that period are considered. Patent searches using several keywords (e.g., enzyme names) have been conducted by using several patent engine servers (e.g., Espacenet, SciFinder, Google Patents), with focus on granted patents during the period 2014–2019. Around 200 granted patents have been identified, covering all enzyme types. The inventive pattern focuses on the protection of novel protein sequences, as well as on new substrates. In some other cases, combined processes, multi-step enzymatic reactions, as well as process conditions are the innovative basis. Both industries and academic groups are active in patenting. As a conclusion of this survey, we can assert that biocatalysis is increasingly recognized as a useful tool for asymmetric synthesis and being considered as an innovative option to build IP and protect synthetic routes.
