File Description [top]

Current Biotechnology Abstracts database corresponds to the printed publication Current Biotechnology formerly produced by The Royal Society of Chemistry and contains all of the material published in the hard-copy version since its start-up in April 1983. From January 2000 forward, the database is produced by the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Chemisches Apparatewesen (DECHEMA). Records contain bibliographic details, an informative abstract, and subject, chemical, and company indexes designed for ease of online searching. Documents indexed cover technocommercial news, scientific and technical items (including patents), and general information (forthcoming events, book announcements etc.).

  /AB  ABSTRACT:   The  present  review deals with biotransformations by which the 
        custom  manufacturer  Lonza  produces  intermediates  for  life science 
        companies  and especially pharmaceutical companies. Reactions catalysed 
        by  microorganisms and/or enzymes are understood as biotransformations; 
        the   microorganisms   can   be   wild-type  or  recombinant,  free  or 
        immobilised.  Biotransformations  are usually used for the synthesis of 
        chiral   molecules  as  well  as  for  reactions  that  are  chemically 
        impossible or difficult to carry out. In the text, the syntheses of the 
        following  substances as intermediates of pharmaceuticals done at Lonza 
         as well as the rationales for the use of biocatalysts are presented: 
          --oxidations    oxidation  of alkyl groups on aromatic heterocycles 
           -5-methylpyrazine-2-carboxylic   acid     -pyridyl-3-acetic   acid 
           regiospecific    hydroxylations    of    aromatic   N-heterocycles 
        -6-hydroxynicotinic acid    --reductions   -(R)-ethyl-4,4,4-trifluoro-3 
        -hydroxybutanoate    --hydrolysis   -nicotinamide   -(S)-pipecolic acid 
           and    (S)-piperidine-2-carboxylic    acid      -CBZ-D-proline   and 
         (R)-N-CBZ-proline    -(1R,4S)-1-amino-4-hydroxymethylcyclopent-2-ene 
        -(S)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide   -(S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydro 
           xy-2-methylpropionic   acid      --multi-enzyme-biotransformations

  /AB  ABSTRACT:   Die  Verf. befassen sich mit Biotransformationen, durch die der 
        Auftragshersteller    Lonza    Intermediate    fuer   Unternehmen   der 
        Lebenswissenschaften   und   insbesondere  pharmazeutische  Unternehmen 
        produziert.   Dabei   werden   unter   Biotransformationen   Reaktionen 
        verstanden,   die  von  Mikroorganismen  und/oder  Enzymen  katalysiert 
        werden;  die  Mikroorganismen  und/oder Enyzme koennen vom Wildtyp oder 
        rekombinant  sein,  frei  oder  immobilisiert  vorliegen.  In der Regel 
        werden  Biotransformationen  zur  Synthese chiraler Molekuele sowie bei 
        Reaktionen  eingesetzt,  die  auf  chemischem Weg nicht oder nur schwer 
         zugaenglich  sind.   Es werden die bei Lonza durchgefuehrten Synthesen 
        der  folgenden  Substanzen als Intermediate von Arzneimitteln sowie die 
         Rationalen  fuer  die  Verwendung  von  Biokatalysatoren vorgestellt:

1 Chemical substance names are segmented in all Basic Index fields; for example, TRINITROBENZENE is retrieved when searched as a single term or by searching the segments: TRI, NITRO, or BENZENE. To exclude the segments use the /FW suffix; e.g., S BENZENE/FW to retrieve the word set off by spaces or punctuation marks.

2 Includes descriptors and chemical substances; chemical substances are also searchable using SY=.

3 Includes Section cross-reference name.
