Hydrolysis pancreatic lipase

FIGURE 24.3 (a) A duct at the junction of the pancreas and duodenum secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine, (b) Hydrolysis of triacylglycerols by pancreatic and intestinal lipases. Pancreatic lipases cleave fatty acids at the C-1 and C-3 positions. Resulting monoacylglycerols with fatty acids at C-2 are hydrolyzed by intestinal lipases. Fatty acids and monoacylglycerols are absorbed through the intestinal wall and assembled into lipoprotein aggregates termed chylomicrons (discussed in Chapter 25). 

Immobilized PLE was applied to promote stereoselective acetylation of prochiral bis(hydroxymethyl)methyl-phenylgermane 106 (R = Me) with vinyl acetate as a solvent and acyl donor. Later on, the same group reported that each enantiomer of hydridogermane monoacetates 107 (R = H) was obtained either via acetylation of the bis-hydroxy derivative 106 (R = H) or hydrolysis of the corresponding diacetate 108 (R = H). In both methods, porcine pancreatic lipase was used and, obviously, each reaction led to a different enantiomer of 107 (Equation 51). ... 

The key-step of Mori s synthesis of 12 was pig pancreatic lipase (PPL)-cat-alyzed asymmetric hydrolysis of raeso-diacetate A to give B (Scheme 22) [32]. Purification of B (90.8% ee) afforded pure C, which was converted to 12.

A further group of AT-[(acyloxy)methyl] pro-moieties contains acidic and/or lipid-like substituents. Here again, most published results concern phenytoin. Thus, some phenytoin-lipid conjugates such as 8.183 and 8.186 (with R = various fatty acyl moieties) were reported [233]. Such prodrugs are, of course, insoluble in water but formed dispersions when briefly sonicated in EtOH/water mixtures containing sodium taurodeoxycholate. No significant hydrolysis was seen in buffer or plasma. In contrast, incubation with pancreatic lipase yielded the bis-deacyl derivatives (i.e., 8.182 and 8.185, respectively), with subsequent liberation of phenytoin the time for 50% liberation of phenytoin varied from 20 to 200 min under the conditions of the studies [233][234], The intermediates 8.182, 8.184, and 8.185 were also substrates for human and rat plasma hydrolases.

Fats (triacylglycerols) are mainly attacked by pancreatic lipase at positions 1 and 3 of the glycerol moiety. Cleavage of two fatty acid residues gives rise to fatty acids and 2-mono-acylglycerols, which are quantitatively the most important products. However, a certain amount of glycerol is also formed by complete hydrolysis. These cleavage products are resorbed by a non-ATP-dependent process that has not yet been explained in detail. 

Kinetic resolutions by means of the selective formation or hydrolysis of an ester group in enzyme-catalyzed reactions proved to be a successful strategy in the enantioseparation of 1,3-oxazine derivatives. Hydrolysis of the racemic laurate ester 275 in the presence of lipase QL resulted in formation of the enantiomerically pure alcohol derivative 276 besides the (23, 3R)-enantiomer of the unreacted ester 275 (Equation 25) <1996TA1241 >. The porcine pancreatic lipase-catalyzed acylation of 3-(tu-hydroxyalkyl)-4-substituted-3,4-dihydro-2/7-l,3-oxazines with vinyl acetate in tetrahydrofuran (THF) took place in an enantioselective fashion, despite the considerable distance of the acylated hydroxy group and the asymmetric center of the molecule <2001PAC167, 2003IJB1958>. 

Hydrolases, which catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds. The best-known subcategory of hydrolases are the lipases, which hydrolyze ester bonds. In the example of human pancreatic lipase, which is the main enzyme responsible for breaking down fats in the human digestive system, a lipase acts to convert triglyceride substrates found in oils from food to monoglycerides and free fatty acids. In the chemical industry, lipases are also used, for instance, to catalyze the —C N —CONH2 reaction, for the synthesis of acrylamide from acrylonitril, or nicotinic acid from 3-pyridylnitrile. 

Correct answer = A. Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes dietary triacylglycerol primarily to 2-monoacylglycerol plus two fatty acids. These products of hydrolysis can be absorbed by the intestinal mucosal cells. Bile salts do not inhibit release of fatty acids from triacylglycerol, but rather are necessary for the proper solubilization and hydrolysis of dietary triacylglycerol in the small intestine. Short- and medium-chain length fatty acids enter the portal circulation after absorption from the small intestine. Synthesis of apolipoproteins, especially apo B-48, is essential for the assembly and secretion of chylomicrons. 

Both lipoprotein lipase and the less well understood hepatic lipase are related structurally to pancreatic lipase.42,4213 In addition to hydrolysis of the triacylglycerols, the uptake of materials from lipoproteins probably involves shedding of intact phospholipids, perhaps as liposome-like particles 40...

The kinetic results for the lipase-catalysed enantioselective hydrolysis of the esters (236)-(240) can be interpreted in terms of frontier orbital localization.213 The porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL)-mediated optical resolution of 18 racemic esters can be explained by a mechanistic model involving a W-shaped active conformation of the substrate lying in a diastereo-discriminating plane.214...

Their mode of appearance in the lumen of the intestine is rather complicated and involves activation of trypsinogen secretion by enterokinase. Once trypsin is formed it activates chymotrypsinogen. Pancreatic lipase is also secreted into the lumen with the pancreatic fluid. The digestion process of fatty acids by their lipase-mediated hydrolysis is completed by bile salts, which are also secreted in the duodenum and are crucial for micellization of lipophilic compounds. The micelles formed in the duodenum enable the absorption of hydro-phobic drugs such as steroids. They pose, however, a serious constraint for the stability of drug delivery carriers such as liposomes and emulsions.

Enantiomerically pure cyclopropanes are a frequent motif in the structure of natural products. Their synthesis is often demanding and many approaches have been made [50, 51]. Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) was used for the stereoselective desymmetrization of a cyclopropane dibutanoate (Fig. 2). The asymmetric hydrolysis of the meso compound yielded the corresponding enantiopure alcohol almost quantitatively. The intermediate obtained was successfully applied in the total synthesis of dictyopterenes A and C, sexual pheromones of brown algae [52], and constanolactones (see below) [53]. 

The 5 -(-)-2-cyclohexy 1-1,3-propanediol monoacetate (24) and the S-( )-2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol monoacetate (25) are key chiral intermediates for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of Monopril (26) (Fig. 10), a new antihypertensive drug which acts as an ACE inhibitor. The asymmetric hydrolysis of 2-cyclohexyl-1,3-propanediol diacetate (27) and 2-phenyl-1,3-propanediol diacetate (28) to the corresponding S-( - )-monoacetate (24) and S-( )-monoacetate (25) by porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) and Chromobacterium viscosum lipase have been demon-...
