Poly-j3-malate is readily degraded completely to L-malic acid under both acid and base conditions [108], and it can also be hydrolyzed by enzymes within the cell [105,106]. Recently, several bacteria were isolated which were able to utilize poly-/i-malate as sole carbon source for growth [109]. Because the polymer is biodegradable and bioadsorbable, it is of considerable interest for pharmaceutical applications, especially in controlled-release drug delivery systems [97,98]. Chemical routes to poly-/ -malate are expected to provide materials with various properties [110]. 

Because of the high potential of alkaloid-based alkylations for synthesis of amino acids, several groups focused on the further enantiomeric enrichment of the products [20]. In addition to product isolation issues, a specific goal of those contributions was improvement of enantioselectivity to ee values of at least 99% ee during downstream-processing (e.g. by crystallization). For pharmaceutical applications high enantioselectivity of >99% ee is required for optically active a-amino acid products. 

The agent of choice will be determined by a number of and equipment-related factors. For pharmaceutical applications in isolators the sterilants in most general use are peracetic add and hydrogen peroxide. 

In many cases, the racemization of a substrate required for DKR is difficult As an example, the production of optically pure cc-amino acids, which are used as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and as chiral synfhons in organic chemistry [31], may be discussed. One of the important methods of the synthesis of amino acids is the hydrolysis of the appropriate hydantoins. Racemic 5-substituted hydantoins 15 are easily available from aldehydes using a commonly known synthetic procedure (Scheme 5.10) [32]. In the next step, they are enantioselectively hydrolyzed by d- or L-specific hydantoinase and the resulting N-carbamoyl amino acids 16 are hydrolyzed to optically pure a-amino acid 17 by other enzymes, namely, L- or D-specific carbamoylase. This process was introduced in the 1970s for the production of L-amino acids 17 [33]. For many substrates, the racemization process is too slow and in order to increase its rate enzymes called racemases are used. In processes the three enzymes, racemase, hydantoinase, and carbamoylase, can be used simultaneously this enables the production of a-amino acids without isolation of intermediates and increases the yield and productivity. Unfortunately, the commercial application of this process is limited because it is based on L-selective hydantoin-hydrolyzing enzymes [34, 35]. For production of D-amino acid the enzymes of opposite stereoselectivity are required. A recent study indicates that the inversion of enantioselectivity of hydantoinase, the key enzyme in the... 

Flavonoid glycosides and their esters are an important group of natural compounds isolated from plants. They are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food preparations, and it is therefore not surprising that the search for new derivatives with improved antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, or-more sim-ply-with more suitable physico-chemical properties for specific applications (i.e., increased stability and/or solubility), has identified enzyme-catalyzed regioselective esterification as a particularly promising approach to the target molecules [21a],... 

Bioactive peptides can be extracted and purified with these technologies, which vary from simple to complex. Following this, the isolation of bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides, fatty acids, enzymes, water-soluble minerals, and biopolymers for biotechnological and pharmaceutical applications is possible. Further, some of these bioactive peptides have been identified to possess nutraceutical potentials that are beneficial for human health. 

Several complexes have been tested for potential pharmaceutical applications and some of them have been introduced into practice.84,126 Isolation of antibiotics of boron complex type (Section 24.3.3.2) and results obtained with carboxyborane complexes that are analogues of amino acids (Section 24.2.2) are likely to stimulate further studies. Quite a few boron complexes have found application in 10B neutron capture therapy based on the 10B(n, a)7Li nuclear reaction.84,126,172... 

Analytical TLC differs from PLC in that larger weights and volumes of samples are applied as a band across the entire layer width to thicker (0.5-2 mm) and sometimes larger layers, the purpose of which is the isolation and purification of 10-1000 mg of sample for further analysis. Multiple development of the plate is commonly used, and the separated substances are detected by a non-destructive method (e.g., under UV light and iodine vapors), and recovered by extraction from scraped layer material. PLC can be used to isolate sufficient pure drug compounds for confirmation by spectrometry in cases where analytical TLC is not adequate for identification. Examples of pharmaceutical applications of PLC include a new sesquiterpene trimer and phenylpropanoid glycosides. ...
