Enzymatic acylation of flavonoids

Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical Analysis of Simarouba Glauca Leaf Extract.

“…Flavonoids had been reported to exert wide range of biological activities. These include: Antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-allergic [17][18][19] , cytotoxic anti-tumour, treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, vasodilatory action [20][21][22] . The phytochemical analyses of the medicinal plants is important and have commercial interest in both research institutes and pharmaceuticals companies for the manufacturing of the new drugs for the treatment of various diseases.…”

Enzyme-Mediated Preparation of Flavonoid Esters and Their Applications

“…Results in this field suggest that a high degree of conversion to desired esters can be achieved when optimal reaction conditions are applied. The key factors, which influence regioselectivity and the performance of the enzymatic acylation of flavonoids, include type and concentration of enzyme, structure and concentration of the substrates (acyl donor, acyl acceptor and their ratio), nature of the reaction media, water content in the media, reaction temperature and nature of the reaction as reviewed in Chebil et al, 2006Chebil et al, , 2007.…”

Clonacion, expresión, caracterización y modelado de esterasas putativas de Corynebacterium glutamicum ATTC 13032

“…Las esterasas y lipasas se utilizan ampliamente en la industria alimentaria como ingredientes o aditivos (Figueroa-Espinosa & Villeneuve 2005;Chevil et al 2006) para la transformación de aceites y grasas (Bloomer et al 1990;Undurraga et al 2001), para el desarrollo de aromas, para la sínte-sis de antibióticos (Sánchez-Ferrer et al 2007), la separación de mezclas puras (Bournscheuer & Kazlauskas 1999;Reetz 2004) y fabricación de detergentes etc. En todos estos procesos se requiere que la enzima utilizada resista la presencia de detergentes y disolventes orgánicos.…”
