Abstract
The Candida sp. lipase prepared in our lab was used for the resolution of racemic ibuprofen. In order to study the effects of alcohol and solvent on the performance of Candida sp. lipase in enantioselective esterification of racemic ibuprofen, different alcohols were chosen as acyl acceptors in the same solvent, and identical substrates were used in different solvents. The reactions were performed under controlled water activity, thereby permitting the influences of the alcohols and the solvents to be separated from their ability to strip water from the solid enzyme. The results showed that alcohols and solvents had great effects on the performance of Candida sp. lipase.
