An array of different derivatives of the complex ursane-type triterpene glycoside asiaticoside (1), a saponin component isolated from the perennial herb Centella asiatica, was generated by exploiting the stereo-, regio- and site-selectivity of four groups of enzymes (glycosidases, glycosyltransferases, lipases and laccases). A library of extracellular alpha-L-rhamnosidases (31 different items) was obtained by s...
The enzyme-mediated preparation of enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched polycyclic cyanohydrins has been investigated. Oxynitrilase-catalyzed cyanurations gave excellent results with the bicyclic aldehydes tested. On the other hand, enantio- or diastereoselective acylation, catalyzed by lipase PS or subtilisin, proved to be a more versatile methodology, giving good results even with sterically hinder...
