Author:Steenkamp, Lucia H; Brady, DDate:Jun 2010The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen is most effective as the single S-naproxen enantiomer. However, typical synthetic routes to naproxen yield the racemate of both the R and the S stereoisomers. Biocatalysts can be used to resolve ...Read more
Author:Steenkamp, Lucia H; Brady, DDate:Dec 2008Although the enantioselective kinetic resolution of ester racemates of the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug naproxen ([2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl) propionic acid]) is a common demonstration for biocatalysis, the enantiomeric excess of the ...Read more
