Epoxide hydrolase-catalyzed resolution of ethyl 3-phenylglycidate using whole cells of Pseudomonas sp.

Biotechnol. Lett. 25(24) , 2113-6, (2003)

A Pseudomonas sp. was isolated with enantioselective epoxide hydrolase activity to ethyl 3-phenylglycidate. Cells grown on sucrose and suspended in 10% (v/v) dimethyl formamide as co-solvent produced (2R,3S) ethyl 3-phenylglycidate with 95% ee and 26% yield i...

Investigation of the mutagenicity of ethylphenylglycidate.

Mutat. Res. 138(1) , 1-8, (1984)

EPG and an in vitro digest of EPG by pepsin and pancreatin simulating mammalian digestion have been examined for genotoxicity in 4 mutagenicity tests employing different genetic endpoints. In the Salmonella reverse mutation assay, EPG showed only slight mutag...
