Potential use of a novel lipase from Aspergillus carneus in deacetylation reactions

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1998 Sep 8;1387(1-2):325-30. doi: 10.1016/s0167-4838(98)00148-4.

Abstract

A novel lipase from Aspergillus carneus has been used in organic solvents for efficient regioselective and chemoselective deacetylation of the peracetates of polyphenolic aromatic ketones, esters and amides. A reversal of regioselectivity was observed as compared with the results obtained during deacetylation with porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL).
