Abstract
Enzymatic synthesis of 3-chloro-7-D-(2-phenylglycinamide)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic
acid (cefaclor) by penicillin acylase (PA) was carried out with in situ product removal (ISPR) under kinetic control. The yield of cefaclor highly depended on substrate concentrations and the ratio of nucleus to acyl donor. Substrate concentrations were optimized
as 50 mmol l–1 of 7-aminodesacetoxymethyl-3-chlorocephalosporanic acid (7ACCA)
and 100 mmol l–1 of phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) at the conditions: temperature 20 °C, pH 6.3; and enzyme load was 8 IU ml–1. It is effective to improve the transfer of acyl donor through controlling the substrate concentration with feeding acyl donor. The
conversion of nucleus and acyl donor was improved to 93 % and 62 %, respectively.
