Abstract

Enzymatic transesterification of glucose with the vinyl ester of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was in organic media performed for synthesis of novel NSAIDs-glucose conjugates. Glucose was regioselectively acylated at the 6-hydroxyl group. The indomethacin-glucose conjugate and ketoprofen-glucose conjugate were produced by the catalysis of alkaline protease from Bacillus subtilis in the respective yields of 42% (over 48 h) and 63% (over 40 h). The etodolac-glucose conjugate was obtained in 26% yield (over 144 h) by lipase from Candida antarctica.
