A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method, using an organic modifier-phosphate buffered mobile phase, for the determination of the enantiomeric composition of 2-arylpropionic acids and other structurally related compounds in microbial media is described. The method is based on the resolution of diastereoisomeric amides formed from the reaction of the arylpropionic acid with either (-)-(S)-alpha-methylbenzylamine or (-)-(S)-1-(naphthen-1-yl)ethylamine in the presence of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide HCl and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and incorporating an internal standard. The addition of sodium pentanesulphonate to the mobile phase as an ion-pairing agent was necessary to remove unreacted amine to avoid rapid column deterioration. The method provides and efficient, rapid and reproducible means of monitoring the microbial chiral inversion of 2-arylpropionic acids and other structurally related molecules.

The hazards of man-made chiral compounds are of great public concern, with reports of worrying stereoselective compounds and an urgent need to assess their transport. This study evaluated the transport of 2-arylpropionic acid derivatives enantiomers (2-APA) in porous media under a variety of solution chemistry conditions via column packing assays. The results revealed the introduction of Malic acid (MA) enantiomers enhanced the mobility of 2-APA enantiomers, but the enhancement effect was different for different 2-APA enantiomers.

Among the most recent proposals regarding the mechanism of action of dipyrone, the modulation of cannabinoid receptors CB and CB appears to be a promising hypothesis. In this context, the present work describes a series of five novel pyrazolamides (-) designed as molecular hybrids of dipyrone metabolites and NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and flurbiprofen. Target compounds were obtained in good overall yields (50-80%) by classical amide coupling between 4-aminoantipyrine and arylacetic or arylpropionic acids, followed in some cases by -methylation of the amide group.

This work examined the chiral inversion of 2-arylpropionic acids (2-APAs) under anaerobic conditions and the associated microbial community. The anaerobic condition was simulated by two identical anaerobic digesters. Each digester was fed with the substrate containing 11 either pure ()- or pure ()-2-APA enantiomers.

This study examined the removal and enantio‑specific fate of a suite of eleven chiral 2-arylpropionic acids (2-APAs) during biological wastewater treatment simulated in a laboratory-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR). Using pure (R)- and (S)- enantiomers in the MBR influent, chiral inversion was determined through the increase in the concentration of the non-dominant enantiomer and changes in the enantiomeric fraction (EF) between the two enantiomers during the treatment process. Effective (>90%) and similar removal rates between (R)- and (S)- enantiomers were confirmed for eight 2-APAs.

Esterases are important biocatalysts for chemical synthesis. Several bHSL family esterases have been used to prepare ()-2-arylpropionic acids with stronger anti-inflammatory effects kinetic resolution. Here, we presented the discovery of key residues that controlled the enantioselectivity of bHSL family esterases to ethyl 2-arylpropionates, through careful analysis of the structural information and molecular docking.
